Cinemas in Britain and U.S.
TN Hie United States there are some 20,000 cinemas, many of them built during the boom period. Thousands are now “dark,” despite all manner of feverish experiments, such ns‘ desperate price-cutting, offering two seats for the price of one, and giving away anything from “fan” magazines to ham sandwiches.
In the United. Kingdom there are some 4800 cinemas, and new “supers” are going up almost every week. There are already some 600 in Greater London alone, and -over 100 in Glasgow. Everyhere the number of houses is increasing faster than the population, and without any compensatory growth in the habit of film-going.
