From the Southern California estate sale of a silent film collector! Very hard to find original silent film movie theater herald for THE THING WE LOVE.
The Thing We Love is a 1918 American silent drama film starring Wallace Reid, Kathlyn Williams, and Tully Marshall, produced by Jesse Lasky, distributed by Paramount Pictures, and directed by Lou Tellegen. This marked Tellegen's second foray into directing as he usually was a leading man in front of the camera like Reid.
"One of the most sensational pictures of the year. A story of spies, intrigue, and the victory of a strong man over himself with a burning love story interwoven. Over here the war is being fought as bitterly if not as noisily as over there. See this picture of intrigue, plots and duplicity, with a vein of red blooded American love running through it all, don't miss it. "The Thing We Love" contains one of the strongest patriotic appeals ever filmed. From an idealistic, impractical pacifist, through gradual stages we watch the progression of the hero to a self-sacrificing, high hearted volunteer. The mental stages that he passed through will be recognized by many a loyal American as exactly the fight they fight, the battles they had with themselves until they came to the full realization of "The Thing We Love.""
