mW YORK CITY EXHIBITORS
ATTENTION!!! i
o you want to grab some extra dough this coming week ? fell let^s go here's the proposition !
THE entire industry is co-operating with the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor (of N. Y.). The industry is conducting a gigantic Popularity Contest for Film Stars, votes a dime, the money to go to the Poor of Our City.
. His Honor Mayor John F. Hylan starts the drive from the City Hall Steps at noon Mon
' day, May 1st. All stars are in this drive to help the Poor.
Now — Stars like Constance Binney, Marion Davies, Lillian Gish, Dorothy Gish, Madge
Kennedy, Alice Brady, Hope Hampton, Richard Barthelmess, Monte Blue, Johnny Hines,
Lloyd Hamilton, Barney Barnard, William Farnum, Eugene O'Brien, Lew Cody, and many,
many others put themselves at your disposal for this week to make personal appearances _^
for you — at no cost to you — and you can bill these personal appearances and cash in on the
stunt.
These stars will come to your theatre and make a minute "how-dy" talk to the audience and mention that they are candidates for the Popularity Contest.
We want every red-blooded exhibitor to climb aboard the band-wagon and telephone immediately to Bryant 4650 and give us dates and time you want a prominent star to meet your audience. ,
On April 20th, 1922, the Theatre Owners Chamber of Commerce officially indorsed the drive for the poor of New York in a letter addressed to the A. I. C. P. and signed by their Secretary, Mr. S. A. Moross. Copies of this letter are being sent every exhibitor in this city.
This is your chance to show the Public at large that every last man in the Motion Picture Industry is a red-blooded American who is just the opposite of what the misguided rumors would indicate and that when it comes to a worthy piece of public work the theatre owner is — there with both feet.
Telephone now Bryant 4650
