What
A Motion Picture News page from late 1916 advertising The Last Sentence, a five-reel Edison drama, to exhibitors through the Kleine-Edison-Selig-Essanay service.
Why
Ben Turbett directed it with Marc McDermott and Miriam Nesbitt, and the page books it for release on 1 January 1917.
Notice
"Start the New Year Right!" heads the page under a KESE key emblem, and a printed chain runs round the border.
“A new year's booking, chained in”
