The Film Renter and Moving Picture News (May-Jun 1923)

66 THE FILM RENTER & MOVING. PICTURE NEWS. NEWS AND NOTES FROM NEWCASTLE. (From our own Corresponder.t.) SPLASH is to be made with the Hepworth production, A “Pipes of Pan,’ which Mr. F. W. Morrison, local manager for Imperial Films, who is handling the film in this area, tells me his firm will shortly screen for a week at the Palace Theatre, Newcastle. The experiment, Mr. Morrison added, has been carefully thought out, and was decided upon after the leading exhibitors had had an opportunity of booking the film, but did not tuke the chance of showing it in their particular places. The Palace Theatre is one of the largest, if not the largest, in the city, having a seating accommodation of 4,000.. The show will be continuous from 5-30 to 10-30 p.m., and the charges for admission, tax included, will be: Dress circle, Is.; circle, $d.; pit, 6d.; and gallery, 4d. Mr. Morrison also remarked that he expected a special publicity man would visit the city, and he will, according to Mr. Morrison, paint Newcastle red with advertising matter respecting the film. Indisposed. Mr. R. Tapply, the manager for the territory on behalf of the Stoll Film Company, has been indisposed recently, but he is making satisfactory progress towards recovery. He expects to be fit for duty in a few days. “* Dr. Mabuse ’’ a Success in the North. “Dr. Mabuse,’” the Granger picture, had a particularly successful run at the Newcastle Picture House, and as the result of the reception from the general public, Mr. Wm. Walker, THE PAXMAN May 12, 1923.
