The diversity between the individual groups and the two sexes is quite remarkable. The boys frequent the cinema alone in a much higher proportion than the girls in the large centres, while the figures for the girls are higher both totally and proportionally than the boys in the smaller centres.
Attendance in the company of friends shows a progression in direct ratio with increase in age. Although the figures here are lower for the girls than for the boys, they are higher in the smaller centres than in the major ones.
This fact which is worth observing is easily to be explained. In the case of the larger centres, the girls have fewer chances of being accompanied in consequence of the greater distances. It is therefore logical that their families prefer to have them accompanied by relations to public shows rather than send them alone or with persons about whose conduct or morals they can know little.
The figures for attendance with relations show that the boys give low figures for both large and small centres. The girls show very high percentages in this respect for the more populous centres, while in the case of the minor centres they prefer to go to the cinema either alone or accompanied by friends.
The division according to the occupations of the parents without reference to age or centre is as follows : —

The varieties in the manner of attendance are also revealed in an interesting manner if one examines the kinds of occupations of the parents. It can be seen from the follow
