aiwnnuiiitDiiffliiM | SOL LESSER— Distributor 1 —POLICY FOR 1920— I Sol Lesser, creator of innovations in the distribution of shadow plays, presented in a distinctive and unique manner. In the exploitation of Mack Sennett's Comedy "Yankee Doodle In Berlin", with the Sennett Bathing Girls, Mr. Lesser established a precedent in silver screen presentation, that proved to be a popularity riot. This was the verdict of the exhibitor and public alike. The Bathing Girls went over with a bang. They were new. He created the personal appearance in conjunction with the shadow drama. He now offers — George Beban Production with the personal appearance of Mr. Beban in his famous characterization of the big hearted Italian, immortalized by his famous stage play "The Sign of the Rose." Also — Annette Kellerman, with her feminine form divine, fresh as the morning's dew in Springtime, — with the personal appearance of Miss Kellerman. Great plays, with great players, presented with exquisite perfection. — Beautiful in production. — Perfect in presentation. Mr. Lesser gained an enviable record in film presentation and exploitation, by the distribution of such well known plays of the silver sheet as— "Hearts of The World"— "Intolerance"— "Cabiria"— "The Spoilers"— "The Ne'er Do Well"— "Mickey", etc. SOL LESSER, Distributor CZZ IRVING M.
