Films: The Million Dollar Mystery, The Heart of California, His Father's Son, The Funny Mr. Dingle Comedy
Of note:
"The enterprising and patriotic citizens of Santa Cruz will celebrate the opening of the new municipal pier on Saturday, December 5th".
"There is four moving picture shows operating in town and they all appear to be doing a profitable business."
"The salaries of the motion picture actor have certainly increased in a very striking manner. There was a time when when were glad to get $5 a day or even $25 per week. Now many receive from $20 to $30 a day."
"It is imposible to get at the exact motion picture gross and net income figures for the United States. It is estimated, however, that there are film "releases" in this country every week By release is meant a film play let loose for exhibition. This piles up a weekly film literature of Negatives from each of which 30 to 80 positives are printed and sold. Each production has its own scale of price cost: its own particular expense of distribution. Hence the difficulty in hazarding a statement about returns."
