62 BOX OFFICK RECORD SECTION OF April 10, 1926 SHORT FEATUBES Educational AIR POCKETS, Ligc Conley, 2. — Good comedy. It is worth playins. (Strand, McKenzie, Tenn.) This comedy is a little old but is very good. Booked it because I had seen it before and knew it was good. (Odd Fellows H&ll, Schngbticoke, N. Y.) Another Mermaid thot gets the laughs. (Grand, Rainier, Ore.) AIR TIGHT, Bobby Vernon, 2. — Not as good as his usual efforts. It has some laughs in it, only they were few and far between. It caused some genuine laughs at times. (“Y,” Nazareth. Pa.) Did not think much of this. Got a few laughs. Bobby has done better. (Auditorium, Carthage, Ind.) A good funny comedy. (Silver Family. Greenville, Mich.) BABIES WELCOME. Neal Bums, 2 A sure cure for the blues. These Educationals always please 100 per cent and we are always proud when one is on. (Khnttar's, Sydney, N. S.. Canada.) Got a lot of laughs. (Photoplay, Ashland, Kans.) BABY BLUES, Juvenile, 2. — A Ane comedy under the Juvenile brand. It has a lot of laughs in it. The baby is great. In fact he is almost the whole show. ("Y”, Nazareth, Pa.) I might be a little optimistic, but I think this is a dandy. Just full of laughs and I don't like juvenile comedy. (Acadia, Crowley, La.) ‘Very excellent. As good as Our Gang and that's going some. (Brooklyn. Detroit, Mich.) BACHELOR BABIES. Juvenile, 2. — If you are looking for a clean high clctss comedy here it is. You can't get a better one. Laughs from start to Anisb. (Pearl, Highland Park, 111.) Very ordinary comedy. Can’t ace why they make one like this when they can make real ones. This hunch generally turns out good ones. Lay off of this one. (Reel Joy, King City, Cal.) I ran this for Christmas children’s program and evening. It is a wow ! These Juvenile comedies are all good, but this one is the best yet. How it pleased old and young I Wonderful comedy. Be sure to play it. (Bijou, Beach, N. D.) BACK FIRE, Lige Conley, 2. — Fine, lots of action. (Loxley Hall, Loxlcy. Ala.) A good comedy that brings the laughs. (Orpheum. Ada. Minn.) Mighty good comedy. (Strand, McKenzie, Tcnn.) BALTO’S RACE TO NOME. Balto. 2.— A fine hot weather novelty. Well worth buying. (Robbinhood, Grand Haven, Mich.) A good scenic that pleased our patrons. (Majestic, Homer, Mich.) A good educational picture. It is not an entertaining picture but will please those who like to see an educational picture. The scenery is great. (De Luxe, Spearville, Kans.) BARGAIN DAY. Cameo, 1. — Thumbs up. A good comedy with plenty of laughs. (Strand. Elizabethtown, Ind.) Good, with plenty of slapstick, One reel. (Gem, Socorro. N. M.) Audience giggled some so would rate it fair. Not as good as most of his others. (Selk, Scotia, Neb.) BARNUM, JR., Juvenile, 2. — Hardly up to the standard and not many laughs. These do not compare with the Gangs, but generally get by. (Star, Hay Springs, Neb.) An amusing comedy for kids, but no laughs in it to please the adults. (Atlantic, Atlantic, Mass.) A pretty fair kid comedy that got a few laughs. Why make an old grey beaded man and woman parents of a boy of twelve ? It isn’t done that way these days y’know. (Temple. Bellaire, O.) BELOW ZERO, Lige Conley, 2. — A dandy comedy with Lige Conley under the Mermaid brand. ‘The snow stuff was funny and got a lot of laughs. ("Y”, Nazareth, Pa.) Excellent comedy. (Orpheum, Pipestone, Minn.) A good funny comedy. (Silver Family, Greenville, Mich.) BEWARE, Lige Conley, 2.