TO WOMEN
IN LOVE! is the picture
you made!
"SEED" IS THE STORY YOU WOULD WRITE IF YOU HAD THE lusack of expressing the thoughts that chum around in your brain.
IT IS THE PICTURE YOU WOULD DIRECT IF YOU HAD JOHN Stahl's ability to bring out all that is human and fine in a splendid cast.
AS A MATTER OF FACT YOU REALLY MADE "SEED." YOU MADE THE STORY WHICH CHARLES ́G. NORRIS WROTE into a best selling book.
ALL MR. NORRIS DID WAS TO TAKE YOUR EMOTIONS-YOUR very human, commonplace emotions---and ret them down line after line in story formi. HE ROUNDED UP THE THOUGHTS THAT YOU THINK, THE loves that you love, the jealousies that you suffer from, the humor that lets you laugh--and put them into a book and then sold them back to you in that form.
SO "SEED”? IS SIMPLY-YOUR STORY, AND SINCE YOU ARE, JUST one of the human units in the world, it is a story of hunsanidied.
NOTHING TOUCHES YOUR HEART SO CLOSELY AS YOUR OWN emotions. That's why "Seed," as a picture, reaches right into your hatct and woul.....
"Seed" is YOU. It is made up of the thoughts you think in secret-good and bad--and alhou you thoughts are YOU, 10
