This Amount Spent Yearly by I
the People of the City
of Washington.
GROWTH IS MARVELOUS
First Motion Picture Theater in Gity
Received License to Do Busi
ness October 29. 1907.
The people of "Washington spend
more than S2,000,000 a year to see the
movies.
This fact Is almost inconceivable to
residents who remember that eight
years ago not a cent was being spent
In this city for the picture play.
The first motion picture theater In
this city aid not receive a license to
open Its doors to the public until Oc
tober 23, 1907. From that day until
present the motion picture business
here has had a mushroom growth that
has exceeded even the wildest dreams
of the men who first "took a chance'
by Investing money.
It is estimated that there are about
70,000 paid admissions to motion pic
ture houses each day now and the lead
ing motion picture promoters of the
city calmly aver that "the business
has just begun Its real, normal and
substantial growth." These men pre
dict that the motion picture will make
just as much progress In the next
eight years as in the last eight.
The promoters point out that while
there is a dally average of about 70,
000 paid admissions these admissions
average only about 7H cents each.
Some houses charge 10 cents admis
sion. The majority charge 6 cents.
There is one house, the Columbia The
ater, charging 10 and 20-cent admis
sions. The promoters look to the day
when the average admission charge
will be 25 cents. "Then the business
will begin its real growth," they say.
In the latter part of October, 1907.
Thomas Armat opened the National
Capital's first motion picture play
house. It was not much of a theater.
In reality it was not a theater but
an ordinary storeroom, crudely remod
eled to meet the actual needs of pic
ture projection. Armat rented the
ground floor space of the building at
Tenth and D streets northwest that
had been occupied as a newspaper of
fice He plastered the exterior with
signs, had a "barker" at the door and
charged 5 cents admission.
The pictures were of the "funny"
variety, without plot or seriousness,
and designed chiefly to show the
tricks that could be done with the

Dr. Charles H. Marshall was born in
Amissville, Va in 1S63. He is a gradu
ate of normal and academic depart
ments of the -Wajland Seminary and
the Virginia Union L'niersity, of
Richmond, Va He reccned his degree
of doctor of medicine from the medical
department of the Howard University,
and has been actnelj engaged in the
practice of his profession in this city
for the past tucnt-threc cars He
has been engaged for secral cars in
special work at the Frccdmcn's Hos
pital, and during that period has been
a member of the staff, and fills the!
position of clinical assistant in gyne
colog He is former president and at
present one of the censors of the Med-ico-Chirugical
Societj of the District of
Columbia. He scned three jcars as a
member of the cecutie committee of
the National Medical Association; not
being a candidate for re-election, his
term expired on September I, 1912.
He is also a member of the International
Tuberculosis Congress and president of
the Medical. Dental, and Pharmaceu
tica1 Alumni Association of the How
ard University. Dr. Marshall was a
member of the Board of Education
from 1912 to 1915. and was without
question tery conscientious in all that
he did while a member of the board.
In religion Dr. Marshall is a ery ac
tie worker of the Nineteenth Street
Baptist Church, and is a member of
the board of deacons. In connection
with his church he established a free
clinic for the benefit of the poor
of the church and of those living in
that vicinity. The doctor is keenly in
terested in the affairs of the city, and;
from its infancy has been a member of
the 1 oung Men s Protective League,
an organization that now has a very
large membership, is in splendid finan
cial condition, and is one of the most
potent forces for good work in this
city The Young Men's Christian As
sociation is another force for civic
righteousness to which the doctor has
given both moral and financial aid, and
he is now a member of the board of
management of the Twelfth Street
Branch of this association. He is a
very actie Republican, and was an al
ternate delegate to the National Repub
lican Convention from the District in
191 1, which was held in Chicago. His
training and temperament admirably fit
him for his profession, and to this he
attributes mainly his wonderful success.
He now resides with his wife and fam
ily at his home, 2710 P street north
west, this city. .
new motion picture invention. The
reels of film were 500 feet in lengtn
and for a time Armat showed only
one reel for 5 cents. When this reel
was shown the audience was expect
ed to vacate so that the show rpom
could be filled again.
