An exhibitor will do his patrons a distinct service by showing this picture

[deickemeyer · 21 January 2017]

This is a story with a moral, and a warning only too plain. It is not entertainment, at least not in the ordinary sense; it is unpleasant. At the same time, in a well balanced program, where there are no other "weepers," an exhibitor will do his patrons a distinct service by showing this picture. A widow is lured by an advertisement promising 30 per cent, dividends to withdraw her money from the savings bank and "invest" it in wildcat mining stocks. The banker, aware of her intention, tips off the Federal authorities, and the slick promoter is later raided. The widow, of course, and a lot of other widows and people of small means lose their all. The story is well put on. - The Moving Picture World, August 31, 1912
