Moving Picture World magazine for May 4, 1918 says “FAMILY THEATRE BRIGHTENS - Samuel Carver has opened the Family moving picture theatre, Buffalo, which was closed for several weeks. Besides pleasing his patrons with good pictures Mr. Carver has also installed for their benefit a Wurlitzer theatre orchestra, Style V. A large sign announces that the orchestra has been installed. W. P. Tanney, Wurlitzer manager in Buffalo, placed the order”.
The June 1, 1918 issue of Motography also mentions Samuel Carver and the Family Theatre.
“SAMUEL CARVER PRAISES FILM - "The Planter” was certainly a knockout", writes Samuel Carver of the Family Theatre, Buffalo, to Mutual Films. “The crowd enjoyed it immensely. In fact, it is one of the best productions I’ve seen and my house took it with a vim. I played to a capacity house on it Sunday and had the mob jammed down the aisles during the evening. I’m seriously considering rebooking it for a return trip”.
Mr. Carter (sic, ed) expresses the consensus of opinion of exhibitors who have shown “The Planter”….“ (The rest of the article is about the movie and Tyrone Power.)
