SOMETHING ABOUT METHOD IN EX-
;
HIBITING SERIAL PICTURES
AT
}
TH< MOVIES.
‘
The present
system
of
the
Christian-
sted
Theatre of exnibiting serial
pictures
}
as portions of variety programmes
where-
|
fore only a very limited number
of parts
|
of
such
serials
e¢an
be
presented
each
|
night
thereby
extending
the
course of
|
same
over
severa!
weeks
during
which
patrons
are either oblized
to at.enu
regu-
larly
or
icse the thread
of the story,
is
a
matter
which is beine commenied
on and
calls
ror guention
from
the management.
It
is
popularly
agreed
that
it would be
far
more praerieal
and
suitable
to
snow
complete
programmes
of
serials
without
any othe:
nixea piciures being shown on
the
same
nighis,
and
the
comic
wilh
which
the shows
now terminate
are
con-
sidered unnecessary.
and better
replaced
by additional
parts of the
serials.
As
it
is,
one
seems
to be guing
to a seiiai
evel-
lastingly,
and
each
night
seeing
oniy
enougn
o irritate rather
than
interest.
As it is believed
that th-
management
1s
interested
in
so arranginy
the shows
that
all parrons
are sa‘isfied,
it is
heped
hat
these
suggestions
will be adopted
ano e
exhibitions run
on similar
lines
10
those
in
St.
Thomas.
It
is
sure
to
ptove
of
niutual advantage
in the iong run.—Com.
