These Amazing Reviews Make Great Copy fior Use in Your Ads, Programs, Handbills “Bound to be the talk of the town . . . represents for sheer magnitude, sheer destruction and thrills, probably the high peak of the cinematic air circuses . . . most thrilling of the whole long line of aviation films.” —John S. Cohen, Jr., N. Y. Sun “It left this observer gasping . . . There is no denial of the Vnajesty of the scenes. ... To attempt to describe that dog fight of the air in a few words would be to do an injustice as chapters could be written . . . such air spectacles are rare and far between.” — N. Y. American ‘Hell’s Angels,’ the most expensive film in the history of motion pictures . . . tremendously effective.” —Rose Pelswick, Eve. Journal “ ‘Hell’s Angels’ quite surpasses any¬ thing else that has been done . . . justifies the vast sums of money spent on it in the sheer opulence of its aerial photography ... is thrilling and awe¬ some beyond description . . . not a moment which does not carry realism to the ultimate degree.” —Thornton Delehanty, N. Y. Eve. Post “Let’s give a round of applause for the production’s superb battle shots. Never before has the war in the air been fought so realistically. . . . One feels oneself a part of the action. And that means it’s all mighty thrilling.. .” —Irene Thirer, Daily News “Howard Hughes has produced an aviation spectacle the like of which has not previously been seen on the screen . . . breath-taking and thrilling beyond description. . . .Not for a long time have I seen anything as enthrall¬ ing.” —William Boehnel, N. Y. Telegram “ ‘Hell’s Angels’ . . . absorbing and exciting . . . These air scenes, with the crashing of flaming planes, have never been matched on the screen.” Mordaunt Hall, N. Y. Times “It has been many years since Broadway has seen so dramatic a love story as found in ‘Hell’s Angels.’ This romantic tale has the most powerful climax ever given a talking picture. —William Griffiin, Ed. Sun. Enquire “Magnificently photographed and containing scenes that have never been approached. . . . Majestically brilliant . . . superb.” Richard Watts, Jr., N. Y. Her.-Trib. “The most impressive spectacle which this type of picture has yet offered . . . most beautiful shots and thrilling action the movies have yet built .”—Julia Shawell, Eve. Graphic. “No previous motion picture has more than skimmed the surface of air maneuvers, compared with the scenes young Mr. Hughes offers.” —Louella O. Parsons, Los Angeles Examiner ‘The most extraordinary output ever to emerge from the motion picture studios. An achievement in picture drama that will stand for a long time as a model to aim at. A sensational success—it has virile drama linking to¬ gether its spectacles, and in the va¬ riety of its appeal with suspense and humor it is electrifying.” —Monroe Lathrop, Los Angeles Evening Express “ ‘It cost $4,000,000 —and it has 4,000,000 thrills. This production has eclipsed every picture of its kind. Its grandeur towers above any spectacle yet thrown on the screen. Keeping straight to the story, Director Hughes has made an intensely human docu¬ ment .”—Eleanor Barnes, Los Angeles Illustrated News “ ‘Hell’s Angels’ received the great¬ est reception ever accorded a picture in Seattle.” —Harry Mills, The Seattle Star “ ‘Hell’s Angels’ surpasses any pic¬ ture Seattle has ever seen.” —Mayor Frank Edwards, For the City of Seattle TWO TRAILERS Unlike many other types of selling, motion picture promotion must be dramatized. The test of good showmanship lies in getting an emotional appeal into the exploitation of talking pictures. Guess-work has no place in the well-regulated box-office stimula¬ tion. Day in and day out, the exhibitor must “keep everlastingly at it.” Personal contact in any sales promotion is an encouraging help. The nearest to selling your pictures by personal contact is the in¬ timate touch trailers give your coming attractions. And while they are on your screen, they are your most effective box-office helps. They hammer home all the selling points of your posters, lobby cards, billboards, newspaper copy, stunts, and other tie-ups.
