Showing The New York trade will be given an opportunity to see Russell Productions' seven-reel classic, " Shadows of Conscience," which W. D. Russell will bring to the city, Monday October 10th, for private exhibition. This feature, which has had two previous auspicious trade showings, in Los .\ngeles and in Chicago, has won the approval of hundreds of experienced showmen. It is in all respects the most pretentious offering ever made by this company. On Thursday night, September 22, " Shadows of Conscience " was shown at the difficult hour of midnight, at Graumont's Million DoK lar Theatre, Los Angeles, to about two thousand persons — the trade, the profession, the press and the public were all represented and the enthusiasm with which it was received was a revelation even t > those most vitally interested in success. Bernie Russell, who production manager at the stud lost no time in bringing the print t ^ Chicago, which is distribution headquarters for the company, and arranging for an immediate pre-view for exhibitors of the Middle West. .Accordingly, the picture was presented at Barbee's Loop Theatre, Thursday morning at 11 .A. M.. where about two hundred gathered to see it. The occasion was a double reassurance as to the merits of the production, as representatives of the industry and the trade and daily press pronounced it a feature of decided artistic as well as box-office value.
