Caption:
Traffic in Souls (Universal, 1913). One Sheet (28.25 X 42). Although this film is little known today, it occupies an important place in motion picture history. A compelling drama about Mary Barton (Jane Gail), a woman who, with the help of her police officer boyfriend Burke (Matt Moore), goes undercover in the white slavery ring headed by respectable businessman William Trubus (William Welsh) that has kidnapped her sister, Lorna (Ethel Grandin). Universals first feature-length release - at six reels - it cost $57,000 to produce (far less than the $200,000 claimed in studio press material), and returned more than $450,000 - thanks in large part to its lurid subject matter - making Universal a force with which to be reckoned. After the success of this picture, studio head Carl Laemmle decided to relocate his operation to the West Coast, and a movie dynasty was born. Also, although many movies had adapted plays or books in the past, this film, the first American production to tackle the concept of sex, was the very first movie to be turned into a novel. The incredible stone litho one sheet offered here has some light creasing in the bottom right, edge and fold wear, minor crossfold separation, a chip in the bottom left corner, and light staining in the left border. It remains a lovely, and very important piece, that presents beautifully and will make a valuable addition to any collection. Very Fine-.
