CAPITOL o NORTH BAY Seems our friend Robert”s been under the weathor lately ... Ha injured the base of his spine and waa confined to his bed for several days ... Hope you're much better Bob, by the time this reaches you, and we'll forgive you if your Bally isn’t quite up to enuff ... I'm sure you'll make up for it once you're on your feet again. For MOONLIGHTER, Bob dressed one of his usherettes in a cowegirl get up, and had her parading up and down the main drag during the run of the picture ... Every so often she'd stop a passer-by and ask what a MOONLIGHTER was. Correct answers, of which there weren't teo many, were wewarded by a guest admission to the Capiteli., The-lass also used her rope to lasso the odd unsuspecting citizen ... who was also invited to be a guest of the theatre, All in fun, and the loeals leved 1%, To attract attention, June ... that's the gal's name 500 Let loose with her six-guns every few minutes ...

The radio station also played up LILI as a good children's program, and plugged the recordings over the air waves, describing the ouppets used in the foature ... Good stuff, Arthur, The Kiss Good Deed Glub still being aired three times weekly, with generous amounts of free time devoted to the theatre ... Im case you've forgotten, the children send in dsseriptiona of their best deed of the week, and the winners are rewarded with a trip to the Paramount ... Naturally thoy have to be told the location, what's playing etc. Two good scenes in the Review, as advance for THE ROBE, beth on off-theatre pages ... Samo deal duplicated in the Lakefield News oo. Art and Don pooled their resources, budit a 12 foot by 30 ineh frame, covered it with pebbled gold card, mounted ROBE art on it and used it as a background for their confection bar ...A most attractive display at a cost of $2.35. Here's a novel way to use breast badges oo. Instead of having hie usherettss wear them, Art arrangea for the waitresgea at a popular lecal eatery to use thom during his playdates ...
