THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY

""Century Popularity Grows
"I have been showing your two-reel Century comedies for the past two or three years and I have always been well pleased with them; in fact they are much better than most of the comedies now being produced."
W. F. BOGERT, American Theatre. Brownwood, Texas.
"With reference to your Century comedies I want to say that they are giving me entire satisfaction. As a matter of fact, I feature your comedies and try to get them in on days when I have spent a lot of money for a feature or when I have pictures that I think are weak.
This has worked out successfully, for Century comedie put these features over."
Very truly yours,
JULIUS SAX, Julius Sax Theatres Circuit, Portland, Oregon.
"I wish to compliment you on your Century comedies and find them good in every respect. Give us plenty of action with the lions, dogs, etc., as my audiences like animals."
Yours verv truly,
G. M. THOMPSON,
St. Clair Theatre. St. Clair Borough, Pittsburgh, Pa.
"We would like to congratulate you on your Century comedies. We have been using these from the very first and would like to say that they are full of *Pep' and that we have not seen a bad one yet. Make more of these. We are," Yours verv truly,
ROBERT E. LEE,
Crystal Theatre, Beaumont, Texas.
"I take great pleasure in advising you that we have run your Century comedies and found that same were well received by our audience.
Hoping to continue same on our programme, I am,"
Very truly yours,
J. JONES JOHNSON, Orient Theatre, 111 West 125th St., New York City.
"Allow me to congratulate you on the merit and laughing quality of your two-reel Century comedies. I have been running same at my theatres for the past three years and find they are the best on the market. I cannot recommend them too highly to every exhibitor.
Trusting that your Century comedies will be as good in the future as they have been, I beg to remain,
Very truly yours,
S. RINSLER, Sheffield Theatrical Specialties, 308-314 Sheffield Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y.
"Please accept a word of thanks for the exceptional quality of Universal's Century comedies. They sure are the two-reel comedies with laughs bubbling out of them like squeaks from a stuck pig. For general excellence they have never been surpassed, to my way of thinking.
"Here's hoping they keep up the good work." Yours very truly, W. W. WHITSELL, Manager, Pastime Theatre, Eighth Avenue, New York City.
"We wish to state that your two-reel Century comedies are the best comedies we have had and please our patrons at each showing. Only wish is that we could get them for all our shows, for we know they are the best.
Yours truly,
V. E. BASS,
Bradentown, Fla.
"It is not my habit to offer commendation on any of the various services that go to complete my regular program, however, when the exception presents itself, I can hardly resist giving special credit where such is due.
And so I do not hesitate to voice my sincerest praise of Universal's Century comedies for a consistently successful series of laugh producers and business getters they are hard to beat. .. I believe I know, because I tried them all.
Here's hoping they keep up the high quality," Sincerely,
S. COHEN,
Windsor Theatre, 823 Third Avenue, New York City.
