ANYTHING IN PHOTOGRAPHY LITTLE "The Big Photographer" Phone 437-902 5874 Hollywood Blvd. HOLLYWOOD, CAL. The Movie Gamble (Continued from page 44) constable went to sleep in the middle of the third reel. I know now that these mob pictures are snapped on Sunday nights, when a house could hang out the S. R. O. sign for The Great Train Robbery. Broadway Runs No Criterion B> 'ecause a picture has a Broadway run, I no longer pay out my good shekels to book it. Not since somebody tipped me off that sometimes the normal run of a big picture in a Broadway house is extended beyond its natural time, just to bring a higher price from the small exhibitor. Passion had a long run on Broadway, but I had to put on a "Special Family Night," letting the whole family in for twenty cents, to fill the house. As no race suicide is prevalent in our town and as most families consider five children only a fair start, you can figure out that I didn't buy an automobile with my profits on that picture. Religion Is Ticklish Matter T J. ¥ HE EXHIBITOR has to look OUt for so many things in a picture. Take religion, now. Once I booked a picture called The Rosary. I knew the book had been immensely popular and that the song was known everywhere, so I prepared to clean up on the film. But oh mama, what an awful flop! It was a Catholic picture, you see, and all the Protestants took it as Catholic propaganda and the Catholics didn't like it either. My patrons walked out disgusted. The first day I took in $123.50 and the second day, after word had got around, only $9.40. I suppose I'll never dare to run The Pilgrim, Charlie Chaplin's new picture. I hear it's a scream, but in the small town we have to keep in with the church people. And I don't know why, but people seem to lose their sense of humor as soon as church affairs are mentioned. Two Sure-Fire Bets T here are only two stars that I would buy blind-folded. They are Harold Lloyd and Rodolph Valentino.
