THE MOTION PICTURE NEWS 57 STATE RIGHT BUYERS Are going to make a lot of money out of the newest big release "A BOY AND THE LAW" FEATURING JUDGE WILLIS BROWN AND HIS FAMOUS PARENTAL COURT AND BOY CITY It's the exciting life-story of a really wonderful boy, following him through the persecution of Jews in Russia; imprisonment and escape to the U. S. ; through law defying gang-life here; through the Juvenile Court and a great citizen factory till he becomes the first Mayor of a real City of Boys, and then on to honorable American citizenship. FIVE REELS OF REAL LIFE Just the kind of feature every manager is waiting for — true, exciting, and at the same time educational and uplifting. It will appeal to boys, girls, men and women alike. The most successful feature film Selig ever produced was Judge Brown's "City of Boys," simply a few scenes in Boytown. "A Boy and the Law" is Judge Brown's second and much bigger venture in the Movies. It's a real Photoplay. He appears personally in many of the hundred and fifty scenes. It is good for the regular moving picture houses or may be booked in the large theatres and opera houses at advanced prices. Some state right buyers are preparing to do this. Premier in New York will be at the big New York Theatre on Broadway the week of Oct. 27. Come and see it. BETTER HURRY— STATES GOING FAST YOUTH PHOTO PLAY CO. W. W.
