OF INTEREST TO THE EXHIBITOR
NEVER REGRETTED IT.
Universal Weekly.
Gentlemen : — I have not written yon for over a year, but that does not mean that I have gone back on the Universal Program, rather the contrary. As the quality of the program has increased, so has my admiration for it.
St. John, N. B., being my nearest exchange, I get my service from there and receive splendid treatment from the manager, Mi. A. A. Margetts I have uot been over to see him yet, but intend d >ing so soon, as I like to ge* acquaiat d with the exchange manager I do business with.
I started using your program when the company was first formed. I have never regretted it. The improvement since then has been wonderful. You certainly deserve to succeed.
I finished "Lucille Love" about a month ago. It was a winner for me ; in fact, it put new life into my business. I will show Series No. 3, "The Trey o' Hearts", Monday and Tuesday. It is bringing me more business than "Lucille Love", and that's going some. My patrons can hardly wait until Monday comes. I use the story in one of the newspapers here, The Patriot. I had to get the plates for it, and while it costs more money, duty, express, etc., it's well worth it.
The only trouble I experience is variety in my features ; have not had a King Baggot feature since July. I realize though, that there is not the business down this way that there is further West of us, Quebec and Ontario, so I have to have patience until they come this way.
Keep up the good work. Yours very truly, C. J. GALLAGHER, Manager,
Prince Edward Theatre, Charlottetown, P. E.

WILL HAVE TO
ENLARGE_ THEATRE.
Universal Weekly,
New York.
Gentlemen : — I want to boost the Universal service. It is beyond doubt the best on earth.
The "Lucille Love" was a winner, but "The Trey o' Hearts" gets them all. If "The Master Key" is any better we will certainly have to enlarge our building.
Those not using the Big U service had better get in line at once.
Universally yours,
S. F. ROLPH, Manager,

NO FEATURES FOR HIM.

Bryson, Mgr.,
Laemmle Film Service.
Minneapolis, Minn. Dear Bryson : — If you ever in your life saw a fellow who was disgusted with the special features of a concern who you would think could put out good stuff, it is me. You, of course, know that I have been more or less of a feature man and am yet, but with the class of stuff this concern is putting out, there is not an exhibitor on earth who can afford to run them in preference to his regular pro gram. Honestly, I wouldn't trade the poorest Universal two-reeler for a cer tain feature I have on today, and, mind you, they have gall enough to ask a fellow to pay $25 per day for it. I nm sick and disgusted with -them.
l'ours very truly,
g. w. Mclaughlin. Mgr.,
Orpheum Theatre. Eau Claire, Wis.
