POST CARD No. 2
(To be sent out 6 days ahead of showing)
Dear Madam:
Just another word about the new InceParamount photoplay, “The Hired Man,” with Charles Ray as the star. If you saw “The Son of His Father” you would doubtless not wish to miss this production, which
comes to the theatre on
If you did not see the above photoplay, you will surely wish to see this one.
Manager.
SUGGESTED LETTER
Dear Madam: —
Probably no notice from us is required to call attention to the appearance of Charles Ray in “The Hired Man,” the third Ray picture under the Ince-Paramount banner, but we wish to add a line about this production which will doubtless interest you.
You may have been one of those who have followed the rise of Charles Ray through his various productions in the past. You have laughed and cried with him in “The Pinch Hitter,” “The Clodhopper,” “The Son of His Father” and “His Mother’s Boy.”
If you saw any of these pictures you will want to see his latest picture, coming to this theatre on And if you did not see any of them, let me say to you that I be
lieve there is not a young man before the screen to-day that expresses anywhere near the lieve there is not a young man on the screen to-day who expresses anywhere near the charm and the ability exemplified by Charles Ray.
This latest picture of his gives him all of the latitude of “The Clodhopper” and “The Son of His Father.” In the character of Ezry Hollins he cherishes a desire to educate and lift himself above the clods.
This exemplification of commendable boyish ambition and eventual accomplishment is something that every young person in your acquaintance should see; something that every grown-up will appreciate and adore.
Come to the Theatre on and come early.
Y ours for service.
Manager.
