Full-page ad for "Way Down East"
as featured on the back cover of the September 2, 1920 edition of the
Mid-Week Pictorial

Great ad found on oversized vintage publication measures 11" X 16" and is placed prominently on the back cover.  The image below is (obviously) made up of two scans, so it's not perfect, but at least you get to see it!

In case you can't read the text below Griffith's photo it is as follows:
