Lawrence Weber produced in New York with sensational box office results. At the height of its stage success, Mr. Weber announced that the screen rights were for sale at the trifling figure of $250,- 000, and that no’ allowances for good behavior on the part of prospective purchasers would be made. Failing to obtain the $250,000 for the screen rights to the play, Mr. Weber announced that his next step would be to make a screen version of it himself, but before he could put that threat into effect, along came J.
