Description

The first question for our consideration on the appeal is whether the evidence sustains the judgment. This evidence may be stated as follows: Defendant owns and operates a moving picture theatre in Bisbee, Arizona. On February 11, 1939, plaintiff, who was at the time about seven years of age, accompanied his older brother Donald to the theatre. They entered the building while the lights were turned up in the manner usual for movie theatres before the showing of pictures begins. The seats on the floor of the theatre were divided into three sections, separated by aisles running from the entrance towards the stage. The boys sat down somewhere in the middle section some half dozen rows from the front. About five minutes later the picture was thrown on the screen and the house lights were dimmed in the usual manner. After about ten minutes one of the ushers requested the boys to move further up in front. They went out into the right-hand aisle, passed sown it to the front of the theatre, walked across and turned up the left-hand aisle. No usher accompanied them. Somewhere between the first and third row of seats plaintiff, who was walking a short distance ahead of his brother, fell and broke his arm, and it is for this injury, which was somewhat serious in its nature, he recovered damages.
