„The local aviator“
Editorial content. „Putting It Over“ (...)
Ames, Ia. – Joe Gebracht, of the Twin Star theater is always
digging up new ones. Here‘s a stunt on Sunnyside:
,I made arrangements,‘ said Joe, ,with the local aviator to go
up at noon when all the schools would be out and people
would be going home for lunch. I inserted an advertisement
in the papers one day before with nothing that would
even hint where it came from. Then I had five thousand handbills
printed and gave them to him. He flew low over the city
and college, throwing them out by the handfull.“ (...)
„The whole town and college were talking about it and this
being the repeat showing of Sunnyside I expected
a drop, but we did three times the business of the first run.
Over six hundred of the bills were brought to the
theater that night.“
Twin Star Theater, 121 Main Street, Ames.
