Sarong Girl (Monogram) (1943)

Order Corio “Lure” Stills For Surefire Displays! You can readily give the fans something to stare at... something that will will have them rarin’ to see Ann Corio in “Sarong Girl.” The gorgeous burlesque star is one of the most pohtogenic beauties ever to grace the films. Her art stills will really evoke whistles, so use as many of them as possible in as many places as possible. Above all, be sure to build a sock dispay of them in the lobby. The best bet is a giant board, headed by some of the punch headlines from the ads, and loaded with as many different stills of Ann Corio as you can crowd on it. Another idea is a sort of peep show effect with the photos displayed in a showcase which is entirely masked except for small peep holes above each still. We have a special selection of fifteen Corio poses (uprights), not included in the exchange set, which are the work of the famous glamour photographers, Bruno of Hollywood and John Engstead. The set of fifteen costs $2.70 and should be ordered directly from Pressbook Editor, Monogram Pictures, 4376 Sunset Drive, Hollywood. Stills will be shipped immediately on receipt of order with payment. We suggest sending your order by airmail to assure early delivery. Make Ann The “Most” Girl If a camp of the armed forces is stationed nearby, make every effort to have a bunch of the men name Ann Corio as their favorite pin-up girl. If it’s the air force, they can select her as the girl they most like to fly with. If armored corps, call her the girl they most lke to go riding with in a tank, jeep, truck or what have you. Should there be no army camp in your locality, the same kind of stunt can be pulled with the workers of any defense plant or even with college students. In the case of the former, they might also name one of whatever product they’re turning out after the star. The collegians could vote her the “Sarong Girl they'd most like to be stranded on a desert island with.” Smash Cutout Standee This attractive display is really an eyecatcher.
