"Six Reels of Joy" was a widely used tagline, which had the benefit of advertising that this was not just another short film. "Special Hoover Relief Matinee" was a fundraiser for the American Relief Administration, which, under the leadership of future President Herbert Hoover, had saved millions from starvation during the war in occupied countries and after the war in Germany and Bolshevik Russia.
