  Play Production - Press Agent Efficiency
Better business ever being the positive aim, it remains for the press agent, after he has selected his employer, has determined the class of persons to be reached, and has found his sales point—which is to say, the message he wishes to convey—to consider character of the advertising and " copy " to be used.
And although the press agent, eager to show results for the security of his position, generally is wary of bothering with cumulative " stunts " which take time to mature, he is trifling with his most valuable potential business by ignoring pertinent mediums that have inter-state and national circulations.
To that end, most resident press agents rewrite their metropolitan matter for distribution to certain out-of-town editors, in the form of a weekly letter; but it is up to the editors to make the matter available for local consumption.

PRESS agent, as a term, always seems to connote a theatrical connection, although there are press agents of federal and civil governments, of electoral candidates, of insurrections, of trade unions, of educational institutions, of industries of all kinds, of even the press itself, not to enumerate hundreds of other activities wherein advertising is considered profitable.
The theatrical press agent stands patent probably because the rest of his craft are cloaked by the non-committal description, advertising managers.
Acting as intermediary between a theatrical manager and the press, securing printed publicity and suppressing information that may exploit disadvantages or may be employed to better effect later, constitute but one of the officer's manifold lines of endeavor.

Lots of you would know what a press agent for me would or could do, and who might be able to fit me in between his other clients.
But keep very clearly in mind, that anyone who does anything as my press agent or any other kind of agent, that is, anything as simple as saying, "Hey, talk to Gerry Armstrong," is necessarily acting in concert with me, and therefore in willful violation of the California Judgment (R).
Whatever litigation flows from such a press agent relationship and activities cannot but be a litigation opportunity, to say nothing of a commercial opportunity, which I'm happy to share with the right person or persons.
