—THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY 25 -We Extended its Run!'^ MAKE THIS MANAGER'S MONEYMAKING EXPERIENCE YOUR OWN Quincy, Ills, July 5, 1920 Universal Film Co., New York. Gentlemen : ^^The Virgin of StamhouV^ proved the biggest success of any picture that has played Quiney in TEN YEARS. As you know, we extended its run two days beyond the original schedule of five days, and it held up its end. I used much of your exploitation stuff and this, I claim, helped put the picture across so wonderfully. The newspapers were liberal and praiseworthy, giving the picture exceptionally strong stuff The picture is comparable to THE BEST of the season's product-a WINNER FOR ANY EXHIBITOR, and the sensational work of Miss Dean could not be beaten. She has won a home in this city. (Signed) Peter Finkelman, Mgr. Princess Theatre 'Hie Picture that Makes 1920 Famous''
