The marketing for the B&W biography of one of America’s most beloved writers tried to capitalize on current wartime atrocities. Jack London actually died in 1916, but he did witness shocking conditions during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904, which he covered for stateside newspapers.
The United Artists release had previously played a test engagement at Loew’s Capitol in the nation’s capital, with no attempt to link with current events. Ad displayed here
