Mrs. Dane's Defense, with Pauline Frederick (Paramount) — "An average picture but this star fails to draw any more." — R. J. Relf, Star Theatre, Decorah, la. The Ghost House, with Jack Pickford and Louise Huff (Paramount) — "While not quite up to the stars', standard, this held pretty well." — C. Everett Wagner, Dreamland Theatre, Chester, S. C. The Thing We Love, with Wallace Reid (Paramount)— "Only fair. Did not draw. Just an average picture." — Charles H. Ryan, Garfield Theatre, 2844 Madison street, Chicago. One More American, with George Beban (Paramount)— "Very good. The best this star has done excepting The Alien. Beban does not draw, however, and most of our patrons do not like his work. I don't know why. Personally I think him a great . character actor and I enjoy his films." — Charles H. Ryan, Garfield Theatre, 2844 Madison street, Chicago. Taming Target Center, with Polly Moran (Sennett-Paramount) — "A western burlesque comedy that went over O. K. Not quite as many laughs as the usual Sennett but there are a few thrills. Turpin is risingfast as a comedian. His work is natural." — Charles H. Ryan, Garfield Theatre, 2844 Madison street, Chicago. Sunshine Nan, with Ann Pennington (Paramount) — "This was not liked by all. Ann appears as a tomboy. She does no dancing, which disappointed some. This drew only average business." — Charles H. Ryan, Garfield Theatre, 2844 Madison street, Chicago. Bab's Burglar, with mount) — "A splendid picture. The star is very popular here." Theatre, Marmarth, N. D.

Ryan, Garfield Theatre, 2844 Madison street, Chicago. Select Her Silent Sacrifice, with Alice Brady (Select) — ■ "An excellent picture to good business." — John B. Ashton, Columbia Theatre, Provo, Utah. By Right of Purchase, with Norma Talmadge (Select)— "A very good picture, well staged and directed and with photography of the best. I have noticed that Select can take ah old story and make a really pleasing picture where many others fail to make good." — Leo Peterson, Iris Theatre, Belle Fourche, S. D. The Knife, with Alice Brady (Select)— "The poorest picture Miss Brady has been in. The Chicago censorship board cut it all to pieces until there was no story and no sense. It would have been better if they had rejected it." — Miss Benesch, Bell Theatre, Chicago. Triangle I Love You, with Alma Rubens (Triangle) — "A good picture. It does not hold the interest in the first part but as the story takes a new twist it develops a good picture from an over-worked story." — Leo Peterson, Iris Theatre, Belle Fourche, S. D. Law's Outlaw, with Roy Stewart (Triangle) — "A fair western picture. The director made several mistakes in continuity and plot." — Leo Peterson, Iris Theatre, Belle Fourche, S. D.

Business above the average." — Levi Stevens, Bijou Theatre, Alpena, Mich. Because of a Woman, with Belle Bennett (Triangle)— "Star very good.
