THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY— ''Just a Word to You Mr, Exhibitor on my Latest Pictures'' I want you to do me the personal favor of seeing my latest picture— "BREAD"— to be released as a UNIVERSAL SPECIAL ATTRACTION. I want you to note the character of plot, the startling contrast between the old New England Spinsters and the Bohemian fast set of New York. I want you to see whether or not the action, scenes and sets in the exposure of Gotham's gilded palaces rings true or not. I want you to note the wardrobe worn by myself and Miss Fox as well as others throughout the picture. I want you to see the truthful way we have screened the expose, of how the Million Dollar Show Girlies live and love. You recall my first production, "SHOES." Do you remember what Exhibitors said about the title* being weak — wouldn't pull, etc., etc. If you played that picture you surely recall the splendid results you had. No doubt you also recall my picture, "Saving the Family Name," also "Idle Wives" and "The Mysterious Mrs. M." In spite of the fact that many Exhibitors have told me personally that all these pictures were winners, I still believe my latest picture, "BREAD," is the best of them all. At least, I want you to see it and pass your opinion. I am cast for several new productions that will equal or surpass any of my former efforts. Watch for them, and in the meantime go and see "BREAD." It's a UNIVERSAL SPECIAL ATTRACTION. Cordially yours.
