ROBBERS NOT SOLD
ON DISSAUSIVE ADS
Boston — “Crime Does Not Pay,” according to window cards and other advertising in the office of Specialty Pictures, Inc. “Crime Marches On ... To Its Doom,” reads the sign painted across the side of the neon-lighted sound truck, advertising the concern’s "Vanishing Gangster” feature, that is often parked across the street from the exchange. Stills in the Piedmont St. location show such scenes as the end of John Dillinger, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow in the morgue, and other such shots depicting the relentlessness of the G-Men’s war on crime.
Specialty Pictures, Inc., was robbed Friday of last week of a metal deposit box that contained a number of salesmen’s contracts and about nine dollars in currency. Police are working on clues.

HOUSE HYGIENE BEGINS WITH AIR CONDITIONING
Clean seats, clean carpets, clean washrooms, clean thetares generally — progressive showmen know only too well how they bolster boxoffice receipts.
But all these are so much waste effort in a house not properly air-conditioned. With the approach of warm weather, particularly, air-conditioning is one of the "musts" of house sanitation — one of the comforts that patrons insist on. Whatever type of air-conditioning you may require, whatever price range you may be interested in — our engineer will be glad to make a survey of your theatre without charge.
