Penrod and Sam, with Ben Alexander. — Really this went over big to large business. Young and old satisfied. Comedy and pathos abound in this real boy life picture. Good and clean. Film in good shape. All our patrons said it had "Penrod" with Wesley Barry put in the discard. Six reels. — Giacoma Bros., Crystal theatre. Tombstone, Ariz.— General patronage. The Girl of the Golden West, with a special cast. — Very good picture that pleased most everyone. The story is good and the cast very good. Russell Simpson the real star in this. Seven reels. — Crosby Bros., Lily theatre, Buffalo. X. Y. — Neighborhood patronage. The Bright Shawl, with Richard Barthel ■lllllllli mess.— This is one of Dick's best pictures and pleased all who saw it, but the weather was bad and we did an unusually small business for a picture of this class.

Anna Christie, with Blanche Sweet. — Wonderful picture and good acting, but it didn't draw for me. Eight reels. — J. G. Catlow, Auditorium theatre, Barrington, Hi. — General patronage. The Bad Man, with Holbrook Blinn.— This is a dandy entertainment. The first time we have shown this star and he made a hit with his clever speeches, and acting pleased 100 per cent. — A. F. Jenkins, Com LAUGH AND THE WORLD LAUGHS WITH YOU VOTE FOR LAUGHTER! IT wouldn't be modest, dear Exhibitors, to ask you to vote for me in the Favorite Star Contest. But since I am always involved in mirth quakes, you could vote for laughter. This is a Presidential year and leap year so we don't want to be too serious. Laughter is good for all the aches and ills human flesh is heir to. I have associated with laughter 8 years and it's good company. May it be popular in this contest. Vote for Laughter! munity theatre, David City, Neb. — General patronage. The Wanters, with a special cast. — Very shallow', both as entertainment and box office. Worth about 3 to be used one night, Saturday, or with a serial. Seven reels. — 1 R. G. Jordan, Hinsdale theatre, Hinsdale, 111. TrUby, with Andree Lafayette. — A lemon from every angle. People were disgusted and some walked out. Others asked if she died or went to sleep. We told them she died. Couldn't help it after acting in such a picture. This is the kind that hurts your house, boys; lay off. — A. F. Jenkins, Community theatre, David City, Neb. — General patronage. Potash and Perlmutter, with a special cast. — Should be a winner for everyone. Good clean comedy. Had a good house and many, many complimentary remarks on this picture.

Boy of Mine, with a special cast. — A peach of a family picture. Not a kick out of the whole crowd. More like 'em. Seven reels. — J. G. Catlow, Auditorium theatre, Barrington, 111. — General patronage. White Shoulders, with Katherine MacDonald. — I would class this as a dandy program picture. In fact, it is one of Kate's good ones'. Six reels. — Wm. E. Tragsdorf, Trags theatre, Neillsville, Wis. — Small town patronage. Kindred of the Dust, with Ralph Graves. —An excellent picture.

P. theatre, Pittsfield, 111. — General patronage. A Question of Honor, with Anita Stewart. — A good program picture, but nothing more. This is the best Miss Stewart has given us for some time.