— A very good comedy. Was well liked by all. (Benn. Philadelphia. Pa.) Good slapstick comedy. Bis always get some laughs. (Rosewin, Dallas, Tex.) Fair comedy. (Silver Family, Greenville, Mich.) BLACK AND BLUE. Jimmie Adams, 2. — Good two rceler. (De liuxc, Spearville, Kan.) Not up to the Christie standard. (Palace, Long Fine, Neb.) BRIGHT LIGHTS, Bobby Vernon, 2. — A comedy that is a comedy. Bobby Vernon is the best two-reel comedian in the game. (Club House. Jackson, Wyo.) Ran this with "Tumbleweeds" and some said they liked it better than the feature. This is not a new comedy, but a knockout. (Plainview, Plainview. Neb.) Nice little comedy that will please them. (Rialto, Dickinson, N. D. ) BRONCHO EXPRESS. THE, Clyde Cook, 2.— Quite good. Not a hilarious success hut was good and kept them laughing most of the time. (Star, Hay Springs. Neb.) A good comedy. (Palace, Long Pine, Neb.) BUSY BUDDIES. 2.— This was a fairly good comedy. As a rule we always can figure on getting a good comedy from Educational. (Community, Elgin, Neb.) Good comedy for Memorial Day or any Legion affair. Helped us get some extra business on Paramount’s "Fighting Coward.’’ (Jewell, Hooker, Okla.) An excellent comedy for Armistice Day. Full of good laughs and no slapsticks. Thoroughly enjoyed here. (Star, Hay Springs, Neb.) CALL THE WAGON. Neal Bums, 2.— An old out of date comedy that contained nothing of interest. The Educational comedies we have been getting are either fair, poor or rotten. This one belongs in the latter class. (Palace, Long Pine, Neb.) Just a fair comedy. (Grand, Rainier, Ore.) CAPTAIN KLEINSCHbODT’S ADVENTURES IN THE FAR NORTH. 4.— We thought so well of this picture that we brought it back again within six weeks of its first showing. It is a travel picture, but so interesting you don't notice its length. It is more than worthy of a place on the propram of any theatre. You simply have to see it to believe it. It has "The Chase" beaten forty ways, and that was good. (Hammond, Hammond, Wis.) Suggest that every exhibitor who has this booked go to the Supt. of Schools and tell him that it heats any geography lesson put across in a class room. Sell out to the schools on this. They will thank you for the tip. It’s beautiful and instructive. (Pioneer, Amasa, Mich.) Bought this for an exciting Northern. Nothing to it but scenery. My patrons and myself were badly disappointed. (Regent, Eureka, Kan.) CHASE, TETE, 2. — I consider this one of the most unusual and finest novelty films that I have ever used. A skiing picture taken in the Alps that makes our speed comedies look like alow motion pictures. Wonderful scenery and many fine remarks heard about it after showing. Get this one. Educational will sell it to you right. (Rex, Aurora. Minn.) One of the most entertaining two reel subjects we have run for some time. It is not only entertaining, but educational as well. Played this with "Little Annie Rooney," which makes a combination for entertainment that is hard to equal. (Lorin, Berkeley. Gal.) A very good short subject. Had several tell me how well they liked it. (Majestic, Homer, Mich.) This is very fine and if you haven’t used it you have missed a good bet, as it will please the ones you show it to and that’s what makes good business. (Shuler Auditorium, Raton, N. M.) One of the best short subjects we ever played. (Silver Family, Greenville. Mich.) CHEAP SKATES, Lige Conley, 2. — Lige Conley — Pretty good comedy that has quite a number of laughs. (Bijou. Beach, N. D.) Very good comedy. (Orpheum, Pipestone, Minn.) CLEANING UP, 2. — This is one of the best comedies I have had in my house in a coon’s age. It kept them laughing all the time. Wish they could give me more like these, then I could advertise my comedies and be sure of a laugh. (Reel Joy, King City, Cal.) Very good. (Orpheum, Pipestone, Minn.) CLOUD HOPPER, THE, Larry Seroon, 2. — Good. (Princess, Traer, la.) A funny that pleased all. Larry is good as usual