1C EXCITEMENT to tell the plain truth about it, including a very frank warning that nobody with a weak heart should see it. Universal presents "Camera Thrills'' for three reasons: First, to make money for Universal and for you. Second, to pay a much-deserved tribute to the nerviest men in all the world — the Newsreel Cameramen. Third, to give the hard-boiled movie fans the kick of their lives. You cannot possibly see "Camera Thrills" without being stirred to the very depth of your soul. Neither can your audiences. You are going to be bowled over by the very gall and nerve and personal bravery of the Universal newsreel men who took these pictures in the very face of death. Run "Camera Thrills" but first warn your folks not to see it unless they are strong of heart and eager for terrific excitement. Advertise it honestly for just what it is — and turn an amazing two-reeler into an amazing profit.
