Still Terrific

Box-office grosses for the last couple of months were about 8% higher than a year ago. This did not necessarily mean that more people were going to the movies. Admission prices had also gone up about 8% (from an average 42 1/2-c- to 46-c-). But, said the trade sheet Variety: "Biz remains terrific, no matter how you look at it. . . ."

The most terrific box-office draws:

1) Notorious (RKO Radio)

2) The Big Sleep (Warner) and Cloak and Dagger (Warner)

3) No Leave, No Love (MGM) and Three Little Girls in Blue (20th Century-Fox)

4) Monsieur Beaucaire (Paramount).
