Johnson, Paramount thea tre, Gibbon, Neb — Neighborhood patronage. The Jucklins, with Monte Blue. — ■ Personally thought this was woefully slow and so remarked to several and to my amazement they came back at me and said that I missed the Southern charm; that I missed the quaintness of old Jucklin, who loved to fight his rooster's; that the play followed the book to a T. I bow to their superior judgment, mentally wishing that fifty more people had turned out to breathe in some of that Carolina atmosphere and then I would have just broken even. — Philip Rand, Rex theatre, Salmon, Ida. Saturday Night, with a special cast. — A lavish production in every sense of the word. Ran it for four of the hottest days of the season. Universally liked, but made no money. It seems that really fine pictures cost the producer too much. What? — Clark & Edwards, Palace theatre, Ashland, O. — Neighborhood patronage. The Mystery Road, with David Powell. — A very pleasing picture although my patrons did not rave about it. English pictures do not go much with me. I lost money on it. — W. D. Patrick, Cozy theatre, Florala, Ala. — Neighborhood patronage. Always Audacious, with Wallace Reid. — While considerably different from most of Reid's productions, he does some good work in it and it went over mighty well with us. — C. E. Johnson, Paramount theatre, Gibbon, Neb. — Neighborhood patronage. The City of Silent Men, with Thomas Meighan. — A very good picture showing the inside of prison life. Everyone said it was good, and it is. — H. P. Thompson, Liberty theatre, Pardeeville, Wis. — Neighborhood patronage. Too Wise Wives, with a special cast. — Not up to standard of Weber pictures, but a very good picture. Does not please. — E. E. Divinia, Opera House, Breckenridge, Mo. The Princess of New York, with David Powell. — Fair. The title killed it, though. English pictures don't go here. — S. G. Ihde, Photoplay theatre, Ashland, Kan. — Neighborhood patronage. The Love Special, with Wallace Reid. — Good picture but no drawing power. — H. L. McDonald, Royal theatre, Malvern, Ark. — Neighborhood patronage. Burglar Proof, with Bryant Washburn. — This is a good comedy-drama and pleased all who like something light. — C. E. Johnson, Paramount theatre, Gibbon, Neb. — Neighborhood patronage. Something to Think About, a Cecil B. DeMille production. — Many fine compliments on this one. An artistic piece of work with a fine story. The kind of picture that will go anywhere, anytime. — H. P. Thompson, Liberty theatre, Pardeeville, Wis. — Neighborhood patronage. The Affairs of Anatol, a Cecil B. DeMille production. — Forget it. If you don't you will always wish you had. Played it some time ago. Paramount got all my money. I got the experience. — E. E. Divinia, Opera House, Breckenridge, Mo. Travelin' On, with William S. Hart. — Bill didn't get converted, he didn't shed any tears, and there was plenty of action, so the picture suited the Hart fans exactly. They all came, too. — E. L. Franck, Oasis theatre, Ajo, Ariz. — Neighborhood patronage. Don't Tell Everything, with a special cast. — A good picture, but Paramount had a dream when it made the price on it. Buy it right and make yours. Do not
