st A tad = 20 hic DAILYW Sunday, August 8, 1920 AOE TEE PRM A OL TANT TF EP Another “Special” Quite Worthy of Following “Sex” Box Office Analysis for the Exhibitor Louise Glaum in “LOVE MADNESS” J. Parker Read—Hodkinson “Love Madness” is a great old melodrama. It will thrill audiences and the well-built suspense of the wife’s adventure in the underworld will have everyone keyed up to a high pitch. Because of the wonderful production values the “convenient” nature of the story in the final reels can be overlooked. If analyzed, however, the way the villains play into the wife’s hands is too good to be true or convincing. This can be played as a special just the way “Sex” was and it will draw big and please if you handle it in a big way. Mention of the previous picture, the fact that this was made by the same producer with the same lavish disregard for expense and with the same star, will help at lot. And don’t forget C. Gardner Sullivan’s name. That’s a box office attraction in itself. . Play the story up in this fashion: “She knew her husband had been ‘framed’ by desperate villains. The police were powerless to help him. The death chair stared him in the face! She alone could save him by venturing into the very underworld that was responsible for his impending fate. It was madness, but it was the madness of love. See—.’ Lines on this order should attract, and of course play up the extremely lavish production.
