NE W YORK, July 1. — Television sponsors this week were digging into the till for heavy cash to sponsor three of the biggest, most elaborate and prestige-filled video series, which for sheer class material should match any yet to hit the cameras. Involved is the purchase by Schlitz Beer of all Pulitzer prize material, the contract-ing by Procter as Gamble (P&G) for Bernard Schubert's series of nearly 60 Broadway musical shows and the scramble between U. S. Steel and the N W. Ayer Agency for video rights to Theater Guild dramas. The Pulitzer material purchase by

:Renewal Pact • Rules Out Curbs Unless Korean Fighting Spreads

• W ASHINGTON, July 1. — Amid

tension of Korean hostilities, Wash-ington high officialdom is taking a "keep calm" attitude on possible re-vival of emergency priority programs affecting the amusement industry. Officials of the Commerce Depart-ment and the National Security Resources Board (NSRB) empha-sized that, for the present, no step is being taken to revive these pro-grams. The agencies, however, are in readiness to restore a standby emergency system if hostilities spread. Mobilization plans now being

drafted are only to be used in the event of full-scale warfare, it was explained. A Commerce Depart-ment spokesman said for the present no drastic effect on the national economy is in prospect Currently the amusement industry along with other industries is feeling some af-fects of the nation's stepped-up arms aid program in tightened steel sup-plies for construction and manufac-turing, but no steel allocation pro-gram is contemplated for the present. One direct effect on the inter-

national situation on the amusement industry, however, is a threat to the excise tax-reduction bill which went to the Senate after House passage this week (see separate story). lf hostilities spread, higher taxes and continued emergency taxes would be in prospect. Officials point out that there is

at present no law giving the Presi-dent the power for rationing, priori-ties, travel cuts and other attendant procedures.

Pay or Play, Sez Copa to Martin NE W YORK, July 1.—Tony Martin

has been charged with breaking his contract by the Copacabana which has asked the American Guild of Variety Artists (AGVA) to proceed against him to the tune of $34,500. Case goes back to November 28,

19413, when a deal was made for Mar-tin to work the Copa in February, 1947, for eight weeks for about $7,000 a week. Instead of staying the eight, Martin asked to be let out after three weeks due to a radio commitment, and agreed to play the additional five before March, 1948. The Copa contends it has repeated-

ly asked Martin to come in but he ha a not given any satisfaction. His objection, charged the Copa, was his refusal to play three shows. Under AGVA's play-or-pay rule,

an operator who doesn't play a per-former is liable for the full salary. On the same basis, a performer who doesn't play is liable for the amount the op agreed to pay him, said the Copa.

Godfrey Bewails Lack of Uke Tuning Standard on Sheets NE W YORK, July 1.—According to fouling up a very good thing by fail-

Arthur Godfrey, music publishers are ing to utilize a standard tuning sys- tem for ukuleles in marking uke

chords on sheet music. Godfrey, Colonna Carries whose TV and radio efforts in behalf of the instrument have been a factor in bringing it back to favor, decries, more in sorrow than in anger, each pubber using a different tuning basis in printing uke chords.

In an exchangc of letters with Syd Foley, of the Smith-Foley pubbery, the radioman advocates an A-E-C-G tuning system as being the easiest, most natural and most playable —but failing the A-E-C-G, he urges pub-hers to get together and use one uni-versal tuning system

Juke Ops Plan AFM Fight, Object to Copyright Change

NE W YORK, July 1. — Juke box operators, alarmed over the resurg-ence of musician demands for me-chanical performance rights, are lay-ing plans for an all-out fight against the move urged by James C. Petrillo, president of the American Federation of Musicians (AF16), at its recent convention in Houston (The Bill-board, lune 17). With federal legislation already

being mulled to support the mu-sicians' demands (The Billboard, June 24), operators fear passage of such a measure would strengthen the hands o/ those seeking to amend the Copy-right Act to remove the specific ex-emption against royalty payments now enjoyed by coin phonographs. Operator plans emphasize welding

a strong alliance between their own national committee, the Music Op-

erators of America (MOA). and phonograph manufacturers. And par-adoxically, they view the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), long-time op-ponent, as a potential ally in the early stages of the fight. Sidney H. Levine, MOA national

counselor, explained this week that ASCAP is expected to oppose P.-trillos move since they have no wish to share the royalty kitty. Assuming the accuracy of this interpretation, according to Levine. ASCAP might conceivably line up with the juke box industry to stall AFM's bid for royal-ties. ASCAP yesterday (30) refused di-

rect comment on Levine's prediction on how interested parties might align themselves when and if an actual (See MOA Draws Bead on page 104)

Form Covers Pre-'32 Tunes

NEW YORK, July I.--Songwriters' Protective Association (SPA) is readying a renewal contract high-lighted by a mandatory sliding scale for sheet music royalties and a formula for advances calling for an outright payment, or bonus, plus an advance against royalties, an SPA spokesman revealed Friday (30). The renewal form, being studied by

the association's council prior to sub-mission to pubber, is designed to apply to tunes copyrighted prior to 1992, the year of SPA's Inception. The association will tackle a second renewal form, covering post-1932 ditties, after the one currenlly under consideration is wrapped up with the pubbers.

Patterned on '47 Fenn It was learned that the centred

NEW YORK, July 1.—The Ameri-can Federation of Radio Artists (AFRA) New York local will move ahead on two fronts to combat the so-called "blacklist" of performers alleged to have Communist leanings, A resolution passed at a member- , ship meeting here Thursday (27) authorized union execs to proceed with steps to fight the problem.

Washington Pushes Probe; Moves Ahead Trammell Talk Approved

WASHINGTON, July 1. — Amid mounting Congressional Hill interest in legislation to expose communistic infiltration attempts in radio and TV, Chairman Niles Trammell, of the NBC board of directors, told a gradu-ating class of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National Acad-emy here yesterday (30) that the broadcast industry is "alert to the danger" of subversive activities. Delivering the principal talk at the graduation ceremonies, Trammell de-clared: "We welcome the assistance of the authorized agencies of investi-gation and enforcement in helping us keep broadcasting a vital force in the service of the American nation." Trammel's talk drew praise on

Capitol Hill which moved closer toward probing communism In com-munications and girded, too, for • showdown on the Mundt-Ferguson-Nixon Bill requiring identification of Communist-inspired sponsorship of radio and TV programs.

infiltration attempts in radio and TV has mounted steadily since the Korean outbreak after having been sparked by a Senate appropriations sub-committee's recent disclosure of secret testimony by FBI Director J.

Hoover in that testimony de-clared that some Communist fronters have gained entry into radio bertha and that one front organization has been monitoring programs and en-gaging In protest campaigns against anti-Communist commentators.

Beefs, High Rates Slice Sports Video Hot Potato -Local Headache

NE W YORK, July 1. — Next sea-son may find telecasting of big league baseball games at ebb tide. A com-bination of disenchanted club owners, squawks from the minor leagues, sky-rocketing charges for rights and regu-lar network daytime programing seems likely to cut sharply into the number of clubs whose games are now aired. This season all major league teams but the Pittsburgh Pir-ates are having at least part of their schedules scanned. Latest complication is the definite

emergence of regular daytime broad-cast skeds by CBS and NBC, both due to tee off this fall. The CBS programs will commence at 2 p.m. and gradually work back to 10:15 am., while NBC plans to begin It operations at 3 p.m.

Local Qaestioa The start of these shows will toss

the hot potato of continued baseball coverage squarely into the laps of lo-cal station managements. Altho the webs will urge affiliates to pick up their sunlight stanzas, the decision still will rest with each outlet The liklihood is seen that most will de-cide to derrick their diamond cover-age in favor of the network shows. Basis of this decision is likely to

be a careful analysis of the long-range financial potentialities of each deal. Altho a station retains all re-ceipts from local sales and gains but (See Baseball Game on page 11)

Hammond, Bess Die; Industry Is Shocked NE W YORK, July 1.—The radio

industry was shocked this week by the deaths of two prominent execu-tives here. Herman Bess, identified with New York stations since 1925, was found dead in the basement of his Newark N. J., home Thursday (29), and Charles Hammond, NBC vice-president in charge of AM ad-vertising and promotion, was found dead in his car near his Chappequa, N. Y., home Friday (30)• Bess, 53, probably transacted the

sale of more time than any other man not associated with a network. After his early association with such sta-tions as W ODA, W AA M, WGCP and W AAY. he was a partner in Bess & Schilling, one of the first agencies set up wholly to specialize ln radio. He later was sal« vice-president of WNE W for many years, and since has been associated with WfACA, WLIB and since last October, with WPAT, Paterson, N. J., as vice-president and general manager. He â survived by his widow, Mollie, and three zone, Jerry, John and Herman Jr. •

Hammond Dies Hammond, 41, was a Cornell

graduate and worked as a journalist on the New York World, New York Post and Literary Digest. In 1941 he joined the Bureau of Advertising of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association as director of promotion. He joined NBC in 1943 and became the network's advertising and promo-tion director the following year. In October, 1947, Hammond was named a vice-president. He leaves his wife. the former Rosemary Sistrom, and two daughters, Mary Louise, 8, and Deborah, 5.

Bristol-Myers Renews "D. A."; "Bank" Decish Due Bristol- Myers last week was reported having decided to renew

"Mr. District Attorney," which had faced cancellation because of the possibility its TV costa might run too high. A decision on the con-tinuance of the same sponsor's show, "Break the Bank," is expected shortly.

Eye Waterman for Gildersleeve Role Radio character actor WIlllard Waterman is reported in line for

the title role of "The Great Gildersleeve" next fall. Waterman would replace Hal Peary, who bowed out of "Gildersleeve" to ink an ex-clusive radio-tele pact with CBS. Waterman, a regular in the "Gilder-sleeve" cast, is being considered on basis of his vocal similarity to Peary's Gildy.

NBC-TV Seeks Lease on Carroll Theater NBC-TV is negotiating with executors of the Earl Carroll estate

for a long-terni lease on the Carroll Theater-Restaurant, located di-rectly across from NBC's Hollywood headquarters. Preliminary talks have been held with NBC Veepee Sid Strobe and network's New York engineers are expected here next week to survey the site.

The program was auditioned Wednesday (21) and bought Thursday (29) by Best Foods, for Shinola and Rit, to air on ABC-TV starting September 15, Fridays 10-10:30 p.m. The pro-gram was originally telecast as an on-the-air audition for a different account. It's a Lester Lewis package.

DuMont Plans Sales in Video Marts Via Low-Cost Pack NEW YORK, July 1. — In the face

of Increasing splurges by NBC and CBS to get high-cost name talent into TV, Du Mont —until the freeze is lifted —will concentrate its attention on selling TV markets via low-cost packages. At the same time, Mortimer Loewi, director of the Du Mont web, said this week that Du Mont will "sell markets and price, not time." This Is being interpreted as meaning that DuMont will focus on a combination of spot and network business, rather than a straight network operation. via delivering specific markets to TV advertisers thru film or kine pro-grams. Loewi's disclosures came during the

course of an interview aimed at as-certaining the Du Mont attitude toward the growing TV potency of CBS and NBC. Loewi declared that DuMont is committed to husbanding its resources until there are both more stations and receivers to warrant high time and talent expenditures, which means some time aftef the freeze has been lifted. The web's films already are under

es way, with kine exchange deals set up with the Don Lee net and W GN, Chicago. In addition, Chris Witting, assistant network director, reports that he negotiated some satisfactory deals during his recent trip to the Coast with several Hollywood film companies to handle their product on TV. He declined to name the outfits, but said they're only a step below the mal ors. As for the big-name TV competi-

tion skedded for next fall, Loewi considers the top-budget, all-star epics "murder for the entire indus-try," and said Du Mont will stick to its "lay-low" economical production policy until the freeze is lifted. "You don't put out a $4,000,000 movie if you only have six houses," he ex-plained, "and that's the situation to-day in television. Let TV develop future Hopes and Crosbys who will grow in entertaining ability and earn-ing capacity with the new medium as stations and sets increase in number." He added that Du Mont also is holding up construction of its blue printed ultra modern studio facilities, until

Take the Stand Order Looms for Richards Again HOLLYWOOD, Jai: 1.—Question

of whether G. A. Richards will be forced to take the stand in his fight with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for the life of his three 50,000-watt stations loomed again. FCC general counsel Benedict

Cottone again called to the stand Fllehards's physician, Dr. Roy E. Thomas. Medic stuck by his previous testimony in stating that the ordeals of appearing as a witness could prove too strong a strain on Richards' heart. Medic took the stand after the gov-

ernment completed a two-week ques-tioning of KlidPC Manager Robert O. Reynolds. Hot potato earlier in the week was the inconidstancies be-tween K MPC's report to FCC on num-ber of political broadcasts with those listed in station's log Cottone charged that there were 122 broadcasts made by or on behalf of presidential can-didates as shown by K MPC's log dur-ing 1944 which were not included in the station's report to the commis-sion. Cottone maintained this was a "deliberate attempt to deceive the Commission." Joseph Burns, of Rich-ards's legal staff, denied attempt at deception, admitted the station's re-port was incomplete and blamed it on the haste with which the report was made. Flare-up resulted when Cottone

probed into circumstances surround-ing payment of anti-New Deal broad-casts made by Rupert Hughes dur-ing the 1944 elections. KMPC's log showed Hughes was paid $50 per broadcast and sponsored by Republi-cans of California. Asked Cottone: "Isn't It a fact that Rupert Hughes

was paid $150 a broadcast and that the difference between what the sta-tion's log shows the Republicans of California were billed was paid by KMPC?" Burns vigorously objected, with Cottone addressing the examiner. explaining: "This is a very important matter because it could show that not only were regulations of the Corn, mission violated, but also the laws of the U. S., namely the Corrupt Prac-tices Act." Burns denounced Cottone's stand, claiming the Commission C01111-sel was going beyond FCC regulations.

the freeze thaws, and said that the web currently has two sites under consideration for that purpose.

Dough Limbed Lashing out at the million-dollar

programing activities of other net-works, Loewi pointed out that the number of advertisers who can afford a $40,000 show is very limited. He thinks this fact will ultimately act as a sales boom for DuMont's moder-ate-cost packages. "We think it's im-portant to the future of television,. said Loewi, "that a host of advertisers, unable to finance an extremely ex- " pensive operation, learn from ex-perience that they can use the me-dium effectively at a price within their reach. 11 they get the right show, they'll not only go on using it, but expand their use of it Take Dubfont'a Cavalcade of Stars for ex-ample. At $9.000 a week this program has done such an excellent lob for its sponsors that, of their own volition, they went out and shaped up an-other show Cavalcade of Bands for the same folks." Meanwhile, Loewi stated, the combined operation of Du Mont Labs and the video web is "making more money than CBS or ABC."

CBS-TV Hunts Culprit Who Slipped Grip on Parks Show NEW YORK, July 1.—CBS-TV this

week was holding a post mortem to find out who committed the boner that allowed the Bert Parks Daytime Varieties show to escape its clutches. The three-times-a-week program, al-ready acquired by Hunt Foods, was formerly under option and even ped-dled by CBS-TV. Anticipations were that it would certainly be programed as part of the web's daytime line-up corne next fall. ' The web this week learned that

one of its execs neglected to sign a little paper that would have given it programing rights. Now the field is wide open, and CBS-TV must com-pete with NBC-TV and other video nets to get the property. Young as Rubicam, the client's agency, is in the driver's seat and can drive a stiff bargain.

Execs at the agency were very hap-py over the situation. The purchase lifted the advertising organization off a very hot seat that would have got hotter if the property hadn't sold. Because of its confidence in the show, the agency, it is said, in an unprece-dented deal, paid more•than 15G to packager Lou Cowan for a one-year option to the program. Several weeks ago CBS-TV gave

an option to Lever Bros. for the Monday night 8-8:30 time, formerly owned by International Silver, which canceled its Silver Theater in the slot. The agency had Hunt Foods all set to take over the time segment but wasn't even given a chance to bid for it. Hunt Foods found that its agency wasn't even given first re-fusal on a time formerly owned by another of its clients.

"Silver Theater" Tests Switch Y&R to All Possible Pie Use NEW YORK, July 1. — Young 8.1.

Rubicam is committed to use film whenever and wherever it can for dramatic and situation comedies, ac-cording to Roland (Bill) Gillett, vea-pee in charge of radio and TV produc-tion of the agency. The agency ar-rived at this decision as a result of its test with the Silver Theater which was the first live show to switch over to films via the Jerry Fairbanks three-camera method. Among the agency-handled TV

shows now being considered for the same treatment Is The Goldberg,, Gil-lett said. He made clear, however, that the switch will depend on wheth-

er Gertrude Berg, creator of the series, okays the idea. The primary value of film, Glllett

stated, is that it can be replayed. Thus, the 12 films of Silver Theater, for ex-ample. tho the program has been canceled by its sponsor, International Silver, are now being peddled to other clients by the agency. The prop-erty is owned by the sponsor, but since the commerciale were live, other plugs can be inserted on second-runs. Gillett pointed out that stations

have made great strides in bettering their projection equipment which was almost primitive last spring.

To Television luthority awl Network Management: On May 5 last, Screen Actors' Guild urged you to

speed contract negotiations for performers in live tele-

vision shows.

Because of the existing deplorable conditions for

performers in live television, we again urge you to nego-

tiate Improvements for such performers without further

delay.

We stipulate such negotiations shall be without prej-

udice to the rights of any party to enlarge the scope of

negotiations after the pending NLRB proceedings are

concluded.

If the networks fear this would be an unfair labor

practice, we hereby publicly waive any right to bring

such charge.

If TVA fears this might set a precedent in NLRB

proceedings, we hereby publicly waive that precedent.

There are no strings to this offer. We would appre-

date a reciprocal offer by TVA for the Screen Guilds

to go ahead with negotiations in the field of televised

motion pictures, hut our proposal is not contingent upon

such offer by TVA.

We again urge you to start negotiations for per-

comics will probably get the heave-ho, noting that Fawcett has volun-tarily recalled second class applica-tions for mags featuring Joe Louis, Ralph Hiner and other sports figures. Radio and TV personalities stand

to lose a big chunk of dough if the post office clampe down. The aver-age deal calls for a substantial ad-vance, plus one-eighth to a quarter of a cent per copy, approximately 5 per cent of the gross sale. How-ever, the percentage can be as high as 10 or as low as I, depending on the name involved. Cash-wise, this means plenty, since the average suc-cessful comic book 'ells around 500,000 copies per issue, and toppers like Howdy Doody and the Walt Dis-ney eeries sell in the millions. In the case of Howdy Doody, pack-

ager Martin Stone gets a straight 8 per cent, via • special three-way deal with Western Printing di Lithograph-ing. Under the pact, Stone grants Howdy Doody rights to three of Western's subsidiaries: Dell Comics, Golden Books and Whitman Paint Books. Stone was guaranteed a mini-mum of three Issues a year and a cir-culation of 250,000 on each issue. Dell passed the million mark on the third issue. All of the new show business books

haven't fared as well as Howdy Doody, the, and air ratings apparently have nothing to do with sales appeal on the stands. According to a vet-eran comic publisher, comedy is harder to put over than slam-bang adventure stuff, which explains why Mr. District Attorney is one of the all-time best sellers, while a situa-tion-comedy book on Ozzie and Har-riet fizzled out after the first issue. The publisher also said that early in the game they'd discarded the idea of adapting radio scripts because, plot-wise, the two media are incom-patible.

Tle-Uos Limited Tie-up promotion is surprisingly

limited, since sponsor complications make it difficult for the books to garner many tree plugs on the air. A major exception to this rule oc-curred last April when Bob Hope devoted an entire radio broadcast to pitching his new DC national comic mag. Most of the big name books, like

Hope's, are authorized by the per-sonality himself, but recently the trend has been for the webs to put in for a rake-off. CBS's Arthur Pertes has set up agreements for books on My Friend Irma and Crime Photographer with Broadcast Fea-ture Publications; for Let's Pretend with DC, and for Suspense with Cor-nell. Books on CBS's Snarky Parker and Chuck Wagon are due in the fall. DuMont has a deal on Captain Video with Fawcett's, and Mutual Is taking a slice of the Bobby Benson books. In addition to the aforementioned

comics, other radio and TV books Include A Date With Judy, Gang-busters (DC), Gene Autry, Charlie McCarthy, Red Ryder, Roy Ropers, The Lone Ranger (Dell), Martin Kane, Private Eye (Fox), TOM Mix, Hopelong Cassidy, Bill Boyd West-ern, Don Winslow (Fawcett's), Straight Arrow (Parkway), Fibber McGee and Molly, Lucky Pup and Judy Canova. In some cases, like Superman and

Archie Andrews, the situation Is re-versed, and the comic book came before the radio or TV program. However, post-office execs say the ruling will apply regardless. Eddie Bracken's forthcoming TV film series on Dixie Dugan this fall will come under this category, along with The

Shadow, Nick Carter, Corlist Archer, Junior Miss, Dick Tracy and Buck Rogers. All comic books accepted u second class are required to carry six pages of extraneous material, featur-ing at least two other characters and two pages of text.

Pix Turn To TV Trailers For Ballyhoo

Paramount has been running special test trailer! in St. Louis, Chicago, New York; New Haven, Conn., and Baltimore with re-sults so gratifying that it has ex-panded its program to 30 tele towns and soon will be beaming pic plugs in all TV markets. During studio's recent sales convention here, fllckery topper Barney Balaban spotlighted firm's attitude toward tele by declar-ing that it would be "folly to ignore the impact of television on the Amer-ican public." Both 20th Century-Fox and Uni-

versal-International have arranged with National Screen Service to pro-duce special trailers on pix designated by the studios. Trailers will bear different messages on the same pic so as to avoid loss of home audience appeal. Under supervision of Na-tional's Ralph Wilshin, its production head, trailers will be filmed espec-ially for video, and not be mere dupes of theater trailers. Experimentation has proved that

trailers aimed directly at the tele audience reap far greater results than TV use of theater reels. According to Wilshin (who's backed up on this point by numerous other trailer mak-ers), theater coming attractions fare is produced with a large screen and pic house in mind. These are usually of a brash, punch-'em-hard type of commercial often found annoying when projected on the home screen. Fox's interest in tele trailers fol-

lowed the successful results of • test reel beamed in San Francisco on be-half of The Gunfighter pic.

No need to shout. The figures speak for themselves.

The BROADCAST MEASUREMENT BUREAU has just released the final

circulation figures of Study No. 2 and NBC continues in first place with the largest audience in all radio —reaching more-people than any

other single advertising medium. (90% of agency timebuyers use

BMB as their basic source of information in comparing network circulation according to a recent independent research spot check.)

Network radio is bigger than ever —as big as America —and the

BMB results show that each week, day or night, more than 7 out of 10 families listen to NBC. These findings give NBC a weekly audience advantage of over 11/2 million homes during the day and more than 21/2 million at night over the second network. And the greater the

intensity of listening, the greater is NBC's relative superiority over the next network.

The Truitts is an apt substitute for One Man's Family, which switched to a Monday thru Friday format this

month. The new series is a home-spun situation comedy about a small-town family and, as such, should appeal to followers of the previous airer. The six Truitts (ma, pa,

three teen-age offspring and gramps) are strictly lightweight sterotypes, in-clined to coyness, cliches and con-trived chit chat. However, the series is also commercial and slickly con-structed, which should add up to sat-isfactory hot weather programing for the summer season. Nostalgia paid off on last Sunday's

show when, at their children's sug-gestion, the middle-aged Truitts tried to revive their youthful romance via a return visit to Blossom Time, legit theater site of their marriage pro-posal. The kids' adolescent chatter about the matter was fairly funny (i.e. "Ask yourself, does mother still send you?"), and gramps utilized the prerogative of old age to toss off a racy description of ma's plunging neckline: "One of those dresses they pour you into and a little runs over." The plot resolved itself in routine fashion when pa Truitt gave the Blos-som Time ducats to his daughter's boy friend and ma let daughter wear her new dress. A self-sacrificial so-lution undoubtedly delighted young dialers and may have irked older members of the audience. As a sop to the latter, the Truitts retired to the porch to spoon at the finish.

Television was overdue in discov-ering the small town. If other rural character shows live up to the stand-

ard set by Hawkins Falls, tele-vision will make more friends in the sticks than did the mov-ies or radio. Writer Doug Johnson and Producer Ben Park have walked the tight-

rope between exaggeration and caricature and come up with a well-balanced hour which, on the basis of the first show, will deserve better than to fill a summer hole left by Jack Carter. The show is intended to mir-ror life in a typical Midwest small town. Opener depicted the effect on the town of return of a famous ac-tress who grew up there. The situa-tion, showing reaction of the bachelor town judge, a janitor who once squired the actress, the town cop, and the ladies who view all actresses as evil, was fairly routine. But the dialog and acting were alive and fresh. There was scarcely a cliche in the hour, with the exception of the tired old opening shot with camera surprising narrator, who comes up with snappy "Oh, hello there." Show was loaded with warm, good

humored situations which stopped just short enough of burlesque to be believable, such as the warm-up toot-ing of the five-piece band, Phinny Zites borrowing the barber's potted palm for a pageant, and the judge using his spittoon for a mirror. Andzia Kuzak, Mary Frances Des-

mond and Bill Snary, all new to local TV, did a competent job with songs spotted thruout the hour. Some film shots of the cast taken in Woodstock, Ill., a town of the same size, were used for background. The production was flawless. There

was not a missed cue, not a mike was seen; there was no studio background noise, and timing was of a tightness you expect in mid-season, but not on an opener. Jack Matffey.

In spite of its hush-hush documen-tary-style title, Top Secret is out and out melodrama, with comic strip dia-

log and plot to match. Within the limitations of this particu-lar type of cloak and dagger ,tuff, the new series does well.

The Vincent Lopez Show

Reviewed Saturday (241 4:30-5 p.m. EDT. Presented by the U. S. Treasury Savings Drive thru MBS. Producer-director, Sam Levine.

Vincent Lopez and his ork now have been put to work by the U. S. Treasury Savings Drive, New York,

in a half hour transcribed pro-gram of music, guest and em-seeing by the maestro. The unit comes off fairly well

number, however, which demands better and more versatile interpreta-tion they tend to sound tinny in com-parison to the current crop of records out on the tune. Lopez himself sparked the band's best effort with his featured piano playing of Cana-dian Capers. The ork's vocalists, Lee Russell and Ann Warren, both sing on the ordinary side. The show's entertainment quota was hyped con-siderably by guests Cab Calloway and Sandra Deal. The program was effectively held

together by Lopez's adroit emseeing, during which he contributed a few stories about talent he had fathered.

Anyway, the gal killed the Gestapo agent, picked up the lead block and presumably wended her way back to Switzerland without undue trouble at the border. An enigmatic footnote explained that she did it with her little nail file. The yarn was loaded with accents,

LBS Signs WOL, Comes Close' To Fifth Net, N. Y. to Coast NEW YORK, July I. — With the

signing yesterday (30) of WOL, Washington, as a key affiliate, the Liberty Broadcasting System (LBS) this week was moving ahead in its plans for a fifth coast-to-coast net-work by fall. LBS now is shooting for a New York outlet and a new Holly-wood affiliate, plus stations in New England and other areas north of the Mason-Dixon Line not yet covered. LBS also is on the verge of closing a deal for purchase of the Don Lee AM network on the Coast. The New York outlet in all likeli-

hood will be either WINS or W MGM, with the former the best possibility and a contract due to be set by Au-

Baseball Game TV on the Wane?

