350 MOTOGRAPHY Vol. XIX, No. 8 Jack and Jill, with Jack Pickford and Louise Huff (Paramount) — "Another extra good program picture and I was only sorry that the weather was so bad that more people could not have seen it. It will surely make friends for this team." — E. C. Preston, Sterling Theater, Superior, Nebr. The Hungry Heart, with Pauline Frederick (Paramount)— "Pleased all my patrons. However, it did not pull very strong. It is not what they expected, for not all of the story of the book is put in the film." — R. J. Relf, Star Theater, Decorah, Iowa. Arms and the Girl, with Billie Burke (Paramount) —"A good picture, better than this star's previous work." — C. Benesch, Garfield Theater, 5531 S. Halsted St., Chicago. The Judgment House (Blackton-Paramount) — "A good picture. Beautiful subtitles, but that's all. Not up to Paramount standard." — Miss C. Benesch, Garfield Theater, 5531 S. Halsted St., Chicago. The Clever Mrs. Carfax, with Julian Eltinge (Paramount) — "Julian Eltinge surely is 'stunning' as a woman. Picture pleased everyone." — Miss C. Benesch, Garfield Theater, 5531 S.

Totten, Star Theater, Everett, Wash. PATHE The Mark of Cain, with Mrs. Vernon Castle (Pa the) — "A fairly good picture but Mrs. Castle does not hold our regular patrons and does not draw new ones. She probably would go well where she is better known to the patrons." — E. C. Preston, Sterling Theater, Superior, Nebr. The Mark of Cain, with Mrs. Vernon Castle (Pathe) — "A good show and a very big improvement over the first of the series. This one should be run first." — R. J. Relf, Star Theater, Decorah, Iowa.
