General — In January, Buenos Aires, with its population of 2,000,000, had 128 theaters showing films.
Approximately 60 houses were erected in South America during the year, it is estimated "by Monroe Isen, Universal's general manager for South America, in December. This is an increase over 1925 and a further increase is forecast for 1927, he says. The tendency is towards larger theaters ranging upward from 1,000 seats. In the past seating capacities of from 300 to 500 were in vogue. About 35 theaters have been constructed in Argentine this year, Isen states, and about 17 in Brazil. In Santiago the Venezuela Circuit has two new houses and plans three more in 1927. DISTRIBUTORS BUENOS AIRES
