It Pays to AdvertisePresented by East Lynne Theater Company at First Presbyterian Church - Cape May September 19-October 13, 2012 It Pays to Advertise, a “farcical fact” in three acts by Roi Cooper Megrue and Walter C. Hackett, was a hit on Broadway in 1914. This screwball comedy was twice made into a movie: a silent in 1919, and in 1931 with Carole Lombard. The premise – and promise – that anything can be sold is at its core, but it also examines the very nature and romance of advertising. Decades before AMC's Mad Men, this clever farce demonstrates that an ad campaign might be... | East Lynne Theater Company | 09/19/12-
