Creason, Palace theatre, Eufaula. Okla. — General patronage. Queenie, with Shirley Mason. — Absolutely great. The best by far that this star has made. As a program proposition, boost it to the limit. It will make good. — F. L. Clarke. Cozy theatre, Hazen, Ark. — Neighborhood patronage. Just Pals, with Charles Jones. — Very good Jones pictures. Not so much rough stuff as usual. — O. Trayer, Lyric theatre, Rugby, N. D. — General patronage. Live Wires, with Edna Murphy and Johnny Walker. — Good program picture, full of action. Drew well, and will please. — E. J. O'Neill, Broadway theatre, St. George, New Brunswick, Can. Treasure Island, with Shirley Mason. — I played this for my Christmas Eve feature and lost money.

Goldwyn Guile of Women, with Will Rogers. — A good picture, but not as good as some others. — John I. Saunders, Cheney theatre, Cheney, Kan. — Neighborhood patronage. The Old Nest, with a special cast. — One of the most pleasing pictures ever shown here. Pleased good crowds three days. A real picture in every way. — Bert Norton, Kozy theatre, Eureka, 111. — Neighborhood patronage. DANGEROUS CURVE AHEAD, with a special cast — Get this picture and play it with all the confidence you would have in playing WAY DOWN EAST or THE BIRTH OF A NATION. It isn't as big, but it's big enough. Helene Chadwick will impersonate a number of mothers in your locality and Richard Dix will show up a few husbands of your personal acquaintance. Some comedy, some pathos, and a lot of entertainment. Goldwyn doesn't attempt to cash in on a woman's beauty alone. That's why I like Goldwyn service. If they did they'd threesheet little Miss Chadwick all over the United States, for if there is a lady on the screen that is any easier on the eyes than she I'd like her address. And Goldwyn doesn't mention the fact but gives stars real stories with real morals. There now, Miss Helene, come on with that photograph and charge it to Goldwyn. — J. C. Jenkins, Auditorium theatre, Neligh, Neb. An Unwilling Hero, with Will Rogers. — This is the kind of picture the people like best here. Will Rogers is a good drawing card here. Pleased all that saw it. Will Rogers made his hit here in Water, Water Everywhere. — G. D. Hughes, Liberty theatre, Heavener, Okla. — Small town patronage. Roads of Destiny, with Pauline Frederick.— Pauline Frederick is a wonderful actress, but my people could not get head or tail to this picture. It was a jumbledup story with part of the picture a dream, which nobody likes. — Geo. S. Starkey, McKeg's Opera House. Montour Falls, N. Y. — Neighborhood patronage. The Concert, with a special cast. — A good program picture and pleased a fine crowd. Over the average. — John I. Saunders. Cheney theatre, Cheney, Kan. — Neighborhood patronage. Dangerous Curve Ahead, with a special cast. — Not a big special, but extra special. Do not raise admission much, if any. It will please though. — Bert Norton, Kozy theatre, Eureka, 111. — Neighborhood patronage. Madame X, with Pauline Frederick. — The acting of Pauline Frederick is to be commended. This is a fine picture, but in very poor condition. — James J. Christie, Third Avenue theatre, Watervliet, N. Y. — Neighborhood patronage. The Branding Iron, with a special cast. — They don't make them much better. This one went over and received many compliments. Mountain and snow scenes beautiful. — John I. Saunders, Cheney theatre, Cheney, Kan. — Neighborhood patronage. Hodkinson Jane Eyre, a Hugo Ballin production. — Here's a real feature. They either like or don't like it. My patrons were well pleased and my business was extra good. Why do exhibitors keep crying dull times? Buy Hodkinson features and show a profit. — Sam Sax, New Grand theatre, Portland, Ore. — Downtown patronage. A Certain Rich Man, with a special cast. — Picture was good, but did not draw. Lost money. — Lewis & Brisco, Princess theatre, Elwood, Ind. — Transient patronage. The Man of the Forest, with a special cast. — Here's a real honest big attraction. Contains the heart interest and punch and when the patrons left the theatre you could hear them say, "Wasn't it fine"? — C. A. Swanson, Orpheum theatre, Everett, Wash. — Fami^ patronage. Keeping Up with Lizzie, with Enid
