90 PUBLICITY MEN IN POST Number of Booster* In S. Rankin Drew Unit Assures Body of Most Effective Advertising. Os all the 11,000 posts of the American Legion In the United States and In 14 foreign countries, the one that slips into the lime-light most often is the S. Rankin Drew unit of New York city. The fact that the post has 90 publicity men on its roster should explain it all. Named for the first American actor to die in France, some of the country’s foremost actors of the legitimate stage sought membership following their war experiences. Motion picture men and those interested In the allied amusements, along with 35 genuine and successful, more or less, playwrights complete the membership. The post stages an annual show in the New York hippodrome, calling a meeting of its membership to assemble a stellar cast. The 90 publicity men do the rest and the money is given to charity.
