W. D. PATRICK, H Cozy theatre, J Florala, Ala. § ^iilllllllilllllllH could about the crowd as it did not draw at all. It has a good fight in it, but the entire picture holds attention. — W. L. Douglas, Strand theatre, Newman Grove, Neb. — Small town patronage. The Silent Call, with Strongheart. — One can't say too much for this subject. It's a pleasure to meet your patrons when they come out. Gee! I had hot weather but it drew anyway. — M. Brewer, Strand theatre, Owosso, Mich. — Neighborhood patronage. The Child Thou Gavest Me, with a special cast. — A good one. Did good business for the weather. Some objected to the picture, but pleased a big percent. — E. E. Divinia, Opera House, Breckenridge, Mo. The Mind the Paint Girl, with Anita Stewart. — This is sure a good program picture. Had many good compliments on this one. — C. H. Simpson, Princess theatre, Millen. Ga. — General patronage. The River's End, with Lewis Stone. — Surely a good picture. Curwood pictures draw well here. — Welty & Son, Mid-day theatre, Hill City, Kan. — General patronage. The Rosary, with a special cast. — A very good picture. Hot weather and church social. I did no business. It will stand advertising big. — Mrs. Lola Bell, Queen theatre. Lonoke, Ark. — Neighborhood patronage. Fox Trooper O'Neil, with Charles Jones. — Very interesting, good, clean picture, but not as good as some of his previous pictures. Will please an audience that likes action connected with a good story, mystery prevailing. — W. L. Landers, Gem theatre, Batesville, Ark.— Neighborhood patronage. Riding With Death, with Charles Jones. — Some picture. The Jones fans will eat this one up. If your town likes the western pictures your house will be packed. We had every youngster that could beg or borrow the admission price. — W. L. Douglas. Strand theatre, Newman Grove, Neb. — Small town patronage. Footfalls, with a special cast. — A dandy picture. Pleased all that saw it but made poor business on account of rainy night. Book this picture. You won't go wrong. — Joe Restivo, Liberty theatre, Freemanspur, 111. — Small town patronage. Trailin', with Tom Mix. — There is something fascinating about this tidy fellow with the trim legs. He just "gets you" — in chaps or society togs. "Trailin"' is a story of flying horses, flying fists, stunts and thrills, with the hero in society dress. Starts with a crash, goes all the way with a bang, and ends with a surprise. Class, and glittering Tom Mix average. — Dan Conners, Pipers Opera House, Virginia City, Nev. Shackles of Gold, with William Farnum. — The best picture ever shown in this town. — C. C. Hay. Hay's theatre, Corao, Miss. — Neighborhood patronage. Queenie, with Shirley Mason. — This is really a good little picture and most of those that saw it liked it, but we had hard work getting the men in.— W. L. Douglas. Strand theatre, Newman Grove, Neb. — Small town patronage. A Stage Romance, with William Farnum. — This is one of the very few pictures from Fox that didn't seem to please, as far as the story goes. Another one called "Children of The Night," well acted, splendidly photographed, but a dream picture. All to the Chloride de Lime. I will rip up every dream picture that comes my way. These are about the only two pictures I ever played on the |U11II1IIIM | From | Pennsylvania | If the semi-annual edition jj of your "Box Office Record" j jj is off the press I would be very | | glad to receive a copy, as I 1 p consider it a most valuable aid jj jj to the exhibitor, jj Wishing you success, I am § | HENRY W.

Thunderclap, with a special cast. — I haven't enjoyed a real special more than this picture. It gets you as soon as it's on the screen and holds you spellbound 'till you reach the end with a bang and you find yourself catching your breath and saying, "Was that only a picture?" I had advertised big and made all I was expecting. Did not raise prices, but would stand it. — Mrs. Lola Bell, Queen theatre, Lonoke, Ark. — Neighborhood patronage. Thunderclap, with a special cast. — Very good picture that pleased. Has plenty of action in this one. — Majestic theatre, Reedsburg, Wis. Chasing the Moon, with Tom Mix. — This is not an extra good Mix picture. Mix pictures will draw good most any time. — E. E. Divinia, Opera House, Breckenridge, Mo. Chasing The Moon, with Tom Mix One of the best houses for some time. Lots of action. A good program offering. Broke house record.— Mrs. Reinhardt, Victory theatre, Bay City, Mich. — Neighborhood patronage. A Rough Diamond, with Tom Mix. — The usual Mix stunts. My patrons are getting tired of Mix. This one is not as good as most and did not draw at all. — W. L. Douglas, Strand theatre, Newman Grove, Neb. — Small town patronage. Over The Hill, with a special cast. — One of the best pictures I have shown this year. Did a little better than "The Old Nest." Played two days to good business.— E. Jennings, Dreamland theatre, Pinconning, Mich. — Neighborhod patronage. A Connecticut Yankee, with a special cast. — The most satisfactory Fox special I ever played. Many told me it was the best picture they ever saw any place. Went over much better than "Over The Hill." One childless old gossiper said she didn't like it as it was "silly." Her opinon didn't cut a darn bit of ice with me. Give us more like this picture. — Marion Wilson, Happy Hour theatre, Chalmers, Ind. — Small town patronage. A Connecticut Yankee, with a special cast. — All that the press notices claimed. Patrons were pleased. Drew two good nights. — H. S. Beardslee, Princess theatre, Ovid, Mich. — Neighborhood patronage. Footfalls, with a special cast. — I do not see why they called this a special. Lay off. It is rotten, lost money, pleased nobody.— E. S. Sutter, Columbia theatre,
