78 l;.XHIBITORS HERALD April 15, 1922 MARJORIE DAW in a scene from the American Releasing production, Truth," soon to be published. 'The Lying House, Bridgeville, Del. — Neighborhood patronage. Nomads of the North, with a special cast. — Good picture. Drew well" and pleased. — Fred M. Rich, Strand theatre, Perry, Mo. — Neighborhood patronage. The River's End, a Marshall Neilan production. — A very good picture and follows the book very closely. — Horton & Lattin, Odessa Opera House, Odessa, N. Y. — Neighborhood patronage. Man-Woman-Marriage, an Allen Holubar production. — This picture will do more to help "the movies" than any picture we have played. 100 percent satisfaction. Capacity business two days. — Charles Swanson, Opera House, Wahoo, Neb. — Neighborhood patronage. Fox Chasing the Moon, with Tom Mix. — This is one of Mix's typical pictures. One that goes big. Full of pep from start to finish. Tom goes big in this part of the country. — J. Carbonell, Monroe theatre, Key West, Fla. — Neighborhood patronage. A Stage Romance, with William Farnum. — The story good, but did not appeal to our audience. — O. T. Kirby, Princess theatre, Roxboro, N. C— Neighborhood patronage. SKY HIGH, with Tom Mix,— Here is a picture which you should let your patrons see. It contains some of the most beautiful scenery ever put upon the screen. When Tom starts to move he darts over, through and around the landscape with great agility and hops from cliff to cliff like a goat. Neither does he seem to care whether he alights upon his hoof or on his horns.. We stood them out on the first day's showing in the afternoon, which is unusual. — W. H. Creal, Sr., Suburban theatre, Omaha, Neb. Iron to Gold, with Dustin Farnum. — Picture Rood. Should please any house who uses Westerns. Business poor on account of h^rd rain. — Norwine Amusement Co., Odeon theatre, Bonne Terre, Mo. — Neighborhood patronage. The Devil Within, with Dustin Farnum.— This picture will please some, naturally, but the majority didn't care for it. There is too much fighting. Blood and thunder; that's what you get here. It also failed to draw, on account of the name, I am sure. — W. E. Elkin, Temple theatre, Aberdeen, Miss. — Neighborhood patronage. The Broadway Peacock, with Pearl White. — One of her best, but not as good as Any Wife. They are crying for her in serials. Hurry. — W. W. White, Jefferson theatre, Jefferson City, Tenn. — Neighborhood patronage. Sky High, with Tom Mix.— One of the best we have ever shown. Scenery beautiful. Photography flawless. Satsfactory from every angle and pleased them all, which is quite some stunt. — L. B. Anderson, Lyric theatre, Barnbridge, N. Y. — Small town patronage. Sky High, with Tom Mix. — A good clean, dashing Western drama with Mix at his best. Scenery magnificent and story is there. Mix always gets us business and pleases the crowds. — Ben. L. Morris, Temple theatre, Bellaire, O. Pardon My Nerve, with Charles Jones. — Dandy picture, but Charles Jones ought to be made pay for changing his name from Buck to Charles. It is hard enough to get one name before the public without changing. People are at a loss to know what it is all about. — E. Gailey, Crystal theatre, Wayne, Neb. — Neighbor^ hood patronage. Chasing the Moon, with Tom Mix. — A very good picture. Not as good as some Mix has made, but Mix goes good for us all the time. — Spalding Bros., Gem theatre, Taylorville, 111. — Neighborhood patronage. Cinderella of the Hills, with Barbara Bedford. — A pleasing little story with a good star in the making. Did not draw as star was not known. But the next time we will do more. There are some splendid pictures in these 20th Century Fox pictures. — W. E. Elkin, Temple theatre, Aberdeen, Miss. — Neighborhood patronage. Sky High, with Tom Mix. — The scenery carries it over. Not as good as some of his others, but on account of the scenery it satisfies. — W. W. White, Jefferson theatre, Jefferson City, Tenn. — Neighborhood patronage. Perjury, with William Farnum. — Fine picture. Acting of the star very good. Would say it pleased all who saw it. Poor business on account of conditions and rain. — Norwine Amusement Co., Odeon theatre, Bonne Terre, Mo. — Neighborhood patronage. To a Finish, with Charles Jones.— Star very popular. Story with a funny twist, which entertains. Good attendance and patrons pleased. — L. B. Anderson, Lyric theatre, Barnbridge, N. Y.— Small town patronage. The Plunger, with George Walsh.— Good play for a mixed Saturday night. Wall street and stock exchange scenes fine. Scenery of big estate beautiful. Plot good. Clean story. George Walsh puts up some good scrapping. Acting of Virginia Valli very mediocre. Revolving effect of stage and sets. An interesting feature. Prices 30 and 15 cents. — Philip Rand, Rex theatre, Salmon, Idaho.— Small town patronage. The Ragged Heiress, with Shirley Mason. — Very pleasing little picture with a pleasing star. It's good. — E. Gailey, Crystal theatre, Wayne, Neb.— Neighborhood patronage. The Lady From Longacre, with William Russell. — This picture should please any audience. — O. T. Kirby, Princess theatre, Roxboro, N. C. — Neighborhood patronage. Bar Nothing, with Charles Jones.— A real Western with lots of action that pleased 100 percent. — E. S. Sutter, Columbia theatre, Kansas City, Mo. — Neighborhood patronage. Chasing the Moon, with Tom Mix.— Fair picture and the subtitles saved it. Too silly a story, although good action. Poorest lately that we have had of Mix's knockouts. — E. Gailey, Crystal theatre, Wayne, Neb. — Neighborhood patronage. A Virgin Paradise, with Pearl White.— Picture good. Pleased 95 percent. Business fair considering conditions. Don't be afraid to boost it. It will make good. — Norwine Amusement Co., Odeon theatre, Bonne Terre, Mo. A Virgin Paradise, with Pearl White.— Swell picture. Play it even if you don't like White. It is good and ought to please. — E. Gailey, Crystal theatre, Wayne, Neb. — Neighborhood patronage. Gleam o' Dawn, with John Gilbert.— Picture good. Have seen some adverse criticism on this picture. Don't know why. It not only pleased our people, but other theatres we serve. Wouldn't it be a good idea when a picture is not liked, or did not please, to say why? — Norwine Amusement Co., Odeon theatre, Bonne Terre, Mo. — Neighborhood patronage. The Face at Your Window, with a special cast. — Two nights a losing proposition. No good for Western small town. — L. W. Splichel, Empress theatre, Bancroft, Neb. — General patronage. Goldwyn Watch Your Step, with Cullen Landis. — This is the kind of a picture our patrons like. A fast moving comedy-drama. Cullen Landis sure is a comer. Give him some more like this one. — Harold M. Schoonovor, Mazda theatre, Aurora, Neb. — Neighborhood patronage. The Invisible Power, with a special cast. — A warning to other exhibitors. Don't ever pav real money for this one, as it does not go over. It is a poorly constructed story that fails to register. There are some patrons who appreciate good acting who will tell you how good this one is, but the box offce does not register it. Has no drawing power. — W.
