& Big Clientele Is Consistently Taking Mutuals
Consistent standard of productions and „service beyond
the film“ is claimed by Mutual to have developed
a clientele which books that company‘s pictures year
in and year out.
G. W. Ziegenfelder, manager of the Princess theatre
in Piqua, Ohio, is one of „Mutual‘s family.“ In a recent
letter to Mutual, he says:
„I have been using Mutual productions ever since they
were first released and I have found them good,
wholesome, clean comedies and dramas that are acceptable
to ladies, gentlemen and children, besides stars
that are box office magnets themselves.

& Chaplin Film „Ruins“ Theater
The Mutual Film Corporation has received the following
letter, which has been handed to the legal department for
settlement:
Princess Theater
Piqua, Ohio, January 2, 1917
Mr. D. J. Sullivan, Mutual Film Corporation, Chicago, Ill.:
We presented your picture entitled „The Rink,“
featuring Charles Chaplin in our theater last night. Persistent
laughter and shouting on the part of the audience
brought down most the house. The plaster fell off the ceiling
and part of the floor sagged.
We have been showing pictures may years without
loss of life or damage to property. The Rink has
proved a menace to real estate improvement, and the result
of one day‘s run has cost us considerable outlay
in repairs. We enclose plasterer‘s and carpenter‘s bills.
We would appreciate a check by return mail. –
Yours sincerely, Manager Princess Theater.
