We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Three cooperative newspaper acls were promoted by manager Arthur Groom to exploit "Till the Clouds Roll By" at the Victory theatre, Evansville, Ind. The ads were set with Ideal Pure Milk Company, Schuttler's Music Store and Tri-State Photo Supply Company. Each of the ads appeared in both the Courier and Press.
A girl paraded the streets, carrying an umbrella for three days. Copy painted on the" umbrella read: "'Till the Clouds Roll By' now at Loew's." A tieup was arranged with Tri-State Photo Supply, whereby hit tunes from the picture were played over a loud speaker from the doorway of their store. After each number, announcements were made, giving playdate credit. The store is located on Main Street, a block from the theatre.
Another tieup was made with Silver's Record Shop to sponsor two 15-minute radio programs in addition to their regular weekly program. For these programs, persons identifying Jerome Kern songs received Kern record albums. The R. & G. Furniture Company plugged the picture on their quiz program broadcast from the lobby of the theatre each Sunday.
Twenty downtown juke boxes carried cards reading: "Play the hit tunes from 'Till the Clouds Roll By'." Window streamers were used in record shops. Window tieups were arranged with Tri-State Photo Supply, Silver's, Schuttler and Sater's Clothing Store. Other displays were set with hotels McCurdy, Vendome and Sonntag, Schear's department store and others.
