wrjS2i,aauRR The Splendid Sinner, with Mary Garden — Pleased our audiences and did good business. As good as Tliais. — Gem Theater, Cairo, 111.

JEWEL The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin, with Rupert Julian — A 100 per cent. picture. Turned them away. A wonderful production.— Colonial Theater, Orange, Cal. The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin, with Rupert Julian — An extra fine picture, hurt by rough advertising. My patrons expected to see some rough stuff, judging from the advertising.

One of the best Lockwood pictures. — Colonial Theater, Orange, Cal. Breakers Ahead, with Viola Dana — An average Metro. — Iris Theater, Belle Fourche, S. D. The Claim, with Edith Storey — Not a pleasing picture, but it will get by. — Iris Theater, Belle Fourche, S. D. Toys of Fate, with Alia Nazimova — This picture is well acted.

Keys of the Righteous, with Enid Bennett— An average picture, but some parts were inconsistent and puzzling. — Iris Theater, Belle Fourche, S. D. A Country Hero, with Roscoe Arbuckle — Not his best, but plenty good enough to drive away the glooms and send the patrons home in a happy, satisfied frame of mind. — Iris Theater, Belle Fourche, S. D. The Secret Game, with Sessue Hayakawa — A good picture with an interesting spy plot, but the director had clues and evidence fall into the hero's hands too easily. — Iris Theater, Belle Fourche, S. D. Jack and Jill, with Jack Pickford — A pleasing comedy-drama, which should please any one. — Iris Theater, Belle Fourche, S. D. Eve's Daughter, with Billie Burke — Another bloomer. Nothing much to this picture, and Billie has completely lost out here. — Iris Theater, Belle Fourche, S. D. Watch Your Neighbor, with Charles Murray (Sennett-Paramount) — Our patrons say these Sennetts cannot be beaten. We think the same. This is a little reminiscent of a comedy produced some time ago, but it had the punch, nevertheless. — Bijou Theater, Carrollton, 111. Bab's Diary, with Marguerite Clark — Great. Capacity business on a very warm night. Print in poor condition. — Bijou Theater, Carrollton, 111.

This will go big where patrons like comedy. — Princess Theater, Springfield, 111. The Great Adventure, with Bessie Love — Star good. Story poor.
