ua SMASH WINDOW DISPLAYS WITH LOCAL HABERDASHERS & Here’s a chance to grab off smash displays in leading merchants’ windows and attract a lot of attention to your show. A national shirt manufacturer, who is turning out a Dick Powell shirt, has made arrangements for window displays in over 12,000 stores throughout the United States. These displays will consist of cutouts, beautiful colored enlargements of Dick Powell, and numerous stills from the picture, together with theatre announcement. Each dealer will be supplied with all the necessary accessories except stills from the picture. These you can supply the dealer, when he contacts you. All you need do is to send your playdate as soon as set to the manufacturer, whose name and address is listed below. He will immediately get in touch with the dealers in your city and arrange for the display, at the same time notifying you of the dealers in your city who will have the displays. If you should desire any additional display materials, get in touch with the manufacturer. He will be glad to co-operate with you in anything you may ask him to do. If you shouldn’t have time enough to communicate with the manufacturer after setting your playdate, then, we suggest you visit your haberdasher, and speak to him about the Dick Powell Shirt display. This tie-up has already been used on ‘‘King’s Vacation,” but it is strongly advised that you repeat it on “42nd Street’, in which Dick Powell plays an exceptionally important role. Send your play date to MR. A. PORTUGAL, Care of F. Jacobson & Sons, 1115 Broadway, N. Y. C. This is how the Dick Powell shirt display looks. Note the sign in the center advertising “42nd Street’”’ as well as your theatre’s showing.
