Movies Go Automatic
A number of a new type of very promis­
ing amusement machine have now been on
test locations in Chicago for several weeks,
and will soon be ready for national distribu­
tion. These machines are coin-operated
moving picture machines that operate for
a nickel. Just as the Nickelodeon made
history in its day, so here is the modern
movie adapted to a coin-operated machine
and is very promising in its testing period.
The machine is the development of the
Automatic Motion Picture Display Com­
pany of Chicago, and is the outgrowth of
an advertising motion picture machine
used by some of the largest corporations
in the country for several years for adver­
tising purposes. So the machine has an
interesting history back of it and is not
the product of an overnight dream. The
firm has at their disposal a large plant, and
just as soon as announcement is made to
the trade, they will be ready to fill orders
promptly.
The machine is housed in an attractive
wood cabinet built to convenient height for
an individual to view the picture tnrough
the aperture or opening provided for it.
The cabinet also has attractive advertising
sign to invite spectators. Upon the deposit
of a nickel, the picture starts and runs
in regular movie fashion for approximately
three minutes. The machine uses standard
16mm film and there is a wealth of film
subjects available from many sources, all
the way from rolloicking comedies to ultra
modern and risque bathing beauties.
The surprising thing about this machine
is that on locations it has stead.ly in­
creased in the money intake every week
over a long period, when many amuse­
ment machines tend to drop off in play
after two or three weeks. Experienced
coin machine men who have seen it and
observed its earnings regard it as one of
the most unusual machines yet developed.
It is a high class machine of course, and
suited to the best types of locations, such
as hotels, arcades, clubs, etc. 1
