Dearborn St., Chicago. Title Star Producer Remarks Tide Star Producer Remarks Exhibitor ... Name of Theatre Transient or Neighborhood Patronage City State We were late starting and have only had Round One, but all that saw it went away talking.— Anderson & Weathersby, Gem theatre. Omaha, Neb. — Neighborhood patronage. Friday the 13th (C. B. C), with Hallroom Boys. — Splendid comedy, as are 75 per cent of the Federated. Why does Chaplin, Keaton and Lloyd have to make a million dollars a year when people making less make just as good pictures? — A. L. Middleton, Grand theatre, De Queen, Ark. — Small town patronage. Edgar Camps Out (Goldwyn). Johnny Jones. — Good clean comedy. Good for entire family. — Philip Rand, Rex theatre, Salmon, Ida. Captain Kidd's Kids (Pathe), with Harold Lloyd. — As good as any. A little old, but you won't mind that. Snub Pollard helps with the fun. — Sudie I. Haney, Liberty theatre, Des Moines, N. Mex. — Small town patronage. At It Again (Goldwyn), with George Bunny. — Aside from a few laughs which arise from the antics of a character actor in a minor role, this comedy can be rated as very poor. — Harold F. Wendt, Rivoli theatre, Defiance, O. — General patronage. The Tip (Pathe), with Harold Lloyd. — Not much comedy in this one. Failed to get the laughs. — V. G. Bollman, Castalia theatre, Castalia, la. — Small town patronage. Betty's Romeo (Pioneer). , with Muriel Ostrich. — Another proof that it don't take a million-a-year comedian to make a good comedy. This is a dandy and sold at a reasonable price. If we lay off these big fellows. Boys, and let them take a rest and spend their money, so they really need to sell their labor, we can buy their's right, too. — A. L. Middleton, Grand theatre, De Queen, Ark.— Small town patronage. Edgar the Explorer (Goldwyn), with Johnnie Jones. — While this series has held up fairly well to date, this one drags. Two big laughs. That's all— Harold F. Wendt, Rivoli theatre, Defiance, O. Haunted Spooks (Pathe), with Harold Lloyd. — A knockout. Nuff said. Pleased two days. — T. N. Magruder, Elite theatre, Baxter Springs, Kan. — Neighborhood patronage. Hard Luck (Metro), with Buster Keaton.— Ran this with home talent play, Our Wives to big crowd. Every time I run a vaudeville or home talent play I put on Buster as a curtain raiser. He is as popular with our people as Chaplin is or Arbuckle used to be. This one is a dandy. If you you haven't run Keaton comedies you are missing a sure good bet. — Phillip Rand, Rex theatre. Salmon, Ida. Meet the Wife (C. B. C), with Hallroom Boys. — Our patrons expect a good deal from the Hallroom Boys. This probably accounts for the fact that this one went over to few laughs. Very little new stuff in it. — Harold F. Wendt, Rivoli theatre, Defiance, O. — General patronage. A Sailor Made Man (Asso. Ex.), with Harold Lloyd. — Better comedies than this are few and far between. The most critical fan will admit that he found enjoyment in watching this four-reel comedy. Lloyd has never made a better one. — Chas. H. Ryan. Garfield theatre, 2844 Madison St., Chicago, 111, — General patronage. Please Remit (Federated) with Monty Banks. — Monty Banks comedies seem to draw an unusual lot of laughs. They are one wonderful bet. But, personally, I think the quality shows marks of decline. The producer is repeating certain gags and stunts too often. — Harold F. Wendt, Rivoli theatre. Defiance, O. Why Experiment with Poor Work? Why Pay Exhorbitant Prices?