(Continued from page 6) about 30 per cent of revenue from network offerings, this doesn't tell the whole story. Most baseball deals are on a package basis, and do not call for full local card rate on the time. Also, only 77 dates are played at home, and increasing numbers of these are slotted at night. The result may well be that station ope will de-cide that a year-round commercial possibility at 30 per cent is a better gamble than the spotty baseball reve-nue,

Klee Uneetisfeetory It is unlikely that stations will be

able to compromise and take both, using web shows when no daytime games are skedded. Outlets trying to do that now with the comparatively smaller night game schedules have run into a real box. When they carry the games they get some viewer squawks and the ill will of web spon-sors and agencies, as well as the net work. When they carry the web shows, they get other viewer squawks and the ill will of the local sponsors, ball club and civic groups. Compro-mises, involving repeats via kine, also have proved unsatisfactory. Only a couple of weeks ago WBZ-

TV and WNAC-TV, Boston, were flooded with phone and mail protests because, on successive nights, they canceled out Milton Berle and Arthur Godfrey in favor of arclight contests. This will happen again in Boston where the Braves have 99 night games and the Red Sox have 14 night games. It also will happen in almost every other major league town this year. The forthcoming daytime problem

gust 1. LBS veepee and general man-ager, Jim Foster, was in town from the web's Dallas headquarters this week and had discussion, with the managements of bot ti outlets. If the International Ladies' Garment Work-ers' Union succeeds in buying WINS from Avco, LBS may seek to cement an affiliation tie anyway. The new Hollywood affiliate will undoubtedly be KMPC. With WOL, former MRS affiliate,

now in the LBS fold, the web is planning a heavy news operation, probably within the next 30 days, in view of the Korean situation. Three or more comm entators will be paeted shortly, said Foster. and will head-quarter in Washington, where a net-work news head and staff also will be located. Up to two hours of news and comment will be aired daily. If LBS acquires the Lee interests

as expected, it is possible they will operate independently of the LBS network, according to Foster, and re-main a portion of MBS. Should Bar-ton and Gordon McLendon, LBS own-ers, decide to make Don Lee part of LBS. Mutual might find its network gravely upset on the Coast. Programing on LBS calls for at

least one major sports event every day of the year. Football deals for the fall already are being set both with collegiate and pro outfits. Plans for other programs besides news and sports include two hours of origina-tions daily from New York. two hours from Hollywood, end two hours from other cities including Dallas, current LBS center. LBS plans a total of about 10 hours daily. LBS now has some 250 outlets

carrying ita baseball games, of which about 200 are permanent affiliates. The LBS line-up by October 1 is skedded to include over 300 stations. Most shows will be sold on a co-op basis.

was the basic reason that WC/3S-TV and WNBT, New York, bowed out of earlier coverage of the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants games, respectively. Other cities will have to face up to the same decision come fall. The solution, ultimately, will come when the freeze is lifted and more stations are airborne. Industry feeling is that TV sports coverage ultimately will fall to the ladle out-lets, as it ha, in AM, but there just aren't enough TV indies around yet. New York's WPIX (Giants) and WOR-TV (Dodgers) are examples of how Indies can move into the picture profitably and with few complica-tions of the web outlet.

DISK TAX TAKE OFF MILLION Makers' Levy Reflects 3-Yr. Drop in Sales Month by Month Decline

WASHINGTON, July 1. — The Bureau of Internal Revenue collected $5,551,051 from the 10 per cent manu-facturers' disk tax In the 1950 fiscal year which ended Friday (30), Bureau records showed this week. This was a drop of nearly $1,000,000 below the $8,482,797 in the preceding fiscal year which, in turn, was about $1,000,000 below the 1048 fiscal year collections of $7.531,905. Altho the 1950 fiscal year started

off with jumbo-sized disk tax col-lections by the federal government, • trend of steadily declining disk re-ceipts which had begun three years ago was soon in evidence. The first two months of the 1950 fiscal year showed surprisingly high disk tax yields, topping their counterparts of the previous year, but after that the story was a steady decline from com-parable months of the preceding fis-cal year. A sole exception was Febru-ary, which showed • spurt over the previous February.

Reflects Salo. Beeline The general decline is viewed as al-

most certainly reflecting a propor-tionate lag in general disk business and indicates that the introduction of new speeds has so far had little effect on the postwar diskery sales lull. Tax collections for a particular

month, however, do not necessarily reflect actual disk business for that month since reports from tax districts may be delayed. Nevertheless, the general downward trend is obvious. The decreases over the past few

fiscal years in disk tax collections Is in line with the trend for all excises, nearly all of which have been slowly sliding. Percentage-wise, disk tax re-ceipts have been tailing off art aver-age of about 10 per cent per year since fiscal 1947. That fiscal year racked up a total of $8,491.538 in lax receipts. Fiscal 1950 was off from fis-cal 1947 by more than one-third. Internal Revenue Bureau has not

yet completed tabulating returns for June, 1950, so the total for that month is an estimate. Other figures are taken from the agency's monthly re-ports which vary from final official figures only in the rounding of cents to the nearest dollar. The following table shows compara-

Zionists Are 3d Tzena' Claimant NEW YORK, July 1.—A third

Chi TV Looks For Basie Rule On 1-Nighters

CHICAGO, July I.— Word is ex-pected here late next week of im-portant basic ruling from the higher echelon of the American Federation of Musicians (ATM) regarding scale for one-night appearances of travel-ing and local bands on Chicago video shows. Cause of this ruling is a deal inked this week by W ON-TV here with the Chicago Motor Club; sub-sidiary of the American Automobile Association. The club inked a 13-week pact calling for a weekly one-hour show, starting today from the station's new studio on the Chicago Fairgrounds (The Billboard, July 1). First to work the show was Jimmy

Featherstone's ork, set by GAC here. It was learned that reps of Local 10, Chi chapter of the AFM, gave clear-ance for the show, altho no official word regarding regulations and scale for the show has been received from national offices. The local board dis-cussed the matter with Ed Benkert Thursday in their weekly confab, with their discussion going to New York for further consideration by ATM. While some basic format for ATM

regulations on traveling and local arks on network shows has been de-termined because of the Du Mont web's Cavalcade of Bands, no pattern has been set for a local one-night show by a band. Union execs will have to clarify such important questions as: Whether a band could double from a local job to a video show; whether a band could take a local video job on its off night from a location job: whether a band would have to remain five days out of Chi-cago before returning to make an-other date, as is the rule in regard to live appearance work. While each ATM local has a cer-

tain amount of autonomy and can change the primary structure of such a ruling as is awaited, it is known that each initial ruling creates a basic structure for all other local rulings to follow in other parts of the country

Fast Blush NE W YORK, July 1. — In •

story in last week's Billboard about at-liberty songpluggers trying to make the grade pub- • lishing their own tunes, the ditty Sam's Song, published by Sam Weiss, was pointed out as a suc-cessful venture of this type. Weiss demurs at our having placed him in the "walking-around-with-a-song" category, pointing out that, in the eight months he has been in business for himself, he has obtained 91 major recordings on five tunes, and that Sam's Song owes its success to hard work and effort by Weiss and his brother. He also states that he still owns Sam's Song, with Henry Spitzer acting only as selling agent.

Disk Buyer Moans Low After Hold-Up

NE W YORK, July 1.—According to hillbilly music mogul Nat Tanner, burglars don't read the trade papers. Furthermore, their musical tastes are

limited. These acute observations were made last week following an early morning hold-up at the Rosalie Allen Hillbilly Music Center, a diet shop in which Tannen holds the major interest. Two men entered the shop and

asked Manager Don Tannen for Billy Eckstine records. When Tannen said he handled only country and Western platters, the men got sore and flashed guns. They then tied Tannen up with several dozen flashy necticties and went looking for loot. When a de-livery boy entered the shop they produced a couple dozen more stun-ning cravats and dumped him in the back room with Tannen. After picking up about $200 in cash,

the hoods east a last disgusted glance at the shelves loaded with fine speci-mens of bucolic art and fled. "If they read The Billboard," Tan-

nen moaned, "they'd have known the music business stinks." To make mat-ters worse, the police took all the neckties.

Kessler Roving for Columbia NE W YORK, July 1.—Columbia

Records, in a move to co-ordinate and expand its deejay and sales promotion effort, has put on a roving exploita-tion man, Danny Kessler. Kessler, who until now has been the promo-tion man for the diskerys highly successful Philadelphia distributing operation, has already left on his first national promotion tour.

Sheet Sale Hypes Planned At Over-All Trade Confab

NEW YORK, July I.—The music industry's campaign to revitalize sheet music sales began to take form this week following a Wednesday (28) meeting of pubber members of Music Publishers' Protective Asso-ciation (MPPA) and a Thursday (29) joint confab of Songwriters' Protec-tive Association (SPA) and pubber reps. The joint meeting, at SPA head-

quarters, produced the more tangible results, with the establishment of four committees to tackle the ques-tion from as many vantage points: (1) Committee on new outlets:

Bernie Prager, Big Three sales staff; Arnold Shaw, general professional manager, Duchess Music; Tommy Hughes, Shapiro-Bernstein sales staff; Charles Tobias, council member and yeepee. SPA, and chairman of the meeting. Aim of this committee will be the exploration of possibilities of interesting the chain stores in atock-ing and pushing sheet music again. During the meeting, the Woolworth music buyer was contacted and an appointment was made to discuss the question with him next week. (2) Committee on dealer relations:

Prager; Tobias; Sam Snetiker, Chap-pel sales staff; SPA council member Abel Baer; SPA member Alex Kramer. Goal will be investigation of sheet music problems at the dealer level. (3) Com M..tee on industry-wide

promotion: The Billboard editor in chief, Joe Cede; Variety editor. Abel Green; Shaw: Tobias, and MPPA board Chairman Walter Douglas. This

comrnitte will tackle the long-range public relations problems involved. (4) Committee for radio and TV:

SPA council members Tobias, Paul Cunningham and Jack Yellen. Ef-fort will be toward propagandizing the sheet music gospel via radio and TV media.

Two New Mims The discussion was more chan-

nelized to the point than at the first meeting (The Billboard, June 17) two weeks ago, tho much of the same ground was gone over. Two new suggestions found particular favor; one, the advisability of contracting piano teachers' associations to do a misaionary job for pops as educational material; the other, the standardiza-tion of uke chords on pop music with a recommendation for MPPA to investigate possibilities (see separate story). At the meeting of MPPA reps the

day before, a pubber committee was formed, tentatively designated the Council To Improve Sheet Music Sales, to work in co-ordination with the joint SPA-pubber committees. This group hashed over such moves as providing dealers with counter or floor racks for better display of sheet music, improving the appear-ance of sheet music itself, impressing the dealers with the actual profit potential in sheet music, setting up surveys and contests, and exploring the attitude of music teachers toward using pop music in their work A combined meeting of both groups

was set for Wednesday (12) at MPPA offices.

Royalty Form Covers Tunes Predating '32 Sliding Seale Plus Bonus

(Continued from page 4j renewal form; the remaining eight having been adapted to the renewal situation.

The mandatory sliding scale prob-

ably is included to afford writers the benefits of augmented income

from standards, which are fre-quently priced considerably higher

than pop copies. There is a sliding scale clause in the 1947 contract, but it is optional. The bonus-plus-advance provision

would seem to be designed as a spur to See pubber to exploit the renewed tune.

Meaty Months' Work SPA has been working on the re-

newal form for many months. The association feels that the confusions and irregularities that so frequently arise in connection with renewal as-signments trace in good part to the absence of standard renewal condi-tions and requirements, and that defiers and pubbers alike will bene-fit from a standard contract form to be applied for the second 28-year period of copyright. The spokesman did not indicate

the step-by-step procedure ahead, but if the pattern of the 1947 contract negotiations is followed, the form would be submitted to the Music Publishers' Protective Association (MPPA). MAPPA's cachet, after ironing out of any differences, would then be followed by individual pub-bers signing agreements with SPA to utilize the standard form.

Warbler Puts II e r Foot In It To Beat The Flanagan Ork

NE W YORK, July 1.—PennI Smith, the Ralph Flanagan band thrush, is going to be careful about where she puts her toe from now on —and there-by hangs a tale of low buttons and high gears. The story begins with the telephone

rousing ork manager, Bernie Woods, from a deep sleep in his New York apartment early last Thursday morn: ing (23). Flanagan was on the wire, asking for help. Seems the band bus, en route to Hampton Beach, N. H., had given up an hour out of New York, completely unable to get out of low gear. Woods told the orkster to get the bus back to the city; a re-placement bus would meet him.

As the bus approached the New York side of the Lincoln Tunnel, Miss Smith. sitting up front next to the driver, awoke, ya wned prettily, and asked what was up. Told, she asked in a still small voice, "Does this little button here under my toot mean any-thing?" The driver did an Edgar Kennedy.

He informed her that the little but-ton was the reverse gear button — when the bus was in forward speed, depressing the little button prevented shifting into high gear. The bus about-faced for Hampton

Beach, with Penni curled up in a back seat.

Powerful Platters The importance of records in mak-

ing vocalists is shown by the fact that, outside of New York, few such performers made the grade in pop music, scoring—if they did at all — In niteries. The list —with Fran Warren, Eileen Barton, Theresa Brewer and Toni Arden already named—is much longer than that, however. All of 'em that have come up thru platters include Eddie Fisher, whose delayed opening at the Riviera, Fort Lee, N. J., occurred only this week and who looks like a sure-fire bet for clubs and on Victor disks: Rosemary Clooney, who has scored via Columbia disks since leaving Tony Pastor; Bill Farrell, whose MGM Records and nitery work augur much hope for him; arranger-conductor Hugo Winterhalter, who left Columbia for Victor and who hit with Count Every Star. Winterhalter has been known in the trade for some time, but his rep is now spread-ing to the public. Male vocalist group also includes Don Cornell, who scored via his piping on Sammy Kaye's Victor groover, It Isn't Fair, now doing a single.

Pop music also has one of the most interesting and novel successes to hit showbiz in some time. Central figure la a former Tin Pan Alley press agent turned music publisher, How-ard Richmond (Cromwell Music). Howie started out with Music, Music, Music, which launched Theresa Brewer (now temporarily on the shelf, via having a baby). In last week's Billboard Richmond scored with three of his numbers listed in The Billboard Picks, probably the first time this has happened to a publisher—old or new. Wrapping up the pop music fields,

Buddy Greco and Claire (Shanty) Hogan are reported as building reps locally in Pittsburgh, both via club work.

Radio Round-Up Radio has disappointed this past

year, for the obvious reason of TV's emphasis or overemphasis. Program-wise, the outstanding feature was the development of underplayed documentary whodunits—sparked by NBC's Dragnet. One vet, however, is giving promise—Art Carney, who's done a lot of TV and who can, with proper developmeet, click in either.

Radio is also sparking two notable comebacks. Rudy Vallee, via his transcribed series is not only sold out let New York (WOR) but the show is in demand thruout the country. Headed the same way is Buddy

Ford has scored on his own and because of a twist whereby he used a parrot on his shows.

Niteries, Club.

Night clubs and vaude, whence some New York performers have sprung, had its small contribution to make this past season. Pegged as corners are Fisher and Marks, young PhiIly comics now up to $850 or so a week; Tony Bennett, a singer (Co-lumbia Records), who was singing in a downtown New York cafe a year or so ago but who is now on the way up and stars in his own radio show next week, and from Milwaukee Tommy Richards, emsee and comic, tagged as a potential sock, and the Tommy Sheridan Trio. Formerly with Lawrence Welk, Sheridan is said to be developing box-office potency in the Beer City.

U. S. Music Okay With Italo City, NSG in the Sticks

NEW YORK, July 1.—Music busi ness LI picking up in Italy, accord ing to Dr. Antonio Ciampi, general manager of the Italian Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. Dr. Ciampi, now on a business trip in the United States, says that the younger middle class in the large Italian metropolitan centers is in-creasingly drawn to dance music. American tune3 have considerable appeal to this group. In the rural centers, however, there is a prev-alence of traditional Italian mate-rial. Dr. Ciampi, who will visit the alien

property custodian in order to de-vise a method of freeing Italian funds, stated that members of the Italian society were in much greater number than similar artistic creative groups in the United States, despite fact that Italy's population is one-fourth of America's.

Ciampi currently finds much in-terest here in Italian creative work — pointing to the success of Glan-Carlo Menotti's The Consul on Broadway, the Italian film, Bicycle Thief, etc. At least one Italian book a month is published in translation in the United States, he points out. A new Italian musical play, titled Neapolitan Car-ousel, and described as midway be-tween a musical comedy and straight drama, done by Ettore Giant:LIM, is scheduled to hit Broadway In Novem-ber following • tour of Europe and South America. Production of disks in Italy is com-

paratively small, says Ciampi, who points out that they are used in ball-rooms in place of live musicians. Diskeries are concentrated in Milan.

Norby of Macy's To Minneapolis NE W YORK, July 1.—CUB Norte,

department manager for records, phonographs, musical instruments and pianos at Macy's New York, has resigned, it was learned this week. Early in August, Norby will take up his new position as assistant mer-chandise manager with the Powers Dry Goods Company, Minneapolis. Macy's New York officials refused to comment on Norby's resignation. With Macy's since 1941, with a

leave of absence for naval service, Norby has been recognized as one of the top merchandisers of music-record items. The success of the Macy's music center is credited to Norby's efforts in promoting phono-graph records and record-playing equipment. Under Nprby's insistence, Macy's turned over the buying and selling of phonographs to the record department with a resultant 300 per cent increase in the sale of players.

Winterhalter Cuts 18th 'Dance' Album NEW YORK, July 1.—Hugo Win-

Three will be instru-mental, while the remainder will be in the typical ork-chorus production style employed by Winterhalter, and all the slicings will accent the dance beat. Solo vocal efforts will be han-dled by Peter Hanley. The album will be ready for ship-

ment late in August. Among the Jones songs set for the package are On the Alamo, It Had To Be You, No Greater Loge and FU See You in My Dreams.

Names' Royalty Bonanza Plan Set by Snader HOLLYWOOD, July 1. — Orkstera

vocalists, soloists and variety acts are in for a royalty bonanza under a video film plan set by Louis Snader, head of Snader Teletranscriptions. Snader, who inked one of the first royalty deals for tele films with American Federation of Musicians (ATM) Pr oxy James C. Petrillo several weeks ago, has disclosed that his operational plans will be based on a talent royal-ty set-up for all headliners. At the same time, Snader said he had set deals with four unidentified publish-ers for the rights to pub catalogs totaling more than 12,000 copyrights. Snader is buying film rights from pubbers on a flat fee basis, with pay-ments ranging from $7.50 per song to $100, depending on material. Of prime importance to talent is

Snader's royalty deal which will closely parallel record royalty pacts in all respects. The ATM deal inked with Snader calls /or a 5 per cent royalty on music to be paid into a fund administered by Samuel Rosen-baum, trustee of the ATM record royalty fund. In addition, however, Snader is offering artists a deal whereby they would participate royal-ty-wise in all teletranscription sales. He argues that long-range sales plans could conceivably build up an an-nuity nest egg for talent whereby yearly royalties would be akin to what record toppers now enjoy in the disk field. Snader's flickers will run three

minutes each, and would feature orks, vocalists or specialty artists. Fix are budgeted at $1,200 each and will be peddled to video outlets as "library service" material, with rates depend-ing on market size and station rate cards. ATM's 5 per cent royalty will revert to union locals in the same manner as disk royalty funds. As proof of good faith, Snader has al-ready deposited a substantial sum with AIM to be credited against fu-ture royalties. Heading Snader's org are Phil

Moore, as chief of artists and reper-toire; Duke Goldstone in charge 02 production, Louis Victor, exploitation chief. Over 400 flickers are in the first series, with shooting to begin July 17 at General Service Studios, Hollywood. Talent roster 13 currently in inking stage and will include top names In music and variety field.

US Speeds Trust Suit Vs. Decca WASHINGTON, July 1. — The

United States court for the Southern District of New York is expected to act this month on a motion submitted by the Department of Justice recently for a summary judgment in the anti-trust division's cartel suit against Decca Records, Inc. (American Dee-ca), and Decca Records Company, Ltd. (British Decca). The motion, which was offered to the court in June, seeks a judgment in the case without necessity of going to trial. The anti-trust division's suit against

Decca was introduced nearly two years ago, charging the American and British companies with engaging in ti conspiracy and cartel agreements re-straining the sale and distribution of commercial phonograph records in violation of the anti-trust laws. Elec-tric and Musical Industries, Ltd., an-other British corporation, was named a co-conspirator. The govern ment's complaint

charged that American Decca, one of the leading manufacturers of com-mercial disks in the U. S., conspired to divide parts of world markets with British Decca and Electric and Mu-sical Industries, Ltd. American Decca was formerly affiliated with British Decca by stock ownership, but this relationship was wound up seven years ago.

The Actin 49-cent platters differ from most of their lower-price con-temporaries, in that Lany has ar-ranged for the new wax to be pressed on a non-breakable substance.

Expect Delay in Approval Of UNESCO Copyright Pact WASHINGTON, July 1. — Antici-

pated approval of the proposed global copyright pact by the membership of the United Nations Educational Scien-tific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) will be delayed until the spring of 1951, State Department of-ficials told The Billboard this week. Failure of member nations to expe-dite answering the questionnaire of the UNESCO copyright office pre-vented the pact from being presented at the fifth session of the world group's general conference which wound up at Florence, Italy, last week. Next action on the treaty is likely

to come next month when it is ex-pected to receive endorsement of the Third International Conference of the Legal Profession scheduled for Lon-don July 19-26. The conference will be held under auspices of the Inter-national Bar Association. One of the top items on the agenda is discussion of unification of international copy-right protection. The legalists, who will come from 60 nations, are ex-pected to urge the spread of bilateral and multilateral copyright treaties as well as endorsing the global pact. According to State Department,

UNESCO has tentatively set spring, 1951, for the next meeting of the general conference. Formal approval of the treaty cannot come before that time. Meanwhile the UNESCO Copy-right office in Paris will prepare a full report of the replies of various nations to the questionnaire which was sent out last December. State Department was unable to complete the U. S. reply until mid-May of this

"I. Magination" To Get Col Wax NEW YORK, July 1. — Columbia

Records this week obtained exclusive platter rights to Mr. T. stagination, popular CBS-TV music-fantasy show. and the waxery's kidisk division will cut an album series on material from the show. First album will be cut in Hollywood some time this month for fall release. Pact was sealed by Goddard Lieber-

son, exec veepee of the diskery, and Paul Tripp, creator of the show. For-mat of the show will be followed closely, with song lyrics by 'Tripp and incidental music by Ray Carter to be included. Deal also provides for creation of new material on disks for subsequent inclusion on the TV show. Tripp also is currently featured on

Columbia kidisk in Tubby the Tuba, which he scripted.

Count the House Even at Weddings

NEW YORK, July 1.—Agent Wil lard Alexander, at the Sammy Kaye opening at the Waldorf-Astoria Hole Thursday (29), was theorizing to the the RCA Victor group about the slack band business. He explained how Vaughn Monroe had done 25 per cent below his previous year's business in a given territory but still drew 3.200 people here and 4,000 people there. Herb Mendier, co-manager of the

Ralph Flanagan band, not to be out-done by Alexander, began to call off a list of the hot new maestro's road counts -4,000 people here and 5,000 there. At a point when the conversa-tion dwindled to a two-man discus-sion between Mendier and Alexander, a disinterested guest asked Willard how the marriage of Billy Good-heart's daughter came off last Satur-day (24). After a moment of deep thought,

Willard said: "Oh, about 650 people."

year, while a number of other na-tions have yet to answer. It is expected that all nations who

plan to respond to the questionnaire will have done so in ample time for the Paris office to prepare a compre-hensive report for the next UNESCO session. This could not have been done at the recent session even had sufficient replies been received to judge the general trend of world thinking on copyright problems. Tho State Department is as opti-

mistic as ever about eventual ac-ceptance of a world pact, the original time table is now off about a year. When a panel of international copy-right experts first set the wheels in motion last summer, it was hoped that UNESCO approval could be gained this year so that the pact would be drafted in early 1951. Now, however, it appears that it will be late next year before a treaty will be in writ-ing. After that a long delay can be expected before countries ratify it. Well accustomed to lengthy interna-tional procedure, State Department is not particularly concerned about the labor pains UNESCO is having with the copyright treaty.

Victor To Offer Bonus Disk Bait NEW YORK, July 1.—A promotion

designed to hypo repeat buying has been blueprinted by RCA Victor in connection with the sale of the 453 record player. Starting July 17, each person buying the player will re-ceive a record bonus book entitling the buyer to one bonus 45 r.p.m. disk per month for six consecutive months. Disks are to be selected by the purchaser from Victor's current monthly releases. The promotion is national in scope. Chief idea, of course, is to give the

dealer a chance to sell additional disks. Purchasers will also be placed on

the mailing list to receive copies of the monthly Picture Review, which (See Victor To Offer on page 38)

Cops Put Clamp On Illegal Wax HOLLYWOOD, July I. — Sher-

iff's deputies cracked down on a local bootlegging operation (The Billboard, July I) after bogus copies of Dinah Washington's Mercury platter, I Wanna Be Loved, appeared on the market. Dealer who was approached by the counterfeiter's fence alerted Harry Blum, Mercury's local distrib. Bootleg peddler was picked up by Sheriff's officers and was held on a suspicion of theft charge. Guy reportedly confessed that a Mercury stamper and labels were stolen from diskery's plant. He also spilled the beans on who was manufacturing the phonies. Blum didn't press charges against

the counterfeit salesman, after tak-ing into consideration the violators dire economic conditions. He is unable to press criminal charges against the counterfeit manufacturer due to a legal wrinkle. City had passed an ordinance outlawing Jogus disk manufacturers two years ago after The Billboard exposed a local counterfeiting riag. However, pres-ent violator operates outside of the city limits and there are no county statues covering platter bootlegging. Fact that presser has been uncovered, however, leaves him liable to civil action, and Blum feels the boot-legger will stop hia bogus operations now that he's been exposed.

Court Rules for Vet In Suit on Powder' WASHINGTON, July 1.—Stanley

Rochinski was declared the composer of Pou:der Your Face With Sunshine by District Court Judge Matthew McQuire recently. Rochinski's rights were affirmed to some $10,000 in proceeds being held up by Lom-bardo Music, New York, pending de-termination of authorship. Chester Hammond, Elmira, N. Y.,

had claimed he wrote the words to the tune in 1938, and that Rochinski appropriated them in 1949. Uphold-ing the latter's contention that he penned the song in 1946 while a patient at a local veterans hospital, the judge said there was conclusive evidence that Rochinski was showing people the lyrics in 1946.

