Praises Universal for Chance
To Share Profits on Tryon Film
<{"p\LAYED ‘Painting the Town’ \~ Saturday, August 13th, and broke all Saturday records in the midst of the summer slump,” wrote R. W. Phelan recently to T. 0. Tuttle, manager of the Universal Exchange in Charleston, W. Va. Mr. Phelan manages the Star Theatre, Clendenin, W. Va.
“It certainly is a pleasure to do business with a company like Universal,” he continued. “When they make a big picture they give you a chance to share the profits. How many others do this?
“I understand we get another ‘Glenn Tryon’ as a substitute in the new block. This will be good news for every exhibitor.”
W. L. Casey Believes Complete Service Is Only Real Buy
(t A FTER having this Service explained to me cannot see how any independent exhibitor can turn it down, for am convinced it is the one and only real buy and want to thank you sincerely for making such possible.”
— W. L. Casey
Rex Amusement Co., Bonners Ferry, Idaho.
Not only are exhibitors to get another Glenn Tryon picture but two more. “Hot Heels” comes in the regular schedule and “The Flying Nut” will be offered in place of some other story. And if Mr. Phelan thinks one more Glenn Tryon is good news, he probably will be tickled to death to know that there are two more to come.
Business Picking Up with C. S. C., Writes Brockhaus
t < "|UST want to tell you that I am I well pleased with the product ** under our new complete service contract, and if it continues the way it started out it will have the other former contracts backed off the map, for business is picking up with it, and the more I study and compare the line-up with what other firms offer the better I feel about it.
“Also want to compliment Universal on their services and assure you that I appreciate the co-operation and thanking you for your suggestion and help.”
— H. W. Brockhaus,
Tripoli Opera House Assn., Tripoli, la.

HE Dempsey pictures are playI ing to packed houses every Saturday night. Last Saturday we turned over 100 people away. This is the first time in months that such a thing has happened in Cedar City. Good luck to you and your Universal Company.”

Universal Pictures Are the Only Ones Making Him Money
<(VT OUR Complete Service Con| tract is the best buy I have ever made and can say they are the only pictures that are making me money. And may I say your pictures are in the best shape always. My theatre would not have been complete without your Service Contract.”
