„The smaller house gets busy“
Editorial content. „Deception to Draw Money for the Moment
Poor Business Policy for Exhibitors
This is the third of a series of articles by W. A. Bach,
who is touring for Universal film exchanges
in principal cities inaugurating service bureaus. After
visiting Chicago Mr. Bach is now in Detroit.
I‘ve noticed a little trick resorted to in Chicago and also in
Detroit that to some exhibitors may spell ,showmanship,‘
but to the thinking, far-sighted man would indicate a business
suicide.
In Chicago, one house in the Loop is situated opposite
a new house of somewhat larger dimensions
than the former theatre. The new house is using new film
of early run and is advertising heavily.
The smaller house eagerly watches the bookings of its
bigger neighbor, and as soon as the advertising
appears, indicating that Chaplin, Hart, Pickford, or whoever
it may be, will be shown in their latest film play,
the smaller house gets busy.
Within a short time on the smaller theatre, a big flaring
sign will appear as follows for fictitious example:
Charles Chaplin,
star of
,The Immigrant,‘
will appear in
The Champion.
The big house will be showing The Immigrant, and the
little house an old release by the same man.“
