January 12, 1918. MOTOGRAPHY 30 of a Lyceum course number. Story has the present war as a background." — George H. Done, Gayety Theater, Payson, Utah. Triangle Single Reel Comedies (Triangle) — "Very ordinary. In many instances we take them off after the first run. Triangle can do better work than these show." — Leo Peterson, Iris Theater, Belle Fourche, S. D. The Ten of Diamonds, with Dorothy Dalton (Triangle)—"Star good in this line of work. Story good but the titles and readers are rather risque. Not advisable for a Sunday show." — Leo Peterson, Iris Theater, Belle Fourche, S. D. Idolators, with Louise Glaum (Triangle) — "A somewhat over-done 'vamp' story. The public is tired of this kind of pipe dream. A good picture, however, of this type." — Leo Peterson, Iris Theater, Belle Fourche, S. D. The Little Reformer, with Bessie Love (Triangle) — "The usual type of story for this star. Some very good character work and small town stuff is pictured. A good picture of this type." — Leo Peterson, Iris Theater, Belle Fourche, S. D. Mountain Dew, with Margery Wilson (Triangle) ■ — "A 'good offering of the 'moonshine' type. Beautiful scenery helps put it over." — Leo Peterson, Iris Theater, Belle Fourche, S. D. Flying Colors, with William Desmond (Triangle) — "A good picture but somewhat melodramatic, which to the seasoned movie fan will detract from the merits of the picture." — Leo Peterson, Iris Theater, Belle Fourche, S. D. The Flame of the Yukon, with Dorothy Dalton (Triangle) — "Played it two days in the worst kind of weather at advanced prices. The best picture of this type made. True in every way to that country and that time." — Leo Peterson, Iris Theater, Belle Fourche, S. D. The Devil Dodger, with Roy Stewart (Triangle) — "This picture did not please. Too close to The Flame of the Yukon. We have been overbooked with this western bar-room and dance-hall type." — Leo Peterson, Iris Theater, Belle Fourche, S. D. Broadway, Arizona, with Olive Thomas (Triangle)— "A good picture." — Leo Peterson, Iris Theater, Belle Fourche, S. D. The Iron Strain, with Dustin Farnum (Triangle) — "Six reels. New print. A good picture. Enid Markey and Louise Glaum are in the supporting cast in this first drama which Triangle made." — Charles H. Ryan, Garfield Theater, Chicago. — In middle class neighborhood.

Madcap Madge, with Olive Thomas (Triangle) — "An exceptionally good picture. Our audience spoke well of this new little star. She can't be beat.

Don't be afraid to advertise this for the star is great." — Mrs. George Volk, Kensington Theater, Buffalo, N. Y. The Millionaire Vagrant, with Charles Ray (Triangle)— "A very good picture with many unexpected twists in the story, and plenty of punch and action.

The Paws of the Bear, with William Desmond (Triangle) — "A very good production. This star does great work. He holds your interest from start to finish. This is a good box-office picture. The Triangle program can always be depended upon to give you an average run of good pictures." — Mrs. George Volk, Kensington Theater, Buffalo, N. Y. The Man Hater, with Bessie Barriscale (Triangle) — "This is sure some picture. Miss Bessie can't be beat. This pleased all classes of people. The acting is very good. Patrons like this kind of picture, with lots of laughs and very interesting from start to finish." — Mrs. George Volk, Kensington Theater, Buffalo, N. Y. The Maternal Instinct, with Enid Bennett (Triangle)— "A wonderful picture. You will have no complaints on this one. The star is fine and went over big."Mrs. George Volk, Kensington Theater, Buffalo, N. M. VITAGRAPH A Prince in a Pawn-shop, with Barney Barnard (Vitagraph)— "Splendid drama. Everyone well pleased. Especially appeals to Jewish people." — Faul and Overton, Lyric Theater, Winchester, 111. Dead-shot Baker, with William Duncan (Vitagraph) — "This would have been a good picture a few years ago but is a poor one now. One reason why it did not go here is that this town knows what the west is." — Leo Peterson, Iris Theater, Belle Fourche, S. D. Soldiers of Chance, with Evart Overton (Vitagraph) — "The poorest picture I have used in months. Vitagraph must have made this years ago and slipped it in when no one was looking. Story poor, and inconsistent. Acting poor. Not up to Vitagraph standard. "—Leo Peterson, Iris Theater, Belle Fourche, S. D. The Second Mrs. Tanqueray (Vitagraph) — "No doubt this was a stage success in England but it makes an ordinary picture." — Leo Peterson, Iris Theater, Belle Fourche, S. D.
