I have recently run "OUTSIDE THE LAW" and think it only fair to advise you how well this picture went over. I consider it one of the best melodramas I have ever shown — I have heard nothing but the most favorable comments on this picture ,and am going to repeat it within the next two or three monhs.
Yours very truly,
