Robert L. Lippert (March 31, 1909 – November 10, 1976) was a prolific film producer and cinema owner who eventually owned a chain of 118 theatres.〔''Variety Obituaries'' November 24, 1976〕 ==Biography== Born in Alameda, California, and adopted by the owner of a hardware store, Robert Lippert became fascinated by the cinema at an early age. As a youngster he worked a variety of jobs in local theaters, including projectionist and assistant manager. As a manager of a cinema during the Depression Lippert encouraged regular attendance with promotions such as "Dish Night" and "Book Night". Lippert went from cinema manager to owning a chain of cinemas in California in 1942, during the peak years of theatre attendance.〔http://mst3k.booyaka.com/episodes/directors/robert_lippert.txt〕 Lippert's theatres in Los Angeles often screened older films for a continuous 24 hours with an admission price of 25 cents. Not only did his theatres attract shift workers and late-night revellers, but servicemen on leave who could not find cheap accommodation would sleep in the cinema. 〔p. 110 ''Maury Dexter Interview'' by Tom Weaver '' I Talked with a Zombie: Interviews with 23 Veterans of Horror and Sci-Fi'' McFarland〕 Lippert died on November 16, 1976, and his cremated remains were interred at the Woodlawn Memorial Park in Colma, California. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert L.
