Our picture will make exhibitors wealthy, and customers healthy and wise — Your customers should worry ! IN HOLLYWOOD From Cloaks and Suits to Filmirtfe "Beauts." Somewhere there's a Producer who is interested in what happens to his product after it leaves the studio — who appreciates that the creation of photoplays is one thing and their sale and distribution another — yet is too busily engaged in the former to watch the latter. He wants a capable, conscientious man to represent and protect his interests — one who really does know wtat every theatre in the land should and will pay for pictures and will check contracts accordingly— who can diplomatically cooperate with his distributing agency on sales promotion— in short, a man who can supervise the sale, exploitation and distribution of his product "from studio to scr<;en," and be a profitable investment, not an expense. If you are that producer, I'm that man. Apply Box 217 care of Film Daily, 71 W. '44th St., N. Y. C. Released January 4th ll^eveiybo^ says OmVffiSALnclllRB arethebestboyinsunit Stcuuiiita^ LINCOLN J. CARTERS SensdmaUg thriUing tneladiwm h ini sho TOB^APQ With an all star supporting cast A King Baggot Production Hew ing mon tnce To make the statement that House Peters would star in a greater picture than "The Storm" would be a broad assertion. However, in "The Tornado" Carl Laemmle presents a screen melodrama that gives House Peters the greatest production of his career. "The Tornado," adapted from the famous Lincoln J. Carter melodrama, which was one of the most popular of its Idnd on the American stage a few years ago, is chuck full of action, romance, thrills, suspense and ha^ a fast moving plot, that will hold you spellbound until the last fade-out. The sensationally thrilling climax in which a tornado and cloudburst sweep the country, carrying away a big log boom, wrecking a raifroad bridge and sending a train to destruction, probably has never been equalled before on the screen. House Peters, the star of the production, is undoubtedly the greatest exponent of a "he-man" character on the screen. The millions who remember him in "The Storm" will flock to see him in "The Tornado." The supporting cast covdd not be bettered. It includes Ruth Clifford, remembered for her excellent work in "Butterfly;" Kate Price, Snitz Edwards, Dick Sutherland and Jackie Morgan. The dramatic qualities of "The Tornado" are heightened by the majestic scenic backgrounds of a location in the wilds of Idaho, which has never been recorded before on the screen. "The Tornado" is a super-dramatic production that will bring super-record breaking crowds. Nationally Advertised in The Saturday Evening Post.
