      New York City.

      Gentlemen:

      You will be interested to know what I did with Carmen.

      Well, there were three surprises.

      First, the high class of patrons attracted, inclusive of Governor

Johnson himself.

      Second, the smashing of all box office records.

      Third, that Sacramento is a good picture

town if you give them the goods.

      Any picture that will attract like this is cheap at the price.

      We lined them up as early as 7:30 and kept them

that way for five days.

      If you have any more at home like Carmen save them for.

      Yours very truly

      Actograph Theatre.
