“ ‘Merry Go Round’ was the only picture played in our house that increased on the second over the first, and on the third over the second day’s showing, and gave truly 100 per cent, satisfaction.” Mr. Choynski, NEWBERRY THEATRE, Chicago, 111.
“It is a great pleasure for me to be one of the fortunate ones who were able to show ‘Merry Go Round.’ Considering the location of my Circle Theatre, I can sincerely say that there was not another picture in all my experience on which I received so many wonderful comments.”
M. Printz, THE CIRCLE THEATRE, Cleveland, Ohio.
“Wish to say that I, personally, regard this picture as one of the best given to the screen during 1923. Patrons of the Regent and Miles Theatres in which we played this subject thought very well of it and all of them fell in love with Mary Philbin and her work.”
George E. Guise, General Manager C. H. MILES DETROIT THEATRES, Dertoit, Mich.
“I feel it my duty to express myself that you may know how fully I appreciate this production and that any doubting small-town exhibitor may take advantage of my experience. ‘Merry Go Round’ is all that is claimed for it, and more. It surely was 100 per cent, audience picture, which should be shown in every town that has a moving picture theatre.”
M. S. Patterson, Manager SWETLAND OPERA HOUSE, Maryville, N. Y.

“It is one of the finest pictures I have ever seen. The picture as a whole pleased the masses, for the reason it contains pathos, action, humor, sensationalism and a delicious love theme, which makes a 100 per cent, attraction 1”
H. B. Clarke, Manager GARING THEATRE, Greenville, S. C.
“It was without a doubt one of the finest productions of 1923. From a box-office angle it was very satisfactory and would like to go on record as being more than pleased with the service that was extended to us by the Buffalo office, they having done their utmost to make it so.”
H. Lorence, Manager BELLEVUE THEATRE CORPORATION, Niagara Falls, N. Y.
“Our showing of ‘Merry Go Round’ was a complete success from every standpoint. It is such pictures as these that raise the standard of our industry and give our theatre the prestige which we desire in our community.”
H. V. Smoots, VINE THEATRE, Mt. Vernon, N. Y.
“We are pleased to advise a sensational success with this noteworthy feature. ‘Merry Go Round’ not only got the money, but thoroughly satisfied the crowds, who paid to see something big, and saw it!”
Rudy Schleusener, TEMPLE THEATRE, ALHAMBRA THEATRE, Alhambra, Calif.
“On November 17, 1923, we had for showing at our theatre the ‘Merry Go Round’ and we take this opportunity to let you know that it is one of the biggest drawing cards of the year!”
J. J. Hubka, NEWTON FALLS THEATRE, Newton Falls, N. Y.
