Exhibitors Herald (Dec 1922 - Mar 1923)

JINeW years WE announce herewith to the Exhibitors of North America a group of powerful, ably-made, popular productions of character and box-office value; each picture sold alone on its own independent rating in keeping with its true value to the theatre that is to present it. These productions constitute our releases for the second quarter of the 1922-1923 season and again assist in stamping American Releasing Corporation as one of the three big, dependable national distributors controlling sufficient product to supply any theatre's complete needs for feature-length attractions. The variety of this second quarter's output is equal to that of the biggest factors in the industry. All of these productions are completed and already in or on the way to our branch offices. "THE BOHEMIAN GIRL," Harley Knoles' tremendously beautiful romance. This is one of three great productions of the past two years. It ranks with "Robin Hood" and "When Knighthood Was In Flower." A cast never exceeded in any picture. Beautiful Gladys Cooper, Ivor Novello, Constance Collier, Ellen Terry, C. Aubrey Smith. Griffith has just signed Novello for his next big special. Novello will be the successor to Valentino in popularity. Gladys Cooper is the greatest screen discovery of the year. Exhibitors will remember Aubrey Smith in "The Witching Hour" and Novello in "Carnival." Women fans will rave over him. "THE GRUB-STAKE," Nell Shipman's tremendous new drama of Alaska. This production was written by Miss Shipman and directed by Bert Van Tuyle, with Miss Shipman herself codirecting. The splendid cast supporting Miss Shipman includes: Alfred Allen, Walt Whitman, George Berrell, Hugh Thompson, George Hernandez and C. K. Van Auker. The big, basic situation in this picture is the refusal at first of an Alaskan gambler to grub-stake a Seattle girl for a trip into Alaska, his later decision to stake her; his deception of the girl; his tricking her into marriage; the effort of this gambler to rid himself of the girl's father, and the flight of the girl and her father through the Alaskan wastes, and their final discovery of the famous Lost Valley and its big gold desposits. In this picture you see Alaska in all of its primitive wildness and rawness, with the biggest and truest picture of the country that we have ever seen in a motion picture. It has the "sourdough" atmosphere in every inch of it and the picture will stand tremendous exploitation, which it invites and encourages. "THE MARRIAGE CHANCE." A Hampton Del Ruth comedy with a dramatic shock. A finer cast in one picture than some distributors have in a year's output. Lovely Alta Allen, Milton Sills, Henry B. Walthall, Tully Marshall, Mitchell Lewis and Irene Rich. Look at the reviews in the trade papers. Look at Harrison's Reports. See our trade advertisements. Here is a surprise picture with comedy, melodrama, mystery and a cast to brag about. "THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER," Mark Twain's immortal romance. Pre-released since October. At its Minneapolis premier week of November 19th it stood the town on its ear and received tremendous exploitation. For gross we predict that this picture will top everything you have played recently in public satisfaction. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiM mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmKmm\ WALTER E.