and pleased. Play Semon, boys and you’re always safe, at least your show is. (Khattar’s, Sydney. N. S.) Get this, it will save and put over a mighty poor program picture. The price is right and it has all the -action that is necessary to fill out a show. It is good. (Community. Elgin, Neb.) An extra good comedy. All of this comedian's pictures arc good. (Silver Family, Greenville, Mich.) His best one with Educational. It was a riot for us in every sense of the word. It is a dandy comedy. ("Y,” Nazareth, Pa.) Very good comedy. Most of the Educational comedies are good. (New Palace. Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.) COLD CHILLS, Loaise Fazenda, 2. — This one is a riot. Book it. (Atlantic, Atlantic, Mass.) Slapstick that got a few laughs. (Princess, Mapleton, la.) COURT PLASTER, Neal Burns, 2. — Fair comedy. (Auditorium, Barrington, III.) A dandy two-reel comedy. (Temple, Aberdeen, Miss.) A very good Christie comedy that brought a lot of laughter from our audience. The plot in this one hasn't been used for some time. (Y, Nazareth. Pa.) CRAZY QUILT OF TRAVEL. A, Hodge Podge. I. — This was our first Hodge Podge and it was just fine. Hope they are all as good as this one. (Majestic, Portland, Ind.) Here is something distinctly novel. It is a cross between a cartoon comedy and news reel. Have run quite a few of these and have not been disappointed with one of them. (Amuse-U. Springfield, III.) CRUSHED, Lloyd Hamilton, 2. — No business or did not have any comments on Hamilton. I never do. Does not seem to draw any extra business. Personally this comedy pleased me. (Auditorium, Libertyville, III.) This is one that will bring out the laughs. (Home, Chilton, Wis.) One of his best comedies. It was the second time we had played it but it brought a lot of laughs. ("Y." Nazareth, Pa.) Good and was enjoyed immensely by our audience. (Hudson, Rochester, N. Y.) CURSES, A1 St. John, 2, — A funny comedy that burlesques the serial type of picture. It is something original for comedies. Quite a few healthy laughs given this one. (“Y,” Nazareth. Pa.) A very good comedy. It has our patrons laughing all the time. (Benn, Philadelphia, Pa.) This was made for a chaser but it is not. It is so bad it is good. Buy it. (Silver Family. Greenville, Mich.) Out of the ordinary. Pleased very well, especially the kids. (Club House, Jackson, Wyo.) The best Educational comedy we ever showed ; is a burlesque on the average run of Western features and serials. Don’t miss it because it is a whole show within itself. (Long's Conimunity, Cadiz, 0.) A serial form of comedy that was enjoyed. (Odeon, Chandler, Okie.) This is a comedy much different from the ordinary, that interested nearly all. (American Legion, Elmwood. Wis.) Not just as good as some other pictures of this star but all right. (Palace. Clifton Heights, Pa.) DANDY LIONS, Neal Burns. 2. — Not much to it. Just a few laughs. (Helena. Rockdale, 111.) This is all O. K. (Grand, Bresse, IlL) DIZZY DAISY, Louise Fazenda, 2. — Very, very good. Some excellent comedy situations in it (Star, Hay Springs, Neb.) Good comedy. (Strand, McKenzie, Tenn.) They call this a special comedy but the word has been misused. Only a few laughs. (Palace, Long Pine, Neb.) DOG DAZE, Cliff Bowes, 1. — This is about as good as the average Cameo comedy that we have been getting. Most all one-reel comedies are very scarce with their funny gags. ("Y" Nazareth, Pa.) Good. (Photoplay, Ashland, Kan.) DOME DOCTOR, THE, Larry Semon, 2.— A splendid comedy. (Silver Family, Greenville, Mich.) I think Semon ought to see a dome doctor. His comedies get poorer and poorer. I have not seen a good one from him since "The Saw Mill." Get down to earth, Larry, and
