We are in thfe market for SHORT SUBJECTS For the territory of New York State & No. New Jersey SERVICE FILM CORP. 729-7th Ave. N. Y. City Bryanl 3377 As Simon Legree? How Silly! It takes a lotta brains to get by in the film business and just as many brains to get a buy. For example, suppose we had bought the rights to "Uncle Tom" from Avery Hopwood for Benny Leonard and then tried to peddle the piece as high class farce comedy. The chances is that the wise lads around the aged Forties and infant Fifties on Broadway would have figured that Benny Leonard was about as good in ''Uncle Tom" as a snake would be in a toe dance, and 'd give the buy the bye-bye. Now, that's where the brains come in. It didn't take us no more'n a month to figure out that Leonard wasn't cut out for a Legree. By a happy chance we started him in some two-reel comedies dealing with boxing among other valuable things, so now it works out this way: if you want a good laugh tie up with the "Flying Fists" series; if you wanna be laughed at, don't. We should care. Tou shoiildrit, should n' t you .^ E Ask Henry Ginsberg, 1540 Broadway, about the Leonard Series. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii^^ ^ I
