Omaha, Neb. — When he was putting on Wallacq Reid in "The Roaring Road," Manager Harry Watts of the Strand, invited a prominent local automobile firm to co-operate with him. Together they ran a full two-page advertisement for the picture, with a space at the bottom for the automobile. Automobiles were placed on the theater stage and a brief trailer was used advertising the car. The picture went over big. Denver, Colo. — When the Strand ran Margarita Fisher's "Put Up Your Hands," in which the star is featured as an ultra-athletic society girl who introduces a boxing-match with Bull Montana as an innovation at one of her aunt's afternoon tea parties they arranged the lobby to appear as much like a bona fide prize-fighting ring as possible. There was a roped-off space, and about twenty pairs of boxing gloves hung on the walls. The only stills displayed were those where the heroine is shown in regulation athletic togs sparring with her rh.g partners. The lobby display provoked curiosity and interest and created wide comment. The Strand is reported to have done tremendous business on this subject. Mix Mixes in Omana Omaha, Neb. — Tom Mix pictures used to run three days at the Sun. Then they ran for four days. Showing "The Coming of the Law" Harry Goldberg shoved the notch up to five days and house records were tottering by the second day. Tom Mix is popular with Sun audiences. Shortage in Europe Exporters Say Old Films, Once Refused, Now Being Bought Exporters in local circles say that films are being sold for Europe, and notably England, that a few months ago could not find a buyer. One man well known in the field, estimated that England used about 600 features a year and that the effect of the epidemic shut down last fall and the consequent curtailment of the production had sapped the market of features available for foreign use. He claims that there have not been sufficient gains in. present day output to make up for the nonproductive period. He looks forward to the open booking policy as making the number of features for abroad fewer than ever. Since all features made here are not suitable for exhibition in Europe, this exporter fears that a dangerous slump will result in foreign trade.
