THE MOST FEARLESS BOOK OF THE YEAR Now-A Tremendously Dramatic Super Picture
FATHER-MOTHER-DAUGHTER
SON - SWEETHEART!
SEED
A CHALLENGE TO WOMEN IN LOVE! is the picture
you made!
"SEED” IS THE STORY YOU WOULD WRITE IF YOU HAD THE knack of expressing the thoughts that chun sound 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 line 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.
i
ALL MR. NORRIS DID WAS TO TAKE YOUR EMOTIONS--YOUR very human, commonplace emotions--and set them down lime after line in story form.
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 humankind.
NOTHING TOUCHES YOUR HEART SO CLOSELY AS YOUR OWN emotions. That's why "Seed," as a picture, reaches right into your heart and soul. It is made up of the thoughts you think in secret--good and bad....and since you thoughts are YOU, sa "Seed' is YOU.
LONG AFTER YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN SENSATIONAL PICTURES and sexy pictures and other ordinary things, you will remember "Seed.”
