We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Despite our desire for modesty in telling you of the results now being obtained in theatres everywhere with Von Stroheim's "BLIND HUSBANDS," in view of the flood of congratulatory telegrams and bubbling letters from exhibitors, we believe it is only fair to give you the sum total of these expressions, which is told in the above headline reading— "THE PERFECT PRODUCTION" is producing— Longer Runs Plus Capacity Everywhere One of the biggest theatre circuit owners in the world pronounced "BLIND HUSBANDS" one of the BIG THREE of the BIG PICTURES of the year, while another went so far as to say that it is the biggest production for class, finish, punch and power since "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." Whatever others are thinking, we ask you TO VIEW THIS PICTURE at your nearest Universal-Jewel Exchange and PASS YOUR OWN OPINION. Then when you book it, handle it as though you've put your last dollar on earth into it and your patrons will amaze you. Book it for a run. It's too big for a short stay, besides the longer the run the mightier the net profits for you. ACT NOW.