Miss Francois, the diakery's leading thrush since Edith Plat left the label several years ago, will arrive in Feb-ruary, and will also play class clubs in Canada and the States. According to Borchard, Polydor's

SB-Miracle Tiff Set for Spring

CHICAGO, July 1.—Next legal skirmish between attorneys for Sha-piro-Bernstein pubbery and Miracle Records, local rhythm and blues waxery, probably will take place next spring in the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals here, following the filing of an appeal early this week from the Federal District Court decision handed down by Judge Michael Igoe, Judge Igoe dropped a bombshell into music pubbers' laps by ruling that the release of a disk constituted pub-lication of a tune and therefore sub-jected it to the provisions of the Copy-right Act of 1909 (The Billboard, April 8). An attempt by Mort Shaeffer, at-

torney for the New York pubbery, to gain a new trial was later turned down by Judge Igoe. Shaeffer was joined in this attempt by legalists representing both Music Publishers' Protective Association (MPPA) and Songwriters' Protective Association (SPA), who filed a brief thru Shaef-fer as amicus curiae. At the time he denied a new trial, Judge Igoe further substantiated his stand on the con-troversial publication-means-public-domain ruling (The Billboard, June 17). In a hearing held Thursday (29)

before Judge Igoe to determine court costs and attorney fees. Ed H. Nor-ton and Seymour Tobin. attorneys for Miracle, were awarded $5,000 to cover legal fees and $359.95 covering trial costs.

Edwin H. Morris as pubber of the tune les So Nice To Have a Man Around the House are being sued for alleged piracy of the Shelley and Archer tune, You Gotta Have a Man Around the House, written in 1942. The answers also contain a claim

that the plaintiffs are not the original authors of House; that the theme for many years past has been used by others, and that plaintiffs copied por-tions of prior works in writing their tune.

NEW YORK, July 1.—Columbia Records has acquired the master to You Can't Fool Around With Love from Back Bay, Boston indie diskery, and will release the side in one week on the Columbia label.

W DE r, Chattanooga, has "had a lot of response lately to a couple of old ones, Leo Reisman's 'Spell-bound' on Decca and Victor's 'Marching Through Georgia' by the Massed Bands of the Aldershot Command. If they're released I'll buy the first copies." ... "Whether they want it or not Dixie-land has taken this area, via constant playing. We decided to push Krupa's Chicago Jazz and now dealers are selling 'em fast. Guess it proves d. j.s do guide the public taste," writes Bill Ram-s& . WIRC, Hickory, N. C. . . . Dick Smith, W MTW, Portland, Me, polled 9,538 local high school students to determine their platter prefer-ence for his teen-age "Saturday Date" broadcast. Results showed 3..377 listen to disk jockey pro-grams with pop records listed as favorite. Classi-cal polled 324 and Progressive only pulled 67. Guy Lombardo beat Vaughn Monroe out by more than 400 votes for top orlc, and Bing Crosby also bested Monroe for favorite male vocalist honor. Doris Day pulled most votes of entire contest for favorite fern warbler with 1,723 to Dinah Shore's 416. Six all-time song favorites were, in order named: "Star Dust," "My Foolish Heart," "Senti-mental Me," "It Isn't Fair," "There's No To-morrow" and "Daddy's Little Giri"

MERCHANDISING TIPS . . . The long time problem of keeping track of special orders has been solved, according to Al Meyer. Town & Country Music, Westwood, N. J. A green stock envelope is made Up, for each special order, carry-ing the title, customers name, address and phone number. When received and being filed, the clerk automatically has the special order in-formation at hand. . . . Mark Music Company. Milwaukee. reports that a sale can usually be made even when the requested disk is not in stock. The trick is to be ready with a fast and enthusiastic suggestion about another disk. Only a few customers insist on the original request. ... Gates Home Appliances. Covington, Ky., sug-gests that stutters, supplements and other printed matter always should be placed inside the record sleeve-not the bag in which the disk is carried. It makes it impossible for the buyer to fail to see the literature... . Mills Music Company, Topeka, Kan., reports that sales of 45 and 33 r.p.m. disks have been doubled by giving them more exten-sive display. "We had treated these speeds as orphans, as many dealers are still doing. Maybe our experience might be of help to these dealers." ... Lois Epstein. Jimmy Skinner's Record Shop, Cincinnati, suggests writing up each and every sale in order to get the customer's name and ad-dress for future direct mail or telephone selling. The list is used each time new releases are re-ceived. . House of Music. Stockton, Calif., re-ports doing a large mail order business by offer-ing a free disk with every three purchased or a free storage album with every 10 disks purchased. The shop specializes in Western platters. . . . Stanley J. Lewis. Stan's Record Shop, Shreve-port, La., reports good results with sponsorship of two rhythm and blues disk jockey shows. Hits can be made this way, says Lewis. During slow months the shop offers one free disk with every three purchased. The free disk is from overstock.

ADVANCE PLUGS BAD? s.. Gripe from Music Cent«. Twin Falls, Idaho, reads, "Too of-ten records are sent to radio stations a week or more before they are listed on new releases and then it's another two or three weeks wait before we get them." ... "We and that disk jockeys play the new releases too far in advance of the release to us. Customers ask for these new numbers as soon as they hear them, but when they have to wait a week or so they lose interest." -Henry F. Bardes. United Radio & Battery Company, Brook-lyn. . . . "Why, oh why, do disk jockeys play a record to death even before it gets a lighting chance? Who wants to buy a record if every-time the radio is turned on you can hear it for free r -Cudahy Record Shop. Cudahy, Wis. . . . "It would be grand if disk jockeys wouldn't play a record to death even before it gets on the deal-er's shelves." -Altone Music. West Allis, Wis.... "It seems that all major companies release rec-ords to radio stations a few weeks in advance of release to distributors. Therefore many songs are 'played out' before the retailer can get them. I wish we were able to have these coming hits in stock when the customers first hear them over the radio." -Charles M. Wood. W. N. C. Book Store, Canton. N. C.

BEEFS AND GRIPES • • • "We've trouble with eccentric grooving on records." -I. E. Sass*. man. Modern Music c•ntri, Tamaqua, Fla. . . . "It's almost impossible to get immediate delivery on a good tune. Distributors should keep enough records in stock to fill the demand of the record shops." -Tanner Home SE Auto Supply. Wichita, Falls, Tex. ... "My pet peeve is that my profit on records is on my shelves. It is very difficult for a small-town dealer to order properly on the supposed hit disks. I think the record companies should allow full return privileges on the hits, just as the sheet music jobbers do. Then we wouldn't be afraid to stock our shelves with a more complete selection." -Hahn Music Box. St. Augustine, Fla. . . . "Why are New York dealers allowed to cut prices on LP records? We're just starting a nice, new, clean business, and some people are ready to ruin it Haven't the record companies any control over prices? Why does anyone get into the record business to

SKIP'S BRACE( CLUB . . S k 1 p •a Gay House of Music, Myrtle Beach, S. C., has started a series of hour-long broadcasts to be aired Sat-urday afternoons on W MRA. An interesting gimmick, aside from the fact that the show is aired from the shop's window, is that the disk jockey uses record players and attachments right from stock to play the disks on the air. Thus the shop demonstrates the players to window watchers and radio listeners at the same time. The window is arranged with suitable props and photos of recording artists. The program is han-dled by Otis Humphrey. manager of the disk department and former program manager of the local radio station. Tunes played arc all listener requests based on votes received. Prizes are also offered each show for winners of various contest gimmicks. A recent gimmick was to guess the numbers of records stocked by the disk shop.

Col Sings Song of LP in Pamphlets

NEW YORK, July I.-Columbla Records loosed another broadside in its LP campaign this week in the form of a promotional piece signed by the diskery's proxy, Edward Wei-lersteln, for distribution to customers via retail record shops. The tenor of the pamphlet is the "one best speed" theme that the diskery has been push-ing of late. The message points up the standard LP gospel: one size spindle hole for all sizes of records, uninter-rupted music, sire of record deter-mined by the natural length of the selection, etc. According to the disk-Pry, 1,000,000 pamphlets are being distributed to dealers thruout the country.

The Honor Roll of Popular Songwriters

By Jack Burton

ho. 67—THE TOBIAS BROTHERS (PART D The stage had its three Barrymores,

Ethel, Lionel and Jack; baseball, its three DiMaggios, Vince, Dominic and Joc, and, the greatest brother act in Tin Pan Alley today are the three Tobiases, Harry, Henry and Charles. Harry, the oldest member of the

trio, blazed the Tin Pan Alley trail for his two younger kinsmen in 1911 when, at the age of 16, his eye was attracted to an advertisement with this arresting headline: "Write a Song and Make a For-

tune." It was a slack afternoon at the

John C. MacGinnes Department Store in Worcester. Mass., where Harry clerked, so he had plenty of leisure time to dash off a poem, National Sports, which he mailed that evening to the sponsor of the advertisement. And three days later he received the sterotyped come-on reply: "Your poem received, and one of

our experienced staff writers is com-posing a tune for it. In return for the small sum of $25, we will send you 500 copies." If Harry Tobias had had $25, he

would have been cartooned with dol-lar signs all over his suit in the Hearst paper and flayed as a bloated capitalist and public menace, but the assistant buyer in the ladies' wear-ing apparel department also was a gullible guy and backed the song with $15. The balance was raised by raiding piggy banks and putting the financial bite on mother and father. And two weeks later, 500 copies of National Sports, with a pic-ture of Ty Cobb on the cover, were delivered to the budding young song-writer. This posed a serious problem. How

was Harry to get his $25 back? But he came up with the solution. He simply peddled the song from house to house at 10 cents a copy or three for a quarter, paid back the money he bad borrowed, and invested the

profits in another song. When th« Moon Shines Bright, which also graced the music racks of 500 Wor-cester pianos as the result of another house-to-house sales drive. Then Charley Tobias, three years Harry's Junior, got into the act, and they cov-ered the entire countryside, plugging and selling the songs on which they collaborated as lyricists :Id often singing a recalcitrant prospect into submission. It was an era of industrial expan-

sion, and Harry Tobias, taking a tip from the Standard Oil Company which then was extending its pipe lines to fuel the entire world, de-cided to go lo New York City and crack Tin Pan Alley, then located around 28th Street, wide open. His father didn't toady to the idea. A tailor, he wanted Harry to learn his trade, but sitting cross-legged on a bench six days a week was too seden-tary an occupation for a 19-year-old kid with restless feet. When Harry Tobias first strode up

Broadway in 1914, the Seventh Regi-ment Band wasn't on hand to wel-come him and the competition was stiff, with songs like these selling better than hot cakes at Childs: Ir-ing Berlin's I Want To Go Back to Michigan, Ray Walker's Poor Pauline, Will Handy's Si. Louis Blues, Jerome Kern's They Didn't Believe Me. Percy Wenrich's When You Wore a Tulip, and Ernie Ball's A Little Bit of Heaven Sure They Called It Ireland. But a youngster who had trudged thru four-foot snowdrifts to sell Ameri-can Sports and When the Moon Shines Bright had the makings of a success-ful gate-crasher. No less an authority than Irving Berlin gave him an audi-ence and suggested that Harry get a job as a song plugger to keep him off park benches and insure three square meals a day. So Harry worked the morning and

evening shifts in the five-and-dime stores, caroling the tunes of rival

songwriters and made the rounds of Tin Pan Alley in the afternoons until he got his first break at the Broadway Music Company, where he met Bill Dillon, author of My ¡Afile Girl, Every Little Bit Added to What You've Got Makes Just a Little' Bit More and I Want a Girl Just Like the Girl That Married Dear Old Dad. Dillon not only listened to some of Harry's melo-dies but offered to collaborate with him, and, together they wrote Take Me to My Mebane and That Girl of Mine. Then Uncle Sam pointed his finger

at Harry Tobias, and for the next two years the Worcester warbler wore the khaki, being stationed at Camp Joseph E. Johnston, Jacksonville. Fla., where he teamed up with Abe Oiman, com-poser of Oh, Johnny, Oh and Down by the 0-Hi-0, as an army entertainer and morale booster. Back in mufti with the signing of

the armistice. Harry 'Tobias finally matte the grade in 1922 when the pop-ularity of his 0-oo Ernest, Are You Earnest With Me?, written with Sid-ney Clare and Cliff Friend, qualified him for membership in the American Society of Composers. Authors and Publishers. Seven years later the three Tobias brothers made their debut as a song-writing team with Mist You,1 a song that has worn so well over the , years that it now has become a recog-' nized standard. Miss You, however, is one of a com-

paratively few songs on which the three Tobias brothers have collabor-ated. In the past 21) years they have traveled separate roads to success, altho in 1929 Harry and Henry shared a common ambition and hit the "gold dust" trail to Hollywood ln an old four-cylinder Chevrolet. As they neared the gold fields on Thanks-giving Day, they met an army of dis-grunted songwriters starting the long trek back to New York. convinced that the fabulous fortunes promised by the sound tracks were but a mi-rage. Henry Tobias believed them and turned back. but Harry decided to stick it out. He liked the smell of the orange groves and the warmth of

the California sun. And California has been good to

Harry Tobias, who sold his wares to the Hollywood studios with the same enthusiasm and presistence he em-ployed in selling his first songs from house to house in Worcester. Soon after his arrival he wrote It's a Lone-some Old Town When You're Not Around, which Ben Bernie adopted as his theme song; At Your Command, one of Bing Crosby's early hits and on which he and Harry Barris, an-other member of the famous Rhythm Boys, collaborated, and Sweet and Lovely, which like Miss You, has a haunting quality that time enhances rather than depreciates. In more recent years Harry Tobias

has worked In the Western song idiom, writing numbers introduced in cowboy films starring Gene Autry and Bill (Hopalong Cassidy) Boyd, and in 1042 he collaborated with his brother, Charles, and Nat Simon on one of the great songs of the war-time period, Wait for Me Mary. Henry Tobias, who cast his lot with

Broadway instead of Hollywood in 1929, is probably the most versatile member of this versatile family trio. In addition to being a composer and author, he has conducted his own or-chestra over the NBC network, re-corded for Bluebird Records, written special material for such stars as Ed-die Cantor, Milton Berle, Sophie Tucker, Willie Howard. Judy Canova, Fanny Brice, Belle Baker and Mischa Auer. and produced and directed sum-mer stock and original musical revues for many seasons at the Totem Lodge on the borscht circuit. He also has taken television In stride, writing, producing and acting in TV shows by the Philco Hollywood station, KTLA, in 1948. As far as Charley 'Tobias is con-

cerned, he has come a long way since he introduced his first song hit. Ho Ho, Ha Ha, Me Too, at Loewe State Theater, New York, In 1927, when vaude was in its prime and Charley Tobias was primed with vaude am-munition.

TV RETAILERS STILL FREEZE Private Label Bargains Keep Orders Down Dept. Stores Have Bulge

NEW YORK, July I.—Watchful waiting is still the by-word of the retail TV business. Despite the vari-ous manufacturers' claims of orders placed for new lines and predictions that lowered prices will widen the consumer market, TV dealers are ex-tremely cautious in placing orders. Trade-wise executives feel that the dealer attitude will continue in the same vein until the private label sellers place firm prices on their new models. That the private label lines can

throw the entire price picture into the proverbial cocked hat, as one de-partment store exec put it, creates the dealers' apathy toward placing orders. This same exec, who insisted on remaining anonymous, listed the following prices as having been of-fered to his organization by one of the largest producers of private label merchandise. Prices are cost to the store and do not include excise or warranty charges: 12%-inch table model... $ 85.50 12%-inch console 101.90 14-inch rectangular table model 97.65

14-inch rectangular console 110.30 16-inch rectangular table model 110.00

10-inch rectangular console 123.50 19-inch console 163.70 16-inch console combina-tion with three-speed changer and AM-FM radio 177.50

Under these costs it is possible for the promotional-minded stores to ad-vertise sensational values to the dol-lar-conscious public. The 16-inch con-sole combination and 19-inch console could be sold for "under $200." The 12;1-inch table model would continue to sell for less than $100, while the 16-inch table and console models could be priced at $150 and $165, re-spectively. As put by one of the buyers for a

local radio-TV-appliance chain, "I'm waiting to see what happens when ltlacy's, Gimbel's and the chains start their big newspaper advertising cam-paigns. In the meantime, I'll order only what I have to, and keep on sell-ing refrigerators and air-condition-ers."

Victor To Offer Bonus Disk Bait

(Continued from Dace /51 includes listings of the month's re-leases from which the consumer may choose his bonus disk. Ad campaign plugging the bonus

offer is now being drafted and is scheduled to start July 16. Bonus books will be issued by RCA

Victor dealers for 45.1 inventory on hand. All future deliveries of the players will include the bonus books. Dealers who do not handle RCA Vic-tor disks have been told that the cus-tomer can use the bonus certificate at any record shop.

rMono Jack on TV Set a Must, Tele-King Official Declares

NEW YORK, July 1.—"There Is no excuse for a manufacturer to pro-duce • television set that does not have a phono jack," claims Franklin Lamb, vice-president of the board of the Tele-King Corporation. "We are making a promotionally priced line of television sets, where cost to us, the distribut -r and the dealer is of the utmost importance, yet every one of our sets that is not a console-combination with a self-contained record player has provision for the attachment of record playing equip-ment." According to Lamb, the cost of

adding a phono jack is negligible. He pointed out that the added sales fea-ture of a phono jack is an additional selling point for retail salesman, but more than that, offers the retailer an opportunity to increase his volume by selling player attachments and building customers for the shop's rec-ord department. "Not every potential television buy-

Gabor Diskery Adds Phono Deal

(Continued from page 151 LP attachment, it lists officially for $12.95. Gabor's promotion, however, offers the attachment, a six-pocket box album, and two Continental LP records —a total hat value of $22.15 — to retail for $9.90. Gabor's swap plan is for Continen-

tal dealers only, excluding distribs. Between now and August 31. dealers may turn in disks of any label and receive credit for e worth against every $2 worth of Continental LP's or 45's purchased. Meanwhile Remington has inked

some additional artists and set up a large summer recording schedule in Europe. Gabor himself leaves for Italy for six weeks on July 17. and Music Director Edward J. Smith heads for Italy and Vienna the first week of August.

Foreign 'Baking In Italy, Gabor has made an ar-

rangement with Count Cesare Nesi, a director of the Florence May Fes-tival, and with Dr. Francis Cerbint, of Rome, to assist in the production of eight operas with the La Scala, Milan and May Festival orks. and casts of Italian and American singers. The schedule calls for a Verdi anni-versary series, to consist of 45-minute excerpts from the early, rarely heard operas, including Oberto, Giovanna D'Arco, Nabucco, Ernani, Vespri liant. I Due Poscari, Luisa Miller and Attila or Alen'. These will come out on Remington LP's at $1.99 in the fall. Most of the new Continental LP's,

which sell at standard prices, will be cut in France. Included are the operas Ctemenza Di Tito, by Mozart, and Prophete, by Meyerbeer. Symphonic standards for Reming-

ton are being cut now in Vienna by Gabor's representative there. Among the American artists to per-

form in the above-named operas are Met soprana Christina Carroll, Ivan Petroff and contralto Elizabeth Wysor. Miss Carroll is being flown over es-pecially for the Italian series. H. Arthur Brown, conductor of the Tulsa Philharmonic, has been flown to Vi-enna for an orchestral series, and Dr. Felix Gunther has also been sent there to conduct 10 standard sym-phonic works, all for Remington. The diskery has also engaged folk-

singer Richard Dyer-Bennett for an album of his concert specialties.

en has the money for a console com-bination set," said Lamb. "The dealer can easily satisfy the wants of these people by selllng them a promotional-ly priced TV-only receiver and an inexpensive record playing attach-ment. He can point out to the cus-tomer that despite the lower cost of the attachment, he can still get the full benefit of the television set's fine audio system and speaker. In addi-tion, there are many people who do not believe that the location in the home of the television set is also the proper place for the family record collection. A jack-equipped TV set, In that case, gives the customer com-plete freedom in placing his furni-ture."

Set, Fono Sales Up, Disks Slip

WASHINGTON, July 1.—Depart-ment store sales of TV sets, radios and phonos for the first quarter of 1950 were more than double the same 1949 period, but sales of disks, sheet music, and instruments were down, the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) reported this week. Total sales of 175 department stores

having a separate department for ra-dios, phonos and television were up 119 per cent over the first 1949 quar-ter. In 228 stores where disks are in-cluded in the same department, the increase was only 86 per cent, with lower disk sales holding down the over-all increase. For 127 stores main-taining a separate department for disks, sheet music, and instruments, sales for the January-March, 1950 period were off 8 per cent from the comparable stretch last year.

warehouse in Chicago. Its other fac-tory distribution points are in New-ark and Los Angeles. Lou Bass has been added to the sales staff to cover the metropolitan area. The diskery is preparing an advertising and pro-motional campaign for both consumer and trade publications, and has en-gaged the S. Harold Labew Advertis-ing Agency to handle its account.

BBB Draws Up TV Rules in War On Trade Gyps NEW YORK, July 1.—The Better

Business Bureau (BBB) of New York City this week began a drive to "stamp out the evils in selling and servicing of • television sets and to educate the buying public in methods of self-protection." The drive was opened at a meeting attended by more than 900 radio, television and appliance dealers and representatives of television service companies. Hugh R. Jackson, president of the local BBB, presided. "Radio and television represent the

largest single category of complaints handled by the BBB," Jackson stated. "In the first five months of this year, we received 233 per cent more com-plaints than during the same period of 1949." Jackson told the group that the

BBB's action program was designed: (1) To establish and maintain stand-ards for advertising and selling with-in the industry in order to reduce faulty and misleading practices; (2) to inform the public, principally thru a consumer booklet, of basic facts they should know about the purchase and servicing of television sets. The new standards will be made effective July 15. The local bureau also is setting up a special unit to work continu-ously with and investigate the prac-tices of the industry. Among the new standards are spe-

cific regulations on unfair competi-tive claims, layouts of ads. headlines, "bait" offers, "free" offers, sales, price reductions, conditional otters, former price ranges, duration of sales, finishes, trade-in allowances, guar-antees, trial offers, contest prizes, used and imperfect merchandise, credit charges and outside financing.

Philly Dealer Sues for 75G

PHILADELPHIA, July I. — A counter claim for triple damages of $75,000 was filed last week in the U. S. District Court here by Dave Krantz, local radio and television dealer, against the Jerrold Electronics Corporation and M. J. Shapp and Company. Krantz asked that an injunction

be issued against the monopolistic practices of the companies. Krantz is one of six individuals

who, with two radio servicemen's as-sociations, were cited in an action brought May 11 in the U. S. District Court by the Jerrold and Shapp com-panies. The action, charging the de-fendants with boycotting the products of the plaintiffs. asked triple damages of $285,000 and an injunction to re-strain them from continuation of the alleged boycots. In the action filed in behalf of him-

self and his co-defendants, Krantz averred that the Jerrold and Shapp companies have established a prac-tical monopoly in their product in this area, and that they have discrimi-nated against retail radio-TV dealers by refusing to sell them except at prices charged to consumers. Because of this prohibition, Krantz alleged he has lost $25,000 worth of business during the pelt year.

Rainbow Lights Drop in Phono, Radio Tax Take WASHINGTON, July 1.—Receipts

during the 1950 fiscal year from the tax on radios, phonos and parts totaled $40,883,799 u compared with $49,159,548 for 1949, a survey of In-ternal Revenue statistics disclosed this week. Despite the over-all drop. the trend started a reversal In the last quarter of 1950, with each month showing a gain over its counterpart of the preceding fiscal year. Most of the years' decline was

registered in the doldrum months of August, September, and October, 1949, which lagged behind the com-parable period in 1949 by nearly $6,-000,000. The postwar low was reached in August, 1949, when collections fell below the two-million mark for the first time, the following month's re-ceipts picked up slightly, but still remained under $2,000,000. The high in both fiscal years was

December, evidently reflecting Christ-mas sales. Receipts this part May were somewhat surprising in that they represented the second highest total in 1950. Over the past few fiscal years, the second leader has usually been November. Collections from the radio-phono

Hards Forms New Music Library Co.

NEW YORK, July I.—Music As-sociates, a new music service outfit for radio stations, wired music op, hotels, stores, plants and other out-lets ordinarily serviced by transcrip-tion libraries, has been formed here by Joseph F. Herds, former manager of the London Library Service. With the formation of this new out-

fit, the London Gramophone Corpora-tion has officially wrapped up its own venture into the local library field, a

unique one in that its material was all pressed on 78 r.p.m. disks. Herds' has exclusive rights and firm will now offer the London library disks for sale, rather than lease. It also will offer a consulting service to users. The London catalog is co mposed of

over 1,000 instrumental titles, most of which are 1.11.r.r. cuttings. They will be sold outright for 79 cents per disk, with no restrictions on use ex-cept for dubbing. Before joining London several years ago, Harris was with World Broadcasting and previously was ai assistant program director of Muzak

NEW YORK, July 1. — Sizzling weather drove them out of their homes and to the beaches, with the-aters coming in for a poor third. The result was that even the new bills didn't 1111 the over-all grosses to any great extent. The total take for the six Stem combo houses was $345,000 against the previous week's $370,000.

Beauties Banned In Philly Bistros

PHILADELPHIA, July 1.—Bathing beauty, pin-up, "Miss Philadelphia" and other beauty contests have been stopped at the cafes. The State liquor control board

ordered that, regardless of the cus-tom. there will be no "Miss Phila-delphia" contests or such in the clubs.

Grades Insert Clause Over Korean Sikh

Emergency Insurance

NEW YORK, July 1.—The Korean war is having its effect on overseas showbiz, with at least one talent buyer already drawing new contracta with the emergency clause inserted. Lew and Leslie Grade's American

rep, Eddie Elkort, said that in all new contracts to be issued for over-seas jobs, the old rider that used to be a part of all contracts during World War Il will be added. This will stipulate that should hostilities break out in an area which comes under military jurisdiction, the con-tract will be subject to immediate cancellation without penalties against either party. The William Morris office, said

it had no word on its future plans about cancellation clauses for over-seas contracts, but explained that it was looking toward some kind of clause to be inserted into oacts should the Korean mess spread. The General Artists' Corporation

(CAG) does most of its foreign bookings thru the Lew and Leslie Grade office and will probably be guided accordingly.

So Far, So Good At present, the livliest market for

American acts abroad is in London and Paris. Frank Sinatra just left for London, and other acts are booked for the next few months for the Palladium, the province: and some set for Parisian cafes. So far none of these areas is affected by the Korean hostilities, but London book-ers are apparently guarding them-selves against being caught in the middle. The only area likely to be hit

is Australia. But, according to David Martin, director of the Tivoli The-ater chain and the biggest talent buyer in that country, no immediate disruption in activities is foreseen.

