Cohn Leaves Shortly |:cial to THE FILM DAILY) |Angeles — Jack Cohn expects soon for New York. ho," New Hughes Picture |[t Hughes has changed the "Law Against Law" to They Didn't Want to, But We Made 'Em— LAUGH A distributor called us up after reading our "They Laughed Like !" advertisement in the Sunday Telegraph. "How many expressions did you get in your mail as a result of your 'test showing'?" he asked. "About two hundred," we told him. "All complimentary?" "Of course not," we admitted to his surprise, "THEY DIDN'T WANT TO LAUGH BUT WE MADE 'EM— and they admit it." And they did laugh — those four hundred representative' big business men — Columbia University alumni — professors and scientists. Some of them disagreed with us — knocked us hard for daring to "jazz" the lines of Richard Brinsley Sheridan's masterpiece in the sub-titles of "The School For Scandal." BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT THE PICTURE MADE 'EM LAUGH. And if we made the highbrows chuckle — roar like kids and stamp their feet — what'll we do when the picture plays to THE MASS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LAUGH ! We've sent "The School For Scandal," back to the workshop for a little more of that stuff that made 'em laugh. Want to or not, YOU TOO are going to LAUGH and LOVE The School for Scandal I 347 MADISON AVE. NY. SIG. SCHLAGER gen'l mob.
