MAIL CAMPAIGN Letter Suggested for the Exploitation of “Fedora” yhmmouvi jfjjj ^J7ieair>e-u 200 .MAINE AVE. ED6EWOOD ll_i_. TEL.eOCEWOOD $391 Dear Madam: — The thousands of admirers of Pauline Frederick, the charming and brilliant exponent of the great Sardou roles made famous by the genius of Sarah Bernhardt and the late Fanny Davenport, doubtless will be pleased to learn that this popular Paramount star will be seen at our theatre next. in her newest photoplay, "Fedora," a picturization of the masterpiece of the great French dramatist. In this remarkable picture. Miss Frederick portrays the role of a Russian princess whose fiance is slain on the eve of their wedding and who vows to bring his murderer to justice. When she meets the suspected assassin, she contrives to win his love with the sole purpose of wringing a confession from him and then turning him over to the police for punishment. How she later weds this man and when he seeks revenge upon the mysterious woman implicated in the tragedy of his -life, she resorts to the supreme sacrifice, is told in a series of situations of such dramatic power, as to hold the interest to the final scene. Miss Frederick is splendidly supported by capable players, and it is safe to predict that the success of "Fedora" will be no less emphatic than that scored by her previous pictures, "La Tosca," based upon Sardou' s great play, and "Resurrection," by Count Tolstoy, both of which were recently shown here. We assure you that we will be delighted to extend every courtesy to you, should you visit our theatre at any time during the display of this great picture. We beg to remain. Yours sincerely. Manager.
