FREEMAN COMPANY pub/fcists 10/1/57 Mr. Morris Willson San Antonio LIGHT San Antonio, fSexas 1 It was good to hear that the LIGHT will participate in the I Texan CopaGirl Search, and we now have Houston, Austin, El I Paso, and Fort Worth as well as your great city in this l unusual pronotion. I an sending along naterial which we called our Set #1, and also our Set #2 of information for your initial stories, and will send along the other naterial on the dates listed: Set #3 on October 4; Set #4 on October 7; and Set #5 on October 11?╟≤ We are also preparing a striking ad to insert in the LIGHT starting next week as soon as we get it ready, which will back up your editorial pronotion with a real wallop. With five or six Texas cities represented, I believe we can open up the seal-finals to 25 entrants for the final audition, but of course that depends on how you want to run it, and on the quality and quantity of the entrants. We will start our auditions in Houston on October 15, and should hit San Antonio about the 17th, so please advise if that tine is OK. A nore definite date will be forthcoaing in a few days. 11 Paso is staging its auditions at its T? station; Fort Worth is staging its auditions poolside at a top hotel; I mention this just to give you an idea of what sone of the other cities are doing. Please let ae hear fron you on your ideas for an audition place and setting, and let ne know if I can help. I will be in Texas on October 7to set up details and will keep in constant touch with you. Meanwhile, let us know if there is anything we can do to help you and Texas in this pronotion. Mr. Sntratter would like to invite the editors of the papers participating in the Search up to the Sands as our guests for the Hovenber 20th opening of your Texas CopaGirls so you can actually see then at work, transfomed fron average, pretty girls into glanorous starlets of the enteitainnent world.
