AN APPEAL
TO THE FAIR-MINDED, SQUARE-DEALING GENTLEMEN OF THE DISTRIBUTING COMPANIES WHO WILL RELEASE AND EXPLOIT MY LATEST PRODUCTION BEARING THE WORKING TITLE OF j

It measures up to the highest standards of elegance, of careful detail, of perfect cast, of beautiful photography, of distinction and originality in the treatment of the story, of all of those elements which make for a truly great picture — one that will make film history.

I am now calling upon all fair-minded distributors and exhibitors who are familiar with my work to see that such credit is given when this picture reaches them.
