2 Universal Weekly Vol. 24, No. 22 HELD BY No. S14y — Straight from the Shoulder Talk by Carl Laemmlcy President of the Universal Pictures Corporation. THE man who wrote the famous stage play ^^Within the Law'' — Mr. Bayard Veiller — has hit the dramatic bullseye again, and this time he has called his story ^^Held by the Law." I hope you will do more than merely book this picture. I hope you will get back of it and boom it as well, because it is going to give your fans a treat they will not forget. Mr. Veiller has not followed the regular formula of mystery plays. He does not fool you as to who committed the crime on which the story is based. You see the murder committed. You see who committed it. You see how he did it. You see how he attempts to cover his tracks and how he succeeds for the time being. You wonder how another man — unjustly accused of the murder — will ever find a way to establish his innocence. You see him in prison, in the death cell. You think nothing can save him. Even though you have been looking at mystery pictures for years, you cannot figure out how this man can be saved.
