: AMUSEMENTS *JESSE JAMES, JR., ISSUES WARNING TO SEDALIAtheatregoersTaking advantage of the national advertising campaign the Mesco' | Pictures Corporation is putting j i back of the production, “Jesse James Under the Black Flag,” com-1 : petitors are now showing an anti-; j Quated picture called “The James | Boys in Missouri,” “Tlie Life of! Jesse James” or a similar name, j The picture they are showing was made about ten years ago with the direction and characterization in vogue at. that time. It was with-| drawn from the market for years,, and is now being reviewed, apparently for no other reason than to gather big profits from the publicity our production has gained.Jesse James, jr., says, “Unauthorized persons are now showing moving pictures supposed to portray the life of my father, Jesses James. The only authentic photoplay ever written of my father’s hie, is the Mesco Pictures Corporation production, entitled, ‘Jesse James Under the Black Flag’ which was written and directed by Franklin B. Coates.”“I leel sure that the theatregoers ot Sedalia will not want to be tooled with an old, worn-out antiquated picture. Be sure and see the genuine production at the Lona theatre on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. I will appear in person at each screening of the picture.”Sincerely yours,Jesse James, jr.
