Dec. 8. 1934 UNIVERSAL WEEKLY S "NATURAL! " great love story, deals with the vital drama of war makers, those greedy, insidious forces who scheme and bribe and connive to hurl humanity into death and destruction so that they can sell more guns and gunpowder, so that they can reap greater profits from the sacrifice of human life, from human suffering and misery! Universal has dared to make this fine story from the Jean Bart play because its plot affects every home, every human life, all human love! And Universal has exposed its great truths without once losing sight of the fact that the picture is primarily entertainment! Millions are hearing and reading about this vital topic. Millions of women know what it means to them, to their husbands, their children, their sweethearts. They, too, are greatly concerned. Universal has had the courage to put it on the screen, to give it the stars and production it so richly deserves. Whether you clean up with it or just show a profit depends on whether you are a showman or just work in a picture theatre !
