Scope and content
Near the end of December 1925, H. C. Weaver, president of H.C. Weaver Productions, was busy pasting up what was known as a "24 sheet" on the Market side of the Rialto Theater, site of the world premier of Tacoma-made motion picture "Hearts and Fists." The lumbercamp saga would be shown at the Rialto Theater starting January 2, 1926. Directed by Lloyd Ingraham and starring Marguerite de la Motte and John Bowers, it was the first film made by the H.C. Weaver Production studio near Titlow Beach. Tacoma's name figured prominently on all of the advertising. Standing center in front of the large ad and facing toward the camera was Henry T. Moore of Moore Entertainment Group, management of the Rialto. (TNT 12/30/1925, pg. 9) G36.1-212; TPL-2948
