in cash Prizes for showmen ! ERE is every live showman’s opportunity to win some big prize money while he is putting over his Universal Serials and Series. Starting February, 1928, 156 prizes will be awarded over the following 52 weeks — three prizes a week, totaling £15, as follows: — First Prize £7 10 0 Second Prize £5 0 0 Third Prize £2 10 0 Every seasoned showman is awake to the money possibilities of Universal’s serials and series. But not every one has been pushing them to the fullest extent. Hence the contest — making your efforts doubly worth while. You get increased profits besides your prizes. To compete, just create your exploitation scheme, send us full details, together with specimens of your special billing matter, throwaways, etc., and photographs of stunts, tie-ups etc., and for Heaven’s sake, don’t let modesty stand in your way — for the best schemes frequently come from the most modest exhibitors. JUDGING Each week’s efforts will be judged during that week and prizes awarded within seven days. Every showman has a chance — neither size of house nor size of town makes any difference. There are 12 subjects, so that if you run all the Serials and Series, you have 12 chances a week. 52 weeks of competition and 3 prizes a week. 156 chances for you to win a prize!
