Editorial content. „Steve Did.
Soon as we asked Steve Farrar for some of his
throwaways on white paper, he sent in a lot, and
we are reproducing a couple to show his general play of layout.
Steve, who runs the Casino, Eldorado, Ill., is seldom,
if ever, guilty of getting out throwaways that run all type lines
clear across. He has used up eleven cuts of Ritchie
and fourteen of Chaplin since the first of the year, but he gets
one cut on most bills and the rest carry two.“
Throwaway for The Bank by the Casino, Eldorado, Illinois.
„L-o-o-o-k Who‘s Here!!
Casino To-night
Charles Chaplin, The Bank
Best Thing Chaplin Has Ever Done“ (...)
„As he wrote some time ago, he is playing in part to a
patronage of miners, and finds that the throwaway
will do better work for him than newspaper advertising, so he supplements the latter with the former and gets both
classes. Generally the throwaway are either pink or green,
but always he gets away from the formal composition
and tries to get a snapper line for an attractor. The throwaway
does not admit of much artistic effect. It is good
in its class when it attracts attention and can be grasped
at one glance.“ (...)
Casino (later Orpheum), 923 Fourth Street, Eldorado.
On 4th Street now part of Sutton‘s Plumbing, the Orpheum
was built on the site of the Casino Theater which was
built in the early 1900‘s and burnt in 1915 and twice in 1927.
