Naughton Film Festival (JRN contract)

Not letting the Academy Award for Best Picture get in the way, here is a note that John Ringling North attached to a contract for RBBB appearance in Allentown, PA. "Get out and hustle and you know you'll have a good day..."
For the record: the sponsor only received 5% of their advance and nothing on the door sale. Ringling gives them permission to operate a parking lot and keep the money.

The 5% seems about right, in 1952 the Beloit Optimist club got
$2500, for the 2nd best day of the season.
