Moss Empires (bioscope department) have evidently got a good thing in the film of Walter Howard’s play, “The Midnight Wedding.” Their astute manager, Mr. A. J. Tetlow, informs us that the film has already been booked for over 400 theatres and is, in a number of cases, being re. booked on account of its initial success. Exhibitors would do well to look in at the Charing Cross Road establishment in order to obtain narticulars of other “notables” which are promised by this enterprising syndicate. , Original from NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY
