SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. AN OPEN LETTER. To the Citizens of HAWEEA. *' Ladies and Gentlemen, — "I have been engaged in the making of motion pictures for a number of years, during which time I have made a, great many productions. But of all the pictures I have made the one that has caused me wholly unalloyed delight is my pieturisation of Will Carleton's' celebrated 'Farm Ballad' called 'Over the Hill. 5 "If ever a motion picture could truly be said to have a soul, then ' Over the Hill' comes nearest that description. . I have stood night after night in the darkness of a New York theatre -while it was being screened, and I have seen men and women respond to its tremendous surge of; emotion and its sparkling shafts of humour, as a harp responds to the musician who plays, it. "I have always attributed the extraordinary success of this picture to the fact that it possesses, to an uncanny degree, some indescribable ele- i ment that no other motion picture has ever possessed, for, despite its beautiful story and the manner of its presentation, no one can) see 'Over the Hill' without thinking—why, this is me and you, and all of us. Here we are with all our meanness, our pettiness, \rar cowardice, and here, too, we are with all our fineness, our generosity, and our nobility. "To me *Over the Hill' is more than a mere motion picture. It is so frank an exposition of ova inner selves that we cannot behold it without really being startled. ~y" v "The principal character ,of its .story is a mother —a sweet, wholesome, little old personage, who, like every other mother that ever lived, is made the recipient of all the joys and sorrows —particularly the sorrows— of her thoughtless little flock. And I am sure, if you see the picture, you will think as I did when I first beheld it, of that old proverb that runs 'God couldn't be in every place at once, so He made mothers.' ■"Respectfully yours, "WILLIAM FOX."
