Wolcott, Grand theatre, Eldora, la. — Small town patronage. PAINTED PEOPLE, with Colleen Moore.— Thought this was a very good one and it pleased those who came. Colleen doesn’t seem to draw well here and we played it two days to light business. — Lincoln theatre. Rochester, N. Y. — General patronage. THE LOVE MASTER, with Strongheart. — A wonderful show. Scenically a gem of the first water. The acting of both Strongheart and Lady Julie great.

Grand theatre, Eldora, la. — Small town patronage. THE LOVE MASTER, with Strongheart. — Here is the best Strongheart picture. It will go wonderfully anywhere with everybody. Everyone falls for this dog and the race is splendid over snowy peaks with some good falls in it. Very exciting. This picture drew the people out wonderfully. Eight reels. — Donald H. Dorchester, Community Centre theatre. Southbury, Conn. — Rural patronage. IN HOLLYWOOD WITH POTASH AND PERLMUTTER, with a special cast. — It is there and over. Much better than the other P. & P. picture, and I realize that that statement covers a lot of ground. It is good all the way through and the last scene is really a scream, so that, if I were advising. I would say, let the feature finish the program for you, because it will send them out chuckling and then maybe they’ll come back again some time. Not so? By all means, buy, boost and play this one. Eight reels. — L. F. Wolcott. Grand theatre, Eldora, la. — Small town patronage. TWENTY-ONE, with Richard Barthelmess. — Played this two days. Gave general satisfaction. Business average. Better than the costume ones he made. — Lincoln theatre, Rochester, N. Y. — General patronage. THE WHITE MOTH, with Barbara La Marr.— Decidedly racy. Is not suitable for Sunday showing. A fair mid-week business was had. Eight reels. — ^L. F. Wolcott, Grand theatre, Eldora. la. — Small town patronage. FLOWING GOLD, with Milton Sills. — Drew well and pleased all that saw it. You need not be ashamed to look your customers in the face on a picture like this. — Jack Greene. New Geneseo theatre, Geneseo, Hi. — Small town patronage. THE WOMAN ON THE JURY, with Sylvia Breamer. — Good stuff here. Drama, suspense, comedy, nicely blended. An up-to-the minute theme. Sure to please. Seven reels. — L. F. Wolcott, Grand theatre, Eldora. la. — Small town patronage. THE WOMAN ON THE JURY, with Sylvia Breamer. — A good picture with no drawing power.

Grand theatre, Eldora, la. — Small town patronage. WHY MEN LEAVE HOME, with Lewis Stone. — An excellently directed pitture and should meet with approval with most every audience. Seven reels. — Wilcox & Witt, Strand theatre, Irvine, Ky. — General patronage. THE PERFECT FLAPPER, with Colleen Moore. — A wonderful 100 per cent picture. Bound to please everyone who sees it. Colleen in pictures of this type can’t be beat. Seven reels. — L. F. Wolcott. Grand theatre. Eldora, la. — Small town patronage. THE PERFECT FLAPPER, with Colleen Moore. — Did not have a good house on account of time of year, but suited all who saw it down to the ground. Seven reeels. — A. J. Milton Bean, Maple Leaf theatre. Mount Dennis, Ont., Canada. — Small town patronage FURY, with Richard Barthelmess. — A good picture, some good acting and comedy in it. Some big fights but cannot see much to Barthelmess. Film good. Nine reels. — W. A. Doerschlag. Strand theatre. Ransom. Kan. — Small town patronage. THE BOND BOY, with Richard Barthelmess. — A splendid program picture. I played it a little old. but satisfied. — Bert Silver, Silver Family theatre. Greenville. Mich. — General oatronage. THOSE WHO DANCE, with Blanche Sweet.— A good show which meant not a cent at the box office. Dealing with rum running, it should prove a timely attraction, but we inlanders don’t seem to be interested in that industry. Seven reels. — L. F. Wolcott. Grand theatre, Eldora, la. — Small town patronage. HER TEMPORARY HUSBAND, with Owen Moore. — Good comedy drama which pleased all who saw it. Seven reels.— A. J. Milton Bean. Maple Leaf theatre. Mount Dennis, Ont., Canada.— Small town patronage. HER TEMPORARY HUSBAND, with Owen Moore. — This and “Hottentot” are the best comedies that we have ever used. It is a knockout first and last. Nothing but praise for this picture. It will keep the audience roaring from beginning to end. Owen Moore and Sylvia Breamer are both dandy in this. Seven reels. — Donald H. Dorchester. Community Centre theatre, Southbury, Conn. — Rural patronage. WHEN A MAN’S A MAN, with John Bowers. — A decided example of better movies. Nicely handled by a capable cast. It pleased a nice attendance. Seven reels. — L. F. Wolcott, Grand theatre, Eldora. la. — Small town patronage WHEN A MAN’S A MAN, with John Bowers. — If you want a dandy Western, here it is. This is the kind my folks fall for. Exciting, and with fine love interest. The story follows the book perfectly. One of the few that does. John Bowers is a manly figure and the picture is first and last a he-man picture. This picture will make money for anyone. I wish ail pictures were as fine as this. Splendid moral in it. Eight reels. — Donald H. Dorchester, Community Centre theater, Southbury, Conn. — Rural patronage. THE ETERNAL STRUGGLE, with a special cast. — A Northern, exciting, with a wonderful canoe trip down the falls, a few swear words, lots of pep. Interesting from beginning to end, with wonderful work by Renee Adoree. Get this if you want to see all your men fall in love with Renee Adoree. She walks away with the picture. Seven reels. — Donald H. Dorchester, Community Centre theatre, Southbury, Conn. — Rural patronage. THE ETERNAL CITY, with a special cast.— Good as a production but poor in drawing power. Eight reels. — A. J. Milton Bean. Maple Leaf theatre. Mount Dennis, Ont., Canada. — Small town patronage. THE ETERNAL CITY, with a special cast.— Ran this to a small crowd. We don’t have many big crowds now. I would call this an excellent picture. I have noticed in the reports some pan this picture, but I fail to see why it would be so. I would call it a very good picture. Eight reels. — P. W Quinlin, .Ideal theatre, Chateaugay, N. Y. — Small town patronage. THE ETERNAL CITY, with a special cast. — Booked this in for the New Year offering. Mailed a greeting card on which we announced this and three subsequent bookings. Brought best business of three months, except “Covered Wagon.” Patrons voted it a wonderful picture, but disappointed that it did not follow the book. Our own verdict is “well worth showing.” Nine reels. — J. A. Anderson. Idyl Hour theatre, Edson, Alberta. Canada. — Railroad Divisional Point. WILSON -WETHERALD.
