Seven reels. — E. L. Wharton, Orpheum theatre, Glasgow, Mont. Boy of Mine, with a special cast. — Another big wallop for First National, but we had better business with this than we thought was possible under the present slump. Positively made some money for ourselves, and I am here to tell you making money on pictures these days in my town KRAUTH P 149 H KUDLACEK, J. J 67 B LAMBERT, O. W 148 B LANGACHER, C.

The Wanters, with Marie Prevost. — This is a very good society drama. Good acting Everyone pleased. Not much of a crowd. — A. F. Jenkins, Community theatre, David City, Neb. Painted People, with Colleen Moore. — This is a darb. Pleased better than any Picture we've had in the past six months. Colleen knows how to do her stuff. Seven reels. — Mrs. Frank Paul, Marvel theatre, Carlinville, 111. Dulcy, with Constance Talmadge. — Exceptionally good comedy that pleased and brought many good laughs. Seven reels. — Crosby Brothers, Lily theatre, Buffalo, N. Y. — Neighborhood patronage. Sonny, with Richard Barthelmess. — A very good picture liked by all who saw it. Richard sure played his part good in this one. Had a fair crowd but gave it as benefit. The dogs did some good acting. Seven reels. — Earle J. Williams, Tivoli theatre, Knoxville, 111. Daddy, with Jackie Coogan. — Jackie's best. Pleased old and young. Film fair. Six reels. — W. T. Waugh. Empress theatre, Grundy Center, la. — Small town patronage. Daddy, with Jackie Coogan. — One of Coogan's best efforts in the type of picture that pleases and draws. Six reels. — Crosby Brothers, Lily theatre, Buffalo, N. Y. — Neighborhood patronage. Twenty-One, with Richard Barthelmess. — Barthelmess might just as well admit that he can't fool the public much longer, and sell out and get him a good story and a director. Business was poor. Title had no drawing value. Just ordinary program value. Seven reels. — Beach-Krahn Amusement Co., Chimes theatre, Oakland, Cal. — First-class patronage. Twenty-One, with Richard Barthelmess. — There are spots in this one that are good entertainment, but on the other hand some of the suspense is worked up in the crudest sort of way until it is most meller. However, Barthelmess shows his unusual talent in expression and I am still looking forward to something good from this star. Business poor three days. Seven reels. — W. H. Brenner, Cozv theatre, Winchester, Ind. The Meanest Man in the World, witli Bryant Washburn. — Just an average program picture, but did not draw average business, and I played it same week as Milwaukee did. Also advertised it so, but didn't seem to get them in. It doesn't move as fast as I think it might. Six reels. — A. A. Suszycki, Majestic theatre. Mauston, Wis. Ponjola, with Anna Q. Nilsson. — A very good picture and it follows the book fairly close. It will please your Friday and Saturday audiences. Seven reels. — E. C. Potter, Fireman's theatre, New Hampton, la. — Neighborhood patronage. Flaming Youth, with Colleen Moore. — Very good and beautiful sets. Colleen sure has made a name for herself in this. Eight reels. — A. A. Suszycki, Majestic theatre, Mauston, Wis. Potash and Perlmutter, with a special cast. — An absolute knockout. Many say the most enjoyable picture they have ever seen. A few like this and business might come back to normal. We unhesitatingly recommend this to any exhibitor. — Clifford L. Miles, Grand theatre, Anamosa, la. Anna Christie, with Blanche Sweet. — Just another program picture sold at special price. Not the kind of a story my people want to see. Poor drawing power. Just barely made enough to pay rental. Lay off this one, boys, unless you want a real rough, tough one. Seven reels. — A. A. Suszycki, Majestic theatre, Mauston, Wis. The Fighting Blade, with Richard Barthelmess.— We were a little afraid of this, for so many brother exhibitors had given it the razz, but I cannot agree with them. Without a doubt the public is tired of costume plays, but aside from that fact we think that this is the best Barthelmess that we have had since "Tol'able David," and that is saying a lot, as we have played all his, including "The Bright Shawl." Our patrons liked this one, and although we did not do the business we could have, we feel that it was not the fault of the picture. Seven reels. — E. L. Wharton, Orpheum theatre, Glasgow, Mont. The Brass Bottle, with a special cast. — The most senseless picture we have ever shown. Not even a good comedy, though maybe it was meant for a circus, as we saw a trick donkey and a lot of funny looking people. Awful strain on the imagination. — A. F. Jenkins, Community theatre, David City, Neb. White Shoulders, with Katherine MacDonald. — This is just a fair picture; noth
