MORE UNITS OF POWERFUL AUTHORS
In keeping with these producing elements that have placed their distribution in the hands of W. W. Hodkinson, there are still other powerful author units whose productions we control and will offer to the exhibitors of America.
Harry Raver, a producer of fine ideals and further equipped with the capacities of a splendid showman, is producing for Hodkinson distribution with his Four-Star organization the plays and novels of
AUGUSTUS THOMAS
America's foremost dramatist and former President of The Authors' League of America. The powers of this brilliant author are further intensified by the inclusion in the Four-Star elements of production of the abilities of Mr. Raver as the Producer, Mr. Thomas as the Author, Miss Leah Baird as the Star and the genius of Mr. George Irving as the Director.
This organization is not a prospectus, but an organization of achieved productions with the celebrated stage success, "As A Man Thinks," already released for the screen and "The Volcano ' completed and ready to be scheduled for release.
Still Another Unit
is the Sunset Pictures Corporation, starring Mr. House Peters, a long established favorite, in stories of recognized popularity with scenarios and all production details laid down under the skilled attention of the W. W. Hodkinson literary department. The first big author production of this Hodkinson unit is "You Never Know Your Luck" by
SIR GILBERT PARKER
This announcement of the scope of the W. W. Hodkinson Corporation's preparations for the current summer and the year ahead reveal our immediate readiness to provide the big firstrun theatres of the nation with productions in keeping with the importance of the theatres seeking them, and also will indicate to exhibitors that they are in no danger of being squeezed by the contending elements seeking to control the motion picture industry on the basis of selfishness instead of^merit.
