392 MOVING PICTURE WORLD September 30, 1922 tion. A picture that will go anywhere, good acting. Good settings. Advertising; big newspaper, six ones, slide. Patronage; small town. Attendance; fair. H. I. Per- kins, Dixie Theatre, Bastrop, Texas. GOOD PROVIDER. An exceptional pic- ture, but not as good as "Humoresque." Don't pay too much for it. I lost money. H. D. Whatton, Pastime Theatre, Warren, Arkansas. GREAT IMPERSONATION. Very good picture but did not draw very well here. Weather was very hot. Advertising; in- sert cards, one sheet, regular lobby. Pa- tronage; mixed. Attendance; fair. D. Buss, Star Theatre, Tonawanda, New York. GREEN TEMPTATION. Betty Comp- son. Excellent; although the picture has been shown here previously it continued to please a big business. Wm. Noble, Rialto Theatre, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. JAILBIRD. A fair picture, nothing more. Not a very funny comedy and no comparison to ''ISyi Hours Leave." Ad- vertising; ordinary. Patronage; rural. Attendance; fair. L, P. Frisbee, Commu- nity Theatre, Meredith, New York. MAN FROM HOME. A well produced, carefully directed film. An excellent cast and beautiful backgrounds. None of the six cast had a special box office appeal here but those who saw the picture went away well pleased. Advertising; usual. Attend- ance; fair. Dave Seymour, Pontiac The- atre Beautiful, Saranac Lake, New York. MISTRESS OF THE WORLD. Good en- tertainment, four episodes, keep them coming and make money for us. Rental right. Advertising; one, six and threes, photos. Patronage; small town. Attend- ance; good. Elmer E. Stearns, Dewtell Theatre, South Dayton, N. Y. OVER THE BORDER. Good winter scenes; fine action picture. Not so good in Canada where we have real Royal Mounted Police. Advertising; newspapers, photos, slide, posters. Patronage; general. At- tendance; fair. C. L. Querris, Palace The- atre, Toronto, Canada. OVER THE BORDER. Fairly good. Snow stufif extra fine. Compson miscast but Moore does fine. Several very notice- able blunders in plot. Advertising; usual. Patronage; small town. Attendance; fair. Marsden & Noble, Noble Theatre, Marsh- field, Oregon. SENTIMENTAL TOMMY. It's a joke for a small town. Don't see how big town folks can like it; they are just coun- try people, too. It was a lemon for me, too long, as most of them are that are more than five reels. Can't see where they get "big" out of this. Patrons kidded me about it. Advertising; big, newspaper, six ones, slide. Patronage; small town. At- tendance; poor. H. I. Perkins, Dixie The- atre, Bastron, Texas. THE SHEIK. Pleased 100 percent. Had to hang out S. R. O. sign. Heavy down- pour did not keep them away. Advertising; usual. Thos. L. Haynes, Town Hall The- atre. Old Lyme, Connecticut. THE SHEIK. Pleased 100 percent. Print in terrible condition and there should be some penalty on an exchange which sends out subjects in this condition. Advertising; twenty-four, one and 3, newspapers and heralds. Patronage; small town. Attend- ance; fair. H. L. Bennett, Victoria The- atre, Parsons, W. Va. SHAM. Splendid little picture, not too long as most of them are. Will please ninety-five percent. Advertising; six ones, slide, sidewalk signs. Patronage; small town. Attendance; poor. H. I. Perkins, Dixie Theatre, Bastrop, Texas. True Blue A fellow worth while is D. W. Strayer, Monarch Theatre, Mt. Joy, Pa. He says: "I'll continue to send reports and they'll be honest ones, too. Yours for suc- cess to the ambitions of the de- partment." The ambitions of the depart- ment are to make and keep friends like Mr. Strayer and to serve you all with the best film reports from honest folks. TRUTH CONQUERS. Like all foreign pictures we use it fails to please. Why a company like Famous Players depreciates their usual good stufif with these is beyond my comprehension. Mina May, the star, is very poor. Attendance; poor. L. M. Zug, Rialto Theatre, Jerome, Idaho. TRUTHFUL LIAR. Light drama with nothing exceptional. A good evening's en- tertainment, nothing more or less. Wanda is taking on weight lately. Business good due to a street car strike. Chas. H. Ryan, Garfield Theatre, Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois. WORLD'S CHAMPION. A good one of Wallie Rcid. Pleased all my patrons. Reid is a good draw for me. Advertising; ones, photos, window cards. Patronage; general. Attendance; extra good. R. Ma- son Hall, Grand Theatre, Northfork, W. \'irginia, THE WHISTLE. The