Pana, 111.— The Eagle Theater booked "The Miracle Man" for a week's run. Harry Tanner, manager, arranged a unique exploitation stunt in conjunction with the St. Louis Paramount headquarters. "Dearie: — I am in St. Louis visiting friends. I saw a rattling good show last night. 'The Miracle Man.' Its great. Don't fail to see it. Lovingly yours, Helen." Thousands of these post cards bearing various females names were mailed to the men of Pana nd vicinity. One signed "Clara" landed at the home of a certan business man whose wife is rather jealous. She met him with a rolling pin that night and he fled to the garage. She didn't give him a chance to explain if he could. Los Angeles, Cal. — Prizes worth $175 were presented to the winners of a ghost storly contest held in conjunction with the showing of "Earthbound" at Miller's. The Record cooperated in the exploitation, printing all of the stories and loaning the use of its columns to announce it. Charles R. Baker was responsible for the stunt which can easily be staged elsewhere in conjunction with the same production. There is much of the supernatural about "Earthbound" and a ghost story contest suggests itself as the natural thing to be arranged to boost it. Clift Coming Back Soon London — Denison Clift, who is directing a picture for the Ideal Film Co., declares he will be back in America in November and was going back to Los Angeles, to his bungalow and his chickens.
