Atlanta : Got $18,000 at Howard; best previous record of any picture is $15,000. Seattle: Forced to hold over for three weeks, and still they came! Winston-Salem, N. C. : (Telegram) " 'Covered Wagon' turned them away for four days." Turlock, Cal. : Played to paid admissions amounting to entire population, 3,500. This hilarious matrimonial comedy, which Cecil B. DeMille's two assistants produced under his supervision, is catching on like wildfire. Nothing but glowing reports from coast to coast. Los Angeles Times says : "Six reels, a hundred laughs, and about nineteen gasps. Leatrice Joy is marvelous." Wid's Weekly gives the showman's angle: "Very good entertainment. Your gang will go out boosting. As comedy, laugh-getting entertainment, this is a splendid value." 4ISSC L.
