December 18, 1909. THE SHOW WORLD 33 Cinephone Givqs Satisfaction. W. S. Milliken, manager of the United Film Renting Company, Troy, N. Y., received the following letter from John L. Allen, of the Art thea¬ ter, Mechanicsville, N'. Y., regarding the’ Cinephone: “On behalf of the Art theater, I wish to thank you and your assistants for the splendid exhibition of the Cinephone given at this house Satur¬ day night. “Each of the four subjects, viz., II Ifirovatore. The Apache Dance, A Jolly Christmas, and My Old Ken¬ tucky Home, were well worth five times the price of admission. ‘0n conversation with our patrons, however, I learn the consensus of opinion is that ‘A Jolly Christmas’ and ‘My Old Kentucky Home’ are the especial favorites, and can be billed as headliners. “I am glad to say this is the most Wonderful machine I have ever in¬ spected, and will, I am sure, be a great box-office booster. “Again thanking you for all past favors, and with best wishes for a prosperous Independent season, I am, “Sincerely yours, “JNO. L. ALLEN.” Somborn Opens Own Exchange. H. K. Somborn, until recently con¬ nected with the Mullin Film Service of Syracuse, N. Y., and prior to that time with the Pittsburg Calcium Light & Film Company, has opened an ex¬ change in Kansas City called the Peerless Motion Picture Company, located at 1012 Baltimore avenue. Mr. Somborn has had much experi¬ ence in the film-renting business, and will no doubt secure much independ¬ ent business in his territory, as he be¬ lieves in buying film. “THE AWAKENING OF BESS’ (Released Monday, I )ee. 27th.) It’s a love story, not mushy but powerful and convincing. This kind of picture helps build up a reputation for your theatre, not only with the matinee crowds but the evening ones as well. Your competitor using trust films will have a sinking sensa¬ tion in the pit of his stomach when he sees this film, because he will realize, as never before, that the marvelous improvement in Independent films sounds the doom of the crowd he is supporting with his trade. Now then, if you really want “Imp” films, WRITE TO YOUR EXCHANGE UNTIL YOU GET THEM! Lots of exchanges are not buying new stuff. If yours is not, you’are entitled to know it. Any reputable ■ Independent film manufacturer will give you the information on request. The film exchanges that ARE buying new films every week are the only ones entitled to YOUR considera¬ tion. We’ll be only too glad to tell you who they are. Don’t buy a in a poke!!!!! IMP RELEASED ’MONDAY, "DEC. 13th!
