Strand Theatre

Nearly six thousand motion picture
exhibitors and newspaper dramatic
editors had a hand in the selection
of the title of What A Wife Learn
ed" Thomas H. Ince's big drama of
twentieth century romance now run
ming at the Strand Theatre.
In screening this picture, an or
iginal by Bradley King, i~tdeveloped
even beyond the expectations of Ince
who determined that here was a pic
ture so big that it should have the
advantage of a title that would con-
vey to picture goers at least an able
suggestion of its bigness in story
and picture values.
A prize Of $3.50 was offered to any
one of the thousands of exhibitors
and dramatic editors, the country
over, who could eptiomize the stir
ring plot and conflicting themes of
the production in a purposeful, tell
ing combination of words. A synop-
sis of the story was sent out together
with reproduction of stills made dur
ing the screening of the feature.
Every state in the union was rep
resented in the scores of replies
which came back. Together with
the suggestions for titles came letters
declaring the greatest interest in
the big theme of he production; in
q~uiries as to the release date and
expressions of the liveliest anticipa-
tons of a real treat when the picture
should go on exhibition.
From a total of 5.641 replies. Ince
and a committee composed of Brad
ley King, the author; c. w. Thomas,
c. Gardener Sullivan and John Grif-
fifth Wray, who directed the produc-
ton of the picture, selected the title
what A Wife Learned" as the one
which best suggested the story. The
idea came from Harry Lee Wilbur,
proprietor of a prosperous motion
picture theatre at Fullerton, Califor-
MIA, and the prize was awarded to
him.
