IMPRESS A MEMORABLE MARK ! Oil THE HEART OF HUMANITY! HINTS ON NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING No. 84 — "Dust Be My Destiny” (Warners) Doing a business that is quite pleasing, “Dust Be My Destiny” establishes a potential team, although John Garfield is seen in a role that is not exactly new to him. Examine the copy: “A hoy and a girl that the world for¬ got . . . and a love it will always remember;” “hunted, home¬ less, unwanted, nobodies on the road to nowhere;” “the simple story of a great love.” Of the three, only the middle piece of copy gives any idea of the story, and that “simple story of a great love” could apply to plenty of pictures coming from the studio mills. Philadelphia had the right idea with “two kids who never had a break fighting for the right to live and love.” That con¬ veys something. And that “picture destined to impress a memorable mark on the heart of humanity” is perhaps the weakest part of that New York City layout. November 8, 1939
