In a few years — unless something happens to check it — the so-called independent producer will be frozen out of business." This was admitted: the chief cause for so many failures in the field is lack of capital. This plus the high cost of operating, causes the trouble. Print costs, as pointed out in Saturdays issue, also is a problem. Fred Cubberly, one of the cleverest operators in the state right field, declared on Saturday that it costs him 40 per cent for distribution in his territory doing a business of $5,000 a week which he claimed was more than several old line concerns did in the same district. "And after going over the books," he said, "having done as much business as we normally can expect in our territory, we find we made no money in 1923. And we have ample capital. If, under these conditions, we find it difficult to operate, what about the man who hasn't the capital?" One of the remedies pointed out was a further development in each territory of the plan effected in New England where a half dozen state right operators got together to reduce operating and other costs. Whether this can be done through the new organization is a question. On Broadway Astor — "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" Broadway — "Anna Christie."
