In “SEX” J. Parker Read, Jr. has produced, C. Gardner Sullivan has written and LOUISE GLAUM has acted the picture extraordinary. It is a picture for super-showmen. No exhibitor who is a poor showman ought to be permitted to book and play “ ox The story in “Sex” is the story of life with all of its mad, glad realistic garb; with irresistible “punches” here and there and a gloriously adequate cast to put these punches over. Some of the trade press critics have been duly shocked—all have been startled by “Sex.” The value of the trade press reviews of “Sex” to the exhibitors who book this production could not be duplicated or equalled by the spending of Fifty Thousand dollars. “Sex” is pre-released April 11 for twoweek or one-week engagements only.
