Milton Sills's danish poster

This is a poster that I repaired yesterday; I'm not posting the full size versions for obvious reasons: it is too big. The translation of the title, LOVENS MAND, is Lawman.

After more than an hour of reading the TCM database, since in the auction there was no information about the original title, I reached to the conclussion that the film is WHY WOMEN REMARRY (1923).

But if I made a mistake, please feel free to correct me.

Nice poster.

I'd put my money on The Making of O'Malley (1925) in which Milton Sills plays a police patrolman.

Thanks... but this poster states that the film is 5 reel long while THE MAKING OF O'MAILLEY is 8.

I guess that you are right, in any case.

Now that I have renamed the poster following David's statement, I leave you a direct link to a full size version of the poster:

I´ve submitted 1.000 Danish titles on foreign films on IMDb and you can now search on the Danish titles with Milton Sills et all.

I don't think that's right. The poster claims that the film is in five acts, not in five reels.

(Unless the word "akter" - Danish for "acts" - was used for reels back then? If so, that is news to me.)

In this context, acts and reels mean the same.
