You buy a Gillette Razor, Ivory Soap, an Arrow Collar, because they're your friends — you've seen them advertised for so long, they've become part of you — a fixed habit. The same with Victor Hugo Halperin's great PRO-HIBI-TION satire, "TEA— With a KICK!" First, you rush to partake of it, because it recalls a subject uppermost in the public mind ( ! ) for the past four years — an old friend! Second, you fight to see it, because its "Million Dollar" Cast of 27 Stars — including 12 Famous Comedians, 5 Leading Ladies and 10 Dramatic Celebrities — are all your old friends! The most stupendous assemblage of talent, with guaranteed boxoffice sales value, ever conceived by a producer for the Exhibitor's success. Third, you pay top prices to see it, because it intoxicates you with —a Ballet of 100 "Hollywood Heartbreakers." — 10 Prize-contest-winning Beauties — America at its best! — 2000 supporting Funmakers. —a $100,000 "Golden Gown Revue." — magnificent novelties and spectacle. —A NEW TYPE OF PICTURE— whose side-splitting satire stamps its creator, Victor Hugo Halperin, the screen's greatest humorist. DISTRIBUTORS: Because we have here one of those rare, money-making sensations, we want to do business with a distributing organization that has the VISION to see the million-dollar possibilities, as we do, in HALPERIN'S — it's the National Cocktail!
