March 27, 1920 THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD WILL PACK YOUR "From the box office angle there is very little doubt but what Constance Talmadge, 'In Search of a Sinner,' will pack your house, if you can judge from the first day's run at The STRAND (New York), where they were * standing them at the last show." " Wid's. CRISP AND ZIPPY! "Her latest picture may be said to outclass all in its mirth-provoking possibilities. Snappy action, clever twists and turns and surprises at every flash. Delightful nonsence, delightful truth, handled in a flawless manner . . . crisp and zippy." — Motion Picture News. PEP AND GINGER! "The grouchiest mortal on earth couldn't resist the laughing lure of this bright, gingery First National production. It is screen comedy of infinite jest and sparkle, sufficiently daring, yet never touching the risque verge, alive with smart action, always holding its interest and terminating as happily and mirthfully as it begins." — Exhibitor's Trade Review. IT'S A WINNER! "Gay with the adventures of a young widow. ... a delightful comedy. . . . Constance Talmadge is a born comedienne. Drew outbursts of laughter at The STRAND and will be a winner wherever shown." — Moving Picture World. Joseph M.