best Hart ever made. It takes a deep soul that Hart can- not reach the bottom of in this production. A beautiful story. Can't say too much of the human appeal. Advertising; average. Patronage; mixed. Attendance; good. E. J. Bregger, Gem Theatre, Crystal Falls, Michigan. Selznick VALLEY OF DOUBT. Good picture of the North, but do not boost this one; just an entertaining picture. Advertising; ones, threes, slide. Patronage; small town. .Attendance; good. D. W. Strayer, Mon- arch Theatre, Mt. Joy, Pennsylvania. United Artists IRON TRAIL. A carefully produced, well liked picture. Advertising, usual. Patronage, health seekers and tourists. Attendance, good. Dave Seymour, Pontiac Theatre Beautiful, Saranac Lake, New York. THREE MUSKETEERS. This Douglas Fairbanks picture is a film classic that all sorts of business should be done on; it's merely up to the exhibitor. Advertising, usual, with mailing list. Patronage, health seekers and tourists. Attendance, big. Dave Seymour, Pontiac Theatre Beautiful, Saranac Lake, New York. Universal STEP ON IT. Talk about your Saturday program—this is a knockout! The six sheet alone is worth what you pay for the pic- ture and the picture will please all Western followers, 100 per cent. If you have not played it you owe it to yourself to book it today if you have any Western followers. Order some extra six sheets. Patronage, all classes. Attendance, overflowing. M. F. Schnibben, Opera House, Florence, South Carolina. THE TRAP. Good, clean picture. Lon Chaney wonderful. Advertising, one six, three ones, window cards, heralds. Patronage, small town. Attendance, good. E. E. Stearns, Dewtell Theatre, South Dayton, New York. THE TROUPER. Just ordinary. Adver- tising, one sheets. Patronage, general. Attendance, good. R. Mason Hall, Grand Theatre, Northfork, West Virginia. WILD HONEY. Greatest water scene ever seen in pictures here. The scene of the water rushing on Miss Dean and her hero will make anyone sit up and take notice, and stay awake at night wondering how it was done without killing the star. It puts the real punch in the picture. Patronage, high class. Attendance, fairly good. M. F. Schnibben, Opera House, Florence, South Carolina. Vitagraph SILENT VOW. Splendid. If your pat- rons like Duncan, by all means give them this one. It will please any type of audi- ence. Advertising, sixes, threes, ones, slides, Patronage, neighborhood. Attendance, good. W. E. Elkin, Temple Theatre, Aber- deen, Mississippi. SILENT VOW. Pictures like this always please, the action and scenery in this pic- ture will win its own way anywhere. It has a good plot and is well produced. Patronage, very best. Attendance, very good. M. F. Schnibben, Opera House, Florence, South Carolina. TOO MUCH BUSINESS. Comedy drama; not a box-office picture. Average business. TuUy Marshall well suited to character he portrays. Good for one day showing. Chas. H. Ryan, Garfield Theatre, Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois. TOO MUCH BUSINESS. Just a fair one; if you don't pay too much for it. Program picture. Advertising, ones, three, photos. Patronage, general. Attendance, fair. R. Mason Hall, Grand Theatre, Northfork, West Virginia. Comedies CIRCUS HEROES (C. B. C). Hallroom Boys comedies are one of the best bets in the comedy line. This one much different from the average. Harold F. Wendt. Rivoli Theatre, Defiance, Ohio. COUNTRY CHICKENS (Educational). A corking good comedy of rural life. New stufif; plenty of laughs. Harold F. Wendt, Rivoli Theatre, Defiance, Ohio. HAUNTED SPOOKS (Pathe). Harold Lloyd scores in this; support excellent. You could hear them roar over in the next town. Howard James, Union Theatre, Voluntown, Connecticut. HIGH FLYERS (Universal). Star come- dies are consistently censorproof; this means much to the exhibtor. They are seldom world beaters but average up well; this one fair. Harold F. Wendt, Rivoli Theatre, Defiance, Ohio. OH, PROMISE ME (Christie ■Educa- tional). A corking good comedy, good enough for the best of picture houses. Chas H. Ryan, Garfield Theatre, Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois. RENT COLLECTOR (Vitagraph). A very good comedy. Pure hokum. The kids went wild over it. Semon is a great favorite with them here. A. La Valla, Com- munity Theatre, Bethel, Connecticut. SAILOR-MADE MAN (Assoc. Ezhib.). Drew third biggest crowd in history of house. One of the best comedies ever made. Kept them laughing for ten minutes after
