20 THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY PLEASE ANSWER THIS TODAY : II we stopped releasing two -and three-reel dramas because exhibitors would not pay enough rental to yield us a profit, we have received a number of urgent requests to start releasing them again. DO YOU WANT THEM ? Do you need two or three-reel subjects, particularly of the Western tj^ie? We have them. They are corking good pictures in every respect, but they are NOT five reels long. They are better in story and action than many a five-reeler, but still they are short subjects. I don't know whether enough exhibitors can use them to make it worth our while to release them — and the object of this article is to find out. If you DO want them and CAN use them, simply write or wire me the one word "YES." If you don't answer I will take it for granted that you mean *No." The PICTURES ARE READY to release IF YOU WANT THEM. It's entirely up to you. CARL LAEMMLE lllllllllliillillllilllllllllllillllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllillH^ Write or wire you answer Now ! Or use the Coupon on this page Mr. Carl Laemmle, 1600 Broadway, New York City. I can use a two or three reel drama in my house times a week and will book it if the opportunity is presented. Name _ Theatre CHy _
