VV /MIGHT that NEVER FAILS OSWALD THE RABBIT, -These are good little ca ' toons, and the public seems to like them yet, al• though we have been running them for some time. (Clarke Green, Lake theatre. Upper Lake, Cal. — Small town patronage.) The best cartoon subject we’ve ever used, and we’ve used plenty. (Glen Jennings, Globe theatre, Buena Vista. Va. — Small .town patronage.) Only decent number on the bill for this night, but one can’t build a program around a cartoon. (O. B. Wolfe, Screenland theatre, Nevada. O. — Small town patronage.) “Bull Only.” Oswald always satisfies. Is something different for a change. (Avard J. Sloat, Roseland theatre, Pleasant View, R. I. — ;Summer resort patronage.) “Fishing Fool.” Why comment? You ‘ought to know by this time that all Oswalds are good. (O. B. Wolfe, Screenland theatre, Nevada, O. — Small town patronage.) “Fiery Fireman.” Good. Kids go wild for Oswald. (Avard J. Sloat, Roseland theatre. Pleasant View, R. I. — Summer resort patronage.) “Hold ’Em, Ozzie.” Another good one. This is one series we can depend on. (O. B. Wolfe, Screenland theatre. Nevada. O. — Small town patronage.) “Mississippi Mud.” The kWs all ask when another Oswald will be shown. (Avard J. Sloat, Roseland theatre. Pleasant View, R. I. — Summer resort patronage.) “Sky Scraper.” Good for an entertaining ten minutes any time. (Avard J. Sloat. Roseland theatre, Pleasant View, R. I. — Summer resort patronage.) "Panicky Pancakes.” Ran comedy and feature and this cartoon. This wasn’t expected and seemed to be something extra. Brought laughs and pleased the crowd. (Avard J. Sloat. Roseland theatre, Pleasant View, R. I. — Summer resort patronage.) Each Oswald is better than the last. Hope they don't spoil him with smut. I expect they’ll show him laying a flock of Easter eggs. When they do they’ll miss the kiddies’ little hero. (Carl Veseth, Palace theatre. Malta, Mont. — General patronage.) “Farmyard Follies.” Good — all of these cartoons have been good. (C. E. Eastman, Parkside theatre, Lyons, la. — General patronage.) “Suicide Sheiks.” Fair filler, but didn’t seem to have the usual Oswald punch. (O. B. Wolfe. Screenland theatre. Nevada. O. — Small town patronage.) “Fishing Fools.” These cartoons are always good for a few laughs. (Parkside theatre, Lyons, la.— General patronage.) “Hen Fruit.” As usual, Oswald brings down the house. These are always good, and this one is better yet. (O. B. Wolfe, Screeland theatre. Nevada, O. — Small town patronage.) “Ice Man’s Luck.” Just dandy. (Walter C. Schultz. Walt’s theatre. Kenesaw, Neb. — General patronage.) “Alpine Antics.” The best thing that Universal puts out in the short line. (Parkside theatie Lyons, la. — General patronage.) “Farmyard Follies.” An extra good one. Much fun. (O. B. Wolfe, Screenland theatre, Nevada, O.— Smalf town patronage.) “The Fiery Fireman.” These cartoons are all good. (G. W. Rothrock. Campbell theatre, Macksville, Kan. — General patronage.) Ho! Ho! Another good Oswald cartoon. Lots of laughs. (O. B. Wolfe, Screenland theatre, Nevada, O. — Small town patronage.) “Hold ’Em, Ozzie.” Good as are most of the cartoon comedies. (Ray W. Musselman, Princess theatre, Lincoln, Kan. — General patronage.) Homeless Homer.” As usual, a funny and snappy performance by Oswald. (O. B. Wolfe, Screenland theatre, Nevada, O. — Small town patronage.) “Lumber Jacks.” Very good. (Parkside theatre, Lyons, la.— General patronage.) Very good. (A. Legnon, Smyles theatre, Weeks, La. — Small town patronage.) Suicide Sheiks.” Good Oswald cartoon. (Parkside theatre, Lyons, la. — General patronage.) Excellent. Never fail to draw the plaudits and laughter. Don’t fail to book these, boys. Buy ’em all! They come in half reels. Fine to fill in your specials, etc. (Philip Rand, Rex theatre, Salmon, Idaho. — General patronage.) “Sick Cylinders.” Just average. Not as snappy as most Oswalds. (O. B. Wolfe, Screenland theatre, Nevada, O. — Small town patronage.) Sick Cylinders.” Best eartoons we have ever used. They really laugh at them. (H. E. Drew, Orpheum theatije, Ionia, Mich. — Working class patronage.) South Pole Flight.” Good. The kids cheer when ever we show a cartoon the only part of the a p try to h^^one. T Tern J tie fe ■on, Image.) ' Oswalds and N. Miles :ind. Since that is [they enjoy, we alfeature is hard only fair to give igram. (Dins more, r. Ark Central theatre!s^Tkirk-. Man Ife, onage.l™ (S.
