March 4, 1922 EXHIBITORS HERALD 13 A Picture for All Who Want to be Rich This unique drama tells a story that will interest all types of people. The hero is the leader of his fellow workmen. Overnight he becomes a millionaire. The undermining influence of great wealth alters him. He thirsts for more wealth, more power and social position. He throws over his working girl sweetheart and marries an aristocrat. He becomes "superior" to his fellow workers. Then the climax — and what a smash it is — a mob of workmen, his friends, attack him and the girl he abandoned gives him the safety of her home. Scenically this picture is extraordinary. There are numbers of shots of the hero's castle and scenes showing envious society people helping him to spend his wealth. Their efforts to get some of his money and his attempts to seem accustomed to wealth provide plenty of humor. The public cries for novelty. Give it to your patrons.
