Bouveng, of Swedish Biograiih, in a statement covering film conditions in Scandinavia says, in part: "The him buymg capacity of Scandinavia has been rather overestimated. A glance at the map shows Scandinavia as a rather large area comprising the three well known kingdoms of Sweden, Norway and Denmark, but it is not always remembered that a large portion of this area is situated beyond the Polar Circle and is very sparsely populated. 'To get a correct impression of Scandinavia's position in the film market it is absolutely necessary to remember that the number of motion picture houses never reached more than 700, a number which is decreasing every day on account of prevailing low conjunctures. Also a great many of these theaters are to be found in small villages and communities with a small number of inliabitants; furthermore, half of the theaters are not able to play more than two or three times a week. "Economical conditions, coupled with the pressure of ta.xation, heavier than ever before, Itave been very unfavorable for the film business. A very good illustration of this fact is afforded by the motion picture theaters of Stockholm show a decrease of 27',( during 1921 as against the preceding year."' 300
