Modern Times Scenes

& Jack Albertson ran a midnight horror show at the Indiana

Theatre, Indiana Harbor, Ind. He broke a lot of laws

to put a double 24 sheet board on the sidewalk but got

away with it. Above is the effective street ballyhoo

Albertson erected for the occasion.

„The absence of material“

Editorial content. „Albertson‘s Teaser Window

      Attracts on Times

      Described recently in Manager Jack Albertson‘s campaign

on Modern Times at the Indiana, Indiana Harbor, Ind.,

was a teaser window idea that ran a week ahead and during

the first day of the date. Attached photo shows

the completed window with the Chaplin accessories.

      Seven days ahead, only the black velvet unit was shown,

and two days later, the shoes were added. Three days

ahead, the Chaplin cane was added, the derby the day after,

and day before opening and on first day, the full

window illustrated with theatre copy brought the curious

who wondered what it was about.

      Interest was kept high as the window usually

displayed a lot of merchandise and the absence of material

during the week helped built up the stunt.“
