The Face of Marble (Monogram) (1946)

FRIGHT BALLY FOR STREET Utilize enough paint and hair stiffening to give a street ballyhoo man, preferably a negro, a really frightened look. Then send him through the streets shivering with a sandwich sign on his back reading: “That FACE OF MARBLE gave me the shivers. Don’t go near the Campus Theatre if you scare easily.” @ LOBBY FIRST AID Rig up a first aid booth in your lobby with a nurse and with appropriate signs. Big sign can read: “First aid for those who can't stand the shock of seeing the FACE OF MARBLE.” Have bottle labeled “smelling salts,” bandages marked: “For those injured trying to flee theatre.” Alongside the table have stretcher labeled: “For those who have to be carried from the theatre.” A boitle may be labeled: “Headache tablets.” Another bottle marked: “Life Serum.” we PEEP HOLE CHILLS Illusion of a girl's face turning to marble as in FACE OF MARBLE should give you a thriller peephole panel. Illusion can be produced by placing a panel in which a peephole has been cut, at eye-level, several feet away from an opening through which a girl's head appears, with lights focused on her face. Place a large pane of glass at a 45 degree angle between the peephole and the girl’s head. To the left of the peephole in another opening place a “stone” face. As you light it, dim out the lights focused on the girl’s head whereupon the Face of Marble becomes visible. ® THRILL TEST Arrange a private showing of FACE OF MARBLE for two high school students, a boy and girl, with a school psychologist present to test their reactions. It might furnish a newspaper story on “who thrilled the most.” Instead of a boy and girl, blondes, brunettes and red heads might take the thrill test. ® CANDLE STUNT Purchase a large quantity of small birthday candles. Attach them to cards with copy reading: “For those Afraid to Go Home in the Dark Alone after seeing FACE OF MARBLE, the ROXY THEATRE’S Super Thriller.” ® MIDNIGHT SCREENING Through your newspaper offer $10 to the first woman willing to watch a midnight screening of FACE OF MARBLE, with all the lights out and with no one else in the theatre. wg S22, +S a Take In Extra Cash With This Twin Horror Smash!
