The policy of working along from week to week is wrong. You will never forge ahead in a big way unless you plan ahead and work your plan. Starting with August, what are YOU planning to do to increase your attendance and profits for the next year? You will show good programs, run your house in a high class way, see to ventilation, be courteous to the public. But will strangers know about what pains you are taking for their benefit? Not unless you advertise. You must make advertising do more and more for you. Make it bring strangers to your theatre, build up confidence and prestige, educate the public to what your theatre stands for — what you are doing, the features and programs you are showing. The only way to do this effectively and in a real way is to ADVERTISE SYSTEMATICALLY— according to a plan. Subscribers are welcome to write to us for specific advice. Pet. Play Index Page Pet.
