SMASH LOBBY USED BY N. Y. CAPITOL
Here is the fine lobby used by the New York Capitol for “Employees’ Entrance.”
The color scheme used was black oiled cloth
background with letters in various colors, mostly white however. We suggest, that in the side panels used for the names of those
in the stage show, you use the two lobby suggestions shown at bottom of page.
N. Y. CAPITOL MADE UP SPECIAL FOLDERS
During the pre-release of the picture at the New York Capitol, the theatre got up 2 special circulars. The outside page of each, read:

— and their bosses!
| BEFORE YOU CO HOME TONIGHT BEFORE YOU GO HOME TONIGHT
The inside of the circulars showed eight hot scenes from the picture with dialogue lettered in balloons, similar to those shown in the ads. If you care to make up your own cireular, we suggest you use reproduction of Ad No. 29 for the inside, double spread. The lines used were as follows:

USE HERALDS AND TIME CLOCK FOR UNUSUAL LOBBY STUNT
Set up a time clock in your lobby the hands of a clock five times. Those having the time stamped on their heralds that correspond to the time that the hands of the clock stop at, will be given a free ticket to the sign over the time clock asking your next show. It is possible to vary patrons to punch the time on the this stunt by promoting gifts from Herald. Tell your patrons via the grocery and other stores, and screen and by sign over the clock, awarding the gifts as prizes. You that the opening night of “Employshould figure on about five prizes ees’ Entranee,” you are going to spin for each day.

TIE-UP WITH EMPLOYMENT COMMITTEES
No doubt in your town, there is a committee working to seeure work for the unemployed. Take an active interest in this committee’s work by offering your theatre as a meeting place before your show starts. You ean also secure a lot of publicity by offering a free ticket to every person that puts on new help during the picture’s run, if done through the employment committee.

Picture of Loretta Young also was used in centre spread with below it: Beautiful models who whisper their dread of the **Boss” who can “make” or break more women

Copy used on inside spread same as that used on No. 1.
Backs of both ecireulars were also identical. Picture of Warren William and Loretta Young, in love scene was used, at upper right side of page, with the words: WORKING GIRLS! MUST YOU BARTER YOUR KISSES FOR A $10 JOB?
Below was a box containing the words:

Underneath was the Theatre Imprint and Date of Showing, ag well as mention of the accompanying stage presentation. The circulars were distributed in the heart of the shopping district, and resulted in overcapacity business at the Capitol.
We suggest that you too get up a special flyer, made up from the ad and distribute them in offices and on the streets during noon hours and as workers are hurrying to and from their jobs. The heralds would make a most effective medium for this type of cireularization.
