The Exhibitor (October 15, 1920)

34 "THE EXHIBITOR," OCTOBER 15, 1920 Throughout the State All Hazleton’s Theatres Change Admission Prices Following the advances made by the Campbell and Feeley in admission prices at Hazleton, the Hersker-Serdari circuit announced a new policy, effective Monday, October 11th. The advance in price at the circuit houses was only slight, but will help combat the increasing film rentals which, in justice to the first-run exhibitor, must also exact an increase from the other houses existing on the exhibition of film. Litigation Over Ownership of Dreamland, Hawley Litigation in the Wayne County courts over the ownership of the Dreamland Theatre, Hawley, is now attracting the attention of film men. The R.
