He knew he winked at her: but the effort was lost, she didn’t. That is a mistake many exhibitors are making. They select pictures carefully, provide excellent programs, have comfortable seats, provide good music and afford a real service. They know they have daily entertainment the public wants— BUT THE PEOPLE DON’T KNOW IT! The people in your locality will never know a quarter of the good things about your theatre unless you tell them — and tell them often and persistently. You’ve got to advertise — if you don’t your competitor who does — and does it properly — is going to make you play second fiddle. Even having better pictures won’t save you — BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WON’T KNOW ABOUT IT. SCREEN OPINIONS will soon announce plans you can use in advertising your house and service in a systematic and effective way. Pet. Play Index Page Pet.
