Showmen's Trade Review, April 13, 1940:
"Louisville, Ky.--A special pre-release premiere of Hal Roach's 'One Million B. C.' was held here last week, with Victor Mature, star of the picture, making a personal appearance."
Showmen's Trade Review, June 8, 1940:
"When the recent world premiere of Hal Roach's United Artists release, 'One Million B. C.,' took place at Loew's Theatre, Louisville, Ky., one of the highlights of the campaign was this ballyhoo truck which traversed the entire city.
The specially constructed pre-historic animal attracted plenty of attention, as did also the young man and woman attired in costumes similar to those worn by characters in the picture."
