D MOUND I NORMAN KERRY Return Bookings Necessary To Take Care of Big Crowds J~\ ETURN engagements for Universal's tremendous Superiy Jewel, "Merry Go Round," are pouring in at an almost unbelievable rate. Proctor's Theatre, Mt. Vernon, has already played a return engagement of "Merry Go Round" less than two weeks after its first playing to even bigger crowds than at the first showing. The Palace Theatre of New Britain, Conn., wires that it has "booked return engagement," and Mr. E. A. Weaver of the Osage Theatre, Shidler, Okla., writes, "I would be very glad indeed if I could secure this picture again." Run the surprise sensation of the year once, and you'll run it again! It's that kind of box-office clean-up. "Broke all records by twice the business of any previous picture," is the triumphant verdict of The GRIZZLY THEATRE, Pine Knot, Calif. "Packed them in against the strongest kind of opposition," reports The COLONIAL THEATRE, Port Arthur, Ont. "We played it to increased prices, $1.00 top. Entirely satisfactory as regards gross receipts and otherwise,* advises The EMPIRES THEATRES, LTD., of Saskatoon, Sask., Can. Just a Word to Exhibitors Who Haven^t Played This Winner Everywhere, in every class of theatre in every size town, regardless of competition or weather, "MerryGo-Round," Universal's tremendous Super-Jewel, continues to break old box-office records and establish new box-office records. 1 Have you booked the surprise sensation of the year yet ? If not, you are robbing yourself of big money, disappointing your patrons who have heard of, read of, and talked about this remarkable picture. The profits are sure — and large. See your Universal Exchange NOW! "Broke all box-office records. Will break box -office records all over the country,'' writes The PRINCESS THEATRE, Sausalito, Calif. * * * "Broke all records. Positively largest business ever done in this theatre," says The CAPITOL THEATRE, McKeesport, Pa. + * * "A real special says exhibit4>r Giles Master, STRAND THEATRE, Gallup, New Mexico; "a real good picture. One of the most beautiful stories ever told upon the screen and the picture pleased everybody." * * * "This is one the best pictures that ever adorned the screen. Really great. Something decidedly different. It is lavish. It is big," writes William Noble, CRITERION THEATRE, Oklahoma City, Okla.. to the Moving Picture Worlds * * * "We have given the public the greatest satisfaction they ever had," writes The NEW PALACE THEATRE, Moline, III if if if '■Broke all preceding records of any picture that ever played Kitchener or The Lyric Theatre." reports The LYRIC THEATRE, New Britain, Conn. yeninq Post ^ Directed by Rupert Julian i