Such was Washington's first picture
play "palace." Then Lew Simons step
ped Into history as the proprietor of
the city's second motion picture house
by opening a Fraall theater in D be
tween Ninth and Tenth streets north'
west. He called the theater tn
Unique. He conducted the Unique for
nearly a year before openi "g the Pal
ace Theater.
From 1907 when the city boasted
two cinematograph theaters until the
present growth of the business may
be traced through the records of W.
II. Coombs, license clerk at the Mu
nicipal Building. It was Coombs win
Issued the first license to Armat.
In 190S Coombs licensed eight pic
ture houses. Ten were added In 1909.
In 1910 the motion picture theater
fever was at Its height and scores
of companies and individuals were
seeking to finance new "get-rlch-qulck"
schemes In that year seventy
four new theaters were licensed. But
failure greeted the majority of the
ventures because fools rushed in
where angels feared to tread and the
man with money found himself losing
while the man with experience va.
reaping large profits.
The municipal records show that n.
the fiscal year which ended June 30,
1911, seventy-four public halls and
twenty public parks were licensed. Th
public parks were the first motlor
picture parks, commonly known as
alrdomes. The seventy-four public halls
licensed were not all motion picture
houses because dance halls are In
cluded In the category of public halls.
In the fiscal year ended June ,30,
1912 there were seventy-one public
nails and twenty-seven public parks.
In the next fiscal year there were
sevem'y-three public halls and nine
teen public parks.
In the fiscal year which ended June
30, 1916, there were nlnety-foiTr pun
11c halls and twenty-three public
parks. Of the former, about ten were
dance halls and of the latter about
eight were dance parks. The forecolng
license figures are the best recoras
obtainable of the growth of the mo
tion picture business in the National
Capital.
The transition in the business be
tween 1907 and today has been noth
ing short of marvelous. There Is hard
ly any comparison between Armat's
first motion picture room and the big,
film play theaters throughout the city,
today. Even the Columbia Theater
one of the biggest in the city. Is being
used during the summer for the ex
hibition of high-class picture plays.
Fortunes have been made in the
business here as In all other large
cities and the big picture playhouses
like the Strand. Garden, Crandall's and
others In Ninth street northwest, the
Savoy in Fourteenth street northwest,
and the Apollo In the northeast stand
as monuments to the success of the
business.
In Mount Pleasant and Columbia
Heights the movie "fans" have come
to regard the Savoy Theater as a
"gold mine" for its owners. Here Is
how the "fans" estimates the wealth
that pours In at the ticket office:
"The Savoy seats about 1,000 per
sons in the open air park which ad
joins its winter playhouse. This park
is filled up about three times each
fair summer night. That means about
3,000 admissions at 10 cents each, or
total receipts of $300 a night. &
penses surely won't go much above J50
a night, leaving a net margin of profit
of $250 a night. There Is a net profit
of about $37,500 for the 150 warm
nights that tho park Is open."
Whether the figures approach the
exact statistics Is a question which
could be answered only by the man
agement of the park, but the figures
represent the golden stream that the
movie "fan" pictures to himself when
he pays his own dime and wonders
how many others are giving up a dime
to see the show.
Tom Moore Is credited with having
made more money In motion pictures
than any other man In Washington.
Whether that Is true can be surmised
only. It is said by some that Moore
has made a million. Others say hta
fortune will be less than half that
amount. At any rate Moore has been
one of the biggest factors In the busi
ness here.
Harry Crandall likewise Is regarded
as a motion picture genius by his fel
low exhibitors. Crandall Is the author
of some of the Innovations that have
greatly aided the business here and
his judgment is regarded as very val
uable. Crandall is one of the men who
believes that the motion picture bus!
ncss really Is only In Its Infancy.
"Why," says Crandall, "10 cents Is
pretty near the top price an exhib
itor can ask In Washington. That will
change, for the people here will learn
they have to pay more to get things
the way they want them. The Strand
Theater In New York charges 25 and
50 cents admission. The Vltagraph
Theater In New Tork charges from 25
cents to $1 admission. There Is a 25
and 50-cent picture theater In Phil
adelphia aja all big cities soon will
have them.
