Movie Age (1927)

PAGE 24 MOVIE AGE F B O Arizona Nights, Fred Thomson. — Another good one from a real western star. Drew a full house and pleased them all. — Ray W. Musselman, Princess, Lincoln, Kans. The Blue Eagle — Rather a poor pic¬ ture. There was one good fight which helped, but the plot was inconsistent. A very ordinary program picture that could not be used for a special at all. — H. V. Ritter, McDonald, McDonald, Kas. City — I consider this an excellent pic¬ ture because it had all the necessary ele¬ ments — love, action, and comedy. This would not do for a special; would be a good Sunday attraction. — H. W. Batchelder, Galt, Galt, Colo. Bull Dog Pluck, Bob Custer — Custer has made better pictures than this one, but it was satisfactory. — R. A. Preuss, Arvada, Arvada, Colo. Dead Line, Bob Custer — Print in good shape on this Western. Picture pleased. — A. H. Mathias, Dillsboro, Dillsboro, Ind. Laddie — We had the largest audience of the season for this one. This is an exceptionally good picture; good enough for Sunday or special showings. Merits a good advertising program. — A. H. Mathias, Dillsboro, Dillsboro, Ind. Lure of the Night Club, Viola Dana — Miss Dana has made better pictures than this light program film. — R. A. Preuss, Arvada, Arvada, Colo. FIRST NATIONAL Overland Stage, Ken Maynard. — Even high priced Harold Lloyd is not a better attraction than Ken Maynard. We can hardly accommodate our patrons on Sat¬ urday night when we show a Maynard picture. — L. E. Palmer, Postville, Postville, la. The Lost World. — Made some money on this in spite of the fact that I played it too late. A wonderful picture. — L. E. Palmer, Postville, Postville, la. Affairs of the Follies. — In spite of bad weather this picture drew well. It is a good production, although not par¬ ticularly well adapted to small towns. — L. E. Palmer, Postville, Postville, la. The Making of O’Malley, Milton Sills. — This spicture pleased the moderate sized audience which came although the weather was hot. — Kewey L. Kisor, .Sterling, Fairmont, Neb. FOX No Man’s Gold, Tom Mix. — As good as any Mix’s pictures and it sure drew some real business. — Ray W. Musselman, Princess, Lincoln, Kans. METRO-GOLD WYN Rookies, Karl Dane, Geo. K. Arthur. — About as funny as they make them and will fill the house and satisfy. — Ray W. Musselman, Princess, Lincoln, Kans. Tillie the Toiler, Marion Davies. — Marion is excellent in this. Lots of fun sind humor, with excellent ending. — William Noble, Capitol, Oklahoma City, Okla. The Scarlet Letter, Lillian Gish — A very fine picture, but a poor box office attraction for a small town. It does not have enough action and is not bright enough. — H. W. Batchelder, Galt, Galt, Colo. PARAMOUNT Man of the Forest, Jack Holt. — Very entertaining. Jack is a favorite here. Had many tourists. — W. A. Hillhouse, Lyric, Glasco, Kans. The Way of All Flesh, Emil Jannings. — One of the best pictures and you can’t beat it for interest. — William Noble, Capitol, Oklahoma City, Okla. Hula, Clara Bow. — Clara out-natives the natives in this one. This picture is sure to please everyone. — William Noble, Criterion, Oklahoma City, Okla. Soft Cushions, Douglas MacLean. — Plenty of action and full of pep. A splendid entertainer. — William Noble, Oklahoma City, Okla. Beau Geste, Ronald Coleman — This is an extra big production and warrants a big advertising campaign. We had full houses for three days at a larger ad¬ mission price. Very good for either special special showing or Sunday. — H. V. Smoots, Vine, Mt. Vernon, Ohio. Quicksands, Richard Dix — A fairly good picture. It looks like it had been made some time ago and touched up. — H. V. Smoots, Vine, Mt. Vernon, Ohio. PATHE Up in Mable’s Room, Marie Prevost. — The picture satisfied and they talked about it for a week. Sure worth run¬ ning. — Ray W. Musselman, Princess, Lincoln, Kans. STATE RIGHTS Dancing Days, Helene Chadwick. — A very good picture. Film in fine shape. Showed two-reel comedy with it. — W. A. Hillhouse, Lyric, Glasco, Kans. Men of the Night, Herbert Rawlinson. — Fair but rather slow, although it pleased very well. — W. A. Hillhouse, Lyric, Glasco, Kans. God’s Great Wilderness, Lillian Rich. — This one is bigger than many specials. Pleased every one. Advertising acces¬ sories very attractive. — Otto Clark, Electric, Anderson, Mo. His Rise to Fame, Geo. Walsh. — Back any of Walsh pictures. They please. — Otto Clark, Electric, Anderson, Mo. A Streak of Luck, Buffalo Bill, Jr. — This with Phantom Police serial gave us one of the best programs we have ever run. Our patrons were delighted. We played this against Paramount op¬ position and knocked ’em cold. — Victor Cason, Cason, Osceola, Mo. Speed King, Richard Talmadge. — fine action picture as good as any pic¬ ture Doug Fairbanks ever made. That is what my audience said. — L. R. Richolson, Isis, Lucas, Kans. The Man in the Shadow, Myrtle Steadman. — One of the best I ever played. Print perfect. I have played independent pictures over sixteen months. The bad ones have been very few. I received my money’s worth and wonderful treatment. Why take abuse from the big companies. Even Uncle Sam can’t get along with them. — L. R. Richolson, Isis, Lucas, Kans. Dancing Days, Helene Chadwick. — A real drama of jazz age. Spicy — not a dull inch in the six reels. If you pay twice the price you can’t get a better one. Play it. — S. M. White, American, Keytesville, Mo. EXHIBITORS — Send in your Box-Office Reports.
