The Charge of the Light Brigade (Warner Bros.) (1936)

“TH ‘CHARGE of the LIGHT BRIGADE’ “BAPL OLPAPESCH NOVEL FIVE-DAY CONTEST The unique angle in this new five day contest is the way it brings in scenes from the picture which do their own plugging. Each set illustrates action, spectacle and love. Plan is to match up the poem lines with the illustration they best describe. It’s not as easy as it looks, but it’s not hard enough to discourage the fans. The five day angle gives the newspaper a circulation break, too, which should make it easy to plant. Five illustrations available on Mat No. 505 — 50c. Order direct from Campaign Plan Editor, 321 West 44th Street, New York City.