Rump Fights AGVA-AFM Pact NEW YORK, July 1.—A group of

musical performers, calling itself the Association of Musical Acts (AMA), has joined together to fight the re-cent agreement signed between the American Guild of Variety Artists (AGVA) and the American Federa-tion of Musicians (AFM). Under this agreement, musical acts

charge they are deprived of proper representation, have been "sold down the river," and are asking that the 60-day cancellation clause in the agreement be invoked. The org, claiming to represent

about 300 performers, i.I headed by Eddy Manson, Don Henry and John Carleton. At its first meeting (29). AMA was addressed by Dewey Barto, former AGVA topper; William Fein-berg. Unity party prexy candidate on 802's AFM slate, and Max Arens, Unity party vet. The new group is circulating a

petition among AGVA members ask-ing for a special meeting of AGVA'n national board to take action on its complaints.

This is one of the strongest shows the house has come up with in some time (exclusive of its anniversary rackage) It moves, has pace, solid acts and practically each act ,es a standout lob. Bill started with the Arwooda, a

two-person dog act combining acro with performing dogs, some of it comical, and winding up to good hands. The Congaroos, a mixed quartet dancing act, came next. Starting as a j-bug group, it split into classy hoofing routines. Act finished amid screams (theirs and the audience's) of excitement in • routine that had them sitting on the edge of their seats. Paul Gerrits changed the pace

with his off-hand easy comedy that won giggles. His nonchalent precise chatter got a solid reception. Ger-rits' roller skating and juggling Were thrown in for added values, tho it was his lingo that held them. Her-man Hyde's standard gimmick act kept the laughs building. Toy and Wing's beautiful ballroomology, long a standard, was another crowd pleases. The two kids' appearance, youth and routines made them a standout. Lent Lynn, in a return date, was

as big a hit as on her first date The tiny redheaded soprano rocked them with her big voice as she went thru One Night of Love, followed it with • heavily --ranged El Cum-banchero. and wound it up with My itero. The audience ate it up. Frank Marlowe's standard tumult

tactics and pit falls fractured them. The crowd howled and yocked it up at every bit. It it wasn't that time was running out, Marlowe could've stayed on. His major fault was his getting off the mike too many times, but even that didn't lessen the gales of laughter. Kuda Buz is a clever illusion

builder. His magic tricks were skill-ful. But a great deal of his real value is lost because of inadequate salesmanship. He turns away from the mike too frequently and, in one trick, he lost his audience entirely. Latter had him drawing a pi.ture of a barrel on a framed paper after which he inserted a tap and drew liquids in wine glass which were passed out to the audience by his two fern assistants. The sketch, however, was almost invisible. He should use black paint, instead of a pencil to make it stand out. Pic: Tite Skipper Surprised His

Tho show has top marquee value in Bob Crosby and the Andrews Sisters, the latter having been in on several record-breaking shows here during the past decade, it lacks comedy. Be-cause Patti Andrews has bloomed as a Decca single, she has to do several of her hits sandwiched in between the regular requested sisters' stand-ards and new pop hits. As a result the gals don't hoke it up as much between numbers to get laughs. The sisters have gained in stature, with Patti's success, and her numbers get the same big mitt as their harmoniz-ing. Bob Crosby, who had a difficult

job of working between acts as em-see and holding his own solo spot, fared well. His easy, affable mono-logs fit in well between sees, while his songs, especially the special ma-terial stuff gets nifty returns. The last chorus of Daddy's Little Girl

Music Hall's show this week is pegged on the Fourth of July theme, with the staging catching the atmos-phere of patriotic carnival and gaiety. The result is a spectacle that does credit not only to Leonidoit and Bruno Maine respectively producer and set designer, but also the mar-velous technical and engineering fa-cilities of the theater. The latter was most noticeable in the finale— titled Shoot the Works, which, inci-dentally, is the title of the show. Shoot the Works, of course, wound up in a display of fireworks, includ-ing Rs man candles, pinwheels and the usual items—all done with lights. Alexander Smallena leading the or-

chestra precedes the stage show in a rendition of patriotic tunes, Let Freedom Ring which sets the theme. A newsreel follows. The stageshow proper with ballet and singing chorus, opens with a shooting gallery scene, which gives way to a midway spec-tacle including a number of side show entertainers. These are Gloria Slats and Bettie Vincent, tier° danc-ers who also do a suitable hula; Harold Norman, tricked out as a human skeleton, who performs on the xylophone. and Peg Leg Bates, in the garb of the pirate, Long John Silver. Bates, a standard act for years,

does three tap numbers, exhibiting his usual one-legged mastery of the terpsichorean art. His tapping is fluid and, in the finale number, acro-batic. Bates takes a strong hand. Preceding Bates, is Alan Carney,

talented mimic. Most impersonators spend much time on take-offs on Hollywood names. Carney does a couple of these —Charles Laughton and Edward G. Robinson —but de-votes the major portion of his turn to dialect. The lines, aside from the impersonations themselves, are clever —and this gives the act a plus value. There's no Music Hall show with-

out that sinuous, weaving line o/ high-stepping girls. Their piece de resistance this trip is built around the Peanut Vender tune, danced against • backdrop of an enormous gaucho. The movements are subtle and insinuating, precise and deft. Pie, The Next Voice You Hear.

Chi EMA Votes Solid Support For Pereenters CHICAGO, July 1. — A record

number of agents sent a solid vote of support to Artists' Representatives Association (ARA) central head-quarters in New York at the monthly meeting of the Entertainment Man-agers' Association (EMA), Midwest chapter of the national percenters' erg. Approximately 60 agents, largest

number ever to attend an agents' monthly meeting, unanimously backed a motion by Dave O'Malley, which thanked the Ch! reps. Freddy Williamson, Paul Marr and Sid Page, for their part in the ARA board of governors' meeting held in New York lut week (The Billboard July I) and which staunchly backed the resolute stand taken by ARA against the anti-agent associations' proposals drawn up by the recent American Guild of Variety Artists' (AGVA) convention in Philadelphia. Meeting included reps of the major offices. as well as 40 indie offices, including two offices from Des Moines. The crowded meeting heard a

message from ARA, which stated that up to AGVA convention time, plans for the new, revised Form B contract were being negotiated by reps of ARA and AGVA. One EMA officer urged the croup to take a unified front, pointing out that reps of the major offices, during the im-portant New York board of gover-nors' meeting had asked that the incite agents set the policy, but that indie agents had asked that both the smaller and bigger offices jointly work out a program to combat the AGVA dictum. He said that this was worked out to prevent any agent from feeling that major offices were attempting to run ARA. Page pointed out that AFIA'r policy followed closely along the lines of a program set up several months before by the Three A's New York group of club date bookers, who are not officially associated with ARA, but did attend in a body the general ARA member-ship meeting held after the board of governors' meeting in New York. Mart urged that any agent, ap-proached with the offer of taking out a free franchise direct with AGVA, refer the AGVA rep to Jack Katz, ABA's legal rep.

PITTSBURGH, July 1.—The En-tertainment Managers Association of Pittsburgh (EMA) announced it is forming a solid front against four measures adopted at the recent American Guild of Variety Artists (AGVA) convention in Philadelphia. Jim Lanagan president of the

group, said that nine independent agents in the city joined up Monday (26) to make every agent in the city a member of EMA. An affiliate of Artists Representatives Associa-tion, EMA has gone on record to state that it will not accept an AGVA francise unless it is sent thru the parent organization. EMA also adopted a resolution that

it would not accept franchises unless AGVA rescinded its ban on agent associations; its new arbitration set-(Sec CHI EMA VOTES on page 92)

This intimate Sunset Strip room offers a cosmopolitan sophisticated show. Three acts include Bobby Short, thrush Jeri Sullivan, and singer Paul Valentine. Altho music-ally top-heavy, the bill is first rate. Pianist-singer Short, a fixture here,

is tremendously popular and justly so. The lad is a sensational pianist and possesses an intimate style of singing and a personality which clicks. Accompanying himself at the keyboard Short gave out with tunes which Included such standouts as Thousands of Miles (from Lost in the Stars), Spea/cing of Lane, Can't Get Started With You and a medley from Of Thee I Sing. Boasting both creative imagination and style, Short can dress up an oldie with novel garb sa as to give customers a fresh and delightful impression. This lad could have New York at his feet. Songstress Jeri Sullivan, now on

the comeback trail after several years of inactivity, is excellent. Gal looks gorgeous, sings with intimacy and zest and can sell a song with the best of them. Her version of Crazy, He Calls Me had customers in the palm of her hand. For variety, she includes pops and novelties, scoring all the w ay. Working sans mike, she is able to project her easy style in every corner. Singing work of Paul Valentine,

long established as a stage and screen ballet dancer, proved a pleasant sur-prise. His pipes are trained and pleasing and his stage manner shows that he has worked hard to switch from terp to song. Valentine's bary voice has both power and range and phrasing is above average. Lad looks well and should have no trouble making his way as a singer. First show, he did six tunes, scoring best with Black Magic. Phil Moody deserves credit for ex-

pert plano backing of acts. Alan rise/der.

An entertaining band using a give-away gimmick plus a singing group is obviously an experiment for a room like the carriage-trade Star-light Roof. But judging by the way the upper bracket crowd received it, it's a cinch the experiment's a success. The Modernaires consisting of Paula

Kelly and her four boys (Fran Scott, Allan Copeland, Johnny Drake and Hal Dickinson) showed a real act that was as full of zing as it was loaded with show values The bunch worked in single bits, close harmony and threw in loads of comedy and sight stuff to bring them in way ahead. They teed oft with a cute Great To Be in Manhattan, then went into the bouncy I Met My Girl in Macy's. Then came Blind Date with offstage voices doing the sotto voce stuff for solid laughs. But the genie biggest w as 11011 1/W00d Party involving satiric takeoffs of such names as Greenstreet, Stewart, a hill-billy quartet and even a Kay Thomp-son doing Jubilee. Allan Copeland, who carried the burden of the take-offs, had a field day and showed talents that made him the spark plug of the Modernaires. The audience reception was so enthusiastic the bunch had ta beg off. Some of their material would make ideal TV fare. On the basis of their new act, the Modernaires can work any room or theater in the country. Sammy Kaye's dance music with

its distinct beat is ideal for the room. There was some doubt bow his want-to-lead-a-band gimmick would do with a boiled-shirt trade. But out-side of the fact that the sideman don't go in for the horseplay usually done in theaters the gimmick met with real success. Stunt is worked thru numbered tickets obtained at the door. Kaye calla out the num-bers and two gals and two boys get a week at batoneering with the win-ner getting a bottle of champagne. In the specialty department Kaye's

boy singer Tony Alamo is still a standout. The girl singer Judy John-son not only looks good but aLo is quite a tonsil thrower. The Kay-deis taking their turn during dance sets, make an ideal addition to a real show. But if the Kaye outfit did a good

job as a sight and dance outfit, they were outstanding as show backers They played the Modernaires' music like they've rehearsed it for weeks. Mischa Borr's Latin outfit did its

usual excellent chore in the relief spot. Bill Smith.

Conn. Gov. Okays New Nitery Curfew HARTFORD, Conn., July 1. —

Drinking establishments in most Con-necticut cities and towns may now stay open until 1 a.m. Sundays. Gov. Chester Bowles has signed

a bill extending the Saturday night deadline by one hour. The measure has been passed by the Connecticut General Assembly. Act applies to 151 of the 169 towns

in the State. Of the remaining, 14 are dry seven days a week and four have voted to ban Sunday sales. The act, in general, merely makes

legal what taverns, restaurants and night clubs have been doing since 1997. These locations were forced to cease

such activity some weeks ago when State's Attorney General William L. Hadden ruled that the establishments must close Saturday midnight, accord-ing to the law. Under the new bill towns may act to chop off the extra hour by town meeting or ordinance.

Tho gypsy life has been the pat-tern for many productions, the Romany life fails as ice show ma-terial because working on the blades and in such a confined space as this makes It Impossible to come up with the fast whirls and turns associated with this fiery type of music. Another factor which makes this sixth con-secutive leer the weakest in the lot Ls the almost complete absence of any real gypsy music. Arnold Shoda again shines with

his ballet-type leaping, which con-sistently pulled neat mitting, but he deserves more time. Joan Hyldoft, the fern lead skater, also did some top blade work, but she needs better make-up to brighten the contrast between her complexion and her blonde hair. Alice Farrar and Jim-my Carter, new in this revue, are the best adagio team thus far, and this room has had better than aver-age all the way. Biggest mitt in the show went to

the Maxwells, two anemic dead-pan comics, who return with some more sensational material. Boys opened with some of their easy acro-batics, which are especially brilliant considering most teams have diffi-culty without the handicap of skates. Closed with a new roly-boly turn, ending with an amazing two-man stand atop the quivering board, with both boys still on ice skates. Costumes again were tops, with

accolades to John Baur and Bernard Peterson. While production numbers did generally mi n the gypsy objec-tive, a fencing number, featuring duelists Jerry Mapes and Jack Raffloer, received rapt attention. Some p.m. or agent should take the Drewry Twins, a pair of the cutest blondes around, currently working in the line here and make them an act. On looks alone they're standouts. Frankie Masters's ork, as usual,

cut a fine show and did well for dancing. Masters should avoid milk-ing an audience, as he did during the Maxwells's turn, when he talked and laughed over the pa. system, pointing out act's fine points. They hardly need an assist.

Eddie Fisher in Chips on Break NEW YORK, July 1. — Eddie

Fisher has about 614,000 worth of dates lined up between now and the fall. A few weeks ago he was lucky if he got minimums—and even then the work was spotty. It all began when Fran Warren,

due to go into Bill Miller's Riviera. fell out of the show due to illness, and young Fisher got a break. Singer had worked there on a New Year's Eve, and Miller, remembering him, asked for him. When he finishes up at the Riviera

he's got the following dates lined up, and most of them in the nabe of $800 a week: Chubby's, Camden, N. J.; Casino, Toronto; Paramount, N. Y.; M ona mbo, Los Angeles; To wn Casino. Buffalo, and the Monte Carlo. Pitts-burgh. Dates total about 17 weeks, and new ones are already being added.

City "Peep Show" Peep-In Results in Changes,B.O.Plug

(Continued from page 3) hearing until the following morning. Meanwhile, he sent a representative to see the show. McCaffrey's objections stemmed

chiefly from the muscle-twisting of Lily Christine in a routine called De-ere and to June Alien's rotating tas-sels in strip-tease ballet satire. He stated that the department would tolerate "ne more bumps and grinds than it has in previous years" and that such matters would have to be toned down. Friday (30) the commissioner is-

sued a bulletin to the following ef-fect: "Michael Todd has voluntarily agreed to eliminate certain features of Peep Show to which objection haz been interposed by the department of licenses as a result of a conference at the department's office this morn-ing. Present were Todd, his attorney, J. Lincoln Morris, fourth deputy Police Commissioner Patrick J. Mee-han and License Commissioner Ed-ward T. McCaffrey. The department instated upon the elimination of any bumps and grinds or strip tease in certain specialty numbers, to which Todd acquiesced. The portions to be eliminated are to be put into effect immediately." Later in the day, a call to Todd's

offices verified that the necessary changes were already under way. Di-rector Hassard Short was reported at the theater supervising the trimming of Miss Christine's cat antics and subsequent body gyrations in a shimmy number. Also Miss Allen's upper-torso tassels were on the re-form agenda as well as a small clean-up in an Adam and Eve motif, danced by Corrine and Tito Valdes. Last reports have the license de-

partment keeping an alert eye on Peep Show, a surveillance which, It It accomplishes no other effect, is wonderful for the b.o.

Sides and Asides

Mary Martin Stricken But "S.P." Rolla On For the first time since April 7, 1849, when "South Pacific" bowed

in at the Majestic Theater, Mary Martin was taken ill after the per-formance Thursday (29) and yesterday morning (30) was rushed to the New York Hospital where her illness was diagnosed as possible appendicitis. At this writing no further details were available, but management is hopeful no operation will be necessary and that the star will be able to return to the cast Monday (3). Meanwhile, Billie Worth, who was Miss Martin's stand-in with "Annie Get Your Gun," took over the Nellie Forbush assignment Friday (30) for an excellent reception, and such is "S. P.'s" mysterious magnetism, that even with the star absent, not a seat was vacant at curtain-rise. (The Billboard made a first-hand check.)

"Born Yesterday" To Open Miami Beach House Datum Davis has rechristened his Kitty Davis Club in Miami

Beach the Kitty Davis Theater, tossed out all food and beverage sales end turned the bistro into a 400-seat theater. He has engaged Bill Ross as producer and will present a resident Equity company, with occasional jobbing of special assignments. Schedule sets a mid-July with "Born Yesterday," followed by "Harvey" and "Angel Street." Price scale calls for a $2.50 top. Should the venture prove successful, Davis plans to continue with weekly bill changes thru the winter.

Gene Kelly, Shirley Booth May Team in Musical "Tree" A wonderful combo to come about, if George Abbott has his way,

will be the co-starring of Gene Kelly and Shirley Booth in the musical version of Betty Smith's "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn," for which Irving Berlin will do the score. Both Kelly and Miss Booth are interested, according to Abbott. However, the project would have to be timed to meet Kelly's MGM schedule and Berlin is still busy on tunes for "Call Me Madam," which has a priority. Meanwhile, Miss Booth keeps busy with "Come Back, Little Sheba" at the Booth Theater.

Nanette Fabray May Play Helen Hayes's Old "Fairy" Role It is more than possible that Nanette Fabray's next Stem appear-

ance may be in a part Helen Hayes made famous 20 years ago. Pres-ton Sturges has written a musical version of Molnar's "The Good Fairy," which has a score end lyrics by Hugh Martin, La Fabray is wanted for Lu, the usherette, the role created by Miss Hayes. Plans are still in the formation stage, but there is a good chance that "Fairy," or whatever they may retitle it, may be e Broadway fall entrant.

This American National Theater' and Academy (ANTA) production of Shaw's Getting Married is an appe-tizing dish, garnished with a cast of highly seasoned stage stars. The combination of the Shavian pen and the name value of the play's many performers should no doubt attract , customer interest. In viewing this "conversation" from afar, it has glar-ing faults. It is wordy, especially the overlong third act, and is not up to Shaw's top form. Nonetheless, it is laugh-laden from the start and moves along with both pace and sureness. Save for a tendency to over-stylized British drawing room atmosphere, Married has much to offer. Shaw's premise is the virtue of

marriage as against "business con-tract" relationships between man and woman. In rebelling against wed-ding vows, the playwright is not against wedded bliss but rather vio-lently opposed to antiquated British divorce laws which doom unhappy couples to life-long misery. To young Edith Bridgenarth (played by Dora Sayers) the thought of this risk be-comes so terrible that she refuses to go thru with her marriage to young Cecil Sykes (John Merivale). In-stead, it is proposed that a legal con-(See Getting Married on opp. page)

Silo Circuit No matter how the stage fare

fares at the Green Hills Summer Theater near Reading, Pa., there will be no shifting the interest of the patrons. Playhouse has added a miniature golf course. When the drama begins to pall, the customer can always switch to golf. From the "deepest south at

all summer stock" enterprise; 'red Maunts drumbeater /or Pearson Productions, which is giving New Orleans its fire taste of silo stock at the Poche The-ater, jubilantly reports that the troupe's first effort, Born Yes-terday, got off to local rave no-tices. What is more to the point, Mauntr claims an Initial week's patronage of 3,550 for a gross of $7,300 at a $2.50 top. The next bill unveils Wednesday (5) fea-turing Romola Robb, Randolph Echols and Don Kennedy with an all-Equity company in The Male Animal Speaking again of Born Yes-

terday, the Putnam County (Mahopac, N. Y.) Playhouse opined its fifth season Saturday (I) with another revival of Ger-son Ifanin's comedy. Director Jill Miller is spearheading a splendid notion, which will like-ly be followed by other silo managements. The Monday (3) performance of Yesterday was given for the benefit of the Equity Library Theater with all members of the no-star, resident company giving their services gratis. Miss Miller announces tryouts of three new scripts at the Playhouse for later in the season. The first will be a com-edy. Best of Spirits, by Joel Turner. Still harping on Born Yes-

terday, pic-star Shelly Winters made her only summer appear-ance on Cape Cod in another re-vival at the Cape (Dennis, Mass.) Playhouse for the week starting Monday (3). Judson Pratt was featured in support, and the cast included Richard Midgley, Richard Robbins, Jack Bittner, Dortha Duckworth, Arthur Jarret and Scott .Mer-rill Alan Schneider directed and the set was by Eugene Pasch, George Kelly's grand old

comedy of the early '201. when the one-acter and the amateur thespian were in their glory, got a revival Monday (3) at the Westchester (N. Y.) Playhouse. Mildred Natwick starred as the lady-director of The Torch Bearers who is determined on art-for-art's-sake. Her assistants included Nan McFarland, Gene Lyons, Will Kulova, Althea Murphy, Velma Royton, Arthur Cole, James Reese and Frank Flemming. Pompton Lakes (N. J.) Sum-

mer Theater reopened Monday (3) under new management and a new price policy. Lawrence E. Parke, promotion director of Equity Library Theater's test series in New York last spring, Is the new managing director. Parke believes that good pro-ductions can be given at budget prices gaited to silo purses, and has set his tariffs at 60 cents to a top of $1.80.

The choice of J. C. and Elliott Nugent's The Poor Nut is a happy one for its current star, Lon Mc-Callister, who is touring the straw-hat circuits with a package revival If successive appearances are as well done as its first week at the Sea Cliff Summer Theater, this can be one of the most popular shows taking the trek. Of 1920 vintage, Poor Nut presents

the ever-popular thesis —the worm turns —against that roaring period. As a memory refresher, note that John Miller is a Phi Beta Kappa in botany at Ohio University, who has illusions of great athletic achieve-ments. An inferiority complex (rarely known of in those days) keens him from really trying. Pro-moted, however, by a flapper pen pal who turns up, the coach and the innocent girl he cornes to love, he finally wins a track meet against Wisconsin, captures a gold cup for Ohio and takes his Innocent lovely to wife. All this is treated in comic vain,

considerably aided by Louie Mac-Millan's 1920 staging. Sticking to the flapper era, MacMillan has really revived the show; any datedness in dialog seems quite in keeping. Script and production achieve unity. The costuming is generally top-grade, but the four sets of Patience Perry are hardly adequate.

McCallister Tops Lon McCallister handles his chores

like a legit veteran, which he is not, and deserves the star billing he's carrying. He has an actor-proof role, and aside from the fact that he has a tendency to punch too hard, his characterization is nigh perfect, and his line-reading fine. But the pack-age is not his alone. He gets ex-• celient help from apprentices and members of the local company. Joy Geffen shows to excellent advantage wh. an actress can do with a namby-pamby ingenue chore. linda Cordish has the choice plum of the flapper. Tho she has a tendency to lose control, she portraits cleverly a replica of the slicker-cartoon fern. Charles O'Connor, of the package group, and residents William Hara-han, Thomas Ratcliffe and Bradford Hunt do much to give fino assists. Poor Nut seems a natural for the

silos. The oldsters can reminisce delightfully; the kids can see clearly what mon and pop have been talking about all this time. Besides, there is that old worm turning, for which almost anyone is a sucker. If future silos keep the pace of the initial run, this package ought to pay-off handily in any locality. McCallister's name is big enough to draw quite a few, and word-of-mouth about his per-formance and the show should do the rest. Dennis McDonald.

Healthy Start Lined Up for Philly Legit PHILADELPHIA, July L—Altho

the past legit season was extremely late in starting and very early on the finish, Nathan P. Abrahams, manager of the Shubert houses here, reports that the 1950-'51 season will kick off to an early start in the fall. Due for an extended stay beginning August 28 is the touring company of Mister Robert, as the opener, at the Forrest Theater. The following week sheds the ar-

rival of Celeste Holm and Reginald Owen at the Locust Street Theater in Louis Verneuil's romantic comedy, Affairs of State. Co-producers Her-man Levin and Oliver Smith have penciled in their new Bless You All revue for a November preem here. At the same time, added to the 16 shows previously announced for the coming season, a November visit for Joseph Hyman's satirical revue, DiO Time, has also been placed on the growing roster. Time has a score by movieland's Dimitri Tiomkin and sketches by Lee ROIN W and Arnold

his ditto typewriter. There is also a somewhat corny drunk, and a lad who drops in and out alternately to soak and reclaim his dress suit. The girl speedily puts her charm

spell on everybody, but they all rea-lize that she must be jolted into • pattern for practical living —and thereby comes the Shiffrin plot. She falls in love with the amiable writer, but it seems she has a husband, a killer, who Is pursuing her with homicidal intent. Being completely unworldly, despite all urgings she refuses to call the pollee. The gang-ster arrives and, when she refuses to go away with him, in the ensuing fracas shoots the pawnbroker and gets himself killed.

Switcheroo Ending However, Shiffrin has devised an

amusing switch ending which leaves a pew-sitter wondering whether the lass will ever get over being slightly loco. It is all projected with a some-what Saroyanesque unreality but it is warm and kindly, preaching no sermon except, perhaps, that in the current state of the world, people of good will must occasionally per-sonally operate on society's sores. Tailored and pruned and with sharper integration of playing, Angel might eventually chance a Broad way reception. But It 13 currently too determinedly charming to stand any such competition. Dowling is excellent as the irasci-

ble pawnbroker with a heart of gold beneath a dirty shirt. He builds a portraint of far greater stature than anything the script gives him. It is one of those performances which grows steadily on a pew-sitter as the scenes slide by. Too much credit can't be given,

either, to the bemused do-gooder of Joan McCracken. It's a long stride from the ballet to this sort of arduous dramatic chore, but the McCracken does better each time out. She has just the right elfin quality for this sort of thing, and she manages a minor magic with even some terri-fyingly long speeches. And since the part calls for occasional inter-polated stepping, she is beautifully cut. Murray Hamilton adds a dash of

ingenuous personality to the budding writing genius who eventually wins her. Willie Lewis shows that ne can act as well as blow a mean clarinet in his first legit attempt, and there is sound support from Robert Webber, Hugh Reilly and John Farrell in lesser roles. Martin Mamullas staging gives Angel the kind of rose-spectacled projection it needs. and Eldon Elder has dreamed up a wonderful pawnshop set. A reporter just wonders how they're going to carry all those props when they pack-age it around. Bob Francis.

mented with the burly pattern in a matter called Star and Garter for a tidy run of a year and a half. His newest effort in the field of strip and bump, which he sponsors after the manner of some previous cele-brated entrepreneurs of female pulchritude as Michael Todd's Peep Show, has everything that Garter ever had —then some. If customer taste for this sort of undressed she-nanigans remains constant—and there seems no good reason to believe it doesn't—Peep Show can run twice as long as its predecessor. Todd's gals of the ensemble have,

as they tell you in song, what it takes—toy, bottom, fore and aft —a treat for the eye of any visiting fire-man and also local yokels. The only trouble is that it costs $7.20 a pew to see them from the orchestra, a stiff tariff even for the ravishing exposures the Todd charmers put on view. In the face of some bad break-in

notices, Todd has evidently been wise to have held Peep Show out for an extra week of polishing and groom-ing. At all events, his official un-veiling spotlights a fast, smoothly oiled show which meets every re-qirement of the kind of entertain-ment he is huckstering. Hassard Short has accomplished a handsome over-all staging and lighting chore, similar to that which he gave Garter. How-ard Bay's sets are lush frames, and Irene Sharaff's costumes —what lit-tle there are of them —eye-poppers. The sketches, directed and con-tributed to by Robert Edmund (Bob-by) Clark, with scripting assists from H. I. Phillips, William Roos and Billy K. Wells, are surprisingly amusing and less vulgar than expected, and are ably handled by such wheel vet comics as Bozo Snyder, Ni Wilber-force Conly, Peanuts Mann, Red Marshall and straighters Spike Hamilton and Dick (Gabby) Dana. Song-and-dance-wise, Peep Show

isn't up to much. Despite a flock of expert contributors to the tune and lyric department, outside of a pleas-ant little number, Stay With the Happy People, by Bob Hilliard and Jule Styne, and another by Herb Magidson and Sammy Fain, called Violins From Nowhere, there's noth-ing even hummable to be carried out of the theater. But Harold Rome has concocted

a couple of amusing specialties for the clown contingent to chant, and James

PHILADELPHIA, July I. — The three-week stay of Mike Todd's Peep Show at the Forrest Theater, ended last Saturday (24), hit some real pay-dirt for the producer. In chalking up a top-heavy $108,000 /or the stretch, the burly styled opus also set a rec-ord for standees at the Shubert-op-erated temple. Peep Show actually brought the

1950 stage season to a close, altho being the first stage offering in a moon of weeks or more.

tract be drawn which would afford both parties protection against tragic marriage. With this plan, Shaw explores the

many possibilities of such a contract. After much haggling and bickering, it becomes apparent that no contract can. ever be drawn to satisfy all shades of opinion. In the end, mar-riage according to the old standards is recognized as the lesser of the two evils, even with all risks and tribula-tions considered. Acting is uniformly excellent save

for one glaring fault. In the creation of this cross section of upper-class English society, the actors all fall prey to word rnouthings and clipped, muttered accents. At times this be-came downright annoying. Best acting job overall is credited

to Dennis King as the lovable, broad-minded, intelligent Bishop of Chel-sea. Cedric Hardwicke (who di-rected as well as acted in the play) shines u Collins, the Greengrocer. Others of equally top caliber included Judith Evelyn, Arthur Treacher, Ralph Forbes, John Buckmaster, Colin Keith-Johnston, Mary Scott and Margaret Bannerman. Mady Christians, who appears in one im-portant scene only, sparkles in her brief stint. Direction, settings and acting are

good —and in this case better than the play. With a lesser cast, the opus would die; with this brilliant assem-bly of performers, it plays well and shows little the worse for age and wear. Alan Fischier.

Starbuck has devised sufficient dance patterns to show off the 24 ladies and seven gentlemen of the ensemble to fine advantage. However, Peep Show is geared to

sell just one thing, and as long as it's spotted with laughs enough to hold it together, who cares about tunes and lyrics when the gals get expert assistance in selling what they so evidently have to sell. Chantress Lina Ronny gets top

billing cast-wise. She is quite an eyeful and makes an auspicious Stem legit debut. Lily Christine con-tributes some torrid body-writhings and, incidentally, in spite of all the obviously spotlighted undressing, pro-vides the show's one sordid note. But in specialties, Peep Show gets a real cast lift. The Pairo Brothers are wonderful when juggling hats on sticks. Clifford Guest adds a good ventriloquist routine. Myrtill and Pacaud interpolate • stunning Sia-mese adagio in the first act's sock finale to a tune by Bhumlbol (in pri-vate life H.R.H., the King of Thai). Corrine and Tito Valdez are likewise splendid when spotlighted in another stepping tour-de-force. And lest the heel-and-toe school be overlooked, Jesus Moll is in there for a highly effective session of tapping. There's no question that if a pew

sitter wanted to pick Peep Show apart he could rake tiP a sizable list of faults. And if he doesn't like to look at practically naked ladies he'd best stay away from the Winter Gar-den. But for the kind of entertain-ment it is Peep Show fills the bill and should attract a flock of cus-tomers. Professor Todd charges plenty per eye to the keyhole, but he provides plenty on the other side — even a sensational bubble-bath finale.

(Continued from page 3) to take advantage of these ter-rific offers, and since we don't seem to have this much cash to stick in our decrepit record department, I have been struck with a much better Idea. "In brief, we have such a splendid

selection of old, dusty, slightly warped antique 78 r.p.m. records that here is a terrific opportunity for some of the major manufacturers to replen-ish their depleted 78 stocks and at the same time get rid of some of their 33's and 45's. "We offer any manufacturer what

we call the Carlisle Radio Summer Inventory Plan. We will buy one 33 or 45 record for every 15 78's they take back. This offer is for a limited time only and must be taken ad-vantage of before September 1985. We guarantee each record to play perfectly on any standard record player with a good needle. "Remember, li mited quantities,

only 11,589 records our inventory — so hurry! "We don't make much money in

the record business, but we haven't lost our sense of humor as you -ee.

this letter from Music Publisher Sam Weiss: "I have just read an article written

in New York in the July 1 issue, on page 14, entitled Walking Around With Songs. This article is a terrible slap in the face to me, inasmuch as I have been in business eight months and have published five different songs, and have managed to get 31 major recordings on these five songs. Each song has been worked on, and finally one stepped out and is a hit by sheer work and effort on the part of my brother and me who are in business together. In the past eight months, since I left the firm of Edwin R. Morris, I have been offered many of the top jobs in the music business and have turned them down. I think I deserve • chance like any other publisher who started the same way. After all, where did all of these firms come from? "I also resent the fact that in the

article there is a statement that I have turned my song over to Henry Spitzer. This is untrue. I have had a selling agency deal with Henry Pitzer since the inception of my firm. I am publishing Som's Song as well as my previously published songs namely: A Man Wrote a Song, Dave Franklin. Mad About You, Victor Young-Ned Washington. Can I Come In for a Second, Sammy Calm. Mar-riage Ties, Irving Gordon. "These songs have been recorded

by the top artists in the country." "1 would appreciate it if a correc-

tion is made in your next issue." It's net easy to keep everybody

hapy all the time, but we certainly try.

BILLBOARD BACKSTAGE

By Joe Colds

Korea War May Affect Tax Cut

(Continued from page 4) July or early August, time is rapidly running out for the bill. The Senate Finance Committee is expected to de-vote some two weeks to consider-ation, after which the Senate will take It up. Chief point of controversy in the

committee is likely to develop over the change in the corporate tax struc-ture voted by the House. Most GOP-era and some Democrats are opposed to this change. A GOP attempt in the House to send the measure back to the Ways and Means Committee vsith instructions to separate excise cuts from the other provisions was defeated, 238-147. Under "closed rule" procedure the

House had no chance to vote on any of the House committee proposals and could only approve or reject the measure in its entirety. No such rule exists in the Senate. and many of the tax provisions will probably get separate votes when the measure reaches the Senate floor. As it conies under Senate commit-

tee scrutiny, the bill cuts excises on scores of items, including admissions. cabarets, musical instruments and transportation (The Billboard, July 1). Restrictions in the tax-exempt status of non-related business enter-prises of schools and foundations and on U. S. citizens working in U. S. possessions are also included. One excise tax, that on coin-operated gaming devices, would be increased. The bill contains a change in the

method of computing the admissions tax on reduced tabs. At present. Per-sons getting passes or reduced rates must still pay tax on the established price. The bill provides that the tax will apply only on the actual charge, if any.

Business, according to of-ficials has been off in all towns played, with one spot showing up with a loss. Bill Stout, who joined the org

The Find Curtain By E. F. Henn..

He goes every day to a bench in the perk,

With a paper of bread crumbs for birds;

And when he has finished feeding the pets,

He musingly utters strange words. Such words as he whispers under his breath,

Are so strange they seem almost absurd;

Until often in passion he raises his voice,

And lines from great plays may be heard.

Lay on, MeeDuff, dam'd be he who first cries 'hold,' enough,"

In a high-pitched voice he will shout; "A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a hone!"

Then will come ringing out.

"The world is mine," he will shout with glee,

As he majestically points to the sky; "Stand back! stand back! or I'll shoot, I say!"

He calls at some passer-by.

Schaffner Biz Grows After Adverse-Weather Launching FAIRFIELD, Ia., July I.—Schaff-

ner's Toby and Susie Players, cur-rently in their fifth week of their 25th anniversary tour of Iowa, Western Illinois and Northern Missouri, have been playing to spotty business which has sent figures for the early part of the trek below average. However, results the past two weeks for the tenter, owned and operated by Neil and Caroline Schaffner, have been reported as satisfactory. The unit opened the season at Its Wapello, la., winter quarters May 22 and its open-ing here brought out a packed house. The Schaffners have charged ad-

verse weather in the form of heavy rains, floods and high winds with the initial slump and add that all indica-tions point to a profitable season as a whole. The aggregation this year has blossomed out with a new outfit from marquee to back end. On the show this season are Doug

Ackley, Dorothea Roberts, Ed (Srnil-

"Those bells, those bells, can't you hear them?

They're driving me mac4.-Insane; Take 'em away, I say, away!" And his face shows anguish and pain.

And so it goes as he dreams of the past,

And all the great parts he has done; As he waits each day on the bench in the park, for the Final Curtain to come.

Philly Area Spots Push Promotions

PHILADELPHIA, July 1.—Drive-in theaters h1 this area are giving major attention to big promotional campaigns to keep business humming at its current fast pace. Jack Hamil-ton, manager of Walter Reade's At-lantic Drive-In near Atlantic City is sponsoring a Kiddie King and Queen Contest. Any child of walking age to six years is eligible, with merchants in the area contributing hundreds of dollars of merchandise prizes. Prizes also will be awarded to the mother and father of the winning king and queen who will be entered in the na-tional finale at Asbury Park, N. J., later in the season. Also emphasing appeal to young-

sters, a monkey circus has been in-stalled at Brandywine Drive-In near Wilmington, Del.. with a live monkey house also at the Elkton Drive-In near the Delaware-Maryland border. With the closing of school, Brandy-

wine introduced a Family Night with Harry (Uncle W m) Hubbell on hand to greet the kiddies. The Sky-Vue Drive-In near Lancaster, Fa is running a family night once a week, with the admission price el per car, regardless of the number of occu-pants. The Elkton Drive-In also earned itself a lot of good will in staging a benefit show for the Elkton-Singerly Fire Company.

Lindberg, • former repster and cur-rently traveling Iowa and Illinois as division manager for Mail Pouch To-bacco Company, came away from Schaffner's Toby and Susie Playera' opening performance here this week with the statement that "it's a dis-tinct pleasure to be able to come across one of the few remaining tent shows like the Schaffner org in mak-ing my territory. "A visit to the show readily ac-

quaints one with the reasons this org continues to survive where so many of its kind are eliminated from the field of entertainment. Regardless of the type of attraction, the old prin-ciples of good, honest showmanship will always pay off and a good num-ber of our would-be managers seem to have either forgotten them or never learned them. I think they can be re-capped quickly. "Let 'ern know you have the show.

Sell it. Give them something- to see when they get there. Leave them with a good taste in their mouth. Per-formances that a mediocre high school dramatic class would be ashamed to play cannot possibly have anything but a bad after-effect when presented under the guise of profes-sional work. The shows must be ably (See Lindberg Points on page 94)

TEPID TEE-OFF FOR CHI FAIR House-Okayed AdmissionTax Cut to Senate Bill Would Exempt Faire

WASHINGTON, July 1.—The omni-bus excise tax bill, which includes an admissions tax cut to 10 per cent and revamps certain admissions levy pro-cedures, was passed by the House this week by a vote of 375 to 14 and sent to the Senate where it must sur-vive the complications of approach-ing adjournment and unsettled inter-national condlUons. As approved by the House, the

measure slices the tax in half and exempts non-profit agricultural fairs and municipal swimming pools and beaches. Also exempted are admissions to

functions put on by veterans groups, churches, schools and police and fire departments. However, the exemp-tion does not apply if the functions put on by such groups include pro-fessional entertainment. Under terms of the 'bill, passes

would be exempt from the tax, and the tar would be collected only on reduced rates rather than on estab-lished prices, as at present. In re-porting this change to the House, the Ways and Means Committee said, "It does not appear that the administration of the tax is facili-tated by taxing free admissions and taxing reduced admissions at estab-lished prices. Moreover, thug is a source of irritation to the public and is inequitable to the amusement op-erators who desire to have reduced prices for special groups." The change, the committee added, does not apply to horse and dog races.

Farmers' Cash 10% Less Than in 1949

WASHINGTON, July 1. — Outdoor bows playing rural routes will find farmers' cash some 10 per cent less than last year. according to a predic-tion by Agriculture Department based on estimates for the first six months of 1950. The net farmer take for the first half of the year was estimated at 610,600,000,000. a drop of 9 per cent from the same 1949 period. State-by-State breakdowns for the

first four months of 1950 indicate rougher going for shows in all rural areas of the country this season, but a few States are escaping the general downward trend. Showing a big gain over lut year in farm cash receipts was Florida, which grossed 6205.077,-000, ati compared with $171.261,000 for the January-April, 1949 period. Other States showing gains over

last year were Texas. Illinois, Ken-tucky and Oklahoma. All other States showed decreases, according to Agri-culture Department estimates. The Illinois and Texas gains in

farm receipts are significant since they are among the top five States in total farm income. Illinois, for ex-ample, collected nearly as much for farm goods during the first four months of the year as the nine States of the North Atlantic Region com-bined, and that area includes New York and Pennsylvania,

Double Take FREDERICTON, N. B., July

1.—Two outdoor units were working for the Fredericton branch of the Canadian Legion this week. Unusual situation was created when the Greater Exposition Shows decided to stay here a second week, thus becoming opposition to Dailey Bros.' Circus, in town Wednes-day (28). Both were sponsored by the vets.

Cole Opens To Light- Biz In Brooklyn "Hopelong" Exits July 22

NEW YORK, July 1.—Cole Bros.' Circus opened to a sparse crowd es-timated at not more than 7,000 last night at Ebbets Field, home of the Dodgers. Show runs thru the holiday, Tuesday (4), for a total of nine per-formances. Current date is the second within

three weeks in the metropolitan area. The first, a nine-performance run which concluded last Sunday (25), was staged at the Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Anticipated hefty business on the final two days failed to ma-terilze, with the result that the date could only be termed fair. First mati-nee, Thursday (22), was big and gave promise of sensational week-end biz, but the remaining performances failed to draw above 10,000 individu-ally. Crowds would have been of turn-away proportions under canvas, but in the huge 64,000-seat stadium they were lost. Show execs must have felt that the

failure to draw big week-end at-tendance was due in part to price policy of full fare for kids Saturday and Sunday. instead of offering mop-pets half-price lure for the entire run. As a result, the half-price policy has been adopted for the entire run (See Cole Bros. Brooklyn, page 59)

Henry RoeIler, 48, Dies of Heart Attack; Buried in Pottstown GRAFTON, W. Va., July 1.—Henry

RoeIler, well-known operator of sound amplifying equipment for out-door show business events, died of a heart attack here Saturday night (24). He was 48. Despite the handicap of a heart

condition for a number of years, Roeller carried on his extensive and rigorous operations without curtail-ment. Death occurred about 8 p.m., shortly after his car and trailer were involved in an accident. The ensuing excitement resulted in the fatal at-tack. Roeller was here in his capacity

as sound technician for the Cetlin Wilson Shows, a post that he held thru the still date season for 12 years. As an independent contractor he op-erated extensively thruout the East, specializing in the supplying, servic-ing and operation of sound systems for fairs. At the height of the fair season it was necessary for him to employ several mobile units to fulfill

Permanent Lakefront Annual Bows With Rehashed Pageant, Lacking New Sock Attraction Early Days of 73.Day Event Yield None-Too-Strong Gate

By Herb Datten

CHICAGO, July 1.—Geared to make money, the Chicago Fair, which opened its 73-day run on the lakefront Saturday (24). needs only people to turn the trick. But thru Wednesday (28). the fifth day, attendance was neither up to expectations nor approaching money-making proportions. Execs, as a result, huddled Thursday (29) to plot ways of giving the event a hearty goose which would enable the gate to hit the sought 2,000,000-mark for the full run. One decision was to doll up and liven the so-called (but not loudly) midway area by the introduction of more flags and additional

p a systems and by spotting more personnel garbed in Dixieland motif. The other decision was to present special events calculated primarily to snare publicity, rather than con-centrate on special events designed chiefly to build attendance and sec-ondarily to snare publicity, as had been the policy. Veteran observers, however, were

inclined to the belief that these measures would have a beneficial ef-fect but, at best, would be but half-way measures. The midway area, they hold, needs more than the light going-over planned. Too, they con-tend the fair needs the addition of at least one potent and constant attrac-tion. Little hope is held, the, that the execs will bring in a strong lure.

Attendance Dhappointing Thru Wednesday (28), the at-

tendance was a disappointing 85,592 Count, to be sure, would have been higher if a downpour had not pelted the opening day. Sunday's (25) gate was below expectations. totaling 29,690, poor actually for the opening Sunday. Disappointing, too, has been the

attendance at the Frontiers of Free-dom pageant. Thru the first five days the four-a-day spec pia: ed tc only 24,230. On that basis, it was at-tracting fewer than one out of every third person passing thru the outside (See Model Homes, Atom on page 65)

Plucking the Stem NEW YORK, July 1.—Out-

door showbiz units are making a strong pitch for Broadway habitues. Jack and Irving Rosenthal have a giant painted board heralding the attractions of their Palisades (N. J.) Amusement Park at the corner of 47th Street and Broadway. Alongside are 24-sheet bills selling the public on Ed Kel-mans' Indian Point Park, 40 miles to the north of the city, and Cole Bros.' Circus and its star, Bill (Hopalong Cassidy) Boyd, • currently at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn.

Sunbrock Afoul Of Federals on Ciney Tax Claim CINCINNATI, July 1.—Larry Sun-

brock, rodeo promoter, is going to be forced to clear up a tax lien filed against him by the federal govern-ment after he staged a show at Cros-ley Field here in 1944. Thomas A. Gallagher, collector of internal reve-nue, is holding $12,057.66 which he says is the government's share of re-ceipts taken et Sunbrock's show here. Jack Andrews and Mrs. Marion

Pope Sunbrock, believed to be Larry Sunbrock's wife, have sued Sun-brock and the government to pre-vent the money from going to the government. Andrews and Mrs. Sun-brock claim that the money was due them in payment for funds they ad-vanced so that the rodeo could be staged. When neither Andrews nor the

Sunbrocks appeared June 30 when the case was called for hearing in District Court here, Judge John H. Druffel continued the hearing until July 12, and ordered the U. S. mar-shal to subpoena Sunbrock, if nec-esarY, to get him into court. Government attorneys say that

federal claims for $100,000 have been filed against Sunbrock in various parts of the country.

Youth Confesses Setting Ringling Hartford Blaze COLUMBUS, 0., July 1.—A 21-

year-old youth has confessed here that he set the fire which burned the Ringling-Barnum circus at Hartford, Conn., in 1944, according to State Fire Marshal Harry J. Callan. The youth is Robert D. Segee,

O., who was arrested on an Illinois farm last May by authorities investigating mysterious blazes in Ohio. The marshal said Segee also signed statements admitting he set numerous other fires in several States and that he was responsible /or tak-ing the lives of four persons over a period uf several years. According to Callan, Segee was

with the circus for two weeks, in-cluding the day of the fire. A friend of Segee was arrested some time ago in connection with a fire at Mills Bros.' winter quarters. Segee has been indicted on two arson charges in Ohio.

Mike Smith's Climb From Fonts To Fronts; Story of Toil Sweat

By Sam Abbott

ea* Is ...Abe, of a series of mild . on littleknown Itiem about people prondnent in outdoor show banilne m.)

ØNE SULTRY SUMMER DAY last year when the Northern Exposition Shows were playing dates in the Montana hills, a salesman walked on

the showgrounds looking for the owner. Until he saw a man working underneath a truck, he thought the lot had been deserted.

"Where can I find Mike Smith?" the salesman asked. "He'll be here about 130," the grime-covered mechanic answered,

pausing in his work only to reach for a wrench. "That's a couple of hours. What's he do—keep banker's hours?" the

visitor asked in evident disgust.

Stickler on Job Mike Smith is not one to Duff off

salesmen or anyone who wants to see him. But when the shows are moving, keeping them on schedule is of prime importance to him. When the sales-man called that particular day, Smith was set on getting his shows over the road—and he would not have climbed from under that truck until the job was completed for anyone. Smith knows what it is to work, for

he has done it since he was 11 years old. The shows that he has built were achieved with sweat. Long hours are not new to him, and he knows every job from billposting to cleaning the lot after the shows have moved.

Display. K now- DOW

He displayed his wide knowledge of his operation last January when he appeared before the Montana B-1 Circuit fair managers. When it came his time to talk, he walked calmly into the room, braced himself against the table in front of the group. In a soft anti even voice he made his pitch. He told them what he had to offer and cited his past record of five years on the circuit. His bid, it turned out, was the lowest offered and he walked away with the contract to play the seven fairs on the circuit.

Mike Smith does not know exactly how he got that name, for he was born Aaron Burr Smith in Rock Valley, la., 39 years ago. His guess is that the monicker came about because a man, Mike Sullivan, who worked on the elder Smith's railroad section gang, had one arm. As a youngster, Smith

Revival of Communtty Fairs In Los Angeles Area Is Sparked By Goebel's Pan-American Shows -LOS ANGELES, July 1. — The community fair has become a top-

notch spot irt this area during the past three years with Louis Goebel's Pan-American Shows largely responsible for the revival of these dates. Start-ing in 1947, the shows played 85 fairs in two years and has 34 set for 1950. Stands run an average of five days with the sponsor's cut hitting around $3,400 for each date. The shows' business is 20 per cent ahead of 1949. Headed by Jimmy Wood as general manager, the shows carry 10 rides and no concessions or shows. Concession stands are provided but these are rented along with a 320 by 80-foot big top complete with deco-rated display booths. Moving on 25 trucks and trailers, the shows have seven 31-foot fluorescent towers. Opening March 23, org will close Armistice Day week-end.

59,400 Top Sponsor'. Cut Pan-American does not operate any

of the concessions but places them at the disposal of the committee. The committee, however, does get a per-centage of the ride money. Past ac-countings have shown that the org has, with rental and ride money, pulled just about what the committee has made. Altho it averages $3,400, the committee take has run from a $97 loss to a $9,400 profit, the latter being for the Crenshaw area event. The operation grew out of a sit-

uation in 1947 when Wood returned to town after having out his ill-fated 101 Ranch and Yankee-Patterson Cir-cus. With no funds worthy of men-tion and absolutely no equipment, Wood bid on the community fair at Westchester, a Los Angeles suburb, and got the contract. He hustled around and got hold of rides and lum-ber for concessions. The Lions Club, sponsors of the event, had set $1,500 as a goal. Its take was $7,023.

Sella Paper, Joins Or Seeing the possibilities of the com-

munity fair carnival, Wood placed other bids. To bolster his pitch, he asked William Overly, Lions' Club official and publisher of The West-chester Airport Tribune, to accom-pany him to the committee meeting. Overly was to explain the success at his organization's function. Wood got the community fair and later hired Overly. Overly sold his news-paper and is today the show's general agent. With the show organization set-up,

the committees are sold the show to operate. The carnival handles no money. Members of the sponsoring group take over all of the operation, serving u front gate ticket sellers and concession agents. An account-ing is made nightly with the respec-tive parties knowing where they stand.

Work Closely With Sponeors After a committee has been signed,

Overly, Claude E. Morris, who re-cently joined the show after years with motion picture producers, and William Ellis, who handles the ad-vance and Harvey Walters, who is in charge of publicity, confer with the committee once a week for three months before the date. They outline promotions, help in staging the beauty queen contest and instruct members in concession operation. When the show moves in, it is up to the committee to get in there and pitch. The community fair show has

grown in prestige, too. A deal has been set with Capitol Records for the appearance of Pinto Colvig, who is Bozo, the Clown on kidisks, each Sat-urday afternoon.

Set for Filming Wood has signed with a major pic-

ture company to use his equipment as background. The film shooting is set for July. During this stand, spe-cial fronts will be constructed for the picture. However, they are being made with the idea of using them in the future on community fair dates. Personnel includes, in addition to

those already named: Ruby Wood secretary; Ova Thornton, treasurer Frank Chicarelli, boss canvasman Bill Randall, ride superintendent

Traffic Mulled At Syracuse Event; Dept. Heads Named SYRACUSE, July 1. — With the

appointment of Harold Creel as di-rector of New York State Fair, to be held here September 2-9, plane for the annual have moved into high gear. Creel said that every effort will be made to expand agricultural exhibits, perfect entertainment features and improve traffic movement at the fair. Among special events listed are

NEW LONDON, Conn., July 1.— Leslie Morson, beach activities direc-tor at city - owned - and- operated Ocean Beach Park here, told last week's meeting or the local Lions Club: "I can't understand why New Londoners disregard Ocean Beach." He said that he had visited beaches

along the east and west coasts and found none with facilities surpassing those of the New London park. He disclosed that he is attempting to work out an evening entertainment program so that local residents will have additional reason to patronize the beach.

Kelly & Morris Racks Up $$ With Old-Time Show Formula; Year of Big Expansion for Org

By Tom Pmkinson

OSHKOSH, Wis., July 1.—Kelly & Morris Circus troupers now get only mildly excited when they must give three shows to handle crowds. For an outfit that gave four performances in one day at South Milwaukee and three shows a day at four other stands within a week, even top business gets to be an old story. This is the year of the big expansion for Kelly & Morris. A new big top, a 90 with two 40s, was purchased from United Staten Tent & Awning Company, Chicago. Some new sidewall has arrived and more is on the way. A new electric organ and a three-man band are to be added, replacing records. The show is look-ing for a second elephant. Last year there were no horses. Today there are 16. For the owners, Pat Kelly and Bill

Morris, the show is a high point in careers marked by wide circus ex-perience.

Old Hand. on Used Simplicity of the layout, intimate

presentation of acts and a combina-tion of old circus hands with crews of town kids who help with the ponies give the Kelly & Morris org an old-time mud show atmosphere that is paying off. A "horse fair" spec starts the snow,

with all stock and people taking part. Willie Epps and Lester Poets, grad-uates of the Schultz circus school, come in as clowns for the second display. Pat Kelly, who has spent over 50

years in the biz, gives a pony drill. Frank LaTour and Ted Hodgini join Epps and Poets in a four-clown num-ber. Ladders are next, with .To Ber-nie (Morris) and Mrs. Hodgini tak-ing part. Kelly is back next with Rex, the diving dog. Miss Bernice (Mrs. Morris) handles a wire turn nicely.

