THEATRE RECEIPTS
Thea+re business was spotty during the current week, with few outstanding grosses being chalked up. The present week, figures for which will be published in the next issue of Motion Picture Herald, should see the end of the slightly depressed period due to Lent. There
is little doubt but that the week of April I I will show a decided trend upward in box office receipts, as was the case immediately following the Christmas holidays. Owing to better pictures and intensive advertising the theatres felt effect of Lent less this year then in 1930.
