What
A Motion Picture News page of 20 October 1917 advertising Thou Shalt Not Steal, a Fox Special Feature released on 14 October.
Why
The film is lost; William Nigh directed Virginia Pearson in it, from Le Dossier n° 113 by Émile Gaboriau.
Notice
The page calls it "A Story based on the 7th Commandment" and urges exhibitors to "Book Fox Special Features NOW".
“The seventh commandment, booked”