Two Liberty Arts Texas Tommy appears for roping

spinning and concert announcement and has a pack of trained timber wolves for the concert. Jimmy Dunn works a six-up Palomino Liberty act in the next spot. This act came from Doc Mathes's circus farm at Havana. Ill., winter quarters of the Kelly & Morris show. Out of the program recently was another Liberty act, nor-mally worked by Roy Howser, a vet-eran of Sparks and other shows. LaTour 1111s with a clown juggling

number and is followed by Pat Kelly's dog and pony number. Pat said, "Old-timers on the Forepaugh-Sells show used to say that when a trouper gets old he must either turn to clowning or dogs and ponies. So Pm working this act." Next is the Moreen Troupe (Mrs.

Morris, Jo Bernie Morris, Poets, Epps and Johnny Kerns). Kerns also clowns but was out of the perform-ance here. Co-Owner Bill Morris formerly worked with this troupe and had it on Cole Bros., Robbins Bros., Lewis Bros. and Hamid-Mor-ton shows as a teeterboard unit. On this show it's doing a Roman ladder turn in addition to teeterboard.

Ball To Plus GOP The baby bull has the next posi-

tion and is worked thru a standard routine by Jo Bernie. The bull, Jewel, is booked into most county fairs in Minnesota, starting late this month and continuing to September, as a part of the Republican Party's campaign there. The new elephant will stay with the circus. In the wind-up spot Is Ted Hod-

gini's Funny Ford, which went over well here. Such turns as the Liberty act gives the show an occasional spark of big-show proportions. The family aspect looms large here.

Kelly is Morris's father-in-law. Mrs. Morris and the Morris's daughter, Jo Bernie, fill important spots In the performance. Mrs. Kelly has the popcorn.

With Many Show. Kelly got his start in Petersburg,

/ll., an early-day Peru, and about 53 years ago joined Ed Shipp's indoor org as an acrobat. Stints with Fore-paugh, Sells & Gray, and both the

RB Kids Show Pop, Mom How To Do It School Circus Big

SARASOTA. Fla., July I.—Pupil of Sarasota High School, many o whom are children of personnel with with major circuses, acquitted them-selves with distinction in the school's recent first annual two-day circus according to Ivan L. Reese, of the school's journalism and publicity de partments.

Among circus children featured in the show were Marcelo Truzzi, son or Maestri:itliano Truss', Juggler; Eastird Franklin, of the Franklin family, equilibrista; Peppi, Nita, Charlie and Americo Boma, tumbling and acrobatics, children of Charlie Borza, of Charlie and Adrienne. R-B trampoline performers; Billy Meyer, son of Capt. William Meyer, owner of Starless Night, who put the (amens horse thru its paces; Custis Genders, trampoline and high bar, son of Toughie Genders, former Big Show trapeze artist and now a show official; Jules and Billy Catarzi, trampoline, of the Catarzi-Zacchini-Repensky family, and the Cristiani children in acrobatic routines.

Wallace and Hagenbeck shows fol-lowed. Pat was with Yankee Robin-son the year it switched from wagons to rails in mid-season. In 1915 he left ilingling to start his own Kelly Bros.' Circus, a two-car outfit which soon folded. When the new Kelly & Morris big top arrived, Kelly mused that the last time he had bought a top was 35 years ago—for Kelly Bros. He also worked with Atterbury Bros. and the Singer show.

Kelly & Morris first came out in 1944. It was off the road for the next three seasons, returning in 1948 and continuing since. They side-walled it the first years and family members gave the whole show. Jack Hagen is general agent and

books stands under luncheon club and police auspices. The big South Milwaukee date was a police stand.

Phone Promotion Used The circus relies almost entirely

on phone promotion, with two men handling the calls and another crew to join soon. No paper is used. That the promotion had brought results was shown at Waukesha by the full top plus a block-long line in the aft-ernoon, altho the lot was hidden in a deep ravine behind a school and on a minor street. Concessions are show-owned and

they worked whips, popcorn, floss and candy pitch here. Admission is 50 cents and $1. Reserves go for 35 cents. The top holds 1,600 persons at the most. Rolling stock consists of 10 trucks, some of them as well as other paraphernalia coming from the 1949 Robbins Broa.' equipment at Danville, Ill. Laid out, Kelly & Morris Circus

includes only the popcorn top and marquee in addition to the big top. Morris reported he bas equipment for a Side Show but is holding it back until he gets the line-up of at-tractions he needs for a show at-tended primarily by children.

Fun Zone Area Set For London Cele

L OND ON, July 1. - Plans for the amuse ment zone for the 1951 Festival of Britain, to be held here next su m-

mer, have been tentatively co mpleted and preli minary work on laying out the grounds and gardens is well under way.

The Festival Pleasure Gardens,

which are so me distance fro m the main ex hibit area of the Festival of Britain, cover 37 acres in Battersea Park, with • frontage of 1,500 feet

along the banks of the River Tha mes.

W hile this area will be devoted to recreation in various for ms, only six to seven acres will be allotted for amuse ment devices. Tentative plans

call for a large scenic rail way, a big gravity coaster ride, miniature rail-way. Funhouse, a nu mber of flat rides and a kiddie park. A lake for boat-

ing and space for open-air dancing will also be included.

The re maining 30 acres of the Pleasure Gardens will be laid out with artificial lakes, gardens, drivel and pro menades. Nu merous theaters, open-air stages and band shells will

serve for the presentation of all types of sho ws and attractions and restau-rants, refresh ment stands, tea rooms and beer gardens will be scattered thruout the grounds. Illu minations will be on an elabo-

rate scale and displays of fireworks will be nightly features. Concert bands and dance co mbos will provide music at indoor and outdoor spots in the gardens and moppets will be en-tertained with puppet and magie sho ws. W hile most of the financing for the

Pleasure Gardens is being advanced by the govern ment, the actual build-ing and operation of the fun zone

is being handled by a group of ex-perienced sho w men, including top of-ficials of the leading sho w men's or-

ganizations of England.

During a recent performance of the Cole & Walters Circus. Phyllis Lee Newman flew off her ladder, landing in the lap of a surprised spectator who sustained a stiff neck and had his glasses broken in the mis-hap. He remained on for the rest of the show however and when Miss Newman came out to do her number, the patron blurted: Oh! My God, not amine", and moved up five rows of stands to let someone else be the target.

Beatty Loses Three Stands In RR Strike More Losses Expected

SPOKANE, July 1.—Clyde Beatty Circus took another blow from rail-road strikes this week when the AFL switchmen's walkout caused loss of three Washington stands. Beatty blew Mount Vernon Mon-

day (26) and moved into Bellingham for a three-quarter matinee and full night show on Tuesday (27). The show moved to Everett for Wednes-day, then skipped Wenatchee and Ephrata. The circus moved In here yesterday a day ahead of its paper. The revised Spokane dates are Fri-day (30) thru Sunday (2). The show expects to wild-cat from

here to Helena, Mont., where it prob-ably will arrive a day early, making that stop for two days. It is likely that Beatty will lose four stands be-tween Spokane and Helena.

" Changes Forced Changes in route were forced when

the Great Northern Railroad was hit by the strike. Moves were via North-ern Pacific. An offer by Great North-ern to move the show eastward over the line without stops was turned down in favor of making as many towns on the route as possible. Rail show owners and agents are

watching strike developments closely, particularly the possibility of the strike spreading to additional lines on or after July 15. Unofficial ob-servations are that new strikes are unlikely in view of international de-velopments. Beatty has been hit hard by rail-

road strikes in recent years. The Missouri Pacific walkout last year caused route changes and the loss of one day. Earlier strikes forced, over-land moves and loss of stands.

Sunned Out! LAS VEGAS, Nev., July 1 —

Polack Bros.' Western Unit blew two matinees to Old Sol during its engagement here at the Elks' Stadium, June 28-July I. On Fri-day temperature hit 114 de-grees and Saturday 117, and as a result both matinees were can-celed. The Las Vegas Daily Sun com-

mented that tho rain checks are common this was the first Wise that a circus ever had to give out heat checks. Night biz here was good,

3,500 attending Thursday, 5,000 Friday. A big crowd was on hand tonight.

Rain Idles Spud Farmers; Dailey Gets Better Biz FREDERICKTON N. B., July 1.—

Dailey Bros.' Circus got out of the mud here Wednesday (28) and drew a two-thirds matinee and three-quarters night house. Business at the two previous rain-soaked towns was good. At Edmunston, N. B.' (26) rain

hindered, but the night show was near capacity. Matinee was about one-third tilled. At Woodstock, N. B., (27) the show was drenched in an all-day downpour which kept far-mers out of the potato fields. The matinee was a full one and the night show was a two-thirds house despite near-freezing temperatures. The show cleared the Woodstock

lot at 4 a.m., and the Frederickton matinee was delayed until 4:30 p.m. Hugo Zacchini's human cannonball

act was attracting much attention in this area. Jinx Adams's 16-horse Roman standing race also clicked.

Joe Louis Leaves Dailey Org •

Bomber Declines To Take Pay Cut

• •

Contract ended by mutual agreement at Quebec stand —show offered longer stay

• EDMUNDSTON, N. B., July 1.—

Joe Louis left Dailey Bros.' Circus at St. Hyacinthe, Que., last Friday (23). The parting was described as "mutual termination" of the contract with Ben Davenport and Harry Ham-mitt circus owners. Show management offered to con-

tinue with Louis, retired heavy-weight champion of the world, if the $1,000 per day price were cut. How-ever. Louis declined to go on for less. The show drew a half matinee and

near capacity night house here Mon-day (26). Absence of Louis report-edly did not affect patronage. Lib-erty acts have been returned to the program. Louis joined the circus May 24 at

Kitchener Ont., and was the top feature, appearing in the spec and as referee of a concert wrestling bout. (See BROWN BOMBER, page 80)

Cole Bros.' Brooklyn Bow Light; Hopalong May Exit July 22

(Continued from cane 49) at Ebbets Field. In addition prices have been cut 50 cents, so that the Brooklyn top is $2.50 as against the $9 top for Yankee Stadium. With the huge seating capacity available in the major league parks, a lower price policy seems a wise move. Unconfirmed report is that the

show's star, Bill (Hopalong Cassidy) Boyd. will quit the road July 22 after a couple of weeks under canvas. Boyd, a third owner of circus, re-portedly has done okay financially to date and enjoyed his experience. While it is apparent that a big per-centage of Cole's patronage is at-tracted principally by Boyd, the crowds can not be said to be indica-tive of the popularity attributed to the moppet's TV-flicker hero.

Beach Competition Good weather Is in prospect for

the remainder of the date at Ebbets Field. However, if the sun continues to shine, it may do more harm than good, since Brooklynites traditionally about-face and head for their be-

loved shore spots, principally Coney Island, at 10 cents a head. The urge to get to the beach this season is per-haps greater than ever since only one week-end to date has been conducive to sunning and bathing. Light crowds in the Bronx and

Brooklyn are the result of meager selling. The show and its star are just not being talked about, and it is apparent that too few moppets are putting the pressure on their parents to see Hopalong. Show under the Wirtz-Norris

regime makes its first appearance under canvas Wednesday (5) at Jer-sey City, N. J. Other dates carded include Newark, N. J., July 10-11, and Wilmington, Del, Each town is in healthy condition, according to the experiences of other &howls's segs which have play ed them this season. Betty and Benny Fox, sky dancers,

were out of the Brooklyn line-up. The Wallendas, who provide three of

of an estimated 3,000 persons Thurs-day (29) marked the first of four days here for Ringling Bros. and Bar-num & Bailey under police auspices. The capacity-plus biz came at night. A three-quarter house was on hand for the matinee. Record business was forecast for

the stand which closes Sunday (2). Prices range from a $3.50 maximum and General Agent Waldo Tupper said advance sales have been ex-cellent. The first matinee here started a

few minutes late. Night show, de-spite the throngs, started on time and the Side Show got heavy play from the overflow. This is the first time since 1939 that circus canvas has been spread in MontreaL Ring-ling-Barnum, on its first Canadian loop in 11 years, will play three Ontario stands before returning to the States at Detroit.

New England Fair Before crossing the border, Ring.

ling drew two three-quarter houses at Berlin, N. H., Tuesday (27). Rain began during the matinee and con-tinued thru the evening. The lot was about two miles from the city and special busses were skedded for patrons. At Lewiston, Me., the day before

(26), the show had a half-house at the matinee and a two-thirds house at night. The show built a $600 road to the new lot two days ahead of its arrival. Matthew Breen and Ed-ward Maxfield were hospitalized there. Breen was injihred when caught between two wagons on the flats. Bangor, Me., on Saturday (24) gave

two three-quarter houses, with rain slowing business at the night per-formance. Billing for the Chicago stand was

slcedded to go into high gear with arrival of the advance car today. Some six-sheets already have been posted. Babe Boudinot has been in Chicago for several days and Bill Lester arrived Thursday (29). Frank Braden is expected in Chi tomor-row (2). Addition of five cars to the Ring-

ling-Barnum train is being consid-ered, but no decision is expected un-til next week. The cars, including four flats, would be used to carry movie equipment for Cecil B. De-Mille's crews and would increase the train to 85 cars.

Biller Org Bucks Local Features GLOUCESTER, Mass., July 1.—

Biller Bros.' Circus drew better than a half house for the matinee here Mon-day (26). The night show attracted 50 per cent of capacity despite thick fog. At Lebanon N. H., Saturday (24)

the show drew two three-quarter houses in hot weather. But at St. Johnsbury, Vt.. (23) Biller came in third in a race for patrons. The annual Kiwanis Club carnival had its biggest crowd and the New Eng-land baseball team fell just short of a new attendance record the same day.

King Bros. • The Peace River section of the Northwest, where we have been trouping the past week, is one of the farthest points north in Canada ever invaded by a circus. There are many old persons who have never seen an elephant, much less a giraffe and other wild animals found in our menagerie. Frequently when we ar-rive we find campers on the lot who have traveled as far as 100 and 150 miles to visit this show. Some in-deed make It a festive holiday, ar-riving in the forenoon and attending both performances. Dee Aldrich, Side Show manager,

had one of his best days at Peace River—Indeed a turnaway, so great was the crowd at the first opening. The kid top was filled and ticket sellers rested until there was space for more customers. On the way to this northern outpost and district where the show is playing 10 days, we passed the advance cars and the billing crew in charge of J. C. Rosen-helm. Jake managed one of the Side Shows for several years. Pete Sadowiski, boss mechanic, and

his chief assistant, M. J. McIntyre, are doing a grand job in getting the show over the road. The jumps are long, frequently 100 miles and sometimes 150 miles mid-week, but we are gen-erally on time. Speaking of roads, there are very few stretches of black top to the provinces of Western Can-ada. Mostly we traverse graveled highways which is plenty tough on equipment. Belmonte Cristiani and family are

vacationing in Edmonton, Alta. He is going thru a clinic there. Others spending several days in Edmonton are Mrs. A. Lee Hinckley and Mrs. Joe Colby and children. F. C. Wingfield, in charge of the

provincial tax department in Alberta, and .1. Androchowicz, of the Sas-katchewan department of traveling shows, spent a fortnight on the show recently. Anyone who has a fishing line is busy, as this part of Canada is a fishermen's paradise. When the show Sundayed in Calgary many visited near-by Banff and Lake Louise —MICKEY LYONS.

Gotham Area Funspots Get Jackpot Week-End Grosses,' Money Continues Plentiful Saturday Showers Hinder, But Fail To Nix Big Biz

NEW YORK, Jamb. 1.—Park op-erators in the metropolitan area were unanimous in reporting good business over last week-end, despite some rain Saturday (21) which cut takes slightly. At Palisades (N. J.) Park, Co-

Owner Irving Rosenthal said that Sunday (25) was the beet day the park had enjoyed this year. Swim pool, a prime attraction at Palisades, drew well before showers arrived Saturday night. Rosenthal said that spending continues above last year's level. He announced that the annual Po-

lice Anchor Club outing from New York would be held at Palisades this year, which means a throng et 9,000 orphans and 20,000 policemen and their families will be at the funspot July 24. In addition, Rosenthal said plans called for appearance by Mayor O'Dwyer and Police Commissioner Edward Wallender, of New York, at the outing. Rosenthal said the blow-out would be the big one of the year for Palisades.

Tax Stunt Draws Crowds, Photogs For Ideal Beach MONTICEI.1.0, Ind., July I. —

Ideal Beach resort here is nabbing national publicity and some hefty midway crowds with plugs about a local veteran who has moved into a submerged tank in the lake "until something is done about excise taxes." Stunt began Sunday (18) and a

big crowd was on hand, drawn par-tially by the influx of newsreel cam eramen and press service crews. Crowds held up during the week and a second major turnout was on hand the second Sunday (25). Inside the underwater penthouse is

Paul Abbott, 27, who worked out the deal with park owner, T. E. Speck-man, and several concessionaires at the spot. Handling publicity is John Thorns, Chicago. Abbott is quoted on the tax situa-

tion and expaine he couldn't keep his head above water because of gov-ernment levies. He is inside a steel and glass tank, rigged so park visitors may see him. Park distributes post cards with

Abbott's photo and statement about his plan, and people are asked to send the cards to congressmen.

Three-Cent Days At Pine Island MANCHESTER, N. H., July 1. —

Pine Island fun zone here recently announced inauguration of kiddie days, which will continue each Wednesday during the season. Special ride rate on kiddie days

will be 3 cents. Barney Williams, park manager,

said the first plan called for using the low rate only between 1 and 6 p.m., but that the final set-up extends the kiddie day curfew to 11 p.m.

In return, purchasers of the firm's soap products get • ticket which, with wrapper from the product and 15 cents, entitles them to free ad-minion and five rides at the park on Mondays. Deal with the ice cream concern

is similar, with the ticket in this case entitling purchaser to free ad-mission and a dollar's worth of rides at the park for 70 cents on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. Rosenthal said that stores carrying P & G products are readying 35,000 streamers plug-ging the tie-up thruout the metro-politan area. Three million tickets are being printed for the soap tie-In and a million for the ice cream deal. Free attractions In for the week at

Palisades, booked by the Hamid agency, New York, were Francine Rolante, trapeze, and Tommy Ryan's ork.

35,000 at Rye Playland, Rye, N. Y., received a

land has had good results using native talent, MacNicol said. Free attraction this week was the Westchester Man-dolin Group. Fireworks are featured every Tuesday and Friday. At Olympic (N. J.) Park, treasurer

ity for an afternoon show offering Torn Moorehead, sports commentator; disk jockey LeRoy Miller; The Magic Lady, kiddies' show, and Pancake Pete Newman, Western entertainer.

Buckeye Lake Whets Knife For Slice of Winter Trade

BUCKEYE LAKE, 0., July 1.—Car- mile radius of the park contribute lin Park Interests of Baltimore, own-ers of Buckeye Lake Park here under the direction of A. M. Brown, general manager, are putting increased em-phasis on winter operation of attrac-tions at this resort. Already offering roller skating on •

year-round basis, the park this year has added a luxurious Park Terrace dine-dance spot for winter-summer operation with name bands and has installed eight bowling alleys, with four more to be put in as soon as they are available, according to Brown. Altho attendance arid business for

the park has been off to date in com-parison with last year, because of the weather, Brown is highly optimistic over prospects for the season. As might be expected, under-cover at-tractions have drawn proportionately better business than features that lose play immediately when rain begins falling. Per capita spending has been good, said Brown, and the general economic outlook for the park's draw-ing area is excellent He also re-ported this year's picnic bookings of record proportions. Buckeye Lake Park's biggest hunk

of business comes from near-by Co-lumbus, altho smaller towns Ina 50-

substantially to grosses. The park draws west to Springfield and east to the Pennsylvania border. One of the park's important sources of income is the resort trade. Some 5,000 rental cottages are spotted around the shores of Buckeye Lake, and these house substantial numbers of vacationists with money to spend at the park. Under present policies Brown of-

fers name bands for Saturday night dancing, free acts each week and fire-works displays in connection with major picnics. Increasing popularity of hillbilly entertainment has caught his attention. Friday (30) night Brown kicked off a rural entertain-ment policy. Each week on that night there will be a two-hour show fol-lowed by two hours of square dancing. The park line-up includes Bubble

Bounce, Rolloplane, Punhouse, Ferris Wheel, Pretzel, Rocket Cars, two Ar-cades, Cuddle Up, Mirror Maze, pony track, Kiddie Autos, Kiddieland in which four rides have been added this year; Greyhound, three dance halls, skating rink, Whip, Merry-Go-Round, swim pool. Motordrome, row-boats and speedboats, restaurants and numerous food, refreshment, game, service and miscellaneous concessions.

Indian Point Tabs 15,000 On One Day

Balmy Weather Aids

CRUGERS, N. Y., July 1.—With weather lending an assist last week-end, Ed Kelmans, manager of Indian Point Park here, reported excellent takes for the funspot, with a Sunday (25) crowd of 15,000 pushing ac-commodations of the park. Altho rain Saturday (24) held at-

tendance down, those that showed up spent well, Kelmana said. Kelmans was happy over turnaway

auto traffic at the park, which can handle 1,000 cars, since each vehicle usually represents several customers. Special busses run to the spot from near-by Peekskill numbered 50.

Big Brewing Area Kelmans said the funspot is draw-

ing patrons from such divergent points 83 Poughkeepsie in the north and New York City to the south in addition to local patronage. The park now has one line running boats from New York. A second line will soon announce a daily schedule to Indian Point. Kelmans has sought New York

trade thru newspaper advertisements and a billboard spotted on Broadway. Despite prevailing bad weather, Kel-nuns said his financial position was good since inaugurating Indian Point's first season as a full-fledged park in May. Plans call for amateur night every

Friday evening at the park, with the eventual winner, to be determined thru season-long eliminations, play-ing • two-week stand at Indian Point. Kelmans said he hoped to induce local merchants to supply awards for the weekly feature, but if that was not possible the park would furnish them.

Rock's Playland Corrals Record Sunday Grosses NEW YORK, July I.—With rain

canceling the possibility of high takes Saturday (24), Rockaways' Playland rebounded Sunday (25) to score its best gross in several years, according to President A. Joseph Geist, with ex-cellent weather a big factor Sunday. Geist said that a poll of about 2,000

patrons revealed a 400 per cent in-crease in auto traffic at the Sunspot. The figure is partly due to loss by are this spring of a railroad line which carried many customers. Be-cause of the increase in cars, Geist said the city will expand parking fa-cilities to accommodate an extra 1,700 cars. Tab for parking is a quarter. Geist said that the daily schedule

of boats recently inaugurated by the Wilson Dayline between Elizabeth, N. J., and Rockaways is paying off in • considerable number of patrons. The recently completed Brooklyn-Battery tunnel under New York's East River has also drawn throngs to the park from Brooklyn and fur-ther north in Westchester County and Yonkers, he said.

the Howdy Doody show is reciprocal, with the park pushing Clarabell's presence at the funspot in its adver-tising and the clown character plug-ging the park on the video stanza. Continuing patron survey being

conducted by Playland's management shows that the majority of park cus-tomers learned of the park thru news-paper ads, with radio time and sub-way cards about tied and bus cards, general outdoor, Long Island Rail-road cards, air-tow advertising and plugs on the Howdy Doody show at-tracting attention to the park in that order. Newspaper ads caught the in-terest of more than twice the number of patrons as the next most important form of advertising, according to sur-vey statistics. In connection with the lack of a

direct train route to Roekaways be-cause of a fire early this year which destroyed the trestle leading to the funspot, the municipal Board of Transportation recommended that the city acquire and link the Rockaway Beach line of Long Island Railroad to the city-operated subway at a cost of $80,000,000

is being argued in Federal Court here. The court must decide whether Interstate Commerce Commission or the local Public Service Commission has jurisdiction in the case. If the city should acquire the line it would provide Manhattan and Brooklyn res-idents with a direct route to Rock-

A. C. Execs Study New Regulations for Chairmen, Venders ATLANTIC CITY, July 1. — Local

ordinances regulating the operation of rolling chairs on the Boardwalk here and sales by beach venders were introduced at a meeting of the city commission this week Rolling chair ordinances require

uniform dress for operators of me-chanical and manual chairs in an effort to raise the tone of the Board-walk. The second ordinance, licens-ing war veterana selling ice creo-'i on the beach, was drafted as a result of a bill passed by the State Legis-lature enabling resorts to regulate or prohibit the sale of refreshments on public beaches.

Okay Yet Peddlers In past years local authorities were

unable to control ice cream sales, since the park easement deed pro-hibits sales of any kind on the beach. However, a peddler's license issued by the county clerk to war veterans permitted them to make such sales. itho the city officially took no part

in regulating beach sales, efforts were made during the past two years to clear all venders thru the Allied Veterans' Cou-cil of Atlantic County. Last summer the situation was out of hand, with the number of venders exceeding 250. Under the proposed ordinance,

franchises would be limited to vet-erans, with applicants expected to be city residents for either six months or a year. Ordinance would fix the license fee, require venders to be photographed and fingerprinted and make them place the price of ice cream products on the box carried.

Old Orchard Bids For Canadian $$

OLD ORCHARD BEACH. Me., July 1.—With a campaign built around the slogan, "Playground of Two Na-tions," local ops are making their biggest bid in years for Canadian business. Long a mecca for Cana-dians, who have been coming here each year with increasing regularity, this beach resort is pitching hard for Canadian money. The campaign. which is sparked by the Chamber of Commerce and backed by ride ops, concessionaires and hotel owners, is expected to pull the biggest number of vacationists in resort's history. In expectation of big biz, hotels

are booking New York ads. Ride ops have increased their stands and equipment Spot has added ad-vantages of a race track six miles away and a new highway from Bos-ton soon to be opened.

Fairground. Inviting Physically, the fairgrounds pre-

sents a far more inviting appearance than the last two years. Facilities, too, have been improved consider-ably. Many large, reasonably priced restaurants are in operation, there are fewer open spots Minima the grounds, and the landscaping is more appealing. Biggest improvement is the layout

at the north end. There, sandwiched in between the Cyress Garden Water Show and the' ice show, both repeat-ers from the '49 Railroad Fair, are a Big Top Circus, special events stage, with many benches, and a large res-taurant, plus other food concessions. Result is that there is a heavier flow of traffic to the north end, and when the crowd is turned out from one show it spills over to another. Of the three shows at the north

end, the leer, owned and operated by Voorhees - Fleckles Fair Booking Agency, this city, was reported the biggest grosser for the first five days. There was some skepticism before the fair opened that the jeer would prove a money-winner because it carries an admission charge, whereas last year it was a free show sponsored by rail-road exhibitors.

Water Show Pull. The Water Show again appears on

its way to be a money-winner. The Big Top Circus, a fair-owned and operated show, also looms as a win-ner. Presented in the open, with a ring and a stage, the circus offers talent booked thru Barnes-Carruth-ers Theatrical Enterprises, Chicago. It, along with the ices' and Water Show, is well worth the general ad-mission price of 60 cents. Surprisingly, a relative small num-

ber of cut-rate tickets, sold in the combination pre-opening sale, turned

Little Balld-Up Newspaper critics, who bent over

backward to say kind things about it, largely because it is a fair attraction and their papers are with and for the fair, didn't give Music in the Round much of a build-up.

