Th'e Hunt's Theatres, Ince* expect to have completed and . ready for operation their magnificient new Plaza . Theatre for the season 1922. f * The most important feature of i - Wildwood is ' our amusement field. ^ Motion Picture Theatres (under the! able management of Mr. H. C. Hunt) j is a branch Of this field- So important an improvement on oifr beach front will be popular with the ever increasing number of summer visitors. This means increased business and increased realty values, thanks ' to our men of-Vision. | At a recent interview, Mr. Hunt': said, "i have great faith in the FU- . TURE OF WILDWOOD. We all ' have our individual parts to perform. Wildwood is (u> luK'e a new modern motion picture theatre that will compare with the best on the Jersey coast." The Motion Picture industry is on ' the threshold of a new era; boom ^ days have passed and in their stead ^ has come the dawning of a period ot ( real business methods and business | , efficiency which is beginning to , stabilize picture production and- ex- j" hil>ition and claim the serious inter- j' - est and aid of bankers, financ'ers and ' investors, which will enable the in- 1 •dustry to attain its maximum possi- • Bilities. John . 'E. Barber, of the First i National Bank, of Los Angeles, after , ' a careful and, thorough inquiry '"from . a conservative banker's standpoint, ' 1 in an able analysis of the picture in- j dustry, written for the Bankers'!. Monthly, in the November issue un- ' . der the caption "Financing Motion 1 Pictures on Reasonable Terms," says 1 unfamiliarty of bankers with ,the great and growing picture industry t is one of the chief obstacles in, the t reduction of costs of film production 1 and heeded readjustments between- : the exchange and the theatre. Many facts and figures of produc- J tion and distribution hitherto un- , . known Jo many persons are made t public by' Mr. Barber, .who" says: "The chitiT'ob.-fr-cle -today to the. tc- c ■» ductlon "in the cost ot n;xnr.g p:c- c titles r.: d the successfulVyeadjustment f of- thisxhuge entertainmeritvinclusYry is the difficulty of obtaining financial accommodation oir reasonable tefms. t It is easy to see- why the cost of f money fs one of the chief items in f motldn picture production: also why c the elimination of this condition must r ■ precede lower costs and 'consequently i lower admission prices. In- fact,' the- \ ' provision of an adequate financial o structure under which the financial o assistance to which this business is e entitled may be obtained at a fair cost is essential to the establishment s of the industry on a sound and com- j, petitive basis- 0 Let us consider the motion picture o ■industry from a banking standpoint, t . comparing it ' in size, stability and » risk "with other industries, such as ( , automobile, clothing, irdn and steel-' c Size: Based on thebrecords of the *1 Commissioner of Internal Revenue, t the American . people paid in' at mo- c tion picture box offices last year, t •' J750, 000, 000, or over $2,000,000 -a day. t Preliminary figures of" the 1919 I census indicate a total investment of s nearly 3500, (300,000 in the production a ., of pictures — in real estate,' studios, t . ' electrical equipment, wardrobes, etc. v - . Apprpximately 20,000 people are I , steadily employed in the making of q motion pictures alone. The produc- r era' valuation of the cost of their t > output in 1920 was- over $200,000,000. c Of this sum $50,000,000 was paid- out a

1 in salaries aiul wages alone: The' In- • vestment in theatres, distributing 1 facilities, etc., is estimated at over SI. 000,0, CO, 000- Export's of film were ^ valued at more than 5*2,000,000 in • 1920. 'J Stability: .The motion picture inI dustry is firmily , grounded on the J. broad demand of the public for entertainment at a modern price. Mo- . tion, pictu reS hpve reached their greatest development in' the United ' States and are most popular form of entertainment. Even" under . | present conditions the gfross receipts have fallen off only 25 per cent., I which compares most favorably with the situation in many other indus- | tries, like the automobile, cotton, wool, copper, etc., and in the very rrear future will be back to normalMarket and 'Product: Motion pic- ' ture films command not only a | national but an international mar- ! since American films are exported to practically every couiitry on the globe. There are over 1(5,000 motion picture theatres in the United States and a like amount in the rest of the world. Theatres in this j I country have a combined seating ca- | parity of more than 5,400,000, whicn : on the average is filled several times I daily. rMr. Bqrber says that the financing , I of film production and motion pic- | ' ture syndicates has usually' been done J a haphazard, tot to say irregular manner and that no real opportunity , j has e\er been afforded the industry | rand the investing public for. developing a system suitable to its peculiar ■ needs -until within very -recent years. Several years aj*o I foresaw a wonderful future for the motion picindustry, with its thousands of ' beautiful theatres: • some of, greater • architectural beauty than 'was ever attempted for gsand opera, or the drama. I began then to lay the foundation for Hunfs Theatres, Inc. Most of my friends recall my earlier struggles witly a small theatre of!, only 80 seats. Today we have a ! ( chain of 14 theatres with a combined seating capacity of nearly 10,000, doing a highly profitable business. Before asking the public to invest . their money with us and share in the : profits of this growing enterprise,; we , first demonstrated with our own monthat wc have a safe, sound and j.] profitable business that, if conducted ; ( a careful and businesslike manner, ■ ( . we can pay substantial dividends to j , our stockholders, thereby sharing I profits with those who have plac- , , ed their confidence in lit. ,j I now hpve the honor of having,! of Wildwood's most successful I business men associated with me on |i board of directors. These men].! of vision will shape the future des- 1 ' tiny of Hunt's Theatres, Inc. We I want at least'- 1,000 eo-partnere I ; here in -Cape May county -to invest and share in the profits of this great co-operative en- ' We could not build, our | upon a more solid. founda- j tion. 'This financing program has I placed in charge of Mr. W. Li 1 .Porter, assisted by Mr. Charles Kin- 1 sell, Mr. Harry p Russell, Mr. Frank ■ and .Paul Albus, sales representa- j tives. A limited amount of stock ' will be offered at $10.00 per shqjre. * are paid to stockholders ' quarterly, from earnings of' theatres , in operation. Additional theatres will be erected atid pur- 1 chased as additional capital becomes available, consistent with good busi- ]
