Open Letter
to
Skowgoers...,
A few days ago, you might remember,
we told you about a llrtle picture called
"My Pal, Wolf."
We sort of went overboard In telling
you about the show and several people
have asked If maybe we hadn't been a
little deep In pre-Christmas cheer in
being so enthusiastic ... It seems no
body has heard about the picture!
Under ordinary circumstances, nobody
will.
It's on of those llrtle shows you don't
hear about until It's come and gone
. . . what we call a "sleeper" In our
business.
But, after seeing the picture, we got a
bit wound up . . . decided to tell you
about It ... so that when It does get
here, you'll at least have an idea what
to expect.
We hope to be able to give you a date
on the picture pretty soon.
Remember the title "My Pal Wolf".
