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.

Vol. 18, No. 18 UNIVERSAL WEEKLY y ot Feature Pictures! putes the wisdom of shutting off steam for a while, at least until production costs quit hitting the clouds. But as conditions change, you've got to change with them. Where you had easy booking yesterday you're going to have to watch yourself to-day. For unselfish reasons as well as for selfish ones, I advise you to tie up every Universal picture you can get this very minute; not merely because there is a scarcity or will be a scarcity of productions, but because, as every one knows, Universal has the pictures you want. Universal never hit on all cylinders as perfectly as it has done this year. Our product has set the whole trade talking. In fact, the very best advertising we have had has come from exhibitors themselves. They have not hesitated to tell us we've got the whole business licked to a frazzle on quality. Book every Universal right now, and then fill in with the best you can find elsewhere. Don't be caught napping. Don't be compelled to take odds and ends and broken lots. Get the cream. Face the coming scarcity for exactly what it is. Don't try to laugh it off. It is coming and there's no earthly reason why it should take you unawares. I wish Universal had twice as many pictures as it has. But you're lucky to have what we've got. Tie them up and when the scarcity shows up you'll be sitting pretty!
