THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENT TO STATE RIGHT BUYERS AND ALL OTHERS A Most Timely and Extraordinary State Rights and Exhibitors* Proposition Offered in the Release of <<THE CELEBRATED STIELOW CASE" Produced by Lois Weber and Phillips Smalley Producers of ''Where are my Children'' The famous STIELOW CASE has had Nation-wide publicity. Nearly every newspaper throughout the United States has carried news of some sort of this great legal tangle. From the facts gathered it looks as though an innocent man is being railroaded to the electric chair; thus this subject has a most powerful appeal to all classes. The character impersonation of Stielow is acknowledged to be the finest portrayal of a character ever seen in moving pictures, and greater by far than anything that has ever been done on the legitimate stage. Nothing ever seen on any screen even begins to equal the performance of the man who portrays the leading role. This picture, handled and directed under the direct j personal supervision of Lois Weber and Phillips Smalley, is alone sufficient guarantee to all of it& extraordinary character and crowd-bringing qualities. You recall "Where Are My Children?" — and its tremendous sucess, having a run in the city of Chicago alone for over 15 consecutive weeks, playing to packed houses. This is a Smalley picture, and you'll find the STIELOW CASE as strong and even stronger in its tremendous appeal to all classes of people as "Where Are My Children?" It will be sold on State Rights basis, and will be released shortly after its first presentation in New York City. Write or wire the State Rights Department of the ARGOSY FILMS, Inc., 1600 Broadway, for terms, prices, release date, etc.
