The Biggest Box-Office Life-Saver
Smashes All Records for a Year
JUST AS GOLDWYN PREDICTED: Exhibitors everywhere are packing their theatres with
"For the Freedom of the World." Marcus Loew booked it on sight for his entire chain of
theatres. In Kansas City at doubled prices it played to capacity for two weeks at the Columbia
Theatre. Everywhere it is proving itself to be the thrilling kind of attraction the public demands
and approves. Read Feiber & Shea's tremendous indorsement at the bottom of this page.

Since playing your timely and appealing
patriotic feature "For the Freedom of the
World" in two of our towns (Canton and
Youngstown) it is my firm conviction that it
is the biggest box-office life-saver of the hour.
I cannot see how any live exhibitor can fail to
get big returns with it anywhere.
In the face of strong competition and the prevailing
general slump in picture receipts, this
feature of yours has completely smashed all of
our attendance records in these towns for the
current calendar year.
"For the Freedom of the World," in my
opinion, outclasses—in the various dramatic
essentials that make for success— all of the

other patriotic features that I have seen. It
possesses a master scenario, tuned so true to
the current vibration of an awakened American
patriotism that it simply "gets" an audience,
in spite of itself.
Its play upon the human emotions of a vast
audience has proved a revelation to me and
has proven the real powers of a photo-play
to move crowds of people from all offices
of life to the profoundest depths of feeling one
moment and to the spontaneous outburst of
applause in another. It is, indeed, a dramatic
masterpiece in every sense of the word, and I
am now seriously considering breaking over
my ironclad rule against playing repeats, by
arranging with you for return engagements in
all of our towns.
