Panic seems to be on. A holiday last week with most
of picture houses not even charging extra tarfiff, and
still trade was none too brisk. Army of unemployed appears
to grow each week, and the railroads are bringing
in 30 per cent. less tourists than last year.
Grauman‘s Chinese and Biltmore about the only houses not
feeling the off trade. Biltmore, though light afternoons,
is doing first rate at night with „Wings,“ while „The Circus,“
at the Chinese, gives evidence of going at least
20 weeks. (...)
