A @smopolitan THE BIGGEST HIT ON BROADWAY IN A YEAR 'The Woman God Changed" opened to a capacity audience at the Rivoli, last Sunda; the hottest, clear day this year. The critics of all the New York papers went crazy about it. And remember, M William Randolph Hearst, owner of Cosmopolitan Productions, publishes the two leadin New York papers, and competes with all of the other papers. Rival papers surely wouldn't call "The Woman God Changed" a hit unless it was hit beyond the shadow of a doubt. N. Y. World says: "We peer into the future of motion picture production when we chance to behold so gripping and so fascinating a cinema play as 'The Woman God Changed.* It can be seen two or even three times with mounting interest at each visit. It ought to remain at the Rivoli for months. N, Y. Evening Globe says: "Seena Owen is even more charming when reformed than when picturesquely unregenerated. Rich in warm, glamorous photography." N. Y, Mail says : "An exceedingly fine film — a story that unfolds with a splendid appreciation of values logically, sincerely—never drifting — court-room scene one of the finest of its kind. Seena Owen is splendid, dividing honors with E. K. Lincoln." N. Y. Evening Telegram says: || " 'The Woman God Changed' develops to point where the problem becomes a climax to i followed by another climax. "A unique piece of screen creation — an intc esting story fascinating in itself, serving ais an intr duction to a greater story." Morning Telegraph says: ^ "A first class attraction . . . one of the be feature photodramas released in some time." N. Y. Tribune says: "It*s a great picture. From the moment tl court room scene flashed on the screen no one in tl theatre coughed, moved around or whispered. Fa cinating right from the start. It's ingenious." kr^g'Woman Its <XCf>aramountg>icture Presented Ay Famous Player3-Lasky Corporation.
