■ “Hey, Kids! Hurry Up! Gaumont!” You can just hear the bright little chap shouting to his playmates. He’s the best advertisement you can have. He went to the children’s matinee last week, and now he’s passing on the good word about GAUMONT SINGLE-REELS Get all the children’s admission money you can. It helps pay the rent, and the children will be steady patrons for you in years to come. You can bring them back week after week with Gaumont pictures, they’re GREAT for children. “Reel Life” is a big winner; it’s chock full of stuff for the kiddies. The Gaumont-Mutual Weekly interests them in history in the making. “Tours Around the World” shows them fascinating foreign lands. “See America First” instills love of country; and with it is a Gaumont Kartoon Komic so screamingly funny that the children almost fall off their seats laughing. The Better Films Committee of the Illinois Congress of Mothers endorses these pictures. The Fordham Theatre, Bronx, N.Y., is making a hit with some of them. Wise exhibitors everywhere are using them. Whenever a mothers’ or teachers’ com¬ mittee confers with you, you are always safe when you offer them all the Gaumont Single-Reels. The best thing you can say is, “I am show¬ ing them every day NOW and pleasing my patrons.” ORDER FROM YOUR MUTUAL BRANCH TODAY ont Q FLUSHING, N.Y. Of \U TO REEL LIFE — Page Fifteen
