Jenkinson, Victor theatre, Minocqua, Wis. Velvet Fingers (Pathe), with George B. Seitz. — This serial has our patrons guessing. It is something different. I believe this serial is going to be one of the best. We run this with a mixed program, comedy and western. , Can't tell how it is going to hold up. Just on the third episode. — G. D. Hughes, Liberty theatre, Heavener, Okla. — -Small town patronage. Miracles of the Jungle (Federated), with a special cast. — Have finished this and consider it a good serial, but by using this with features consider that it made me some money. — F. L. Clarke, Cozy theatre, Hazen, Ark. — Neighborhood patronage. Miracles of the Jungle (Federated), with a special cast. — Was on the eleventh episode and going good, but the smallpox has us closed and can't say how we will finish.

Winners of the West (Universal), with Art Acord. — Starts out like a winner. — ■ R. Ross Riley, Wigwam theatre, Oberlin, Kan. — General patronage.

If the following episodes have plenty of action it will be a winner. — E. O. Ford, Broadway theatre, Brooklyn, la. — Neighborhood patronage. The White Horseman (Universal), with Art Acord.— Was a good serial from start to finish. Our patrons came to every chapter to see the White Horse appear, but they never saw him. But it is a good serial full of action. — G. D. Hughes, Liberty theatre, Heavener, Okla. — Small town patronage. Short Subjects Among Those Present (Asso. Ex.), with Harold Lloyd.— A good three-reel comedy with plenty of laughs. Contains many new, gags. High class in settings, and supporting cast is all that could be expected. Ran it on an all-comedy night and it received the most laughs with three other comedies on the same program.— Chas. H. Ryan, Garfield theatre, 2844 Madison St., Chicago, 111. — Neighborhood patronage. The Boat (F. N.), with Buster Keaton. — By all means play this one. At last we are commencing to get comedies without leg shows. Play this up and go after the kids. — A. L. Picker, Rex theatre, Ironwood, Mich. — Neighborhood patronage. The Idle Class (F. N.), with Charles Chaplin. — Just as expected. Cleaned up and am waiting for more. — C. A. Swanson, Orpheum theatre, Everett, Wash. — Family patronage. The Idle Class (F. N.), with Charlie Chaplin. — There is only one Chaplin and he makes them all laugh. He is not a comedian; he is a comedy artist. Boys, if this one fails, close up. — A." L. Picker, Rex theatre, Ironwood, Mich. — Neighborhood patronage. Call a Cop (F. N.), a Mack Sennett production. — A little better than the average Sennett comedy, but not as good as the first ones this producer made. — W. E. Elkin, Temple theatre, Aberdeen, Miss. —Neighborhood patronage. Snooky's Fresh Heir (Federated), with Snooky. — Absolutely the best comedy of the year. Patrons came back the second night to sec it. — D. F. Thronburg, Overland and Liberty theatre, Nebraska City, Neb. — General patronage. The Saw Mill (Vitagraph), with Larry Semon. — A very good comedy. Larry is all right. — N. O. Foster, Elite theatre, Otsego, Mich. — Neighborhood patronage. Love's Outcast (F. N.), a Mack Sennett production. — Not the slapstick kind but they laughed at it. Turpin is good and always draws well. You owe Turpin comedies to your patrons. — W. E. Elkin, Temple theatre, Aberdeen, Miss. — Neighborhood patronage. AMONG THOSE PRESENT, (Asso. Ex.) with Harold Lloyd. — These comedies are three reels and the absolute knock-'em-dead kind. Here's the program to run them with. One reel animal picture, by Jack Allen, one reel "Aesop's Fables"; one reel "Pathe News." A program that can't be beat for getting the money and satisfying the people. Try it once and charge fifteen and twenty-five cents. — W. E. Elkin, Temple theatre, Aberdeen, Miss. — Neighborhood patronage. Moonshine (Educational), with Lloyd Hamilton. — All of "Ham's" comedies are real good. We haven't had a poor comedy from him. — Olen Reynolds, Pearl theatre, Hymera, Ind. — General patronage. The Rent Collector (Vitagraph), with Larry Semon. — Excellent. One of the greatest comedies ever produced. They won't only laugh, they will scream. — J. N. Schwartwalder, Universal theatre, Auburn, N. Y. — General patronage. Small Town. Stuff (Fox), with Al St. John. — One of the funniest comedies we ever ran. It's full of pep and kept the audience laughing. — W. E. Elkin, Temple theatre, Aberdeen, Miss. — Neighborhood patronage. Let 'Er Go (F. N.), a Mack Sennett production. — The best Sennett comedy we ever played; lots of real fun and lively action, and but few bedroom and hall scenes, which are so much in vogue. — Chas. W. Lewis, I. O. O. F. Hall, Grand Gorge, New York. — Neighborhood patronage. The Star Boarder (Vitagraph), with Larry Semon. — Semon comedies draw better than serials. Pack the house with every Semon comedy. Brother, book Semon for big box office receipts. — M. L. Steinberg, Dreamland theatre, Norris, Okla. — Small town patronage. Brownie's Baby Doll (Universal), with Baby Peggy. — Patrons still talk about this comedy. Everyone thought Peggy just great. Had the house in a continuous uproar. There's really not so much to the comedy, but it sure went over fine for me. — Chas. Kuchan, Idylhour theatre, Canton, 111. — General patronage. A Monkey Bell Hop (Universal), with Joe Martin. — Just fair. Nothing to rave over. Children always like the monkey, but grownups don't care for him. — W. E. Elkin, Temple theatre, Aberdeen, Miss. — Neighborhood patronage. Beating the Game (Universal), with Hoot Gibson. — Although only two reels, drew good, in spite of Legion home talent play as competition. — O. L. Dowell, Electric theatre, Eldon, Mo. — Neighborhood patronage. The Bell Hop (Vitagraph), with Larry Semon. — A sure riot of fun. Best Semon comedy run to date. Semon in a class by himself. — A. H. McLaughlin, Criterion theatre, Oklahoma City, Okla.— High class patronage.
