788 MOTOGRAPHY Vol. XIX, No. 17. "Excellent. Bessie Barriscale is a great favorite and works every minute in this production." — Mrs. M. M. McFadden, Lincoln Theatre, Chicago. Paramount La Tosca, with Pauline Frederick (Paramount) — "A great picture, with Miss Frederick at her best. Pleased our audience very well and drew good business." — M. J. Weil, Castle Theatre, Chicago. — Downtown house. La Tosca, with Pauline Frederick (Paramount) — "Miss Frederick does great work in this. It is a costume play and did not please. It drew a good crowd. "• — George H. Done, Gayety Theatre, Payson, Utah. La Tosca, with Pauline Frederick (Paramount) — "While La Tosca is a recognized play of worth, it should have been modernized and presented under a new title. As it was, business was poor. Costume plays never have gone in Duluth and I fear never will." — A. E. Ableson, Zelda Theatre, Duluth, Minn. The Hostage, with Wallace Reid (Paramount) — ■ "Second run. Good picture. Good business. The star has drawing power." — George E. Schmidt, Alama No. 2, Atlanta, Ga. His Majesty, Bunker Bean, with Jack Pickford (Paramount) — "A very pleasing picture which satisfied everyone." — M. J. Weil, Castle Theatre, Chicago. — Downtown house. Madame Jealousy, with Pauline Frederick (Paramount)— "A good picture. Satisfied our audience very well and drew fairly good business." — M. J. Weil, Lake Shore Theatre, Chicago. Madame Jealousy, with Pauline Frederick (Paramount)— "Fairly good drawing card. Business fair." — John B. Ashton, Columbia Theatre, Provo, Utah. Tides of Barnegat, with Blanche Sweet (Paramount)— "A good picture with a good story that pleased a fair crowd. Film in good shape." — Bert Norton, Kozy Theatre, Eureka, 111. Freckles, with Jack Pickford (Paramount) — -"A good picture that broke the house record for everyone knows the book. Film in excellent condition. Good boosting will clear big money on this." — Bert Norton, Kozy Theatre, Eureka, 111. The Undying Flame, with Mme. Petrova (Paramount)— "A play out of the usual run. Based on the reincarnation theme, with ancient and modern Egypt as background. Business good." — Bert Norton, Kozy Theatre, Eureka, 111. A Petticoat Pilot, with Vivian Martin (Paramount)— "A pleasing picture. The star is not well enough known to draw very much." — M. J. Weil, Lake Shore Theatre, Chicago. The Things We Love, Avith Wallace Reid (Paramount)— "A fairly good picture. Did not draw heavily but the patrons liked it." — M. J. Weil, Lake Shore Theatre, Chicago. Flare-up Sal, with Dorothy Dalton (Paramount) — "Pretty fair business." — M. J. Weil, Lake Shore Theatre, Chicago. Keys of the Righteous, with Enid Bennett (Paramount)— "Just a fair picture. Star not sufficiently well known to draw much." — M. J. Weil, Lake Shore Theatre, Chicago. Hidden Pearls, with Sessue Hayakawa (Paramount)— "An excellent picture which went over very well." — M. J. Weil, Lake Shore Theatre, Chicago. One More American, with George Beban (Paramount)— "Great. This picture has a better plot than any he has been in. Beban is wonderful but the people here don't like him." — George H. Done, Gayety Theatre, Payson, Utah. Sunshine Nan, with Ann Pennington (Paramount) — "A nice little picture, but not Ann Pennington's kind. The public would rather see her in a picture in which she dances." — M. Berling, Madlin Theatre, Chicago. The Family Skeleton, with Charles Ray (Paramount)— "Not up to Ray's standard." — M. Berling, Madlin Theatre, Chicago. Pathe The Angel Factory, with Antonio Moreno (Pathe) — "Plot good. Lighting extra good. Feature ought to please anywhere." — J. Walton, Auditorium Theatre, Lockwood, Mo. Under False Colors, with Frederick Warde (Pathe) — "We considered this a good one but the title is a little misleading."— W. B. Smith, Idle Hour Theatre, Wellsville, Kansas. Hidden Valley, with Valkyrien (Pathe) — "A picture that draws but is too much of a myth to please many." — W. B. Smith, Idle Hour Theatre, Wellsville, Kansas. Innocent, with Fannie Ward (Pathe) — "Good. The star is a favorite here. Everyone was pleased." — M. Thompson, White Way Theatre, Concordia, Kansas. Her Beloved Enemy, with Doris Grey (Pathe) — "Excellent mystery story. Pleased all patrons." — H. N. Jennings, Pastime Theatre, Granville, N. Y. Max Wins and Loses, with Max Linder (Pathe) — "Can't be beat for one-reel slapstick. Max always puts them over." — H. N. Jennings, Pastime Theatre, Granville, N. Y. The Empress, with Doris Kenyon (Pathe) — "Story unreal but interesting. Star fine but not well known here." — H. N. Jennings, Pastime Theatre, Granville, N. Y.
