FOR “THE FAIR BARBARIAN” Post Card No. 2 (to be sent Six Days before show) Dear Madam: In “THE FAIR BARBARIAN” Vivian Martin takes the part of a breezy, up-to-the minute American girl who suddenly finds herself in the heart of a sleepy old English village, and needless to say she scandalizes the social leaders. The play was written by Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, and a splendid cast appears in support of Miss Martin. The date is at the Theatre. Manager. SUGGESTED LETTER (To be sent Three Days before showing of Picture) Dear Madam : I Did you know that Vivian Martin, the charming little screen star who is coming to the Theatre in the photoplay entitled “THE FAIR BARBARIAN,” appeared with Richard Mansfield in “Cyrano de Bergerac” at the age of six, and began at a very early age to assume the airs and graces of a “leading lady”? , Miss Martin continued her juvenile work for some years and played the title role in “Peter Pan.” She met with such success that she soon attracted the attention of several motion picture producers, but it was not until she appeared under the Paramount banner that she attained her greatest popularity. She has always been noted for her extensive wardrobe, and in “THE FAIR BARBARIAN” she displays some gowns of exceptional beauty. Mr. Robert Thornby directed the picture, but when it came to going out and rounding up dirty-faced kids, covered with rags and freckles, he drew the line and turned the job over to his assistant. In this production you will see an entire English village, with its gabled cottages and cobbled streets. We trust you will make it a point to come to the theatre on and bring your friends with you to enjoy Miss Martin’s brilliant acting. Yours very sincerely. Manager. ADVERTISING SUGGESTIONS Advance Post Card No. 1 (to be sent Nine Days before showing of picture) Dear Madam: Vivian Martin, the dainty and clever little screen artist, will appear at the Theatre on in a photoplay called “THE FAIR BARBARIAN.” The situations in the play are so amusing and interesting that you will be delighted with the picture.

You will be doing your bit by coming to the show ing of this picture. 2 Manager.
