Good-Will Plans"
Now is the time to start planning your annual Christmas Show for the kiddies.
Don't wait until your opposition beats you to it or it is too late to get set.
Work it in conjunction with your local newspapers, Chambers of Commerce or Welfare Organizations active in Kiddie Work.
And, also, don't forget that Thanksgiving and. Christmas opens up another channel for community work in the way of "Old Clothes Matinees" and special performances in the morning at which the admission is some article of cast-off clothing or a toy. Even a grocery or vegetable matinee; works the same way.
Oh, hell — why should I have to go into all these details. Every doggone one of you know that there are a million) angles to these marvelous stunts and if you are not alive to their value — shoot me a wire and I'll donate a push-cart — then you can start in business for yourself.
"Chick"
Ballyhoo Gave City Some Real "Belly-Laughs"
If you happen to be talking about live-wire exploitation men, you had better step up and make the acquaintance of Mr. Charles J. Brennan, managing direc^~ ^~ ^ "™ ~ ""— tor of the Rialto Theatre for the Stanley Fabian outfit in Newark, N. J.
As this photograph will show, he put over a "pip" with "Three Live Ghosts" by the use of a trick flivver, which every once in a while kicked up its front wheels, and bumped along on its rear ones, (the three figures draped in white sheets lent the proper atmosphere).
Frank LaFalce, director of publicity from the Warner Theatres in Northern N. J., really planned the stunt, but it was Mr. Brennan's showmanship that successfully executed it. This automobile would travel a short distance along the main business street, then "pop"' up and run on its rear wheels with the front of the car in the air. Three ushers from the theatre represented the ghosts. They rode around making laughing noises with kazoos.
It gives us great pleasure to welcome Mr. Brennan to our fast growing ranks of showmen, and we will look forward with great delight to publishing his contributions as regularly as he sends them in. But don't forget our former request, Charlie, we would like to have one of your own photographs with your next letter. How about it?
