Newspaper Contest Newspaper essay contests on con troversial subjects, especially on matters of the heart, always go over in a big way both for the theatre and the paper sponsoring the stunt. “T Like Your Nerve” provides you with just the right kind of a subject for such a contest ... “Do the girls of today like nervy fellows?” Plant that question on the pages of a local newspaper and you'll have every girl and boy in town getting writer’s cramp in a race to get their opinions in print. Limit the answers to one hundred words with the prizes to include a couple of small cash awards, theatre passes and newspaper subscriptions. The contest should be run coincident with the showing of the film and the announcements should point out that the correct solution may be had in “I Like Your Nerve”. A promise that the pictures of the winners will be run by the paper or perhaps shown on the sereen in a trailer will be an added incentive to the contestants.
