Failures Are-Plentiful Because
Managers Fail to Use
Proper Methods.
NO ROSE PATH TO FORTUNE
. i "
Paste Pot and anears has the fol
lowing to say regarding the reasons
why many theaters fail when they
could as well succeed:
"Because a motion picture show is
associated with gilded fronts, flaring
lithographs and piano music, it does
not necessarily afford an easy and
interesting pathway , to fortune.
Everywhere 'there is a desire to get
into the business; a desire for infor
mation about the cost of operation,
locations and methods. True, for
tunes have been made in the motion
Dicture theater exhthitino- business.
but these fortunes have not been
made because the business is "easy."
Nor have any of these theaters oper
ated themselves.
"There seems to be an impression
that a motion picture theater will
operate itself, once a location has
been decided upon and a man placed
in charge of a machine. These
theaters will close their doors. The
motion picture business is not all
rose-hued. Competition has become
keen, boing about it to make such
a business profitable is as prosaic
as though you were dealing in gro
ceries or dry goods. It is not sim
ply a matter of buying out a place
and then watching the dimes roll in.
To succeed, a motion picture theater
has to have capable, alert manage
ment. .
. "One manager may win where an
other has failed, because he takes the
trouble to learn what films please
his patrons and because he gives
these patrons 1 personal attention.
One manager may lose out because
he has a sober, unattractive front,
while the manager who succeeds him
may furnish just the glitter to ap
peal to the pleasure teeker.
