Plenty of Pictures
There are about 57,000 feet of new Photoplay material placed on the market every week, and of these fifty-seven reels many are duplicated fifty or seventy-five times. It is safe to say that each week there are placed on exhibition a million and three-quarters feet of film in the United States and Canada alone, to take no account of those copies sent abroad.
