I don't, but my guess would be local advertising was paid for by the theater itself. Not sure if they had a % thing worked out as far as advertising costs.

 

However, I do believe that the reason Donald Duck is mentioned in the ads has nothing to do with Disney paying for mentioning him, but rather that theaterowners knew he was more popular than some of the movies being advertised and would bring people in.

Wednesday, June 14th, 1939

 

Letr's start off with two fashion pieces that appeared today. (By the way, I hope you are all checking out GlamAmor's Cinema Style thread and links in the My Favorites forum. It's a great look at classic movies and also places in Hollywood that bring back the Golden Age of the city!)

Many interesting items in your recent posts, filmlover.

1. Margaret Booth's piece about women working behind the scenes in Hollywood.

2. Katharine Hepburn being included in the list of actresses trying to make a comeback. This shows her standing after the "box office poison" of costume pictures that didn't succeed. She's the only one in the list who became a star again.

3. The ad for *Mr. Smith Goes to Washington* makes it sound like a comedy.

4. *Three Strangers* is announced as an upcoming Bette Davis movie. Is this the script that Negulesco made a number of years later with Geraldine Fitzgerald?
