MAIL CAMPAIGN For the Exploitation of “The Firefly of France’* ^paramount |U| pJ7iaaiy>e^j aoo ala.ine ave. EOSEWOOD ill. TEL. EOGEWOOD S 29' DEAR MADAM: It affords us great pleasure to announce that Wallace Reid, one of the most popular screen stars in the country, will appear in his latest Paramount photoplay of love and war, "The Firefly of France," at our theatre next This is an exceptional photoplay, a picturization by Margaret Turnbull of Marion Polk Angellotti's great serial which was published in the "Saturday Evening Post" last winter. It was directed by Donald Crisp, a guarantee of its excellence as a picture, independent of the great message of patriotism it conveys to the youth of America. The story deals with the adventures of a rich young American who joins the Ambulance Corps "somewhere in France" and who becomes entangled in the plottings of several German spies. A beautiful young woman enters into the American's life and she takes a prominent part in the exciting scenes which later transpire in an old French chateau on the firing line. How the daring American wins both the cross of war and the love of a tender, brave woman, is told in a series of unusually fine scenes, vibrant with patriotism, thrills and heart appeal. We assure you that this picture is one of superior merit and that all of our patrons will find it delightful in every way. We will be pleased to show you every courtesy at our command, should you find it convenient to attend its display at our theatre. Yours sincerely. Manager.
