Summary
A moving picture entitled 'Covered Wagon' now appearing in New York has broken the world's record for a continuous run. On January 31, it was appearing at the Criterion Theatre after 47 consecutive weeks and thus had exceeded the best previous record a few years ago by 'The Birth of a Nation.' The 'Covered Wagon' is said to have been as favourably received in the cities of Europe.
