A LIST OF SINGLE REELS AVAILABLE THROUGH GENERAL FILM SERVICE WILL BE FOUND ON ANOTHER PAGE OF THIS ISSUE. THIS SOUNDS ALMOST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE On May 10th, our Dallas office received notice from an exhibitor in Pecos, Texas, to discontinue service. He stated as his excuse for giving up General Film Service that his patrons were "clamoring for new faces and new actors." We discontinued his service, with regret, of course. On May 14th he wired our office as follows: "My patrons don't like stuff. Ship me show at once and continue shipping every day." The only part of this transaction we cannot understand is the ability of the exhibitor to get along without General Film Service for even so short a period as four days!
