The Sultan of Turkey once remarked that it was known to all grown men that one of two horses could always run faster than the other — so why all the excitement about horse races? The same is true of News Reels. There can be but one "best." There always is one "best." One that gives your theatre more scoops and more beats and more subjects in the course of a week than any other Service. Once you know which News Service this is, there is no longer need for argument. Competition, so far as you are concerned, is deader than the Sultan of Turkey's horse-race. Here are the facts as to the BIG THREE : In Only 8 Months, SIScoopi Between May 1st. and December 1st 1919, a period of eight months, the Big Three the Service that gives you the cream of the news three times a week, gave you no less than 31 separate and distinct scoops. Seven of these were in May— five were m June— four were in July— two were in August —five were in September— three were m tober— three in November and two were in ■ cember. This makes an average of four absoli i, exclusive pictures a month and proves that you u depend on the Big Three for just this kind of ) • service month in and month out. Days ahead! Lys ahead of all competitors. Previous to that, on March 29 It released r^ture of Great Britain's Airship R33 that was sixty days ahead.
