28 UNIVERSAL WEEKLY ;Nov. 30, 1935 Old Regularity Signs 20th Universal Contract E. H. Cady and his projectionist Roy Haining in front of the Strand Theatre, Minto, /V. B. 'Stormy” Delightful Report from the General Federation of Women's Clubs — Committee on Motion Pictures. Western Vice-Chairman, Mrs. Wm. A Burk, 359 N. Bronson Ave., Los Angeles FAMILY AND JUNIOR MATINEE: Against the magnificent sqenery of Arizona, with its great herds of wild horses, we have the human appealing story of the struggle of a young, homeless boy to keep and raise a wild colt, that he feels belongs to him. While there is bitter conflict and gunplay as in all Westerns the fine understanding direction, the natural and realistic acting of the leads, and the intelligent work of the beautiful horse, Rex, makes this a delightfully interesting and entertaining picture for all ages. (Oct. 9, 1935). Universal Pictures Co. of Canada, St. Johns, N. B. Dear Mr. Sault: It has given me great pleasure today to sign another contract for Universal films. This makes twentieth contract I have taken out with Universal in as many years. As you know, Mr. Sault, this is a small mining town of 1300 people, but I still find your pictures extremely well suited to my patrons. I have been in Minto for twenty-nine years and have always been treated with equitable rentals and excellent service from Universal. We had the pleasure of opening this new thatre with one of your outstanding productions five years ago, the first sound picture in the town, "The King of Jazz." It is a pleasure I assure you, to realize that I can always rely on Universal, year after year, to give me the goods and the service. May the pleasant relations between the Strand Theatre management and Universal films go along for another twenty years, is the earnest wish of this exhibitor. To other exhibitors, I would say, — Be safe; play Uni versal 100%. (Signed) E. H. Cady, Manager, Strand Theatre, Minto, N.

PHILIP SEMELROTH The Universal Weekly extends to Mr. and Mrs Philip Senielroth of Dayton, Ohio, sincerest sympathy in the loss they have sustained.
