Williamsport As bally for MGM’s “Summer Holiday,” J. D. Edwards, manager. Park, recently promoted a truck from the Ford dealer, who furnished a driver, to advertise the new truck as well as the picture. A piece orchestra, whose leader wanted the publicity, was contacted, and played on the truck gratis as it went around the streets of the city. Two aides attired in bathing suits also rode the truck as an an added attention getter. The only cost of the publicity stunt to the theatre was the cost of the sign and pay for the aides’ time. The orchestra played tunes from the film as well as other new numbers. Variety Club Philadelphia, Tent 13 Many barkers are planning to attend the mid-winter meeting of Variety Clubs International in Washington, D. C., on Sept. 16-17-18, at which Time presenta¬ tion of the Humanitarian Award to Gen¬ eral George C. Marshall will be made. The banquet will be held at the Hotel Statler, and will be strictly a stag and pcsitively black tie affair on Sept. 18. President Tru¬ man will be guest speaker, and tickets for the dinner will be $15. Reservations are to be sent to Chief Barker Mike Felt. A business session will take up all of Sept. 17, while Sept. 19 will be devoted to the charity football game in Baltimore, Md., between the Chicago Bears and Washing¬ ton Redskins, sponsored by the Variety Clubs of Washington and Baltimore.
