ON THE BANKS OF THE WABASH: Mary Carr — Fairly good, but some did not care for it. The trailer helped to get them in and all advertising good. Vitagraph service is extra good. Trailers on most all features and no charge. If you Ontario boys want some good features and good service, get in touch with Vitagraph’s Toronto office. Seven reels. — M. T. Craig. Majestic theatre, Dresden, Ont., Canada. — Small town patronage.

WHEN DANGER SMILES: William Duncan— Might have been a good picture. I only received about two-thirds of it and what I did get was so rotten that I was unable to run. Same old story . — will never happen again. Three and one-third reels on five. — J. M. Broadus, Dixie theatre. Bay Minette, Ala. — Small town patronage.

Warner Brothers
THE NARROW STREET, with a special cast. — Very, very good entertainment. — Harry Boynton, Royal theatre, Hamilton. Tex. — Small town patronage.
FIND YOUR MAN: Rin-Tin-Tin — Just the kind of picture that will bring out all the people in any town that ever go to the movies.

Durham, Grand theatre, Camas, Wash. — Small town patronage.
TIGER ROSE: Lenore Ulric — A fine picture of the Northwest, with some beautiful scenery. Mounted police story. Print in very bad condition. Bad roads have hurt business greatly. Eight reels. — R. C. Geeting, Lyric theatre, Chappell, Neb. — Small town patronage.
BABBITT : Willard Louis — An extra good picture, well liked by all who saw it. which were few. Unless you have a clientele who read books you will have the same experience as I had. Lost good money. Personally I think Warner Bros, are putting out the best productions of any pro
ducer, yet they lack the one thing needed, drawing power in a community of laborers. — W. H. Durham, Grand theatre, Camas, Wash. — Small town patronage.
THE TIE THAT BINDS: Barbara Bedford— We note few reports on this and for the benefit of those who have it booked we wish to say that we found it very satisfactory for any audience. Nice clean print. Seven reels. — Oscar Reinert, Elite theatre, Humboldt, Kan. — Small town patronage.
BEING RESPECTABLE: Monte Blue— A ‘picture nicely done, but lacks drawing power for small towns like this. — W. H. Durham, Grand theatre, Camas, Wash. — Small town patronage.
DADDIES: Mae Marsh — A delightful comedy. Entire cast good. Interesting from start to finish and clever enough to suit the most exacting. Mae Marsh not the best star, but the others made up for it. Always glad to get this kind. Seven reels. — Oscar Reinert, Elite theatre, Humboldt, Kan. — Small town patronage.

WHERE THE NORTH BEGINS: Rin-Tin-Tin— A fine show which pleased all on a Saturday night. We did not receive a very good print on this, considering the top price we paid for this show.

ENLIGHTEN THY DAUGHTER: Special cast— A traveling road show and fair, but we were stung as to the percentage. They offer 25 per cent and you should get 50 per cent. Had a good house as usually all of these bring them out. No other comments to make. Film fair. Seven reels.