Publicity Chiefs Confer on Plans For Atom Exhib OAK RIDGE, Tenn., July 1.—

Publicity chiefs and other execs of three major lairs conferred here re-cently with David DeJarnette. curator of the American Museum of Atomic Energy, preliminary to setting up the advance campaign for their respec-tive fairs on the atomic e: hibit to be supplied thru the museum. Annuals represented were State

Fair of Texas, Dallas; Indiana State Fair, Indianapolis, and Mid-South Fair, Memphis. Memphis representa-tion included a Memphis :crmmercial Appeal staffer, who gathered ma-terial to break in that sheet prior to the fair's opening. The Indiana-polis delegation included reps from two Hoosier universities. The get-together was held to work

out final details of transporting and setting up the exhibit at the three fairs and to build the most effective publicity campaign, with the latter aimed to adhere closely to the mu-seum's policy. Charles Yeager, public relations

director at Dallas, represented that annual, which this year will have an atomic exhibit for the second time. Roger G. Wolcott, director of ad-vertising and publicity for the Indiana State Fair, headed that annual's dele-gation, which also included Albert W. Bloemker, Thomas Foley, public ity chief, and Dan K. Crittenden, director of commercial and industrial exhibits, were the Memphis repre-sentatives. Present plans call for the museum's

exhibit to be at only the three fairs represented here. Cost of transport-ing the exhibit and of the museum staffer, who will accompany the ex-hibit, are to be borne by the three fairs.

Special day promotion also covers organizations, colleges and other groups.

Ottawa Plans Include New Unit Facilities Record Event Predicted

OTTAWA. July I.—With the ex-pectation that the 1950 Central Canada Exhibition will be of record.. breaking proportions, the board of directors have recently approved sev-eral major improvements to the plant, H. H. McElroy, general manager, an-nounces. An artificial ice plant is slated for

the Horticultural Building. This will make it possible to stage indoor curl-ing, including tournaments, during the winter months. The work is scheduled for completion within two months. The directors' quarters, which are

used as an assembly hall for banquets, buffets, dances, etc., has proven so popular locally that the directors have approved a $20,000 renovation program. Work has already started on this project.

450C Project Near End Nearing completion is the $450,000

wing to the Coliseum. The new edifice will feature modern, removable horse stalls and provide every possible com-fort for exhibitors and their stock. A special ventilating system i in-cluded in the plans. The new wing is expected to re-

lieve the congestion of the hitching ring which will be considerably en-larged, and will effect the speeding up of the show which is run on • strict schedule. McElroy said. Last week a drinking fountain was

dedicated on the grounds to the late Hon. Thomas Ahearn. PC., a recipient of the CCEA Gold Medal in recogni-tion of his work in the field of electric lighting and transportation. CCEA execs attending the ceremony in-cluded McElroy, Mayor E. A. Borque, vice-president, and Dr. W. A. Arm-strong, president.

BOSTON, July 1.—Upholding a $6,560 tax rebate granted Eastern States Exposition Corporation, Massa-chusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled here Thursday, June 29, that the playing of hockey games in the Coliseum at West Springfield, which houses the exposition, is an aid to agriculture. Rebate was granted the exposition

by the State Appellate Tax Board. The court. in rendering the decision, declared that whatever aids agricul-ture helps to advance the health and prosperity of the commonwealth. West Springfield assessors levied

the tax against the Coliseum in 1948 on the grounds that the building was leased for ice hockey games between April and October and was not used for agricultural purposes. Assessors contended that hockey was not in keeping with principal activities of the agricultural society.

Payment With Interest Exposition corporation paid the tax

In September, 1948, but won an order for a rebate from the Appellate Tax Board. The town assessors appealed this finding to the Supreme Court. The court ordered the West Spring-field assessors to repay the exposition the amount of the tax plus 4 per cent interest and court costs. Total sum was estimated at $10.000. The Coliseum. the court noted, had

been leased for hockey games by the Springfield Hockey Associates since 1925 at an annual tee of $15,000. The exposition, in opposing the tax, said that it is an incorporated agricultural society and thus exempt from taxa-tion under State law. The decision, written by Judge

Raymond S. Wilkins, said the ex-position had a right to lease the

Coliseum during part of the year when it is not needed for fairs in order to provide revenue for pur-poses of the society. He also noted that exemption from taxation of in-corporated agricultural societies has been in force in the State for nearly 100 years. "The encouragement to agriculture

would be slight indeed," the court's decision said, "if the tax exemption so broadly expressed be held condi-tional upon such property remaining idle or unprofitable at all times when not needed for direct agricultural pursuits."

Wapakoneta Reports Its Program for 1950 WAPAKONETA, 0., July 1. — The

CAA Issues Pamphlet Giving Info on How To Stage "Air Fair" WASHINGTON, July 1. — Civil

Aeronautics Administration (CAA) this week issued a special pamphlet on planning and operating air fairs. CAA announced that those wishing to sponsor such fairs may obtain further assistance from any of the agency regional offices. The pamphlet, The Air Fair, points

out that crowds of 200,000 attended air fairs in Los Angeles and Oak-land last year, while one in St. Louis drew 125,000. At the other end of the scale, Medford, Ore., with a popula-tion of 11,000, drew an audience at 15,000. CAA advises that air fairs be spon-

sored by local Chambers of Corn-merce or similar organizations. The aid of the department of aeronautics of the particular State should also be, enlisted, according to agency.

CAA states in the pamphlet that comedy acts, both on the ground and in the air, can be used to great ad-vantage as a part of the show. ALI° advocated by the agency as part of the program are airplane giveaways, dances, model demonstrations, scenic flights, parachute jumps, forced land-ings, dusting and spraying, and heli-copter flights. The pamphlet lists the types of or-

ganizations which might be per-suaded to rent exhibit space at an air fair. Included are airlines, State and federal agencies, pilot associations, air equipment manufacturers, and air travel agencies.

Book Review:

Prize Fair Recipes In New Cook Book

NEW YORK, July 1. — Prize win-ning recipes culled from many of the nation's major annuals were pub-lished in book form under the title The State Fair Blue Ribbon Cook Book here by Frederick Fell., Inc. Authors of the tome, which sells for $2.95, are Lois J. Hurley. who cov-ered the Wisconsin State Fair for 15 years as a newspaper reporter, and Isabelle Groetzinger. Relieving the monotony of the con-

ventional presentation of recipes are chapters on the history of fairs, fair statistics and midways and clever il-lustrations by e. Lawrence Hoffman. Book should be a natural as a prize

in women's divisions and of keen in-terest to the thousands of women who annually compete in culinary arts at the nation's annuals. Fair promotion departments and book stores wher-ever annuals are operated could use the anthology as the basis for a nifty window display that would boost book sales and stimulate fair at-tendance. Listing of "State fairs" is a loose

compilation which contains such glar-ing errors as locating the Piedmont Interstate Fair in Columbia, S. C., in-stead of Spartanburg. S. C., where it is held. Altho the words "State fair" in the book title impose certain con-tent limitations, a more complete list-ing of fairs would better serve its readers. —JIM McHUGH.

with a weekly program of Saturday night stock car races. Big car and midget races may be added.

(Continued from page 65) theatrical groups, and a few units in the so-called midway area. Housed In a small building, the kiddie theater, offering such fare as Tom Samyer, may kick it. Showboat, alternately featuring

old-time melodramas and the Dixie-land music of Mugsy Spanier and his orlo, holds down the commanding spot In the midway area. But thru the first five days the showboat's biz was not heartening. Angelo Valente, who has his collection of Nickelodeons be-hind the same front and in the same spot used last rear by John Court-ney's Law and Outlaw Show, was getting like business.

Midway Weak The midway area is virtually the

same as last year, when it was weak. Actually only difference is in paint ' job, with motif shifted from the Gold Gulch to Dixieland. Repeats in the area include the Funhouse, old-time movies, lead galleries and Penny Ar-cade. Lead galleries and the Penny Arcade are winning money. New ad-ditions to the area are few, limited chiefly to handwriting analysis, MI-houette concession and a cartoon sketching concession. The fair shows its greatest increase

in strength over the Railroad Fair In its commercial exhibits. And, odd-ly, one of the exhibits, the Avenue of Homes—the only one bearing an ad-mission charge — is showing more box-office strength than any paid show on the grounds with the excep-tion only of the pageant. The Avenue of Homes comprises

eight model, modern homes, com-pletely furnished and attractively presented. A 25-cent charge is made, and fair execs reported that thru Wednesday an average of one out of five fairgoers paid to go thru the homes.

Rome Show Off Not Grover McDonald, veteran home

show promoter, handled the feature. and when the fair opened it was off the nut for the eight homes and their furnishings, the cost or donation of materials, furniture, etc., having been promoted from about 20 firms. Con-sequently, the income is all gravy for the fair. The big take from the Avenue of

Homes more than surprised the fair management, which had placed the 25-cent charge as much to control traffic thru the homes as to bring in an income. Outstanding among the other ex-

hibits on the grounds is the Theater of the Atom, sponsored by Westing-house. Also outstanding is the ex-hibit of the American Telegraph & Telephone Company, which features giveaway long - distance telephone calls.

Free Kid Rides One tractor company is wooing

good will by giving kids free rides on tractors. Elsie, the Cow, is in. Ar-mour & Company, shooting for a county fair motif, offers an exhibit featuring a showLig of fine rattle. A bale gun, which shoots bales of hay into a loft, tops the exhibit of a group of utilities. Indications are that the best crowd-

luring exhibit will be the television center which WGN-TV Is skedded to unveil today. TV outlet closed only

low, open trailer-type busses carry-ing patrons the length of the grounds. Back is Deadwood Central, narrow gauge railroad, again proving a big money-getter at 10 cents a ride.

PNE Midway Layout Undergoes Changes VANCOUVER, B. C., July 1.—Mid-

way layout at the Pacific National Exhibition here is being completely changed and decorated for this year's fair, V. Ben Williams, manager, an-nounces. Pylons, concealing search-lights, will mark the entrance, and rides, games and eat spots have been relocated by Gordon Bilker, in charge of the fun zone. Work has started on a new $22,000

washroom to be located on the west side of the livestock barn and the fair board is laying plans for the construction of a British Columbia Building and manufacturers' build-ing for next year. Structures will cost a total of $900,000. Exhibition recently opened a new

nine-hole golf course on the east side of Windemere Street to replace the old course which will be the site of the two skedded buildings.

Grass Valley, Calif., Plans Shift to Sept. Dates in '51 GRASS VALLEY, Calif., July- 1.-

- With the Nevada County Fair set for August 24-27, inclusive, the di-rectors have indicated that they will seek a September date In 1951. Board members argue that the fall date will give the apple and pear growers an oportunity to display' at the peak of their season. Setting of the 1951 dates, however,

depends upon authorization from member, of the Msther Lode area fairs. For the coming event, directors have approved plans for a tree falling and lumber cutting contest as an educational and entertainment fea-ture. Details of the demonstration are to be worked out with the State division of forestry, Tahoe National Forest and other services. A plan to construct a fish pond,

where children under 16 may fish, was approved. Pond will be de-veloped es a part of the civic pro-gram by the local Lions Club.

JJJ Awaits Clear Saturday In Cicero, Ill., After Eight Of Last Nine Are Hit by Rain East Liverpool, O., Stand Endo With Lot in Deep W ater

CICERO, Ill., July 1. —Morris Lipsky and Harold (Buddy) Pad-dock, co- managers of the Johnny J. Jones Exposition, had their fingers crossed for fair weather here today after the org lost eight of its last nine Saturdays to rain. Stand here, just outside the Chi-cago city limits, extends thru Wednesday (5) and is the first of three in the area before the org goes into its first fair, July 30, at Muncie, Ind. Longest jump thus far this season was made in the move here from East Liverpool, O., where org was set up on a banked lot used as an lee-skating rink during the winter. A heavy rain, capped by a cloudburst, washed out the promising Saturday (24) and flooded the lot to a depth of several feet. In tearing down, it was necessary to drop the tops into the water and tow the can-vas to high land with tractors.

Cohn Leaves Crafts To Be Personal Rep With Spade Cooley LOS ANGELES, July 1.—Bobby

Cohn resigned as general agent for Crafts 20 Big Shows and signed a two-year personal representative contract with Spade Cooley. Cohn joined Crafts last January

and was booking the show for com-munity fairs and celebrations. Under Cohn's direction, Cooley

will be offered as a package deal for fairs and celebrations. Cohn's con-tract excludes Cooley's records, tele-vision and Santa Monica ballroom activities. Cohn formerly operated a personal

Am. Midway Re-Inks Brownsville '51 Cele BRO WNSVILLE, Tex.. July 1. —

American Midway Shows will pro-vide the midway attractions for the fifth straight year at the 1951 Charro Days Fiesta here. Contract was signed Tuesday (20).

where org chalked up big biz Satur-day (24) at both afternoon and night shows, after losing Friday night to rain. Ann Paree joined here to replace

Mitzi as featured dancer in the Posing Show. Les and Bernice Pine joined with Bob Parker's derby races and Thomas Gunnelis came on as assistant to Raymond Morris, head billposter.

Wallace Bros. Opens Canadian 'B' Circuit At Lethbridge Fair LETHBRIDGE, Alta., July 1.—

Wallace Bros.' Shows moved into its fair route here Monday (26) at the three-day Lethbridge and Dis-trict Exhibition, the first of 14 Western Canadian 93" circuit an-nuals that will see the org this year. Circuit will take the shows thru August 12 at Prince Albert, Sask. Org moved here from a six-day

stand in Regina under Canadian Legion auspices. Despite threatening weather there and a 10-cent gate in a spot where carnivals had pre-viously operated sans admission, shows garnered steady biz, altho spending was admittedly on a pre-war scale. Alberta Slim's Western shows

topped the Regina grosses, with Jean Branson's 10-in-I a close second. Kid days Wednesday (21) and Saturday (24), with a 5-cent rate, did well. Org was hampered by a Small

lot at Regina and Crime Show, Mouse Show and Fly-o-Plane were left on the train. Banners and tops were reduced to fit the location Winnipeg was the org's best still

date, according to J. P. (Jimmy) Sullivan, owner, altho org lost the opener when a train wreck held up arrival and dropped one other day to rain.

Org was represented by M. G. (Slim) Dennis, while President Paul Spill-man and Lefty Appleton, concessions chairman, signqd for the celebration.

Clear Skies Result In Record Grosses For Coleman Org

PITTSFIELD, M ass., July 1.—Dick Coleman, owner-operator of Cole man Bros.' Shows, is happy with the season's outlook despite the loss o play on the last four Saturdays to rain. Record for the past month sounds

gruesome until Dick relates that the first four Saturdays played this sea-son came thru with grosses actually bigger than record ones of the war years. As a result of his experiences,

Dick is convinced that only good weather is needed for a successful season. While some units have re-ported sparse pickings in New Eng-land, reported on the downgrade eco-nomically, the Coleman org has put together some nifty takes in its usual New England territory. Stand here is very good and due

in part to the good weather pre-vailing. Org next jumps into New York

for dates at Catskill and Hudson be-fore embarking on its early fairs.

RAS Pulls In Off - Weather At Winnipeg Show Ends Still Date Route

WINNIPEG, July 1.—Cold weather and showers failed to deter hardy Winnipeg area residents from turn-ing out for the Royal American Shows the that four days of this week. Turnouts, however, were slightly slimmer than last year and spending was off slightly. Business, however, was rated as more than satisfactory. Weather turned warm and clear

Friday (30) and prospects loomed for a big night patronage. Closing day, today, promised the biggest business of the engagement, this being Dom-inion Day. Previous Saturday (24) yielded excellent biz. Leon Claxton's Harlem in Havana

show is pacing back-end units here. RAS closes its still date route here

tonight, then heads for Brandon, Man., where it opens Monday (3) at the Brandon Exhibition to begin its long fair route.

Ashland to Royal Midwest;

Two Other Ky. Annuals Set

BELLEFONTAINE, 0., July I. — Royal Midwest Shows will provide the midway at the August 21-26 Ashland County Fair, Ashland, Ky., it was announced this week by Bill Harris, Royal Midwest manager. Fair Manager Alvin Rice signed a con-tract Wednesday 7 for the attraction& This year's fair will be held on the

recently completed fairgrounds and will include free acts, drawings, fire-works, and horse and stock shows. Other annuals under contract by Royal Midwest are Campbell County Fair, Alexandria, September 2-4, and Green-Up County Fair, Green-HP, Ky., September 14-16.

Blue Grass Shows Add

Two Fla. Fairs to Route

MARION, Ind., July 1.—Blue Grass Shows signed this week to provide the midway attractions at two Florida fairs. Panama City and Marianna, C. C. (Specs) Groscurth, org's owner, announced here. Org's fair route, which starts at

Newton, Ill., July 9 and extends thru Armistice Day, will include 18 an-nuals, Groscurth said.

Pay-Day Gelt Boosts C&W's Grafton Take Morgantown, W. Va., Fair

GRAFTON, W. Va, July 1.—Cet-lin as Wilson Shows was well-pub-licized in advance by the local press when it pulled in here Sunday after-noon, June 25. A large crowd was on hand to witness unloading op-erations since railroad shows do not often visit this Baltimore & Ohio rail junction. Tuesday, June 27, was pay day for railroad employees, with resulting good business for the org. Grafton Fire Department, sponsor

of the date, staged a parade Monday (26) that included bands from sur-rounding communities, with the mayor and other city officials head-ing it Convertibles carrying mem-bers of Raynell's Girl Show com-pleted the entourage. The parade ended at the showgrounds, with practically all spectators continuing on to the lot and furnishing a good take for the pay gate. Show management effected a tie-

up here with a Resell drugstore for the matinee today, at which two bi-cycles will be given away on the midway. Flash floods that struck in the

State over last week-end did not hit the org, which was playing Morgan-town. Ho wever, heavy rains drenched the show Saturday night, June 24, and business for the date was only fair.

WOM Heads North; Takes Continue OK

Conn. Expo By-Passed

CHICOPEE FALLS, Mass., July 1. —A fair week is in prospect for Frank Bergen's World of Mirth Shows which winds up its stand here tonight. Good weather, with the ex-ception of showers Wednesday (28), considerably aided the gate and in-side take. Lot here had to be extended thru

bulldozer operations. A 10-acre lot across the street was leased by show officials and the free parking offered patrons on the lighted premises cre-ated a good impression and was con-sidered an important biz stimulant Previous week at Schenectady,

N. Y., fair biz was also registered. With the usual route of Maine spots coming up, all of which have been good for the shows for the past dec-ade, feeling is that the org will hit its first fair at Presque Isle. Me., four weeks hence, a strong winner. If so, the outlook for a top season is indeed rosy.

Exits Conn. Expo Org was forced to cancel out a

booking at the Connecticut State Ex-position which preemed last night at Stratford, Conn., when minimum midway space available made it im-possible to set up most of the at-tractions and to still comply with the rigid State fire laws. Fire laws required that all units

be at least 10 feet away from all structures, have 10 feet between each seg and front on 30-foot-wide mid-ways, among other things, show execs said. It is understood that expo officials

were making last minute efforts to fill in with independent rides. WOM officials agreed to send in three ma-jor rides, three kiddie ridés and one show.

Mike Smith's Climb From Fonts To Fronts; Story of Toil, Sweat

(Continued from Page 59) hung around the crew and they often 'referred to him as a "second Mike Sullivan." Smith was born with his right arm

ending halfway below the elbow. People came from the entire area to see the infant and the local doctors were unable to offer any explanation.

Overcome. Handicap Mike Smith, however, has never

asked any favors for the lack of a hand. Ile discovered early In life that to make a go of it he had to make one hand do the work of two. When he started to work at an early age, he was attending school in Worthin, S. D., where the family had moved. His first job was that of a printer's devil and he learned to set type by hand. Later he developed into a top-notch linotype operator and press-man. So proficient was he in handling a print shop he was hired to manage several one-man shops where he was called upon to do all the jobs from the front to the back door. Altho he had held responsible po-

sitions in print shops and had success-fully completed galley for galley with fellow printers on The Beacon in Wichita, Kan., Smith felt that he wanted to work outdoors. About the time he made this decision, Morris at Castle Shows were well Into their 1929 season and playing Eldorado, Kan. After seeing the shows, Mike took a job—with one hand—of driv-ing stakes. He moved from menial labor to the Side Show and later to the pit show. His jobs paid less than he had received setting type, but it was what he wanted. He has never regretted his spur-of-the-moment de-cision.

Rides Out Depression When the crash came just as Morris

ds Castle were closine the season, Smith found himself in South Da-kota and sorely in need of a job. He did not look long for a job, for Ben Hessen engaged him to go ahead of his small animal show. As the show played one-night indoor stands, Smith had his wish for a job thru the winter. But, working with an indoor show

was to Smith almost as working in-doors setting type. It was now spring and things were beginning to open up • little. Gay Thomas was hopscotch-Ing thru North and South Dakota, Wyoming and Nebraska with his il-lusion show and Smith joined the small outfit. In 1931 the country was still pinch-

ing pennies and getting a job was not so easy. However, by this time Smith had managed to hold on to a few pennies himself and he invested them in an athletic show that he booked on the Art B. Thomas Shows. The show was small and could pull Its capacity in a couple of days, making one-day • stands. The policy Thomas began was very successful and one June the show made 29 dates.

Cete Married During hia association with the

Thomas show, Smith met Elfie Stod-dard, who was handling the tickets on the illusions. When Smith needed help, he hired Elf ie's younger sister. Thru them he became acquainted with the entire family and in 1933 be-came a member by marrying Ellie. They have a daughter, Deborrah, now 4 years old. Outside of getting married when

he was on the Art Thomas Show, Smith felt that for the past eight years he had made no progress. To do something about it, he moved into North Dakota. where he joined the Northern Expositions Shows just as it was starting on its 1940 season. With the few dollars that he had ac-cumulated, he put on an animal show, photo gallery and a couple of conces-sions. Things went atom well until the war got into full swing and the shows had the usutl transportation and help troubles.

In 1943 Mike decided that the best thing to do was to give it up—at least until the outlook was brighter. He took the trucks that he had used in transporting his concessions and other equipment and went into the gravel-hauling business. This was a money-making venture but it did not appeal to Mike. Altho he had to at-tend to his gravel business during the day, he drove sometimes 200 miles at night to see a carnival.

Derides on Carnival After a year in the pits, Smith de-

cided that the best place for him was on a carnival lot. Quitting the gravel business, he got together five conces-sions and rejoined Northern Expo-sition Shows. Smith had six girls and himself working the concessions, and the show was moving fast to play three spots a week. The following year, in 1945, things

began to open up and Smith hired men to replace his girls. Northern Exposition had a Merry-Go-Round. Ferris Wheel, Spitfire, Octopus, Tilt-s-Whirl and a kid ride. Again Smith reached down into his jeans and came up with sufficient money to purchase an interest from E. L. (Keck) Pheister, the Exposition's owner. As a partner in the outfit. Smith also bought an-other kid ride.

Buy. Out Partner Early in 1947, because of his wife's

health as well as his own, Pheister decided to retire from show business and raise flax. When his plans were revealed. Smith immediately put in a bid for his partner's interest. Own-ing the shows lock, stock and barrel, Smith went after the Montana B-1 Circuit of the Rocky Mountain fairs and was awarded the contract for that year, the first opening follow-ing the war. With the deal set Smith added four kid rides. Smith will never forget the first

year that he was out on his own. To swing the deal with Pheister, it had taken all of his money and the operation wn, on slim dough. How-ever, it did not worry the new show owner. Savings were made at every possible turn. Mrs. Smith took over the office; Smith's brother, who is a mechanic, pitched In to keep the trucks rolling. Mike went ahead, booking and billposting, jumping back to the lot in Urne to help set up and tear down.

Defies ibex One of the first things that Smith

did when he bought the shows was to change the colors on the trucks Pheister had used red and green, ruling out yellow on the theory that it was bad luck. Smith immediately painted the truck cabs yellow, the fenders black and the boxes orange. He lettered the shows' title across the 23 trucks and semi units in black. So far the yellow has not proved an ill omen. The personnel problem has been

ironed out and there is a great dif-ference between the shows' line-up today and what it was a few years back. Smith sticks pretty close to the shows and booking is left to Gil Tuve, who joined Northern Exposi-tion after 12 years as general agent with the 'Art Thomas Shows, where Smith met him.

Hires Collegge Student.

Out 22 weeks, Norther. Exposition Shows makes it • practice of hiring college students during the summer Last year five stayed the entire sea-son. Another policy, this one rigidly enforced, is that all employees must have sleeping accommodations. They may have trailers or register et a hotel, but there is no sleeping on the

Path° It was not made for the purpose of getting bookings, the anti-lot-sleeping rule paid off nicely a few years ago. Smith was refused, without explanation, a license to play

a town. Feeling that he complied! with all regulations, he went into the matter to learn the reason be-hind the rejection. He learned that the town's council felt that the carni-vals took money out and put none of it into a town. Smith met with the town fathers and explained his operation. He would bring into town about 75 people. They would eat in restaurants, buy from local grocers, patronize the local gasoline, stations and some would occupy hotel I rooms. Smith estimated that each would spend about $5 a day some- . where in the town—making a total . of $375. This multiplied by the number of days the shows would be in town came to a neat sum. The permit was readily issued.

Sense of Hamm Mrs. Smith recalls that a college

boy on the show had not been in this country v.ry long from his nati-e Poland. lie wa.à having a time with the English language, let alone carni-val slang. An occasion ar...se when they were trying to set a time on a past incident. The student was asked if he remembered. He said that he did and it was when they were play-ins that "silent date." "You don't mean 'silent,' you mean 'still date,", Mrs. Smith corrected. IL Smith recalled it, too. The

books show it was a pretty quiet, if not silent, date. But he expects these. Unless they become too fre-quent, Smith will keep on Ben& He doesn't want to go back to print-ing.

Montana Spots Poor For American United CUT BANK, Mont., July 1. -

American United Shows' No. 1 Unit, walloped by bad weather and a tighter buck in its Montana tour this spring, was looking for its first winning stand here. Business has been off as much as 50 per cent in some spots, Dean Newland, as-sistant to owners Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Allin, announced. Org is oper-ating two units flis year, with the second outfit, under Charles Mason, playing in Idaho. Helena produced poor biz, with rain

almost every evening and gates of 800 to 1,200, despite the org's popu-larity there. The org has played the date almost everryear since 1935.. Sport and Alice Mathews, bar and

high. act, Is the free attraction. Bro: t shaft on the Highball added to the org's troubles and the ride wasn't set up at Helena.

