"E. A. McKenna is manager of the new Joy theatre in New Orleans, a modern, first-run theatre where showmanship was displayed in the exploitation of Film Classic's 'Unknown Island'."
"Exploitation trailers such as this may be new in New Orleans, at any rate, this one stopped the holiday shoppers on crowded streets."
"Prehistoric animals atop the marquee are 30 feet high. But not too difficult to build in any good sign-shop."
"Joy theatre marquee, largest in the South, is 110 feet long and every inch of it is usable display space for modern marquee letters in various sizes and colors. Sign faces busy Canal Street in downtown New Orleans."
