The Moving Picture Weekly (1917-1919)

4fr THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY LIKE A WHITE MAN. Bluebird Photoplays, Inc., Detroit, Mich.: Gentlemen — I want to thank you personally for the courtesies extended to me, and further I want to say that you certainly treat an exhibitor like a white man, and further still, your Bluebird photoplays are the best bet for business producers for any theatre. Yours truly, O. E. BRUNE, Mgr. Lincoln Theatre. Paulding, Ohio. WOULD USE THREE A WEEK. Bluebird Photoplays, Inc., Dallas, Texas: Gentlemen — We wish to state that we are under many obligations to Mr. Salles, who has been after us a long time to give the Bluebirds a trial. At last we decided to try any thing one time, and if it tasted good, then try it some more. The result is, we are still running Bluebirds twice a week, and if we could run on Sundays, then we would have a Bluebird picture on that day. Very respectfully, RUNNELS & JONES, Mgrs. Yale Theatre. Groesbeck, Texas. NOT A BAD BLUEBIRD. Bluebird Photoplays, Inc., Chicago, 111.: Gentlemen — After having shown so many of your productions, I know just why it is that "If it's a Bluebird, it's got to be good." It's because of your other slogan, "The Play's the Thing." I've shown practically every feature program on the market. At times the quality of these programs are wonderful. Then again they come pretty bad. In other words, they have no consistent quality. On the other hand, I can't remember having shown a single bad Bluebird in the last three months. Picture for picture, they are away above the other in quality. In other words, Bluebirds can be depended upon for the quality that brings my photoplay patrons back. Sincerely yours, H. SCHOENSTADT & SONS, Theatrical Enterprises. Chicago, 111. ENJOYED IT. Bluebird Photoplays, Inc., Dallas, Texas: Gentlemen — We showed the first Bluebird the other night, and will say that it sure was a fine one, as our patrons all stopped when they came out and spoke about how they enjoyed it. Yours very truly, RUNNELS & JONES. Mgrs. Yale Theatre. Groesbeck, Texas. BLUEBIRD Exhibitors everywhere praise productions which have made money for them and there is every reason why they should. And if they made money for them, they will do the same thing for you. 713-ns Main flu Tell Oily, In<U PLEASES HIS PATRONS. Bluebird Photoplays, Inc., Indianapolis, ind.: Gentlemen — I desire to state at this time that we are more than pleased with the Bluebird picture, and it seems to please my patrons very much. They are getting better all the time. Best wishes. Very truly yours, A. E. BERGER, . Mgr. Royal Theatre. Tell City, Ind. CONSISTENTLY GOOD. Bluebird Photoplays, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pa.: Gentlemen — Please accept my congratulations upon the excellence of your Bluebird Photoplays. I have shown your Bluebirds in my theatre for some time, and find them consistently good — not a good one now and then, but always good, and they always please my patrons, which is the best indication that I know of as to the absolute reliability of Bluebirds. Your service could not be improved upon, as my reels always reach me promptly and in first-class condition. Sincerely yours, IRA ARONSON, Mgr. Cameraphone Theatre. Pittsburgh, Pa. RAIN COULDNT KEEP THEM AWAY FROM "HELL MORGAN'S GIRL." Bluebird Photoplays, Inc., Los Angeles, Cal.: Gentlemen — Last evening I completed an engagement of three days on the Bluebird photoplay, "Hell Morgan's Girl," with Dorothy Phillips as the star. It rained hard every one of the days, so bad each evening I did not look for even ordinary business, but was compelled to hold out people for each second performance each evening long before the usual time and did a packed business every day. I did not advertise it any stronger than for ordinary attractions. The play: Fine! Splendid acting in every role, never had a photoplay with better selected cast. Parts very difficult, but handled superb throughout. Dorothy Phillips, the star, is perfectly w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-1 as the girl and Queen of the Coast. You could not get better lines than you have on advance advertising, for my patrons fairly loved her, even though they knew it was a terribly distasteful role she had to assume. Her support as stated above was perfect, and each principal deserves highest praise. You may book me a return appearance as soon as you have open time. Sincerely yours, JOHN M. ROOT, Mgr. Strand Theatre. Pasadena, Cal. FOLLOWED ADVERTISING. Bluebird Photoplays, Inc., Dallas, Texas: Gentlemen — We have noticed with interest your "Establish a Bluebird Day" advertising, and beg to advise that since your first release, we have not missed one, and by following your advertising policy have made it by far the best day we have. The program, we consider, is excelled by none, and our patrons always ask for more like them. Yours truly, REEDER-COHEN THEATRES. Ballinger, Texas. ENTITLED TO SUCCESS. Bluebird Photoplays, Inc., Denver, Colo.: Gentlemen — I take great pleasure in writing you that the Bluebirds you have been sending us every week are looked for by our patrons and greatly enjoyed by them. The photography, stories and characters are of the best and for real entertainment we like them better pn each release. You are certainly entitled to great success. Yours truly, EDW. ANDERSON, Mgr. Grand Opera House. Pueblo, Colo.
