The acting of Shirley Mason was excellent and the patrons enjoyed the interesting story. — 0. F. Craig, Royal, Newark, Ark. EDUCATIONAL Baby, Be Good, Big Boy. — Our pa¬ trons like these juvenile comedies. — G. S. Kenny, Community House, Green¬ wood, Ind. F B O Kosher Kitty Kelly, Vera Gordon. — A good comedy that drew a big house. Book it. — A. H. Mathias, Dillsboro, Ind. The Two Gun Man, Fred Thomson. — This picture hasn’t much of a story and there is no outstanding acting, but Silver King certainly proved to be a big box office attraction, and that is the important item. This big business came in spite of the fact that there was a tentshow in town. — L. E. Palmer, Postville, Postville, la.
