You Asked for It-SO HERE IT Is! YOUR RADIO TRAILER— PROFESSIONALLY RECORDED SPOT ANNOUNCEMENTS! ; Once again Warners scoops the industry with the hottest ad idea in years. * MHlere’s how it started: We've been watching and studying the use of radio by showmen everywhere. We learned this: The most economic, the most effective way to put radio’s intensive local coverage to work is with the consistent use of spot announcements—one-minute and half-minute hard-hitting plugs. * Then we did this: We prepared professional, custom-built radio spots on transcription on several Warner Bros. releases. We used music, live talk, dramatizations—every trick in the radio catalogue—to do the best job for every type picture. * Then=we proved it! For several months these recorded spot announcements were used by a number of selected West Coast theatre operators . . . with tremendous success! This was it—streamlined selling in the 1942 manner—and it brought immediate results at the boxoffice. id OW Rea dy Fo i Yo u!
