The workmen and the agriculturists take the first place, with percentages that cannot be beaten for attendance at the cinemas of a popular class, while the smallest attendance at such entertainment halls is given by the children of men of private means and the professional class, as might be expected. 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.

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.
