THREE REELS FOR 5 CENTS, OR NOT? A spirited fight is now going on between the exhibitors of San Francisco and the exchanges over the question whether the latter have any right to limit the number of reels that an exhibitor may show on a program for a given admission price. The agreement between three of the California exchanges to limit all five-cent picture houses to three reels a day, raised a violent protest from every exhibitor concerned, particularly from the larger nickel houses, where double that number of reels has been the rule. They charge discrimination against them in favor of the smaller men, and have already placed their interests in the hands of an attorney. This means a court suit, unless the exchanges retrench, and probably with the charge of a mutual agreement in restraint of trade as the basis R. E. Stebbins, assistant manager of the Pacific Mutual Film Corporation, and David Bershon, of the California Film Exchange, deny the existence of any such agreement. They declare that the exhibitors' association had agreed to three films a day for the nickel houses themselves. STRIKE HITS EIGHT THEATRES Springfield, 111., March 19. Eight theatres in this city have been boycotted by the Springfield Federation of Labor, acting for the Stage Employees' Union. It is alleged that the strike has been called because a number of operators were discharged by these theatres for attempting to organize. The theatres affected are the Amuse-U, Grand, Savoy, Lyric, Capital, Casino, Vaudette, and the Gaiety. The Royal, Majestic, Chatterton and Empire weje not molested. WARNING TO EXHIBITORS Warning is issued by the Newman Manufacturing Company against Edw H. Beziah, who, they allege, has used their name to defraud a number of exhibitors by borrowing money. Mr. Beziah, it is claimed, at one time worked for the company as a commission salesman. The company further say they will assume no responsibility for his acts. FILM "HOME SWEET HOME" "Home, Sweet Home," John Howard Paine's immortal song, is to be picturized by an all-star cast. Harry E. Aitken, president of the Mutual Film Corporation of this city, conceived the idea and it is nearing fruition under the direction of D. W. Griffith.
