2052 (Special Service Section) Motion Picture News TODAY YOUR TIP Every Event Abroad Is Working for Your Publicity WHILE there is a record-breaking line of publicity prepared by Jewel Productions available for the exhibitor, in all sizes and ready to use merely by adding the name of the theatre and the date of showing, the exhibitor should take advantage of the big events here and abroad in connection with the war. It is impossible to foresee them with accuracy, but there are big things going to happen during the next weeks, and the exhibitors will have those big events to couple up closely with " Crashing Through to Berlin " because of the reason that the picture gives you a full history of the war right up to the minute and pictures actual events. Instead of being handicapped by having actualities putting a fictitious story out of date, you have the events, whatever they are, making the public want to see what this production offers. Keep your eye close on your newspapers and make the real news, the biggest news that the world has ever known, work for you. ._ Heavy Hand of KULTUR With your own eyes, see it ruin Belgium, ravage France, wreck Russia all shown in CRASHING THROUGH TO BERLIN The Whole Colossal Drama of the War. YOU'LL see every great incident on all the big fighting fronts for four years past thru the eyes of a thousand cameras. You'll see the brave defense of the Belgians, the dogged British, our galiant French allies fighting on land, on sea, in the air. You'll see our boys, YOUR BOY, marching up to the Marne to smash the Hun. You'll see the world's only complete, consecutive pictorial history of the titanic conflict. DON'T MISS IT. Specimen of one column ad. AN ACTUAL RECORD Keep That Fact Prom. inent in All Your Work BE sure to keep prominently before the public that this is not a fantastic picture, but that it is an actual record. And be sure to point out that this is an actual record of all of the chief events of the war from the assassination at Sarajevo. Point out that 100,000 feet of actual negative was chopped down to 7,000 feet to show the great events of the four years of the war and what is happening today. You don't need to use grandiloquent terms, when you can offer the public the actual record of the most dramatic years in the history of the world. Keep away from anything faky in your advertising. There is no excuse for it, and you are weakening your appeal when you resort to it. This is no place for the " clever stunt." You have real, actual truth to rely upon for your selling points, and nothing else is needed. But drive the big facts home and keep driving them. You have the chance of your life in advertising what you can produce.
