74 EXHIBITORS HERALD March 11, 1922 Very good western which went over big for me and was enjoyed by all. Good box office attraction which if well advertised will get the business. Push this big. — F.

A Voice In the Dark, with a special cast. — A good program picture which pleased a Sunday night audience. — Howard Varing, Royal theatre, Spirit Lake, la. — General patronage. Officer 666, with Tom Moore. — Not as good as some of his we have seen, but a fair picture at that. We believe we would have cleaned up on this feature on a Sunday if an extra cold wave had not hit us at night. — W. H. Creal, Suburban theatre, Omaha, Neb. — Neighborhood patronage. Officer 666, with Tom Moore. — Fair program picture. — H. B. Phelps, Phelps theatre, Meade, Kans. — Neighborhood patronage. Hold Your Horses, with Tom Moore. — Good for small town.

Y. — Neighborhood patronage. The Revenge of Tarzan, with a special cast. — Patrons were well pleased with this Tarzan picture. — E. J. Degenhardt, Princess theatre, Mendota, 111. — Neighborhood patronage. The Man Who Had Everything, with Jack Pickford. — This seemed to please 90 per cent, but it didn't appeal to me at all. As long as my patrons are satisfied, why, I am. Drew fairly well. — A. E. Rogers, Temple theatre, Dexter, N. Y. — Neighborhood patronage. Hold Your Horses, with Tom Moore. — Here is the best Moore picture I have seen. The house was in an uproar from start to finish. If we could get more pictures of this calibre at a reasonable rental, business would greatly increase. — Howard Varing, Royal theatre, Spirit Lake, la. — General patronage. Hodkinson The Spenders, with a special cast. — This picture will give some a lesson and will satisfy others that cannot spend. It shows that they all will have to work and save. — S. A. Berger, Star theatre, Jasper, Ind. — Neighborhood patronage. Down Home, an Irvin Willat production.— Very, very good. Lots of good comedy and will be liked very much by most patrons. — F. L. Clarke, Cozy theatre, Hazen, Ark. — Neighborhood patronage. The Lone Wolf's Daughter, with Louise Glaum. — Patrons seemed to be well pleased.

Berger, Star theatre, Jasper, Ind. — Neighborhood patronage. The U. P. Trail, with a special cast. — Metro There Are No Villains, with Viola Dana. — A good program picture. — G. W. Yeaton, Ioka theatre, Exeter, N. H. — Neighborhood patronage. Life's Darn Funny, with Viola Dana. — Good clean pleasing comedy-drama. — M. J. Rachosky, Palace theatre, Dallas, Tex. — Small town patronage. Home Stuff, with Viola Dana. — Not quite as good as Viola's other pictures, but she is liked here in anything. — Happy Hour theatre, Cresson, Pa. — Small town patronage. THE INFAMOUS MISS REVEL, with Alice Lake.— The wheels must have stopped going around in the gink's gourd who reported adversely on the entertainment value of this picture. Miss Lake is simply immense in it, and so is Cullen Landis. The support was excellent and the story very appealing. "Intelligence" tells the whole story for direction. It is not a super-feature, but it is much above the average program offering. The fellows all wanted to be in Cullen's shoes and the girls were jealous of Miss Lake, and just itched to get their fingers in Cullen's curly hair. This is a dandy pair and I wish they'd play together regularly. I'll book anything they make. Business more than doubled the second night, which tells its own story. Play this one and then tell me if my judgment is good or poor. Miss Lake is so beautiful she may have prejudiced this report, for I'm only 64 the 28th of February. (Birthday presents of cabbage, onions and soap not accepted.) — J. C. Jenkins, Auditorium theatre, Neligh, Neb. Life's Darn Funny, with Viola Dana.— Star well liked here, but this picture is not what the title would make it appear to be. Has very little comedy. — C. H. Powers, Strand theatre, Dunsmuir, Cal. — Railroad town patronage. Cinderella's Twin, with Viola Dana.— Very good, but not as good as some of her other pictures. Viola deserves to be in good pictures for she is a good actress. Drew fair. Pleased about 70 per cent.— A. E. Rogers, Temple theatre, Dexter, N. Y. — Neighborhood patronage. The Greater Claim, with Alice Lake.— A very fine picture. Pleased a good-sized audience. — Geo. O. Monroe, Gilbert theatre, Beatrice, Neb. — General patronage. The Hunch, with Gareth Hughes — Tell them you have a good comedy-drama here aiid you will tell no lie.— G. W. Yeaton, Ioka theatre, Exeter, N. H.— Neighborhood patronage. Uncharted Seas, with Alice Lake.— Boys and girls, if you think you have seen northern stuff and have not seen this one, you are mistaken. It has a story of real worth, and the ice scenes are wonderful. Just a word regarding the introduction of characters. Producers are so much now days running the full cast before the picture. It makes it much better if they introduce the character by the play name and his own name
