‘PRODIGAL JUDGE’
TO BE SHOWN AT
MISTER SMITH'S
(Conttnifd From Pare Seven.)
competent critic* hare called the greatest
picture he has ever made from “The Two
Orphans” to “Orphans of the Storm.”
This picture released through United
Artists’ Corporation, will be seen for the
third and last week at the Ohio Theater,
commencing Sunday, May 14.
Although expensive and disturbing,
Mr. Griffith made this change In title to
avoid even greater confusion with three
other films bearing the title “The Two
Orphans.” and which various promoters
in the industry either were offering or
preparing to offer to exhibitors.
At the time Mr. Griffith decided to make
the picture, he advertised widely his In
tention, 6o that there might be no coin
cidence of production to bring about any
such a situation aa did come to exist. lie
also protected himself aa far as possible
In a legal way, having purchased all In
terests held by Miss Kate Claxton In
the dramatic rights of “The Two Or
phans" even to the point of increasing
the sum she originally named.
The other films are reported to have
been made abroad several years ago. At
the time the change of title was an
nounced, they were belDg widely offered

and the release dates for them were with
held until Mr. Griffith announced his
presentation. The motion picture In
dustry has never made an effort to pro
tect Itself from such practices.
The change in title meant a loss of
thousands of dollars to Mr. Griffith, and
the scrapping of all his publicity and
advertising. Because of unique features
attending the making of this picture, it
has had probably the largest amount of
press comment ever attending euch a
production. All the paper for billboard
advertising had to be renewed.

third and final week at the Ohio Sunday
