EXHIBITORS HERALD AND MOTOGRAPHY "DRIVES HOME THE FACT That Motion Pictures Have 'Arrived'"— this is what the CHICAGO AMERICAN says about THE BETRAYAL Story and Production by J. A. BARRY A Wonderfully Thrilling Motion Picture Drama With Special Music By Joseph C. Breil, which opened Monday, May 5, for a Feature Engagement at the ILLINOIS THEATRE Jackson Boulevard near Michigan Avenue, CHICAGO At the time this edition goes to press it is too early to print extracts from all the reviews or to give you a line on the Box Office. What Evidence We Have is Simply Great! The opening day audiences were big and gave the show a rousing reception Here are extracts from the first criticisms to reach us: The Herald and Examiner: "It tells the story of a country's crisis with an exciting romance as a plot thread that spreads a live and tingling epoch before you. * * * Love scenes spot it, a well told story embraces every foot of it and the climax is a far far better wallop than the serials can show." The A merican: "It's a great story of historic interest, cleverly directed and acted. It has thrills enough for a sixteen week serial.* * * It seems like thirty minutes instead of one hour and a half, and that is the answer to anyone who wants to know what kind of a picture it is." 15
