Summary

(To the Editor, S. C. M. Post) Take, for example, the remarks of 'New Arrival,' this morning, that it is possible to purchase a ticket in the first-class seats of an English Picture Theatre, for 1s. 6d., while in Hongkong $1.50 is charged; and yet this gentleman does not stop to consider for one moment that the cost of living in England is at least one half of what it is in Hongkong, and therefore I do not see any reason why Mr. Ray and his other confederates in the Motion Picture business should not be just as entitled in making the same percentage of profit as the other commercial houses in this city.
