OPTICAL ILLUSION LOBBY DISPLAY STUNT
| N the picture a hypnotist is called in to work on the members of the party in an effort to make them recall the happenings of the night and thereby solve the mystery of who killed Vic Huling. One of the hypnotist's gags is the rotating mirrors shown in the sketch at the left. Plug this angle with a lobby display that features several different types of optical illusions. A local optician or physics class teacher can assist you in fixing them up. He may also be able to give you information on other interesting illusions. Give the display a weird, supernatural background atmosphere, with banners as shown in the sketch. Have an attendant to draw the crowds, ask questions and tell about "Remember Last Night?"
IT S CREEK TO YOU BUT IT'LL CET EM GUESSING
ONE of the clues which helps to solve the murders in "REMEMBER LAST NIGHT?" is a Greek message which when translated reads: MEET ME IN THE WINE CELLAR AT SIX. Illustrated below is the message as it was found by the detective and the title for picture identification.
Contact the local newspaper and suggest to the editor that he run a contest offering ticket prizes to readers who can correctly translate the message which will help solve the mystery of "REMEMBER LAST NIGHT?" Also good for card throwaway. Two column mat R. L. N. No. 2 is available at all Universal Exchanges.

Moving Heads In ShadowBoxed Cocktail Glass
THE shadow box shown in the accompanying sketch plays up the wild party mystery angle with plenty of animation and flash. The bowl and stem of the cocktail glass are cut out and the space covered with a transparency. The large circles above it are similarly treated, as is the title below. A large disc is placed behind the frame in such a position as to bring the circumference level with the bottom of the bowl of the glass. Cut-out heads mounted on disc all around, so that when the disc is revolved by the small motor the heads will appear to be rising from the glass like bubbles. By placing separate lights behind the large circles over the glass, and working them on flashers, so that they light up one after the other, you will get an extra smash to display.
FOUR MYSTERY GIRLS For STREET BALLYHOO
THIS ballyhoo of four girls in red or green cloaks and hoods should cause plenty of talk and excitement, to say nothing of curiosity, around town. The sketch is selfexplanatory. Any costumer or dressmaker should be able to supply the cloaks and head pieces cheaply. The question marks can be pasted on. The last girl can hand out heralds whenever a large crowd collects.
