MOTOGRAPHY Vol. XX, No. 1. The Man Hunt, with Ethel Clayton (World) — Poor picture, poor business. — A. J. Kaufman, Michigan Theatre, Chicago. — High class neighborhood. The Cabaret, with Carlyle Black-well and June Elvidge (World) — A suggestive title but a clean picture and it contains besides the stars mentioned Montagu Love, John Bowers and Murdock McQuarne.

Ryan, Garfield Theatre.,2844 Madison St., Chicago.— Middle class neighborhood. Serials and Series Vengeance and the Woman, with Carol Hollaway (Vitagraph)— Print in fine condition.

Y.— Fashionable clientele. u ieve (Cosmofotofilm) — If this picture were to be shown at some school of theology it would likely be all that "Wid" claims for it ; but anyone trying to amuse the public and expecting to make a living thereby, who picks this picture, will in my opinion pick a bloomer. — M. C. Kello»" Homestake Theatre, Lead, S. D.— Neighborhood house. Woman and Beast, with Marie Shotwell (State Kignts) — This might please in Italian district theatres but not moiirs.—M. C. Kellogg, Homestake Theatre, Lead, S. D.— Neighborhood house. Glory with Kolb and Dill (State Rights)— It would have been a good two-reel subject, but in sev,^n,.,lt ,1S tiresome. .
