Al Hartshorn studied the manner in which this had been handled in
some U.S. theatres ... made a couple of changes ..,. added many ideas of his own, and laid his plans right down to the very last detail, very carefully, before he made his move. He held dis

Then ... a ten minute adjournment for Pepsi and doughnuts ... and Al comments that he has never seen a hungrier bunch of females in his life ...
Helen took over again, drew for several lucky prizes ... nylons, pieces of jewellery etc., promoted for the occasion, and announced the proposed agendas for the next several meetings ...
A prominent Toronto hair stylist ... A beauty counsellor from one of the prominent cosmetic firms ... A live fashion parade by Coles of California, etc. etc. The gals went wild. Chet handed out a couple of hundred autographed stills, and after a pitch by Al
on student prices, and the coming Elmer shows, the meeting was
