Starting from your theatre each group (one or two men) must follow the trail of an "escaped Nazi pilot" that leads back to your theatre. Trail clues are placed along the entire route, the clues being in the form of a window card with the words "Northern Pursuit in City" imprinted on it, with the distance in blocks or squares to the next card indicated. Hunters note the location of each card and the award is made for the ones who complete the hunt in the shortest time. Arrange for newspaper to assign a reporter and photographer to the "northern pursuit." If possible, also set the trail along a street or highway that has the word "North" in it. LETTERS FROM OUR BOYS UP NORTH Feature a display (to promote war bonds) of letters received locally from neighborhood boys in Alaska, Iceland, Greenland and the Aleutians. Label the display: “OUR BOYS ... IN ‘NORTHERN PURSUIT’ OF THE AXIS ... BACK THEIR ATTACK... BUY WAR BONDS." Display the actual letters and if possible get photos of the boys to be shown with their letters. A newspaper story and picture of the display should be serviced to local papers. STREET STENCILS All streets leading to your theatre should be stencilled with this copy: "Adventure Ahead —Northern Pursuit." Have this copy enclosed in the outline of a snowshoe. Also follow through with these other street direction ideas: Arrows on poles saying "This Way to Northern Pursuit''; man on snowshoes and wearing Royal Mounted uniform with sign on back reading, "'l'm joining Errol Flynn on Northern Pursuit ... at the Strand." GET DISPLAYS INTO SCHOOLS, LIBRARIES The locale of the picture gives you an exceptional opportunity to get displays into local schools and libraries. Place large wall maps of Canada in reading rooms and geography classes with a blow-up of the special feature layout (see page 6) in 40" x 60" frame. Have ribbons lead from the action scenes on the layout to the approximate area on the actual map where the action takes place. If possible, arrange for an essay contest on the famous "Northern Pursuits" of history— famous explorations—awarding guest tickets for best essays. Print contest rules on back of herald, which also illustrates the feature layout referred to above. For younger students, imprint the color-in feature (see page 5) on back of herald and distribute in classrooms and outside school. Award guest tickets for best coloring jobs. ACTION SCENES FOR SPORT STORE WINDOWS Many of the grand action stills from your Vitagraph Exchange set show the use of winter sports equipment, such as sleds, snow shoes, skiis, wearing apparel, etc. Place these stills in local sports store windows with appropriate credits for your playdate. Actual equipment used by America's Ski Troops may also be effectively displayed, noting however that similar equipment is used by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. No endorsement by Errol Flynn of any item, however, must be stated or implied. Radio Spot Announcements ONE-MINUTE: ANN'R: Adventure ahead! Adventure Ahead! Adventure ahead!
