The idea is for the amateurs to submit photo¬ graphs giving the best pictorial interpretation of the title “Nothing Sacred.” Suggest it to your local editor as a sure circulation-builder. The idea is in the comedy spirit of the film, and the possibility of straight shots and gagged up photos that ex¬ press the title is limitless. WHIRLING CHAIR SELLS NOVEL CDMERY ANGLE Here’s a lobby stunt that will help to sell the fun and frolic of your new Selznick hit. Install a whirling chair of the piano stool type in a prominent spot in the lobby and have a mem¬ ber of the house staff in attendance. Leading away from the chair have a red line painted on the floor for a distance that can be determined by experi¬ ment. In order to get your patrons interested in the stunt, have a sign lettered up announcing, “ Fredric March says that all dames are dizzy! Is nothing sacred? Prove that he’s wrong and try the whirl¬ ing chair. Free tickets to any lady who will prove Fredric March wrong by walking the line after she’s been in the whirling chair.” If patrons are shy about offering themselves as volunteers, prime the stunt by having usherettes or other feminine members of the staff go through the stunt. Everybody’s bound to participate in the stunt and it will get you much valuable word-of- mouth advertising. ♦ «r 3’SBACE 6ETWWN SECOND ANOTHIRP PLANES....
