The public library holds invaluable material for use in your theatre or lobby, such as etchings, engravings, cartoons and clippings from periodicals during the time of Lincoln. These could be borrowed, placed in 1 * a glass enclosed case and displayed in your lobby or foyer. There might be a local patron of historical pieces who has made a collection of articles directly associated with Lincoln, if so ask for the loan of them for display purposes. CARD SETS FOR DISTRIBUTION. Take the character drawings found elsewhere in this press book and make up cards 2 x 3 in size. Use these cuts, one on each card, together with a little copy and \ theatre imprint. In the corner of each card print a large letter taken from the word Abraham Lincoln. Distribute these cards to the smaller grades in your schools and offering free admission to the boy or girl who by exchanging cards brings to the theatre a complete set wherein the name of Abraham Lincoln has been completely spelled. This is a great stunt to excite interest among the younger school children. The characters that enacted this sweetly scented episode were Abraham Lincoln and Ann Rutledge. The tensioned years of 1860 to 1864 are only a part of the life story of Abraham Lincoln shown at the. theatre next week. In his short span of life he enacted a drama that cannot be equaled in the realm of fiction. His life was one that gives to the motion picture screen the ^ most outstand- 'With a Punch il 0 drama of You will be astonished by Lincoln’s ability to overcome innumerable obstacles. You will be charmed with the sen¬ sitive romance that came into his life. You will chuckle at his anecdotes and his keen sense of humor. You will thrill at the fountain of power that caused him to receive the highest honor any nation can give him, a leader among men. . D. W. Griffith, the idealistic master of screencraft, who gave you that never to be forgotten epic, “Birth of a Na¬ tion,” also gives you “Abraham Lincoln”. The story is by Stephen Vincent Benet, author of the celebrated novel, “John Brown’s Body”. Griffith has surrounded Lincoln with a superb cast, a cast as great as the characters they represent. Walter Huston, noted stage and screen star, plays the part of Abr^Jiam Lincoln. Others are: Jason Robards as Hern¬ don,^Jna Merkel as Ann Rutledge, Hobart Bosworth as Robert E. Lee, Frank Campeau as Sheridan, Kay Ham¬ mond as Mary Todd, Ian Keith as Booth, and many others. The Life of Abraham Lincoln is as refreshing as it is dramatic. It is as entertaining as it is interesting. It is another D. W. Griffith achievement that will live long in the hearts and minds of men and women.
