They have been charging fancy prices for their Jewels, and they were mostly good, but here comes along a picture that for acting and story has them all beat (Bet it is even better than FOOLISH WIVES) yet they let it get away at a program price. Of course, we did not make money on it at that, but it was not the picture's fault. Boy, it was fine. The most wonderful story ever screened, and I am not kidding you either. — R. Ross Riley, Wigwam theatre, Oberlin, Kans. Reputation, with Priscilla Dean. — Personally did not like it as well as Outside the Law, but patrons praised it highly. — N. O.

The Fox, with Harry Carey. — A very good picture of its kind, and if you have Alice Calhoun in "The Girl in His Room." (Vitagraph) used it and considered this a good bet, then book Fightin' Mad, with William Desmond, from Metro, and see if I am not right in saying that it will please even better. — J. J. Kudlacek, Swan theatre, Swanton, Neb. — Neighborhood patronage. The Big Adventure, with Breezy Eason. — An excellent kid picture that pleased.

Man To Man, with Harry Carey. — Good picture, which enjoyed good business.— William Noble, Rialto theatre, Oklahoma City, Okla.— General patronage. Red Courage, with Hoot Gibson. — Oh Boy, if you want a real Western that makes them stand up in their, seats run this one, for they don't get them any better. — M. W. Wheeland, Empress theatre, Campbell, Neb. Vitagraph Steeiheart, with William Duncan. — In April 15th issue an exhibitor roasted Steeiheart and also said that the titles were "awful". We can't agree with that report at all. We think this play was a dandy ,in fact as good as many western specials. As to the "awful" titles I had the entire family on the lookout but we couldn't find anything that wouldn't have gone over in a Sunday School. Either we are netting morally callous after viewing First National society pictures all winter or that exhibitor has a new formula for home-brew that we haven't tried yet. — Philip Rand. Rex theatre, Salmon, Idaho.— General patronage. Island Wives, with Corinne Griffith. — A well balanced bill. Audiences and critics favorable in their comment. — William Noble, Criterion theatre, Oklahoma City, Okla. — General patronage. Flower of the North, with a special cast. — This is a fine picture, as are all the Curwood stories. Had a good crowd on Wednesday and Thursday for this. Usually our dull days. — Chas. Hurich, Ray theatre, Dickenson, N. D. — Neighborhood patronage. The Son of Wallingford, with a special cast. — Now this is what we call a real one. Cast was perfect. Acting plus. Sets great. Photography wonderful. Story funny and modern. Put it down as an A-l special and it is catalogued right. — R
