Name of Theatre Transient or Neighborhood Patronage City State Hamilton, O. — High class family patronage. Clyde Cook Comedies (Fox), with Clyde Cook. — Good two-reel comedies with lots of laughs. — Adolph Kohn, Pastime theatre, Granville, N. Y. — Small town patronage. Toonerville Trolley Comedies (F. N.), — Have played four, all pretty pood. Toonerville Fire Brigade was the poorest of the lot. — Roy W. Adams, Pastime theatre, Mason, Mich. — Small town patronage. Aesop's Fables (Pathe). — I think these cartoons clean and somewhat educational. My patrons seem well pleased, though I won't recommend them for "pull" or box office value. — Mrs. Lola Bell, Queen theatre, Lonoke, Ark. — Neighborhood patronage. International News. — Switched from Pathe to International and committed financial suicide. Patrons yelled for their coin back because International is too far behind procession. — Giacoma Brothers, Crystal theatre, Tombstone, Ariz. — General patronage. Essanay Reissues, with Charles Chaplin.— These reissues are good comedies and take good here. — Adolph Kohn, Pastime theatre, Granville, N. Y. — Small town patronage. Screen Snapshots (Pathe). — I have just run the first one-reel of Screen Snapshots and they continue to ask for the next date. Personally I enjoy and endorse them. — Mrs. Lola Bell, Queen theatre, Lonoke, Ark. — Small town patronage. The Play House (F. N.), with Buster Keaton. — Very few laughs in this, although it was an unusual comedy. — Custer Carland, Victoria theatre, Frankfort, Mich. — General patronage. Universal-Jewel Comedies, starring Moran, Baby Peggy, Brownie, etc. — You can't go wrong playing these comedies as they are issued. It is unusual, to expect them all to be good, but we can truthfully say that all we've had to date have been consistently good, many excellent, and none bad. Look into these comedies, and book them. — Fred S. Meyer, Palace theatre, Hamilton, O. — High class family patronage. Pay Day (F. N.), with Charles Chaplin. — This pleased but failed to draw. Paid too much. One more to run from First National, then will buy it at what it is worth or leave Chaplin for the big houses. Costs more but does not please any better than Lloyd Hamilton or Harold Lloyd. Pay Day is just about like A Dog's Life and will go over about the same, which is a good comedy. — Floyd W. Reed, Orpheum theatre, St. Bernice, Ind. — Small town patronage. The Strap Hanger (Universal), with Lee Moran. — Very good comedy. Centuries are generally good of late, and Universal Star comedies are also much better they used to be. — Roy Adams, Pastime theatre, Mason, Mich. — General patronage. The Sailor (Fox), with Clyde Cook.— The kids heartily enjoyed the slap-stick and Cook earns his salary. Good for the kind. — Philip Rand, Rex theatre, Salmon Idaho. — General patronage. The Studio Rube (Fox), with Al St. John. — Excellent comedy. Give us more like it. — C. R. Sullivan, Fair theatre, Amarillo, Tex. — General patronage. Edgar's Country Cousin (Goldwyn), with Johnny Jones.— The kids are strong for this series of comedies and ask for ' them. Adults pleased. This is a "different" comedy and above the average. — A scene from the new Arrow comedy "All Wrong" featuring Bobby Dunn. Harold F. Wendt, Rivoli theatre, Defiance, O. — General patronage. Edgar's Little Saw (Goldwyn), with Johnny Jones. — Rather tame. The llxl4's draw the children. — Philip Rand, Rex theatre, Salmon, Idaho. — General patronage. Edgar's Feast Day (Goldwyn), with Johnnie Jones. — Not a laugh in this one. A monotonous thing which further proves that one makes a big mistake in booking such a series without having first screened each one and selected the good, eliminating the "junk." — Harold F. Wendt, Rivoli theatre, Defiance, O. — Genera) patronage. CAMERA BARGAINS Motion Picture Cameras at cash saving prices. Special professional discounts on UMVERSALS. Immediate delivery on all models.
