Number of Establishments by Principal States An examination of Table III shows that more than 80 per cent of all motion picture establishments are located in six states. In 1929 California, the leading state, accounted for 41 per cent of all establishments and New York accounted for 21 per cent. By 1931 California had gained relatively and New York had lost, while in 1933 the reverse was true. The concentration in the six states was more marked in 1931 and also in 1933 than in 1929. 8976
