Views and Film Index (1908)

THE FILM INDEX Green Bay, Wis., is to have its nickelodeon. The Green Bay Electric Theatre will soon give its first show. The theatre is located in the Wagner building on West Walnut street, and is under the management of F. A. Stark, of New London. The bill will consist of moving pictures and illus¬ trated songs. At present no mati¬ nees will be given, but the evening bill will be changed three times a week. The building has been thor¬ oughly remodeled. For the first time in the theatri¬ cal history of Wilmington, Del., the Grand Opera House, the largest play¬ house in the city, is playing moving pictures during a regular season. Following a succession of poor busi¬ ness, especially with melodramas, the management decided to present a form of entertainment at cheaper prices. The innovation went into ef¬ fect on Thursday night, and it con¬ tinues for a fortnight or more unin¬ terruptedly, with the exception of Monday night, when Andrew Mack will be on the boards. It has not yet developed what effect this will have on the presentation of shows of the higher class throughout the season. It is evident, however, that pictures will, in a measure at least, supplant the usual melodramas. The latter class of entertainment may have one-night stands, but a stay of three days, as was started with the open¬ ing of the season, is unlikely. The validity of the ordinance pro¬ viding that an application for a li¬ cense to conduct a nickelodeon in ’Frisco must have the sanction of the Police Commissioners is to be tested by Attorney Lincoln E. Savage, who applied to the Superior Court for a a writ of mandate to compel TaxCollector David Bush to issue to E. Fried a license to open his moving picture show at Stockton and Green streets. Fried ran his show one day on a permit of the Chief of Police, but was not allowed to run longer because of the complaints of the members of a church in the vicinity. C. L. S. Raby has sold “It,” the well-known moving picture place on the public square or waynesooru, Pa., to Chas. R. P. Brown, Balti¬ more, who took possession of it. Mr. Brown will retain the old force of as¬ sistants, including the popular Chas. Shively, ticket seller, and manager in the owner’s absence. Mr. Raby has given the people of Waynesboro a very good moving picture show, his films always being the latest put on the market and his place always be¬ ing conducted in a courteous and business-like manner. He made many friends here. Mr. Brown promises to continue the high standard set by Mr. Raby. TRAD LICENSED FILM MANUFAC¬ TURERS. Edison Mfg.
