These carried portraits of Beach, who expressed satisfaction with the Ricoro cigar. Placing stickers on taxicabs starting May 1 was also a good scheme. Illuminated window displays showing fish caught in a net were placed in various stores in New York and autlying towns. At Weaver's, 66th St. and Broadway, an artist painted from 3 to 5 in the afternoon and 7 to 8 in the evening, daily. His portraits were of Rex Beach, as well as Myrtle Stedman and Betty Blythe, the featured actresses in "The Silver Horde." 50,000 circulars were also used for advance publicity as regards the engagement of the production at the Capitol. Preceding the transfer of the film to the Broadway, early copies of evening newspapers were secured and in glaring red type, an announcement to that efifect printed across the front page. Newspaper advertising and billboard advertising were also used extensively to round out the campaign. Indianapolis, Ind. — Harry Koch, manager of the Ohio, recently arranged a tie-up with a local jewelry establishment that proved to be an exploitation stunt par excellence. The entire window of the store was turned over for the entire week of the showing of "The Luck of the Irish," advertising that with each purchase a ticket, good for admission to the Ohio on any day except Sunday would be given. Being an effective display and a good scheme, the jeweler profited by it as well as the house. "The Only One of Its Kind" (Special to WID'S DAILY) Los Angeles — Charles D. Pike, who calls himself the "theatrical agent for the Salt Lake road," is back in the railroading game again. Charles is the man who makes all the arrangements for film folks when they travel.
