Whitman’s tiein on “Foreign Correspondent” means big boxoffice business! As a publishing house which reaches the American mass market, Whitman is without parallel in this country. Their products, which are developed in print orders of huge proportions, provide reading mate¬ rial—and its show-selling influence—for exactly those mil¬ lions who constitute the most important audiences for “Foreign Correspondent.” Your tieup with Whitman Publishing Company involves two high-powered, hard-hitting publications: First, Whitman is publishing “Foreign Correspondent” as a very popular-priced book—with illustrations. Whit¬ man editors have taken the script of “Foreign Correspond¬ ent”, together with a series of the most dramatic stills from the production, and are translating that material into an entertaining, eye-catching volume. In every way, Whitman’s “Foreign Correspondent” will capture the thrills and suspense and drama which Alfred Hitchcock has so expertly woven into your great current attraction. Price, production and distribution of the book are calcu¬ lated to reach Whitman’s largest market. Second, the publisher is marketing—with the first na¬ tional release of “Foreign Correspondent”—a completely new “comic” magazine. The magazine will be titled “For¬ eign Correspondent”, thus affording you a direct tiein. Priced at ten cents a copy, Whitman’s new magazine will be merchandised on the nation’s newsstands. An impor¬ tant comic strip artist has been engaged to develop the story of your show in this highly entertaining medium, and the first issue of the new Whitman magazine will be the peg for one of your most important local exploitation efforts. Also, Whitman is planning to market the magazine as a monthly series, thus affording all exhibitors of “For¬ eign Correspondent” a constant showmanship asset and opportunity. 5 |: * Whitman’s “Foreign Correspondent”—as a book—may be published in more than one price.
