Harry Carey -- Sweeping the Country Like a Landslide -- January 11, 2022

Pueblo Chieftan, 11-January-1922

Motion Picture News, 14-January-1922

Universal advertised The Fox as "The Year's Big Spectacle."

"Sweeping the Country Like a Landslide" may not have been a good choice of words. 



Moving Picture Weekly, 28-January-1922

"Exploitation Suggestions" includes covering an electric streetcar with 24-sheet (billboard-sized) ads.
