Neighborhood exhibitors with bargain prices up to 6:30 p.m. are getting the . bulk of thfeir evening patronage prior to that hour .'and i:6ducirig^ rather tban al.ding their own grosses. . This is lhie . opinion of observers he;re ; who note the ^ rising tendency of the. liabes to cut prices by a dozen sidestfeppirig artifices so that tliey keep their cake and eat it, too. In .other words, they retain, the. release, rating ad- vantages of a 30c scale, but actually only charge 20e., etc,. Ch^ap prices extiended to the;, threshold of evening' merely en- courages fllriigoors to be. early birds. It doesn't make any *iew. custOnrers. Those that: Intended to come any- way simply arrive earlier and' pay l^ss.- Thatls. the story nOw told. . Facing Both Ways One theatre gives a metal tolcen with every ticket Which is redeem- able iiiside' the lobby fOr candy, cigarettes, or, when accumulated, more costly pr.eiiiiume. pOr ■practical; purposes this is a cash re-, bate on the price of thie ticket; An- other theatre is; i-eported considerr ing^ but hai3. not " ^pted ah even more raidical nd candid espousal of the rebate Systemii Their stunt will be to .present each incoming patron with .a bright new shiny dime. As the ijiyblic pays ■the flxed-'adMissio'nv--iand-a transferred after ihe ticket-taker, has collected;- the house-believes--it can . pa,Ss this off simply as a! com- plimentary gift, from the manager to his customers. Actually, of course, it's Just another device .to ' cheapen iadmlssions while maintain ing the same week of release. .. Competition d,mong the nabes is keen. Stage talent is used to a; wider extent than for several yiears; week-end vaudeville or 'radio acts* as they seem to prefer, to call them in many spots. However,'prices for talent ate lower than ever and managers are still flirting with ^spe-. cial nights,' giveaways, somethlng- for-nothlng inducements. These, are. rapidly restoring the cut-throat tactics that were at their helgiit' several years ago, but seemod to subside a bit last October when double features were drop>ped. - Big circuits led.abOut two months iago in eliminating price mention from advertisemehts on the ground? the public •was being made 'price conscious.' Obyioiisly the rebate .stunt in whatever fc - -i it may boh up is the last word in this very thing.
