Universal News, 730 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Dear Mr. Anderson: I have been playing your “Universal Newspaper News” for the past two years and can say without any fear of contradiction it is the best News made. McNamee means money in our box-offices and so does your News. Keep up the good work. With best wishes, I am, Yours very truly, (Signed) HARRY SIEGEL Motion Picture Herald Quotes Exhibitor Praise BACK STREET: Irene Dunne, John Boles — Any exhibitor who has passed this up is cheating his patrons out of something really good. It is a picture that people tell their friends about. Played Mar. 20-21 — A. N. Miles, Eminence Theatre, Eminence, Ky. + + + NAGANA: Tala Birell, Melvyn Douglas— A great big lot of entertainment. Different from ordinary stories. Should go over in most any theatre. — Ned Pedigo, DeLuxe Theatre, Garber, Okla. General patronage. + + + CLANCY OF THE MOUNTED: Tom Tyler, Jacqueline Wells — If you play serials, don't miss this one. Splendid story that holds attention. Wonderful photography.

That is not so in this town, as they eat them up. I have been running them for six months and the business picked up about 50 per cent the first week, and has held almost steady throughout. Very good. — Edward L. Ornstein, Vernon Theatre, Mt. Vernon, Ky.

It is sheer delight, gay, inconsequential, full of movement and zest, as fresh as a bright morning after a shower, contains no trace of anything even conveying a hint of bad taste, has pleasant comedy, is lively and intriguing without being risque in any i degree. The music is glorious, the photography exquisitely lovely and the cast splendid. I would literally drown you in superlatives could I adequately describe this picture. I’m afraid you must muster what faith you have in me and accept my recommendation blindly unless you prefer to wait until you can interview someone — any who has seen “Be Mine “ROOM MATES” Two couples, both with pasts, on their honeymoons choose the same hotel. That gives a tremendous kick to this UNIVERSAL reel COMEDY
