My audience was very well pleased and told me so. Bought the picture at a right price. Ran two days; first day big, second day off. Used ones, sixes, photos. Don't overlook the six sheet. It will get you extra money. If you advance prices this will stand a small advance with a comedy. We run it at our usual price. Admission 10-20. William Thatcher, Royal Theatre, Salina, Kansas.
