[typewritten text: Dear Sir:-

Your name has been handed to me by a friend who represents you as one who is very much interested in negro feature pictures, hence we are writing to tell you of the money-making possibi lities [possibilities] of our "THE FLAMES OF WRATH" featuring Roxie Monkins, with an all-colored cast; one of the greatest melo-dramas [melodramas] of the day, in five big reels.

There is a large colored population in your city who should be interested in seeing the first run of this picture. It is a novelty. A picture with color and a beautiful story which appeals to audiences.

It has been a very big thing with other exhibitors, making business during dull nights. This picture has neverlost [never lost] a dollar to an exhibitor in all of its rounds. It will be shown in Jacksonville, Fla. [Florida] on September 21st at the New Frolic Theatre.

We would be very glad to have you take the picture for a day or so in your city and state, Rental, one day $25.00; two days $40.00. A deposit required of $5.00 to $8.00 with your contract or letter making date. The picture is sent to you c. o. d. [cash on delivery] for the balance of the rental.

We shall look for a reply from you by return mail, with deposit, in a letter making your dates. DO THIS TODAY.

Yours very truly,
[Signed] ROGERS WILSON
Manager for State
