Movie Age (1927)

PAGF 22 MOVIE AGE COLUMBIA RAYART King of the Jungle, Elmo Lincoln. — A very good serial. — E. H. Rorabeck, By Whose Hand, Ricardo Cortez. — A corking good mystery story, well put on. Plot all worked out and explained in the end. Pleased them all. In some ways as good as “Alias the Lone Wolf” — Clarence E. David, Senate, Cameron, Mo. The Clown, Johnnie Walker. — This is a very good drama depicting circus life. A good bet. — M. Skinner, Liberty, Ju¬ dith Gap, Mont. Pal ’O Mine. — This is a fair one and if properly advertised, will pull. — Merlett Skinner, Liberty, Judith Gap, Mont. FIRST NATIONAL Dance Magic. — Did a good business running vaudeville also. Thought it might be a bit risque, but it isn’t bad at all and there were no complaints. — Leona Conner, Columbia, Milton, la. No Place to Go. — Rather a good show. The story is highly improbable, but it is entertaining. — W. A. Toney, Bonzo, Eddyville, la. METRO GOLDWYN Rookies, Karl Dane, George K. Ar¬ thur. — This is a very good comedy team, and this picture was one of the best this year. You can’t go wrong on “Rookies.” — M. W. Hughes, Colonial, Astoria, Ill. Adam and Evil, Lew Cody, Aileen Pringle. — I saw an adverse report on this one somewhere, but I consider it a very good picture. My patrons were pleased and it drew fairly well. — J. C. Kennedy, Empress, Akron, la. Adam and Evil, Lew Cody, Aileen Pringle. — Consider this one of the best comedy-dramas of the season. You won’t make a mistake by booking it. — Russell Armentrout, K. P., Pittsfiled, Ill. PATHE The Cruise of the Jasper B, Rod La Rocque. — Rod has done much better ones, but this one was good after the first two reels. Good for Saturday night. — Clark and Edwards, Palace, Ashland, Ohio. The Freshman, Harold Lloyd. — Print was very poor. Had a good crowd and some of our patrons came to see it a second time. Football pictures are, of course, very good now. — Wendell R. Boughn, Sun, Walthill, Neb. World in Motion, Kansas City, Mo. King of the Jungle, Elmo Lincoln. — Gave me the biggest opening I have had on a serial in three years. Second epi¬ sode grossed within 90 cents of the first — Guy Shriner, Gem, Kansas City, Mo. TIFFANY Lightning, Rex. — This is undoubtedly one of the best horse pictures ever made and we didn’t have to give up our hope of Heaven and our right eye to get it. — Clark and Edwards, Palace, Ashland, Ohio. UNITED ARTISTS The Bat. — If you haven’t played this you should be able to do business, for it is well known. — Merlett Skinner, Lib¬ erty, Judith Gap, Mont. UNIVERSAL The Cat and the Canary. — Here is a first-rate attraction. Everybody was more than pleased. Put a campaign be¬ hind it and you can make some money — E. E. Byrne, Columbia, Athens, Ohio. Her Big Night, Laura La Plante. — I like Laura’s pictures very much, but they do not seem to be very popular with the theatre-goers. Didn’t do much business on this one. — Leona Conner, Columbia, Milton, la. WARNER BROS. Hills of Kentucky, Rin Tin Tin. — This picture broke our house record. A picture like this once a week would eliminate all our troubles. Had the S. R. O. sign out. — Mrs. Hulda J. Green, Gem, Greenriver, Utah. STATE RIGHTS Bachelor’s Baby — Good show. Audi¬ ence went wild. Results satisfactory. Condition of print good. Riley Hauser, Commercial Association , Whitestown, Indiana. Devil’s Island, Pauline Frederick. — An excellent and exceptional feature. — Clair M. Patee, Lawrence, Kas. The Plastic Age, Clara Bow. — Pic¬ ture played here before long enough that patrons forgot it and business was above the average. Pleased well. — F. H.
