ON at 4.32, 20min.  “The Mechanical Statue”, a fair comic film.  “Customs Officers and Smugglers”, quite interesting, and sensational in spots.  “The Wind Doth Blow”, very good comic, extravagant of course, but gets the laughs.   It is getting pretty hard work these days to get films ahead of the 5 and 10-cent shows, and I wish that some way could be devised so that the Circuit could control new films for a certain length of time, but I suppose this is impossible, as Mr. Waters tells me that the manufacturers have even better customers than he; that is, people who will buy more feet of new films than he can.
