Theatre Manager Explains
City, Morehead Policies
By O. 1. MORROW
f lire teea asked, from time t
time, wfcy the Morehead end Citj
theatres play e picture for a weel
or mere, and why we do no
change pictures mere often. 1 cai
answer this question in a number
o I ways.
Firat of all, and the meet im
portant, there )<jat aren't enougl
pictures lo change more often
Also, |he film companies the
make curtain pictures specify ii
their contracts that the theatri
will play their picture a certaii
number of days and will charge i
certain price.
In other words, on some picture)
the film company becomes the
owner of the theatre and we be
come renters, getting a small per
rentage of money taken in at the
boxoffice.
Legal? Yes, as long as the
theatre chooses to play their pic
ture. we have to pay their price.
We either have to play every pic
tore that is made, or floae our
doors. During the year 1357 all
the film companies in Hollywood
made 110 new pictures. The More
head adn City theatres played 250
pictures.
Haw did we (lay more pictures
in 1957 than were made? By pre
senting pictures made by other
countries? England, France, Italy
and Japan. While these pictures
are very good in story content, and
acting ability, they lack the high
standards of morality that apply te
American-made movies.
But, things are looking brighter
for the future. More pictures are
In production, and on the planning
board, than ever before. More big
budget pictures will be coming out
this fall and winter.
More money ia being spent foi
stories, and production, than ever
in the history of Hollywood. You
will be seeing bigger and better
pictures from every company in
Hollywood.
Ooe advantage of playing foreign
made films? the American public
diacovers new talent. Such is the
case of Brigitte Bardot. Her first
film was made in France, and the
dialogue was spoken In French.
However the language became no
