ABSTRACT
Attendance at the cinema has been the subject of two recent inquiries, one by the Government Social Survey relating to March-October, 1946, one by Research Services commissioned by Hulton Publications Ltd., relating to January-May, 1947. Each was made by similar methods-of questioning individuals chosen, so far as possible, as a random sample of the population. The Research Services Survey does not cover children under 16 at all and the age groupings of the others are different, e.g., the Research Services Survey has a group of ages 16 to 24 inclusive, while the Government Social Survey divides into 16-19 inclusive and 20-29 inclusive.
