Small business on two-day run. Advertised big. — W. E. Craig, Craig theatre, Rayne, La. — General patronage. Human Wreckage, with Mrs. Wallace Reid. — Did a good two days' business. Many Pronounced Sith-i-REE-aah CYTHEREA Thy Name Is Love good comments. — H. A. Felps, Comet theatre, Shelton, Neb. — General patronage. Human Wreckage, with Mrs. Wallace Reid. — This picture is one of the best of its kind we have ever shown, still we did not do the business that we thought we would do. It seems that it is impossible to get them out any more, no matter what kind of pictures we show. I advise every exhibitor to run this picture. Admission fifteen and thirty-five cents. Eight reels. — C. W. Glass, Star theatre, Trenton, Tenn. — Neighborhood patronage. Human Wreckage, with Mrs. Wallace Reid. — Ran this two days to a loss. Nothing to this. Where it gets its greatness I can't see, and where do they get the high price production out of it? No settings, no plot, just four actors. No expense in making it more than the cheapest feature, yet they hold you up on rental. I was promised a good print by the exchange but got a rotten one. — A. R. Bird, Opera House, Arlington, Iowa. — General patronage. Captain Ply-by-Night, with Johnnie Walker. — Went over good here. Some exhibitors mentioned it being a Catholic picture. We have a lot of Catholics here who never come to shows. We wrote each family a letter quoting them a price of twentyfive cents for the family except the grownups and they could bring a girl for that price. And, believe me or not, but everyone of them came. We mentioned it as a splendid Catholic picture and that the offer was made to Catholics only. We had a full house but not much money, and they enjoyed it very much because they had not seen a picture for years, some of them, and maybe never will again. Five reels. — Dinsmore & Son, Majestic theatre, Weiner, Ark. — Neighborhood patronage. Captain Fly-by-Night, with Johnnie Walker. — Seemed to please them all. No big crowd, but no fault of picture. Six reels. — D. A. White, Cozy theatre, Checotah, Okla. — General patronage. Thelma, with Jane Novak. — Comments divided on this one, some liked it fine. It was spoiled for me by the dim sub-titles. Strained my eyes trying to read them. Drew well and pleased fairly well. Six reels. — C. E. Hopkins, The Hopkins theatre, Cotter, Ark. — Small town patronage. Thelma, with Jane Novak. — Another good picture that pleased all who saw it. Has a good moral to it, but owing to church revival attendance was very small. — Chas. E. Barber, Electric theatre, Tilden, 111. — General patronage. My Dad, with Johnnie Walker. — I think that this was a fairly good Northern picture. Walker usually draws a crowd for us. Would rather play average pictures than a special one week and junk the next. Six reels. — Paul B. Hoffman, Legion theatre, Holyrood, Kan. — Small town patronage. Crashin' Through, with Harry Carey. — A dandy Western. Best Carey I have had. If your patrons like Westerns with action get this one. Six reels. — J. W. Andresen, Rialto theatre, Cozad, Neb. — General patronage. Crashin' Through, with Harry Carey. — A dandy program picture. Film was in good condition. This will please the average audience. — Paul B. Hoffman, Legion theatre, Holyrood, Kan. — Small town patronage. A Man's Man, with a special cast. — Just another picture. Only fair.— Welty & Son, Mid-Way theatre, Hill City, Kan. — General patronage. The Hound of the Baskervilles, with a special cast. — This one is sure the "flea's mustache." Couldn't figure out what it was all about. Pleased about nothing per cent. Poorest picture I ever saw. Five reels. Business good. — W. A. Clark Jr., Castle theatre, Havana, 111. — General patronage. White Hands, with a special cast. — An awful weak picture. No comments. — Welty & Son, Mid-Way theatre, Hill City, Kan. — General patronage. First National When a Man's a Man, with John Bowers. — One of the best Western pictures made since "The Covered Wagon." It has a great story. The women like this picture as
