DISCOVER YOUR LOCAL SHARE-THE-RIDE GIRL The California department of motor vehicles chose Marjorie Riordan, who plays the daughter of “Mr. Skeffington,”’ as their “Share-the-RideGirl.” Remind your community to help the war effort by sharing rides, and pick your own local “Share-the-Ride-Girl,” arranging for newspaper and picture coverage. Be sure to tie in the fact that Miss Riordan won the title for California.

SKEFFINGTON WAR BOND AUCTION Here’s an idea to promote your local War Bond Drive. It’s been tried—with success—in New York. One of the highlights in the film is an oil portrait of Bette Davis as Fanny Skeffington. Taking this as their lead, the National Arts Club in New York sponsored a series of drawings and sketches of the star as she appears in the film. The sketches were placed on auction and sold to the highest bidders in War Bonds. The event netted many national news and picture breaks [illustrated, left} and a good total in War Bond sales. By contacting your local art schools or clubs, you can arrange to sponsor your own “Mr. Skeffington” War Bond Auction. Or you can sponsor a contest among school art classes, offering a War Bond prize for the winning portrait, and guest seats for runners-up. Winning portrait can be exhibited through run of film, with arrangements for newspaper coverage on opening day.
