In the case of the cinemas of medium class, the degrees of difference in attendance between the various categories is not in any way remarkable. In the case of the luxury cinemas, on the other hand, the children of professional men and men of private means appear as the greatest frequenters of this class of cinema, as might very well be expected. Another table, in decreasing ratio, shows the figures of attendance for two of the classes of cinema under discussion. Popular Cinemas : Workmen 45.82% Agriculturists 43.55 » Shop-keepers 23.38 » Employees 21.66 » Private Means 18.66" Professional Men 1 6.03 » Luxury Cinemas : Professional Men 32.48% Private Means 30.19 » Shop-keepers 28.14 » Employees 27.21 >» Agric altruists 13.66 » Workmen 11.80 » It is worth while noticing in this connection that the children of agriculturists and workmen frequent the higher class cinemas about 50 per cent less than the sons of emloyees, and about one third less than the sons and daughters of men of private means and professional men.
