Free Shows Boost Popcorn Sales<br />
To BOXOFFICE:<br />
We note in BOXOFFICE, issue of November<br />
22 on page 27, that Lee Hofheimer of Columbus,<br />
Ohio, is giving free admissions and<br />
asking the patrons for justice on the discriminatory<br />
and confiscatory tax our Uncle promised<br />
to withdraw after the war emergency w'as<br />
over, which ended with World War II. He<br />
states his gross is very pleasing and will adopt<br />
this policy as long as his dear patrons will<br />
drop their willing amount in the kitty after<br />
the show.<br />
Hoping you will pass this little Wednesday<br />
and Sunday deal on to our other over-taxburden<br />
friends, we have increased our take<br />
by giving free shows, double features, serials<br />
and some dates three to four cartoons too.<br />
And all we ask of the patrons is to buy one<br />
box of delicious butter seasoned popcorn, and<br />
we really pack the boxes, too! Not only are<br />
they pleased with the corn, they come back<br />
for the second and thli-d boxes and end up<br />
taking some home. We are really helping the<br />
farmers who grow this corn, making our patrons<br />
happy with good pictures, enjoyment<br />
of eating the popcorn, and creating the goodwill<br />
of attending our regular admission pictures,<br />
which our bankbook shows something<br />
has happened since adopting the popcorn<br />
deal, and that's our enjoyment of seeing a<br />
packed house, and hanging our Standing<br />
Room Only sign out every Wednesday anc|<br />
Sunday.<br />
May this help others to combat the dis-l<br />
criminatory and confiscatory tax that Uncl«|<br />
Sam has forgotten to discontinue. After ouil<br />
everlasting effort in helping him with thei<br />
bond drives, the blood banks, our Red Crosil<br />
drives, etc., we fell in line with the otheil<br />
million sound screens to tell them to votejl<br />
While we are trying to make Movies Bettejj<br />
