Therefore, your first screening should be for "'by-line"’ reporters assigned by editors of all local papers to cover the news angle. This is suggested in order to get news breaks for the picture. If you think you will hurt your regular movie critics, invite them too. And, if you think you'll get better and bigger breaks by playing ball with one paper — then hold your screening exclusively for the publisher and any member of his staff he wants to bring along, such as editorial writer, managing editor, city editor, etc. The important thing is to open your campaign off the movie page, and on the news pages. That is the only way to properly set up the importance of this picture. “AMERICANISM WEEK" A timely promotion idea and a good build-up for your showing of "Confessions of a Nazi Spy.,' Mayor makes official proclamation, declaring week before your showing as Americanism Week."' Features would be: Honoring newly naturalized citizens; speeches and editorials on Americanism by prominent business men and educators; a parade in which Boy Scouts, veteran organizations, and school children participate; special school assemblies and ‘Parents Day’ at which pledges of Americanism and allegiance to the American flag are given; charity show for refugee organization. This would be an appropriate time for you to play such featurets as "The Declaration of Independence”, "Lincoln In the White House" and "Sons of Liberty." What “Nazi Spy’ Stars Say About Their Roles WHAT THE STARS SAY. EDWARD G. ROBINSON says: "In making ‘Confessions of a Nazi Spy’, | feel that | am serving my country just as effectively as if | shouldered a gun and marched away to war." LYA LYS says: "'l was born in Berlin, Germany. | personally felt the hand of Nazi persecution, because | refused to make pictures for Hitler. When | was leaving Nazi Germany, | was removed from the train and held in custody for six days. It is plain to understand why | have a personal delight in playing in this picture which | hope will awaken everybody to the scourge of Nazism." DOROTHY TREE says: "After seeing ‘Confessions of a Nazi Spy,’ people will know that a great lesson has been driven home." [8] These are no ordinary “raves”... They are honest, sincere statements made by the stars of this picture, concerning their individual roles and the characters they play. They make an excellent 3-sheet “A” board display for your lobby or out front; also an effective throwaway and mailing piece. Use photo blow-ups of the star heads. Their statements are also the basis of a feature story on page 14. FRANCIS LEDERER says: "Even though my role is an unsympathetic one | was glad to have the opportunity to play my part in awakening the United States to the menace of Nazi propaganda and espionage." PAUL LUKAS says: "It was easy to portray the head of the Nazi Spy ring and a pleasure to expose men of his type. Americans should be aroused to the viciousness of such men operating in this country." FERDINAND SCHUMANN-HEINK says: "'l am of German birth. | consider it a privilege to work in ‘Confessions of a Nazi Spy’ and contribute my humble share toward correcting evil conditions that exist today."
