THE AMERICAN TRADE COMMISHIONER
Through your courtesy, Mrs. Barringer and I had the great pleasure of seeing a pre-view of your picture "Humanity on Saturday, April 23rd.
Wo both greatly enjoyed the picture. As the writer spent two years in European Bussia in charge of American relief opere- tions during the great Russian famine of those years, I can vouch for the excellent "abots that you have showing real fumine Conditions. I think that this is a'splendid' picture, and, as you my, should appeal to both European and Chinese audiences. The close-ups were particularly good, and although in spota the photography might have been improved upon, on the whole I consider it a very high grade production.
Thanking you for having remembered me when you showed this picture.

LIMITED.
I wish to thank you for your courtesy in giving me au opportunity to attend the private pre-view of your latest film "HUMANITY."
In congratulating you upon your success in its production, I wish to state that the picture discloses a most pathetic story, very finely told, acted and photogra phed. The famine problem is very vividly portrayed and the film should give the world a true glimpse of village life in the interior of China.
On-the-wkolo, my Associates and--I- consider this picture as the greatest triumph yet achieved by your Company and it is worthy of the attention of not only the. Chinese people but all foreigners who would undoubtedly find interest from an insight of the life and existence of villagers in Obinn
With best wishes to you and your Company for every success in the cxploita- tion of the above film.
Yours very truly...