"The prediction of D. W. Griffith
that the day Is not far distant when
the people will be paying $5 to see
a motion picture may sound absurd
at first blush. But fivo years ago
man would have been called craxy It
he had said the public would pay $2
a seat to see a picture play In 191s.
That price has been paid to see Grif
fith's masterpiece. The Birth of a tin
tlon.' "It is a fact that I am today show.
ing at Crandall's Theater for a 10
cent admission the same pictures that
one must pay 25 or 50 cents to, see In
New York or Philadelphia. Washing
ton today gets the best In motion pic
tures, but the day may come when
the best will cost too much to produce
to, exhibit at 10 cents and then I am
sure the prices here will jump to 25
cents. Washington demands the best!"

Spoilage of Fruits, Berries and Vege
tables, Mounting to 40 Per Cent.
Sends Prices Soaring.
The present abundance of fresh veg
etable, and fruits brings with it the
perennial necessity for their rapid,
economical distribution and for en
couraging a generous and steady con
sumption, saya the Department of Ag
riculture in a atatement Just Issued.
The machinery for moving these food
products Is complex. Retail dealers
often are accused of not following
closely the wholesale market quota
tions, and it Is charged that in times
of glutted markets they do not cut
prices severely and aid in a rapid
movement from producer to consumer.
But the responsibility for slow and
uneconomic movement Into consump
tive channels is difficult to trace. The
large clan of food distributers known
as "middlemen" are often accused or
levying, arbitrarily, a heavy tribute
on all foodstuffs passing from the pro
ducer to the consumer.
The Department of Agriculture does
not Indict the "middlemen" as a class.
although It points out some of the
abuses Jn the trade. As a matter of
fact, say the department's specialists,
economic laws would not permit the
long-continued existence of a market
Ing agency which was solely a para'
site. .
Several Important factors have con'
trlbuted to the establishment of many
middlemen as necessary agents in the
present system of marketing. Produc
tion during the last decade has In
creased greatly, and Improved methods
and facilities for handling the Increase
have been Introduced. Keeping pace
with increased production has come
the demand of consumers for more
elaborate and efficient service.
Service la Luxury.
Seldom Is the fact considered that
service can become a very expensive lux
ury. With the widening of the distance
between the city and the source of the
fruit and vegetable supply there has
arisen the necessity for special agencies
to meet the changed conditions.
The present distributive machinery,
with all Its strong points and Us weak
nesses, has been created of necessity, and
It has weathered the storm of much ad
verso criticism. Every part of the coun
try Is now enjoying the. perishable pro
ducts of the most remote districts. Any
readjustment of present market prac-
eome agency must continue to perform
the functions of the present-day middle
man.
With the perishable nature of a large
part of the fruits and vegetables mar
keted there must be some loss. This oftenj
totals higher than the farmer realizes.
For Instance, according to the depart
ment's market specialists, the loss on
such comodltles as strawberries, peaches
and grapes sometimes amounts to 30 or
to per cent before they reach the hands
or the retail trade.
It Is always well to bear in mind the
really serious side of losses and wastes.
The spoiling of a dozen cantaloupes, a
basket of grapes or a crate of strawber
ries represents an absolute loss to the
community. No benefit accrues to pro
ducer, distributer or consumer from such
a condition. The loss occurring at this
point must be borne by both producer
and consumer, and In a great many cases
the distributer must bear his part of
the burden. The department's special
ists think In many cases losses and
wastes are entirely too heavy a tax on
food distribution and that the elimina
tion of unnecessary wastes would An
much toward effecting permanent, sub-'
stantial economies In marketing and dls
trlbutlng as any readjustment of present
marketing methods could do. The fact
that a large percentage of their losses
can be avoided by proper grading, pack
ing and shipping, together with prompt.
efficient handling while the goods are In
process of distribution, makes It Impera
tive that the subject be given special
consideration by those interested In the
efficient marketing of farm crops. .
