INC., 156 W. 28th St., N. Y. Showmanship Contest for UA United Artists will hold a King of Showmen contest, awarding $2,500 in cash and an expenses-paid trip to Hollywood, to the theatre man staging the best campaign for Russ-Field’s CinemaScope production of “The King and Four Queens,” starring Clark Gable and Eleanor Parker, it was announced this week by Roger H. Lewis, U.A. national director of advertising, publicity and exploitation. The King of Showmen competition is open to every theatre in the United States and Canada playing “The King and Four Queens” prior to June 1, 1957. The new Western, which combines romance and action, will be United Artists’ Christmas release. Robert Waterfield and Jane Russell of Russ-Field, Clark Gable and Roger Lewis will join with a panel of motion picture trade publication editors to select the King of Showmen. The size of the theatre will not be a point of consideration in the judging. Neither the amount of money spent on the campaign nor the comparative box office returns will be evaluated in the King of Showmen contest. Judging will be based solely on ingenuity, originality, practicability, coverage and efficiency, according to United Artists. Each campaign submitted must cover at least five of the following categories: ad vertising, exploitation, promotion, publicity, TV-radio, retail cooperation and civic activities. In addition to $2,500 in cash, the winning theatre man and his guest will be taken to Hollywood for a studio tour and award of the King of Showmen crown at a celebration dinner. Minnesota Picture-goers Favor Censorship MINNEAPOLIS: Seven out of 10 Minnesotans, according to a statewide survey by the Minneapolis Tribune, are in favor of municipal motion picture censorship laws. Some reasons given: “some movies aren’t good for children”; that would do away with bad movies.” 66 per cent of men and 77 per cent of women are for censorship measures, according to the report. West St Paul enacted a censorship ordinance about six weeks ago. The action followed the filing of a protest petition signed by 42 residents opposing the showing of a film. Heads Credit Group J. A.
