Finske of the Colorado District office reveals that exploitation stunts from food shows to Yo-Yo tie-ups are helping materially in building grosses throughout the district. At the Publix Denver Theatre in Denver, the largest sporting goods store in town was prevailed on to name the Yo-Yo top tthe “Ted Mack Top” after the master of ceremonies at the theatre. In addition 3,000 tops Were given away by the theatre and the following week a Yo-Yo contest was held on the stage. All this was arranged by Publicity Director Shelley at no cost to the house. The. Denver also ran a Pure Food Show some time later with a good deal of advertising material distributed by the manufact | urers participating. At the Publix Newman Theatre in Kansas City, lucky number contests have been held for some time. A tie-up has recently been effected with a box-lunch company that has daily sales of over 10,000. All printed matter is taken care of by the company and all their trucks carry streamers advertising the current show. The same type of arrangement is soon to be worked out with a street car company that sells over 30,000 one dollar ticket booklets. ‘The theatre will get car cards featuring the current attractions every week in addition to other printing advertising the contest. Like many other Publix theatres the Newman arranged to distribute candy before the showing of ‘“‘Sweetie.”” So well pleased was the confectionery company that 300 one half-pound boxes of candy were given to the theatre to be distributed to the first ladies who attended the show on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, between 6 p. m. and 7 p. m., the weakest show times.
