There seems to be unanimous approval of the use of the heads of foe! McCrea and Barbara Stanwyck in the layouts, and we think the Use of the heads of Akim Tamiroff and Lynne Over¬ man also of advantage , particularly of the former. Most of the boys also agree on the use of the following terms: "roaring adventure — flaming romance — adventure romance — more than a thrill a minute — thrill, etc.” We ike the critics’ ad from New York City; in fact, good words might be said for all of the New York City entrants. The variety here, with holdover, coming and current ads of various s:zes, one two and three columns, should give showmen plenty of sug¬ gestions, with proper use of the pressbook. Then again, use of the combination ads for double features and vaudeville is shown to good advantage. Backed by the " Union Pacific” tra il, "Union Pacific” has been starting great guns, and these ads should help hold that advantage. This set of layouts is one of the best. May 24, 19}9
