Darling Mine, with Olive Thomas. — Played two days to biggest business in years, and the story is there. — Jack Cairns, Brooklyn theatre, Detroit, Mich. — Neighborhood patronage. Footlights and Shadows, with Olive Thomas. — A pleasing picture, but business has dropped on this star since her tragic death. — George E. Taylor, Idle Hour theatre, Dunlap, la. — Neighborhood patronage. The Way of a Woman, with Norma Talmadge. — An average picture of this star that will satisfy her admirers. — Harold Daspit, Atherton theatre, Kentwood, La. — Neighborhood patronage. DARLING MINE, with Olive Thomas. — Talk about a mob, we had it on DARLING MINE. In our five years of business it broke house records for a two-day run. It had everything to please everybody and patrons still talk about it. It truly is sad that she is gone because she was one of the few. — Mrs. J. A. Dostal, Ideal theatre, Omaha, Neb. — Neighborhood patronage. The Undercurrent, with Guy Empey. — If more such plays were put on the market it would be better all around for the M. P. industry. 100 per cent American picture. — Jack Cairns, Brooklyn theatre, Detroit, Mich. — Neighborhood patronage. The Better Half, with Alice Brady.— This gave good satisfaction. We have the best of comments on all Select pictures. You cannot go wrong on them. — W. H. Gilfillan, Lotus theatre, Red Lake Falls, Minn. — Neighborhood patronage. His Bridal Night, with Alice Brady. — A clever comedy-drama. Wonderful double exposure photography. Large and highly pleased audience. — George E.

Her Silent Sacrifice, with Alice Brady. — An average picture of this star that will please her admirers. — Harold Daspit, Atherton theatre, Kentwood, La. — Neighborhood patronage.

Did not draw for us. — Comique theatre, McClure & Faulkner, Jamesport, Mo. — Mixed patronage. The Code of the Yukon, with Mitchell Lewis. — Drew well and satisfied. — H. H. Billings, Pleasant Hour theatre, Pine Island, Minn. — Neighborhood patronage. His Bridal Night, with Alice Brady.— A fair picture. The star is new here, but is growing in favor. — J. Saunders, Cheney theatre, Cheney, Kans. — Neighborhood patronage. Woman and Wife, with Alice Brady. — One of ttie best program pictures I have seen in a long time. Good story and good acting all the way through. — Harold Daspit, Atherton theatre, Kentwood, La. — Neighborhood patronage. United Artists The Love Flower, a D. W. Griffith production. — Made big business on it. A very fine production and pleased many. — Harry Chakeres, Lyric theatre, Lima, O. — Transient patronage. Down on the Farm, a Mack Sennett production. — Good comedy except second reel, which was nothing but a filler. — Fahrney & Elson, Electric theatre, Curtis, Neb. — Neighborhood patronage. Down on the Farm, a Mack Sennett production. — Rather funny. Pleased some. Others said there was nothing to it. Certainly not much of a special. — O. B. Sterling, Sterling theatre, Dayton, Tex. When the Clouds Roll By, with Douglas Fairbanks. — This was great. Pleased 100 per cent of the people, and I am going to make this star popular at my theatre with the help of such pictures as When the Clouds Roll By.— Mrs. J. A. Dostal. Ideal theatre, Omaha, Neb. — Neighborhood patronage. DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES His Majesty, the American, with Douglas Fairbanks. — Good picture, but if about -',000 feet of nonessentials were cut out it would be a better length and better picture.— Fahrney & Elson, Electric theatre, Curtis, Neb. — Neighborhood patronage. Universal La La Lucille, with Eddie Lyons and Lee Moran. — This picture a good one from start to finish. Never saw people laugh so during a show. This attraction a real comedy special. — W. B. Flint, Lyric theatre, Ames, Okla. — Neighborhood patronage. Hitchin' Posts, with Frank Mayo. — Poor drawing power, in fact, none. Picture fair subject. Played out. Just ordinary.— Jack Cairns, Brooklyn theatre, Detroit, Mich. — Neighborhood patronage. Sundown Slim, with Harry Carey. — A hero that is not a hero, but a coward from start to finish. A very unsatisfactory Harry Carey picture. Very slow and tiresome. — Ed. L. Wegener, Lyric theatre, Valley Jet., Ia. — Neighborhood patronage. Everything but the Truth, with Eddie Lyons and Lee Moran. — Don't think much of this one. Some laughs now and then. They don't pull for me. — William Tracher, Royal theatre, Salina, Kans. The Red Lane, with Frank Mayo.— Very weak picture. Star not convincing in role assigned. — E. A. Baradel, Palace theatre, McGehee, Ark. — Neighborhood patronage. The Girl in Number 29, with Frank Mayo. — This is a real picture. Book it and boost it, but don't raise prices. Mayo and support A-l in this one. Sure to please. — W. H Tracker, Mutual theatre, Cabery, III. — Neighborhood patronage. The Devil's Pass Key, with a special cast. — A very elaborate picture in every sense of word. Mae Bush sure a big hit. A picture hard to understand for some, but as a whole very good. Think, though, Blind Husbands the betber of the two. Broke no house records, however. — Mrs. J. A. Dostal, Ideal theatre. Omaha, Neb. — Neighborhood patronage. The Woman Under Cover, with Fritzi Brunette. — This is a fair program picture. Put it over with a two-reel comedy, Lion Paws and Lady Fingers. Everybody satisfied. — L. A. Hasse, Majestic theatre, Mauston, Wis. The Marriage Pit, with Frank Mayo.-— An extra good program picture. Will suit in any theatre. — Ed. L. Wegener, Lyric theatre, Valley Jet., Ia. — Neighborhood patronage. Her Five Foot Highness, with Edith Roberts. — This is an extra good program picture. Only bad feature about it was that it doesn't end up right. — H. W. Jeffries, Majestic theatre, Huntington, Ark. Once a Plumber, with Eddie Lyons and Lee Moran. — Never again. These stars are failures in five-reelers. Too silly for the majority of the people and an insult to the better class. Eddie and Lee, you will fare better in one reelers and that is where you belong. — Mrs. J. A. Dostal, Ideal theatre, Omaha, Neb. — Neighborhood patronage. The Forged Bride, with Mary MacLaren. — A very good program picture. Star is one of the best offered and puts her best efforts into all her work. You cannot go wrong on this picture. — A. E. Berlin, Grand theatre, Rock Falls, 111. Overland Red, with Harry Carey. — Old Harry will please them all if they like
