Selznick Reported Missing, with Owen Moore. — First showing in Northwest. Raised prices from thirty cents to forty and stood 'em out for three days. Wonderful audience picture. Not even one dissatisfied patron. — Guy D. Hasleton, Rialto theatre, Missoula, Mont. — Neighborhood patronage. A Man's Home, with a special cast. — Harry Morey at his best and the picture all that could be desired. Stood them out for three days. — W. B. Beckley, Casino theatre, Marshalltown, la. — Neighborhood patronage. The Last Door, with Eugene O'Brien. — Only a short four reels, and badly connected. Plot hard to follow. O'Brien good in the part and support okay. Story is not there, and not worth playing unless you have to, as we did. — Ben L. Morris, Olympic theatre, Bellaire, O. — General patronage. The Man Who Lost Himself, with William Faversham. — Poor. This class of program does not take well with my patronage. Action poor. — F. O. Litch, Royal theatre, Hopkins, Mo. — Neighborhood patronage. United Artists The Ruling Passion, with George Arliss. — Probably the finest picture of its type ever made. Rotten title. Forget it and feature Arliss. B. O. fair. — Guy D. Hasleton, Rialto theatre, Missoula, Mont. — Neighborhood patronage. I Accuse, with a special cast. — This picture is one of the finest pictures I have seen, touching on all points of the world war.

Business poor. — Mrs. James Webb, Cozy theatre, Union, Ore. — Small town patronage. Universal The Man Who Married His Own Wife, with Frank Mayo. — This picture should please all classes. Plenty of action, together with good love story. The shipwreck is fine. Pleased 100 per cent, but did not draw very good. — Anderson & Weatersby, Gem theatre, Omaha, Neb. — Neighborhood patronage. THE WISE KID, with Gladys Walton. — This picture drew a full house, and my Presbyterian critic said, "Now, if all pictures taught lessons like that, they would be fit for our children to see. I shall come to see her again." — S. V. WALLACE, Idle Hour theatre, Cambridge Springs, Pa. Tracked To Earth, with Frank Mayo. — Another good Mayo offering. — F. E.

Magruder, Elite theatre, Baxter Springs, Kan. — Neighborhood patronage. Tracked to Earth, with Frank Mayo. — Story fine. No one had ending doped at all. "Cuddle up to Universal" is right. — S. V.

Man to Man, with Harry Carey. — Business way off, but no fault of picture. Dandy subject and should please. — W. C. Treloar, Treloar theatre, Ogden, la. — Neighborhood patronage.

Oppenheimer, Empire theatre, New Orleans, La. — Transient patronage. No Woman Knows, with a special cast. — Spent more on advertising than film rental, but did not do much. Seemed to please well enough. — W. Cruickshank, Opera House, Mitchell, Ont., Can. — Neighborhood patronage.

Magruder, Elite theatre, Baxter Springs, Kan. — Neighborhood patronage. Man to Man, with Harry Carey. — Very entertaining picture and one that should please the middle class. Drew good and there is fine paper on it. — Lee Easterly, Family theatre, Clinton, la. — Neighborhood patronage. Conflict, with Priscilla Dean. — This is a good picture, but for Universal Jewels I have paid too much money under my present conditions. Had I not contracted these Jewels over four months ago they would have been canceled. My misfortune to have a big rain, hence no people, but Brother Exhibitors, you need not be afraid of this picture. — Lake theatre, Baker, Mont. — General patronage. The Man Tamer, with Gladys Walton. — This kid is a jewel. You have to hand it to Universal for picking the beauties: Gladys Walton, Eva Novak, Marie Prevost, Edith Roberts, Miss duPont, etc. Patrons like these. — M.

Goodroad, Strand theatre, Warren, Minn. — Neighborhood patronage. The Fox, with Harry Carey. — One of the best Westerns I ever ran and the. best Harry Carey has ever appeared in. Opened up good. Business was good throughout the entire week. — Raymond G. Frankel, Lubin theatre, Cincinnati, O. — Transient patronage. SECOND HAND ROSE, with Gladys Walton. — Just a fair program picture, but a combination of circumstances drew a tremendous house. It was Decoration Day, which was damp and cool so that people did not care to go elsewhere. Also, we showed Round Four of THE LEATHER PUSHERS, and in addition to that it was Amateur Night at our house. The people came in droves afoot, others by airplane, in automobiles, wagons, buggies, motorcycles, bicycles, and even some came in Fords. They were all here from the grandfathers and mothers down to the babies. — WM. H. CREAL , Suburban theatre, Omaha, Neb. The Rage of Paris, with Miss duPont. — A right good program picture. Some foreign stuff but not too much. Starts off a little slow and thought part of the crowd might leave before the picture gets started. But it turned out okay and it seemed to please. Star working good. Better not turn her loose in the Ozarks. — J. W. Boatwright, Radio theatre, Ozark, Mo. — Neighborhood patronage. The Beautiful Gambler, with Grace Darmond. — I don't believe Universal ever made a bloomer. This one is a knockout. — Bill Leonard, Mystic theatre. Cedar Vale, Kan. — Neighborhood patronage. Hitchin' Posts, with Frank Mayo. — This feature pleased about 80 per cent of my audience. The majority liked it, but a few did not like it. — J. E. Spangler, Globe theatre, Beaver, Okla. — General patronage. The Little Rowdy, with Gladys Walton.— Star always good. Picture failed to draw but seemed to please all that saw it. Lots of them as they came out said it sure was good. Thanks to Walton.—J. W. Boatwright, Radio theatre, Ozark, Mo. — Neighborhood patronage. Conflict, with Priscilla Dean.— This will give good satisfaction in any house. The log jam was great. — Mrs. James Webb, Cozy theatre, Union, Ore.— Small town patronage. Reputation, with Priscilla Dean. — A good picture, but patrons liked her better in The Virgin of Stamboul and Outside the Law. — M. Oppenheimer,
