THE EXHIBITOR 25 SEATTLE SAN rRANCISCO LOS ANGELES DETROIT NEW YORK CITY STRONG MEN who challenge THE MIGHT OF THE SEA. . VALIANT, LOVING WOMEN WHO SPUR ' THEM ONWARD! IN'PERSON ..CIAUOETTE COIBERT" HENRY FONoIl DICK POWELL ' ^ DRUMS ALONG THE MOHAWK' j HINTS ON NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING No. 99 — "Rulers of the Sea” (Paramount) With the exception of what Minneapolis has to offer, the layouts from the various cities all agree on one point — the heads of Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and Margaret Lockwood together looking upward. Minneapolis decided to change the routine a bit. Of the copy ideas, Seattle goes modest with “the mightiest sea drama ever to storm the screen” (until the next one comes along); San Francisco offers “the mighty battle of steam vs. sail for command of the sea”; Chicago sells romance with “strong men who challenge the might of the sea, valiant, loving women who spur them onward.” A few of the layouts ignore Will Fyffe, who steals the picture. The show has not been breaking any records, so it offers a challenge to showmen. Perhaps there are angles other than covered here. December 20, 1939
