Vol. 23, No. 2 Universal Weekly 3 THIS WORK (.ulder Talk hy Carl Laemmle, :tl Pictures Corporation. The direction is characteristic of Charles Brabin. His characters move as in life. They are not speeded up as in the average movie. They are not asked to do unnatural things. Not once do they fail into exaggeration. As you watch this great love story unfold, slowly, surely and impressively, you will be just a little bit more proud of the business you are in; you will lift your head a little bit higher; and you will see a pleased and deeply moved audience in your house. It seems to me it would be wise, in advertising “Stella Maris” to your people, to emphasize four things — its differentness, its dignity, its all powerful love story and Mary Philbin’s rise to the peak of greatness in acting. If you can possibly arrange to see the picture before you prepare your advertising, by all means do so. It will give you something to think about. It will inspire you with new thoughts and new ideas to use in attracting special interest from your people. Personally, I take a most unusual pride in presenting this fine piece of work. I am sure it will add still more luster to the name and fame of Universal. (Mr. Laemmle is not alone in his admiration for “Stella Maris.” See what Mae Tinee, the Chicago Tribune’s famous critic, writes on page 37.)
