MOVING PICTURE WORLD ABSOLUTELY the most co- lossal and stupendous box office and exploitation proposi- tion the show business has known in years— Staggered blase New York like a ton of dynamite—blew Broadway to bits—ripped open Harlem and the Bronx—rocked Brooklyn and the outlying dis- tricts— Frenzied thousands over- whelmed and all but wrecked the Cohan theatre—New York literally plastered with signs and banners in the GREATEST EXPLOITATION CAMPAIGN OF ALL TIME— If Ringling had this show he'd throw away his circus and put "In the Name of the Law" under canvas — With its mar- velous POLICE TIE-UP ITS POSITIVELY THE GREATEST THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN— A REAL SHOW FOR REAL SHOWMEN!
