Views and Film Index (1908)

6 THE FILM INDEX story passes, and the chief strength of the film lies in its wealth of views of the race track, — paddocks, grandstand, field, jumping event, bet¬ ting ring, etc. The actors in it do very well, and the final scene is good and realistic. The grandeur of the track is such a vivid contrast to the poor looking mortgaged home that is being auctioned off, that the spectator gets a thrill from the sud¬ den change. Good film. CORRESPONDENCE. Traverse City, Mich., Dec. 7, 190S. The Films Publishing Co., New York City. Gentlemen: — In our editorial of December 5 regarding films, if you would publish more news of the sen¬ timents from the different picture shows concerning what class of films take the best with the people, we would have far more interesting sub¬ jects — the rental houses not know¬ ing what takes best with audiences. If we see we have a film that don’t please the majority we won’t run it any longer, as they go right' out and say “That show is no good to-day.” We have been here over two years now and we are trying to give the people what they want, if possible; but we must get films that take. Comic films seem to be the best, as people like to come in and laugh. You can see at once whether a film is good or not. You must study their faces if you want to make money. Have them go out with a smile and they will come again. We are not (finding, fault wiith any particular manufacturer, as they all have some good films as well as poor ones. Some companies put on titles that are almost foreign to the subject. Give us interesting films and we can make the picture business pay far better than now. We take THE FILM INDEX, but we would like to get the views from other picture shows in different places and we wish you would have a page in your paper devoted to same. Let’s have a chance now to be posted on both sides of the film-picture business. In regards to paying express charges both ways, it is not right for us to do so, as films would be returned quicker if the rental houses paid the express. It looks as though they get a rebate from the express company. Kindly bring this before the Film Service Association in January 9th meeting, and you will see it will do lots of good for al1 Yours truly, E. R. Newman, Star Electric Theatre. [Mr. Newman’s suggestion regard¬ ing an exchange of exhibitors’ opin¬ ions regarding the subjects that they run, meets with our approval. We extend the privilege of our columns to the exhibitors of the country. It should be of great service to the en¬ tire trade, for the exhibitor is the man Wbo is closest to that most im¬ portant force in [his bfisinesg— the public,— -Editor.] TRADE DIRECTORY.
