The Conspirators (Warner Bros.) (1944)

A StuntA-Day These Ways: LUCKY NUMBERS The climax of “The Conspirators” takes place at a roulette table with numbers 8, 6 and 5 figuring heavily in the film’s denouement. Announce in your lobby, a week before your opening, that all holders of ticket stubs containing two of these three lucky numbers consecutively (that is, 86, 85, 68, 65, 58 and 56) will win guest seats. Your regular ticket stubs should contain these combinations in sufficient quantity to give the stunt wide general appeal. PERSONALS The film’s title lends itself to teaser Personals spotted in the local ' newspapers in advance of your playdate. You can use the following tags or others in similar vein: “CONSPIRATORS against humanity! I know who you are! Beware, for I shall expose you! Friday. Strand Theatre. Paul Henreid.” “Wont someone help me? ‘The Conspirators’ are plotting against me! Meet me Friday, Strand Theatre, for full details. Hedy Lamarr.” “Live, laugh and be merry —for tomorrow—only WE can tell you what tomorrow brings. See us Friday at the Strand. ‘The Conspira tors.’ ”’ BALLY Specify that on a certain day 3 “Conspirators’ will roam a certain district. Offer War Bond prize or guest seats to persons who spot any one of them. They should be identified by prominent characteristic — e.g., hat brims pulled far down, coat collars up, hands menacingly in pockets, etc. A variation would be to offer special prize for first person to see all three together, in conspiratorial huddle.
