February 28, 1925 EXHIBITORS HERALD 101 reel. — C. V. Anderson, Oak theatre, Oakdale, Neb. — General patronage. THE GIANT KILLER: Very clever and interesting. One reel. — Ryan and Kundert, Empress theatre, Beresford, S. D. — General patronage. THE GO-GETTERS: Alberta Vaughn— On the 6th chapter and going good and getting the dough. What more could you ask of any picture ? But it looks like the stars are going to get married and mess up things. Two reels. — W. D. Patrick, Strand theatre, Florala, Ala. — General patronage. THE GO-GETTERS: Of the ten this house has played, would say that this is the weakest. The average on the series has been high. They are very clever and deserve a place on any program. Two reels. — Ryan and Kundert, Empress theatre, Beresford, S. D. — General patronage. THE GO-GETERS: Just finished the tenth of these series. If you want good high class comedy dramas with excellent character actors, heart interest, good stories, get these two reelers. They are really better than any comedy on the market and fill the bill better. We used them for a feature in a short feature Saturday show and they always went over. Alberta Vaughn is a pippin of the first water ; George O’Hara a real hero and comedy characters better than most comedy stars. — Ben L. Morris, Olympic theatre, Bellaire, Ohio. — General patronage. THE GOING OF GUMMING: This is one of “The Go-Getters” and they are among the best series of two reelers we have ever played. Two reels. — John W. Hawkins, Capitol theatre, New Bedford, Mass. — General patronage. THE LOBBYGOW: Jimmy Aubrey — A comedy which undoubtedly cost considerable money, but there are very few laughs in it. Two reels. — Ryan and Kundert, Empress theatre, Beresford, S. D. — General patronage. THE TELEPHONE GIRL: Alberta Vaughn— We consider these good entertainment and hear many favorable comments. Playing Saturdays with Universal’s “Ranch Riders.” Practically the same cost as “Fighting Blood” and very clever. Two reels. — Oscar Reinert, Elite theatre, Humboldt, Kan. — Small town patronage, THE TELEPHONE GIRL: Can’t say much for this one. Hope they get better. Film good. Two reels. — W. A. Doerschlag, Strand theatre, Ransom, Kan. — Small town patronage. WHO'S HOOLIGAN? Another of “The Go CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Five Cents per Word Payable in Advance. Minimum Charge, $1.00.

THE SLEEPWALKER: About as clever a slapstick comedy as any theatre owner would want. Save a date for this, as it is above the ordinary run of slapstick. Two reels. — Ryan and Kundert, Empress theatre, Beresford, S. D. — General patronage. SPRING FEVER: Sunshine comedy — A dandy comedy. Plenty of laughs. Two reels. — J. W. Rialto theatre, Cozard, Neb. — General patronage. PARAMOUNT SOME NURSE: seemed to please. Two reels. J. A. Anderson, Idylhour theatre, Edson, Alberta, Canada, — Railroad patronage. PATHE AESOPS FABLES: Another dandy of the series. Certainly had them laughing. If Pathe would make them a little longer they would be great. One reel. — George Khattar, Khattar’s theater, Sydney, N. S. Canada, Neighboorhood patronage. EAST OF THE WATER PLUG: An average comedy. Our first of this series. Print new. Two reels. — W. T. Waugh, Empress theatre, Grundy Center, la. — Small town patronage. EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF: Our Gang— This is the first one of the latest series and is full of laughs. It’s surprising how well these Gangs please the adults, to say nothing of the kids. Ran this with a feature which pleased 100 per cent, but in commenting on the entire show, they always made reference first to the Gang comedy. Two reels. — Wm. E. Tragsdorf, Trags theatre, Neillsville, Wis. — Small town patronage. GALLOPING BUNGALOWS: Boys, here is a real comedy. Did you ever see a Sennett that wasn't? Print new. Two reels. — W. T.

T, Waugh, Empress theatre. Grundy Center, la. — Small town patronage. HIGH SOCIETY: Our Gang— Another good one from the “Gang.” A little different from the others. Print good. Two reels. — W. T. Waugh, Empress theatre, Grundy Center, la. — Small town patronage. POST NO BILLS: This is a cracker-jack one reeler with lots of laughs. One reel. — Wm. E. Tragsdorf, Trags theatre, Neillsville, Wis. — Small town patronage. MAUD MULLER: Ran this with “Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife,” which made a good show. Two reels. — George White, Starland theatre, Stockbridge, Mich. — General patronage. THE RAT'S KNUCKLES: Charles ChaseChase's comedies in the past have always been fine, but this one was a total loss. I am offering a leather medal to anyone who can honestly re port that he heard so much as a twitter from his audience during the showing of this alleged comical. One reel. — Wm. E. Tragsdorf, Trags theater, Neillsville, Wis. — Small town patronage. ROMEO AND JULIET: Ben Turpin— There was a giggle or two in this one. Personally, I consider this Turpin about as funny as a crutch. Two reels. — Wm. E. Tragsdorf, Trags theatre, Neillsville, Wis. — Small town patronage. RUPERT OF HEE HAW: Stan Laurel— Our last Laurel and I hate to see him go. This is as good as any of his. Print good. Two reels. — W. T. Waugh, Empress theatre. Grundy Center, la. — Small town patronage. THREE FOOLISH WEEKS: Ben Turpin— This is a good fast comedy and pleased all. Turpin goes over good here. — Jack Greene, New Geneseo theatre, Geneseo, III. — Small town patronage. WANDERING WAISTLINES: A good comedy, as are all of Sennett’s. It kept them laughing. Two reels. — W. T. Waugh, Empress theatre, Grundy Center, la. — Small town patronage. UNIVERSAL FAST STEPPERS: Billy Sullivan-A dandy bunch of two i*eelers that will please anywhere. — Hollywood theatre, Stanford, Mont. — Small town patronage. FIGHT AND WIN: Jack Dempsey— A bunch of lemons. Universal sure took a flop on these. Let them alone. — Hollywood theatre, Stanford, Mont. — Small town patronage. THE GAME HUNTER: Bert Roach— Very good, but silly in spots. However, it went over okay with the Desmond picture, so all told had a good show, and they told me so. One reel. — C. V. Anderson, Oak theatre Oakdale, Neb. — General patronage. STARRING BEAUTIES: One of the few good comedies made. Two reels. — H. B. Frank, Royal theatre, Macomb, 111. — General patronage. VITAGRAPH NEIGHBORS: Larry Semon.— A fair comedy, but not up to his usual performance. This is about the worst Larry ever made, but still it will please. One reel. — George Khattar, Khattar’s theatre, Sydney, N. S. Canada— Neighborhood patronage. PLANS AND PAJAMAS: Larry Semon— If Semon had showed up after the reel was unwound the crowd would have taken him to the river and drowned him. The rottenest thing I have ever seen in a one reeler. Poor crowd, and I am glad. One reel. — G. F. Dediske, Star theatre, Ryegate, Mont. — Small town patronage. ROMANS AND RASCALS: Larry Semon— A dandy. Pleased about 80 per cent. Can easily make the public laugh. One reel. — George Khattar, Khattar’s theatre, Sydney, N. S. Canada. — Neighborhood patronage, MISCELLANEOUS ALWAYS LATE: (G-A) Monty Banks— An amusing and fast moving comedy. Two reels. — J. A.

Davis & Son, Rialto theatre, Sharon, Wis. — General patronage. NOW BOOKING
