(Shopmen's Trade Review.)
Our idea of an active showman
is R. K. Agle, who headquarters
at the Appalachian Theatr* in
Boone, a small college town in
western North Carolina, as dis
trict manager for the Statesville
Theatre Co. And when we say
active? we mean just that. Just
as we had begun to list a few
activities, along Came another.
So hare we go again.
Well, for on? thing, Showman
Agle was named, for {he second
time, Watauga county chairman
of the recent March of Dimes
drive ? a selection based, it would
appear, on his ability as a go
gettar.
Showman Agle is alert in
every tie-up possibility. Time
was when local residents could
call their friends via telephone
without using a number, but the
telephone company soon chang
ed that by issuing a directory.
When more names were added,
the Boone theatre man performed
a public service by listing them
(and their numbers) on a hand
bill which he distributed to ;
homes and business places. The
accessory contained a message
about his current attraction, plus <
the statement that the theatre
would cAll one telephone number ,
a day, and if the person receiving
the 'Call could tell what was play
ing?; iie or she would receive a
gueftt ticket to the theatre.
Well, that's all right as far as '
it ,-goea. In fact, it's swell. But
we're not through yet.
When Agle heard that Appala
chian State Teachers College was
holding S. P. (secret passion)
Week, during which time the
girls pay for everything, he took I
the bull by the horns and placed
a display on the campus inviting
the girls to pay their own way
to a special matinee of Mono
gram's "Jiggs and Maggie in
Society," and bring in their S.
P's free of charge.

We'll stop here now, but you
can bet that before these lines are
set in type, Agle will have put
over another smart piece of
showmanship. ,
And, by golly, he has. Just
reaching our desk is a handbill
tieup with a local hardware store
in connection with 20th-Fox's
"The Shocking Miss Pilgrim."
Tie-in copy points out that "it's
really shocking the impression
we can make on our summer
friends through a clean, Cour
teous town by cleaning up and
painting op." Copy further points
out that all the equipment
necessary can be purchased at
(he hardware store, then adds
the information that "The Shock
ing Miss Pilgrim" is playing at
the Appalachian.
Now take it easy for a few
minutes, Mr. Agle. We can't
keep up with you.
