Getting Free
Ads In Film
Big Business
HOLLYWOOD (UP) . There's a
big business in Hollywood putting
free advertising for a bottle of
beer, a refrigerator or an auto
mobile in the movies,
rhe price runs from $200 for a
mention ,on a network radio show
to $10,000 for a mention in a
movie. There are ethics in the
business, hdwever, Ted Lewis, one
of the leaders, says. He dosen't,
throw free advertising at you un
less it belongs in the picture.
"I perform a service for pro
ducers," he said. "When they need
a set furnished, they call on me."
Lewis is one of the pioneers and
leaders in this strange Hollywood
industry devoted to getting free
plugs in movies and on the radio.
He and his cohorts persuade radio
writers to write jokes around the
names of such things as Comp
tometers or Electroluxea, and in
duce movie careramen to feature
closeups of a pack of Chesterfields,
Get Dividends
In return, when the writers play
Doker the day after a big snow,
they can raise one vacuum cleaner
nnd call bv one washing macnine
Lewis, who specializes in tne
movie end of the business, figures
that a producer who puts on
scene in a bar is going to have to
Dn nut and stock the bar wltn
supplies.
"I supply them free, ne ex
plained, "ft doesn't cost the pro-Hnrpi-
flnvthine and he dosen't
have to worry about it. the manui
facturer gets paid by the adver
tisina.
All I ask is that they have a
bottle of Miller's Hi-Life beer on
the bar.
Lewis supplied a.ceuple oi sacks
of a client's stable feed for
horsev scene in Hary M. Popkins
'Here Lies Love." His biggest jop
, . ' .U.1J l
was rpDrodUCina every sueu m
Schwab's drug store for another
movie set. 1
"One manufacturer offered me
$10,0OQ for getting a soft water
mentioned in a picture," he said,
"I turned it down. Sure, they
would have done it for me, but it
wouldn't be ethical,"
Plants His Advertising .
Lewis used to be a producer him
self and turned out the memorable
war picture "Walk in the Sun,"
Now bis many friends among pro
ducers toss their scripts to him
to see where he can furnish their
sets. Last month, he planted ad'
vertising in six movies.
"The writers for the Jack
Benny, Dennis Day and My "riend
Irma shows are always up in our
offices looking for gags," he added,
Once Jack Benny used a gag
kiddina the whole business. It
went something like this:
Rochester; Where's your. West
inghouse electric blanket, boss?
Benny: We don't have an electric
blanket. .
'Rochester: We do now.
Benny: A Westinghquse?
Rochester: Now we have two.
Cap Kidd
Had Good
Publicity Man
HOLLYWOOD (UP) - An expert
on pirate life and lore says Cap
tain Kidd must have had a good
press agent.
Actually, retired Lt. Crrtdr. K. D.
Ian Murray says, Kidd was just
peanuts as a pirate.
"He doesn't deserve to be as
famous as he Is," Murray said.
"Many other pirates were worse
than he. He had the had luck to be
singled out and made an example
Of." "v
Murray, who boned up on pirates
during 28. years-at sea with the
British, navy, is in Hollywood as
technical adviser on a comedy
about pirates, Univcrsal-Interna-tional's
"Double Crosisbones."
I saw the movie about Captain
Kidd,-" he added. "It was greatly
exaggerated."-
Murray doesn't demand, how
ever, thut the movie-makers ad
here, too strictly to the letter of
truth. In "Double Crossbones," for
instance, they assemble Henry
Morgan, Captain Kidd, Blackbeard
and Anne Bonney at a time when
some had been dead for years and
others were still in 'school.
Secret of Success
"The secret of success as a tech
nical adviser is being adaptable,"
Murray shrugged.
Murray got his job after he had
gone to Hollywood to retire, apT

GI's Pin-Up
Girl Ta Play
Film PiR-Up
HOLLYWOOD (UP) Puring the
war, Adele Mara was voted the
armed forces' most popular pip
up girl, i
On the principle of giving the
boys what they want, Miss. Mara
is also the chief pin-up girl of a
current movie about the war.
She plays the war bride, of a
combat Marine in Republic's entry
in the Academy Award sweep
stakes, "The Sands of Iwo Jima.
"The boys picked Miss Mara for
this spot .five years ago," a studio
spokesman said. "We're just giv
ing them what they want."
The whole thing started- during
1944 when Some 10,000,000 fight
ing mert from Berlin to Iwo Jima
were mopping up the enemy and
reading the armed forces periodi
cal, Yank.
The editors of Yank jammed it
full of pin-up pictures to remind
the boys what they were fighting
for. Among them from, time to time
were pictures of Miss Mara, whose
smile and shapeliness lent them
selves to the purpose

"They got so many letters about
the various pictures," Miss Mara
explains, "that pretty soon they
took a poll and they ran repeats
on the girls who drew the most
mail. They told me I topped them
all.
"They ran my picture 27 times,
or more than any other pin-up girl,
In fact, the only people who got
their pictures in Yank more times
than I did were President Roose
velt and General Eisenhower."
Gen. MacArthur came tn fourth.
"Miss Adele Mara is without
doubt the armed forces most popu
lar pin-ur girl," Yank commented
editorially in early 1945.
"I made sure the executives at
the studio heard all about this,
a number of times," Miss Mara
added. "I think that may have had
something to do with their giving
me the part."