VANCOUVER., B. C., July 1. — Tim Brower's Aladdin Shows, with Bill Autin, manager, have merged with Windsor's Great West Shows for a six-week route of still dates in Alberta. The latter org suffered considerable damage recently when hit by a cyclone. West Coast Benefit Shows, new

W. G. Wade GLADSTONE, Mich., July 1. —

Local stand didn't stack up with busi-ness done by shows in the industrial cities. American Legion Post spon-sors co-operated but it didn't help a great deal. Gate was heavy and con-cession biz was spotty. Shows were the consistent winners. Diana was the heavy grosser. A surprise was Jimmie Mullhol-

land's Hobby Attraction which had its best week of the season thus far. Children were out every afternoon, and standard rides drew the usual heavy patronage. Novelty rides were heaviest at night. Honey Lee Walker took over the front of the Diana at-traction which is getting a heavy flack campaign. The calliope gave a 15-minute daily broadcast over WDBC, with Al La Guire, of the sta-tion, co-operating. Florence Schafer is handling the kiddie promotions. General Representative D. Wade

spent several days on the shows. Staff of Dales Circus was entertained June 24 between matinee and evening per-formance. Transportation superinten-dent Buster Crossland Is getting the fleet over the long jumps in good time. Sam Hansen has the paint crew on the job each morning. Dan Jessup, 9d, is spending his vacation with his dad on the popcorn wagon. Virgil Wood is spotting the trucks, Harry Mammas and his nephews are getting their concessions and rides into shape for the fairs. —WALTER A. SCHAFER.

D. C. Sesqui Cards Pyro, Music Groups For Fourth of July WASHINGTON, July 1. — Tradi-

tional Fourth of July show here will be staged at the foot of the Washing-ton Monument and will be the initial offering in a month-long program of observances and entertainment occa-sioned by the Capital's Sesquicenten-nial. Carter Barron is general chairman

of the July 4 event, which is being sponsored by the National Capital Seesuicentannial Commission in co-operation with the Greater National Capital Committee, National Capital Parks and the District a Columbia Recreation Board. Allen Zee, stage director of the Capitol Theater, New York, will have charge of musical and dramatic pageantry and variety entertainment at the Fourth of July celebration. Feature of the July 4 offering will

be a $2,000 fireworks show. Four service banda, 120 singers and a 21-piece ork will be directed by Sam Jack Kaufman. Tickets are 50 cents for adults, • quarter for children. Late in July the first performance

Smallwood Gives Lowdown on Knie

BERN, Switzerland, July 1.—Cur rally on a European tour, Torn Smallwood, coin machine operator and tavern owner of Idaho Falls, Idaho, recently caught a Sunday mat-inee here of Circus Knie, a one-ring truck show using a round top of about the size carried by medium-sized mo-torized units in the U. S. Music was supplied by an eight-

piece band, including piano and bass fiddle, said Smallwood, and while satisfactory, the lack of a cal-liope left something to be desired in the musical department, he said. A difference, too, was noted in the manner of announcing acts. The Knie show utilizes attractive, well dressed girls walking around a runway atop the ring curb for this purpose. The girls carry a large card bearing the printed number of the act. For the most part, the acts were

similar to those offered in the U. S., altho two were termed unusual by Smallwood. They were four or five trained camels and a Belgium-type horse act. The latter looked like the horses used by the Anheuser-Bus Brewing Company, said Smallwood. The performance included a human cannon ball act. Circus Knie carries no Side Show, but has in its back yard • menagerie for which a small charge is made. Two clowns who substituted spoken material for pan-tomime were carried by the show.

Blackpool Spends $149,800 For New Tableau Displays

LONDON, July 1. — Traditional illuminations, which are the feature attraction of the wind-up of the sum-mer season at Blackpool, England's leading shore resort, will involve an expenditure of $149,800 this year. This sum does not represent the total cost of the display but only the cost of new tableaux, since much of the equipment and electrical wiring from previous seasons is utilized. New tableaux will include an ani-

mated cricket match and an apple blossom lane, an avenue of Illumi-nated trees extending from central to south pier. Illuminations at British resorts are electric-lighted counter-parts of the pyrotechnical set pieces which are used in fireworks displays at American resorts.

WON, HORSE & UPP COMBINED CIRCUS An Daub. mad Cards. Parades—The Show Marilee! ot Geld

By Starr De Belle

Grass Meadow, Va. July 1, 1950.

Dear Editor: Last year the boss announced that

he was launching e No. 2 circus under the title of the Four-Sheet 84 Snipe Agriculturalized Circus--a two-ring and one-haystack show To give its patrons something different, an Al-bino camel W83 carried instead of an elephant. The building of the new cir-cus was planned to not cost Manager Upp or this show's co-owners any money. So three farmers were pro-moted and the circus was framed with their dough and equipment. However, the farmers were hep to the art of holding a buck and they put the show on the road with practically no investment. While en mute, it was an odd looking overland fleet that comprised farm tractors pulling hay-racks, a steam threshing machine en-gine pulling five fawn wagons and a manure spreader the latter being used as a stake-and-chain wagon. Following the rolling stock came 40 head of farm horses that were herded from town to town by a guy on horse-back. He also led the camel. The show's big top we a 60 by 90.

bale ring, without a lace rope in it. The wheat shockera had picked it up from a traveling sky pilot who was hep to canvas and knee when mildew was taking its toll The big top was always erected over a haystack on some local son-of-the-soies meadow in order to have props for the featured act, a boy's and gal's ha slide, which in rustle areas is more popular than are cities' soapbox derbys The per-formance also featurer horse-pulling contexts (thug the 40 head of draft skack) and haymow gymnastics such at skinning the cat on rafters. The three farmer-co-owners had enough

sons and daughters, all stage struck, who could strum and yodel. This gave the show an eight-piece washboard and tub band. They had also worked in school minstrels. That gave the show a blackface concert. Outside of gas, oil, coal for the

steam engine and the freight on smoked meat and vegetables shipped from their farms, the sh.no was al-most nulles, as they fed their stock from the haystack that was daily hid-den under the big top and every-body doubled in canvas, concert, cookhouse and big show. Everything the farmer-managers

did was opposite to what a showman would do. Manager Upp told his agent to put it in bad territory and keep it there to break the new erg as quickly as passible so he could take over. However, the damned thing prospered thru its nulles, operation and after mopping up for six weeks they de-clared Mike Upp out because he had no money invested is it. Here today the ingrate, wild-catted

the town day-and-date with our show. Thru a party line telephone they advertised their performance to such good results that they packed them in both afternoon and night. We played a blank because their tele-phone plugs were loaded with such sex appeal as, "Bring your sweet-heart for two hours of haymow fun and frolic. Slide the haystack arm in arm. If you haven't a boy friend or • gal, we'll furnish them from our per-sonnel of gorgeous actors and act-resses." This date brings back the words of

an old-timer who said, "To give a show's earning power the acki test, leave it unguarded and see whether anyone will steal it."

Fit Prices to Man With 5 Kids, Rose Tells Coast Expo

SAN DIEGO, July 1.—Billy Ruse, who is serving as a consulting director of the 1953 California World Progress Exhibition, urged that the fair be designed for the family man. He also praised the location for the proposed affair in Balboa Park as the "most magnilicent spot for such an event I ever saw" in addressing a civic luncheon here Monday (26). Rose, who is serving for a pound

of tobacco that was given him at the luncheon, declared that the exposi-tion has a chance to dramatize "how much better our free enterprise is and what idiots we would be to let the Kremlin boys walk in and take over." After outlining the theme ot the

event, Rose asked the directors to scale the events to fit the purse of the "man with five kids." He stressed the point that fairs are not held for the rich but for the working man. Rose will use his experience in the

entertainment field to show exhibitors how to dramatize their products un-der the free enterprise system.

Hicksville (N.Y.) Farm Mart Lures 'Em With Kid Rides

HICKSVILLE, N. Y., July 1. — Taking a cue from outdoor show busi-ness, the Hicksville Airpark Farmer's Drive-In Market here has taken on the atmosphere of a combination mar-ket-fair as a lure to kids and thereby their parents. Kiddie rides, including a Ferris

Berlin Soviet Zone Minus Circus Fare After Barlay Exit

BERLIN July I. — The Soviet see or of Berlin has been left with noth lag in the way of circus fare since the flight of Harry Barley across the border into the Western (Allied) zone. Barley, operator of the Circus Barley, fearing expropriation and national-ization of his circus by the Soviet au-thorities, succeeded in getting most of his staff, equipment and animals out of the Soviet zone of Germany and is reorganizing his circus in the Allied Zone. Barlay's big indoor circus arena in

the Soviet sector of Berlin, and a few horses and animals he was unable to make away with, have been taken over by the authorities of the Red zone, who have been forced to pre-sent a vaude-revue in the Barley arena as they have no trained animals or circus acts to offer. Revue is ap-propriately titled. Attractions Wanted. Show, a moderately good one, opened in May to fair business, but attend-ance has taken a dive this month. Large tent circuses in the Western

zone of Germany are registering good business, particularly in the smaller cities where there are no counter at-tractions. Emil Wacker's Circus Apollo played to good business the early part of June in Bremerhaven, Bremen and Hamburg, Circus Williams also drew good

houses during a stand at Kiel where, thru a deal with rail and buz lines for eut-rate excursions, circus fans were attracted from neighboring com-munities. Circus Franz Althoff is set for a season in Cologne as part of that city's celebration of the 1,900th an-niversary of its founding.

Norwalk, Conn., Begins Tercentenary September 1 NORWALK, Conn., July 1. — This

sion te use the Old Town House here as headquarters. Committee also voted to call the event "The 300th Anni-versary Celebration of the City o/ Norwalk."

BURTON, 0., July 1. — Geauga County Fair here will mark its 127th year of operation this season with a new race track, an all-steel grand. stand, a new livestock judging pa-vilion and a recenUy constructed 4-H building. The track, grandstand and pavilion

were designed and built under super-vision of G. R. Lewis and Associates, Findlay, O.

Armchair Safaris BANGKOK, India, July 1.—

Animal collectors who supply jungle creatures to circuses and zoos now base their activities here and have swapped sweaty trail treks for soft hotel chairs and long cool ones. Collectors get the animals

from Siamese dealers who, in turn, buy them from natives in the interior. Reasons for the procedure are that animal-capturing safaris cost too much, most of the collectors can'. speak Siamese and the government does not want collectors in the jungle. Collectors are as adept as natives at capturing animals, but with these stumbling blocks in front of them they prefer the system of remote-control ac-quisition.

Junkin Air Cannons Set Up by Bullock At Long Beach Park LONG BEACH, Calif., July 1. —

A concession of five 138mm. Junkin Air Cannons has been set up in Vir-ginia Park here by J. C. Bullock, gun's designer. Air cannon is being manufactured

by Junkin Machine Company, with Johnny M. Junkin in charge of pro-duction. Bullock will handle equip-ment distribution. Gun shoots nine soft rubber balls

and is 48 inches in over-all length, with 38 inches being devoted to the chrome barrel. Weighing only 35 lbs., the air cylinder and base are alumi-num alloy heat-treated casting. Gun has genuine trigger action and is operating here on 65 pounds or less pressure. Air pressure can be in-creased to 300 pounds. According to Bullock, the Junkin

company can turn out 100 guns a week. Cannons may be used either on a permanent or portable location. The designer is working on a new knockover target that will be in-destructable and reset by air pres-sure. While a package deal is planned, guns and targets will be sold separately. The concession here goes for three

balls for a dime or nine for 25 cents. A 75-foot range is used.

Butlin Bahama Unit Seeks Fresh Money NEW YORK, July I. — Elaborate

vacation camp established by William E. (Billy) Butlin on the island of the Grand Bahama, off the coast of Florida, is running short of cash and Brigadier S. Keith Thorburn, chair-man of the board of Butlin's (Ba-hamas) Ltd., has been checking up on the camp's operation and mapping out plans for procuring additional funds. Butlin's Grand Bahama spot is said

to have coat $3,724,000 and an addi-tional sum of $840,000 was ponied up by the promoters to provide working capital a few months ago. Idea of charging American vacationista $98 a person for a week's stay at the re-sort apparently has not clicked as well as expected. Butlin is one of the most successful operators of such camps in Great Britain.

Stevens' Bad Luck Comes in Big Doses

SALMON, Idaho, July 1.—Mem-bers of Stevens Bros.' Circus wil guarantee the truth of that old bro-mide, tough luck conies in large doses, as they recount their current season's tour. The show opened in Hugo, Okla., March 18 and Peg Haden, superintendent of cage ani-mals, died in Craig, Colo, The Grim Reaper struck again when death took Mrs. Allen, who succumbed to a heart attack while show was enter-ing Idaho. Isow had two inches of snow in

Green River, Wyo., and three inches of the flakes at Kemmerer, Wyo. The show did capacity business here June 25 in an all-day drizzle, but

8:30 p.m. a four-wheel trailer carrying the three main light plants was burned to the ground, with two local fire companies fighting the blaze to no avail. Moving out of this city to Arco,

Idaho, a horse from the palomino Liberty act sustained a broken leg and had to be shot. At 7:30 p.m., the same day the Side Show and menagerie top blew down. Crossing into Colorado the cookhouse was wrecked, damaging the cook stoves. Fat Byrnes turned the seat truck

over, but without serious damage. The George Ilell circus band con-tinues to play snappy music despite the fact that its members are attired In overcoats most of the time.

letters, with pamphlets giving details about performances and an application blank for ducats, in its early-bird campaign. Who say! the British are phlegmatic?

For several days before he left Louie Lad omitted tha horseback ride in the spec. In some stands Louis's ac-tivities were limited by a boxing commission ruling but he continued concert appearances thru the St. Hyacinthe stand. Truman Gibson, Chicago, financial

adviser to Louis, said the circus en-gagement had been marked by a "pleasant personal relationship." The contract included a July 1 option date. If Louis were with the show beyond that time, both parties would have been required to continue under the contract thru August 12. Gibson -aid he had served a rou-

tine notice on the circus to cease use of Louil's name after a reasonable time but that he realized billing for about two weeks in advance already was posted. In addition, most of the wagons carried the boxer's name At Drummondville, Que., (24) the

show played to a full night house and three-quarter matinee. How-ever, most business in Quebec had been below that standard. Late ar-rivals and poor matinee were fre-quent. Night shows were three-quarters of capacity frequently. At St. Hyacinthe the show had two

halt houses. A last-minute change to a lot outside the city plus local celebrations on the eve of a national holiday and the fact that the circus came in on market day, when busi-ness places stay open in the evening, combined to hold down the atten-dance.

2 Derby Groups In Court Tangle NEWARK, N. J., July I. — Legal

tangle has developed over which of two professional roller skating groups may call itself Roller Derby, with the matter now in Superior Court here. Roller Derby Associates of New

York, thru its attorney, has asked that Roller Relay Derby, Inc., of New Market, N. J., be forced to drop its "misleading name as well as the type of sport it is engaging in." On the other side of the fence, a local lawyer has filed for a declaration of rights in Federal Court, maintaining that the name Roller Relay Derby has been copyrighted for 18 months. Roller Derby Associates holds that

it has been in operation since 1935 and use of • similar name or sport by another group confuses the public. Roller Relay maintains that its game and rules are different and its players skate faster.

quest of the manager of a skating rink which is located in a section re-cently annexed to the city. "I am personally against the city

I Pipes for Pitehmen By Bill Baker

GEORGE H. BROOKS . . . better known as Road Map Scotty, has been making his headquarters at Valley Park, Mo., since his last mis-sive to this corner from St. Louis. Brooks says he worked the Truman parade in downtown St. Louis In June with popcorn, peanuts, Ice cream and flags but spending was way off. He also played the two-day Shrine Cir-cus in Olney, Ill., to fair returns. He had, balloon, and flying birds. Re-turning to St. Louis, Brooks worked the North Side Sports Arena for Aus-tin Potter. He'll leave Valley Park soon for his annual trek of fair and celebration dates.

MORRIS KAHN'rROFF . . Is still in Room 308, Mt. Alto Hospi-tal, Washington, where he's recov-ering from his recent operation. He entered the hospital for treatment May 29. He says he has received nu-merous letters from friends during his convalescence. Morris expects to re-main there for about two weeks more when he will return to the pitch game. "I hope that Speedy Haskell has a speedy recovery." Morris pens. "He's a fine fellow and clean worker. Was pleased to note that Robert Noell is doing well. I happened to break him into the pitch business in the '30s thru Florida, the Dakotas, Texas and Oklahoma."

UNDER AN ORDINANCE . . . to be voted on by Danville, Va., city council, magazine salesmen and other door-to-door solicitors will have to be registered by the police depart-ment in the future. Under the pro-posal such solicitors will have to be finger-printed and photographed by the police department for a fee of $1 before being authorized to operate. This will give the police an exact record of the person applying for per-mits and permit • check back with FBI files. The ordinance covers sales-men who collect money for future deliveries and will not apply to venders who sell foodstuff to resi-dents. Danville is a large tobacco market and numerous sheetwriters have been making that territory dur-ing the tobacco selling season.

JAMES (KID) CARRIGAN . . . cards the following from St. Louis: "Left Los Angeles two months ago and worked Cincinnati for three weeks before being closed under the new ordinance which provides that one must be a resident of the city be-fore he can obtain a permit to work. I next went to Indianapolis. Kingan's there, which always was a good spot is closed. From the Hoosier Capitol, went to Chicago and found that Max-

well Street is vastly changed from other years. Now you pay $100 for a location and the tab on Sundays is from $5 to $10. Here in St. Louis the license le $5 for six months, but the police won't let you work after you've obtained a permit."

JACK (BOTTLES) STOVER . . . Is still working spots around DelMar, Va., to okay returns. He advises that he'll probably make • stand at Ocean City, Md., soon and would like to read pipes here from Walter Stoefel, Sen-timental 'Manning and all the with it folks in the biz.

MADALINE E. RAGEN . . . blasts from her Hillbilly Holler near Benton, Ark., that the spot is still a mecca for pitchfolk. Curly Burnett and family were overnight guests re-cently, while Tip and Lil Halstrom, Arleen Sidenberg and Mary Russo are spending a two-week vacation there. Lou Yesner was a visitor to the Holler while en route to Hot Springs recently. Madeline, who advises that she's getting ready to go to Alaska, says: "Was sorry to learn of the death of Harry Maier, the Mayor of Park Row. Ile was a credit to the pitch profession. Our figurine demonstra-tion Is still going strong in the Mc-Clellan store, Little Rock. Mary and Dick Kanthe met a number of pitch-man recently while on a visit to Tulsa, Okla. They included Duke Dover, Doe George Ward and Freed, who carne in with coils. My wax show is still in storage in Joplin, Mo. Things are tightening up in Arkansas and Alabama. The cotton crop prospects are slim because of the old boll weavel."

RONNIE PAYTEN . . . is reported to have ditched his magic turn in favor of pitching rned In and around Tulsa, Okla.

PROFESSOR ZELLAR . . . and wife, Darleen, and daughter, Can-dle Darieen. were recent visitors to Mary. and Madeline Ragen's Hillbilly Holler near Benton, Ark., while en route to present their magic show and one-man band at the CIO picnic at Hurricane Lake, Ark.

CHARLES HILLARD . . pipes froto Waverly. O., that he has seen Byron Gosh's Tent Show work-ing to good business at several Ohio spots. Hilland is doing okay with his religious pitch but says that business this year thus far has not been as lucrative as that for the same period in 1949.

CONNIE B. GAY. who formerly worked knife sharp-eners with carnivals and at fairs, cur-rently is clicking with a varied as-sortment of items which he is pitch-ing via his four programs heard over Station WARL, Arlington, Va., and a daily video show over Station WRC, Washington. In a telephone conver-sation with this corner from Arling-ton. Gay said that he's contemplating adding the Sun-Foto device, which Sid Givot, well-known kitchen-gadget worker, has been purveying to out-standing returns via his WGN-TV, Chicago, to his line-up of pitch items.

About 350 agents repped by orgs refused. In the original talks only the Three

A's and EMA were involved but later ARA came in, and whatever deal was supposed to have been made remained unsigned. The final deal embodied in a code

of fair practice was (1) impartial ar-bitration, (2) all actors to remain in-dependent contractors, (3) recogniz-ing agents. orgs as bargaining bodies and agreeing to have ARA, Three A's and EMA put up a joint guaran-tee (no actual dough) of $10,000 as a warranty of good faith that acts would be paid. Deal further strength-ened the agents' cogs by calling for a $1,000 bond from every indie as a guaranty of payment. Any agent who defaults would not be able to do busi-ness with other agents.

Speakers, all of whom vied with each other in congratulations on "working together," were Georgie Price, AGVA board member and can-didate for the AGVA presidency; Henry Dunn, AGVA topper; Jackie Bright, AGVA treasurer; Jack Katz, ARA lawyer; Sid Leipzig, Three A's prexy, and Eddie Luntz, Three A's veepee.

REP RIPPLES (Continued from pape 17)

bins pens: "There will be few tent tricks in this State this summer. The nut has got too heavy and the in-terest in tent rep is almost nil. The drive-in biz has taken over and looks like it would become a big biz." Robbins asks whether the old-timer. John Lawrence is still around. Rob-bins says that he struck tent for Lawrence 90 years ago. Robbins praises Lawrence as having been a fine man to work for.....I. M. Judd cards from Syracuse: "I will be in Streator, Ill, for Honey Boy Evans day. Knew Evans well and he was a good performer." Judd, a former performer and musician, is con-nected with an Atlanta firm. . . . From Three Rivers, Que., Emil La Piaui, writes: "Am having fair biz here with a flesh show but more competition than formerly. Some good sized circuses are billing thru here. Have four people and am using E. H. Hannan's 'Pay Up, or Else.'" La Plante says that many small American shows are playing in Que-bec villages and that there is no room for more. La Plante plays one-day stands. He has two celebra-tions booked on guarantee to give stageshows.... Masteron's Show and Museum has been in Western Idaho and reports fair biz. Show carries museum trailer and plays halls, doing some merchandising.... Don-ald Chandler is showing 16mm- Rix in the Dover Del., area and will try

isome dates n Pennsylvania before summer is over. Chandler has been showing pus for four years, being well stocked with religious subjects. ... W. E. (Dan) Ross letters from St. John, N. B., that he has eut down on his roadshow operation to devote more time to his 16mm. rental li-brary. Ross, who formerly authored most of the plays used by his Mari-time Theater Group, has George N. Price, St. John actor; Charlotte Mac-Cormack and Laura F. Roas asso-ciated with him in his 16mm. busi-Bess.

Joseph La nes pens from Hull, Ont., that "this sector of Canada is being overdone with small shows mostly from the U. S. I have had 16 pix and vaude in Ontario the past three years and was going to try tent this year but after a visit in the States I found that I was only letting my-self in for a long headache. Living costs ere high here and many Cana-dian towns are poor show towns un-less you have a following. I am trying the platform show for the summer. School shows are taboo in most Ontario towns."

SALESBOARD SIDIEIJIGHTS

Gardner & Company, Chicago, re-ports that reduced peces on its en-tire line of money, coin, merchandise and other boards have stimulated order-now with a resultant hike in production. Joe Robinson stresses that the price dip has not meant any change in quality standards, which he points out have been maintained andy even Increased where possible. Gardner's assistant sales manager, Dave Lande, is winding up a busi-ness trip thru the Central 'West ter-ritory; he senda back word of perked up conditions.

One of the Saxes who has delved into the business world in a non-salesboard or ticket capacity received a scroll of honor from Ecuador Con-sul Dr. Carlos Puig the other week. He is George D. Sax, owner of the Saxony Hotel, Miami Beach, Fla. Iry Sax, general manager of Super-ior Products, Chicago, says the award was in recognition of the ho-tel's charity show, given following an earthquake in Educador last year.

Werts Novelty Company, Inc., Muncie, Ind., reports via President Iva G. Werts that production is being maintained at peak levels. The baseball season has brought in num-bers of new accounts, she adds. . . . Charles Cunningham, DeLuxe Sales Company, Blue Earth, Minn., reports the firm has a brand new jumbo hole board. Every punch takes a pack of cigarettes, ranging from one to 10 packs, and initial acceptance on the number is encouraging, he states.

W. M. Hiller, Carol Sales Corn pany, Elmira, N. Y., tells of a steady customer trek from Buffalo, Roch ester, Utica and other points near and far over the country. Many them are steadies who have made his firm their buying headquarter for the last 10 to 20 years, he says.

has been, 'I'm not running a school of acting. I expect seasoned perform-ers when they sign on my show.' The ranks of those seasoned performers have thinned out to a bare handful and new blood has to enter the picture if America's living folk theater is to survive. "The time and effort expended

upon this development by the people still in the field working with willing, talented and youthful performers will pay off handsomely at the box office and the return of flesh will no longer be wishful thinking. It y/111 beceme a reality!"

schools, hospitals or churches. The proposed location for the open air theater at Round Hill is less than 2,000 feet from St- George's Greek Orthodox Church at Memorial Square. Even if that bill falls to pass, the

contemplated Round 11111 theater may have some difficult hurdles to over-come. Before the proposed theater may operate, a license must be se-cured from Mayor Brunton. Last night the mayor indicated issuance of the license would be contingent upon approval of the police department. Also if residents in the neighborhood protest the establishment of an open air theater at Round Hill, that might be considered grounds for blocking issuance of a license. The plan. for the theater was an-

nounced by Patrick A. Doyle, rep-resentative of Joseph S. Boero, re-tired contractor, who owns the prop-erty.

Marty Frankle Dies After Long Illness

CHICAGO, July 1.-Marty Frankle, production manager at Peerless Prod-ucts Company, died Tuesday (27) fol-lowing a long illness. Interment was Thursday (29) in Waldheim Ceme-tery, Forest Park, where services where attended by his immediate family, members of the lobe badge of which he was a member and the many friends he made during his years in the ealesborrd industry. Frankle, who had not been active

in the Peerless position for over a year because of his illness, had pre-viously filled production, designing and sales positions with Superior Products and Gardner & Company. He is survived by his widow, Dena,

and two children.

Family, Grandpa Moves In, Down in Arkansas, Be Yourself and Right Bed, Wrong Husband. Three musical comedy concerts are

featured in conjunction with the regular plays, with a survey showing that about 90 per cent of the audience remains for the special shows on the nights they are presented. Mason Wilkes conducts the seven-piece ork. The new top, a 55-foot push-pole,

with three 20-foot middle pieces, val built by Rogers Tent & Awning Com-pany, Fremont, Neb. Three sections of blues are carried together with extra chairs extending out into the airdomes which makes for a seating capacity of about 1,800. An innovation this year is the automatic canvas loader, which is motor powered. It already has proven Its worth in the few weeks the show has been out, officials report. The old standard flatset scenery

also has undergone a number of changes, the major one being the reversible double-faced panel which is easily inserted into the rear of each fiat section. In this manner, any num-ber of set changes can be made quick-ly and with one basic set of scenery. A new ceiling piece has been added and a number of improvements Is Me stage sound system haev been noted. The Schaffners are confident that

this season's layout is the best they have had in a number of years and assert that "a clean, well-acted per-formance, and, above all, believable plays done in a modern manner is the best insurance we can possibly have against the many types of entertain-ment offered the public today. Our steady patrons deserve the best we can give them in comfortable sur-roundings in which to enjoy our offer-imp." Current plans call for the unit to

make a late summer run down thrtt Arkansas under canvas after the regular tour is completed. It is con-templated to follow with a house show, with the unit playing full and split weeks in Iowa and Illinois.

ACMMA EXPANDS MEMBERSHIP House Passes Excise Bill; Ups Bell Levy Exempt Some le Unite

WASHINGTON, July I.—Without having a chance to vote on increasing the bell machine tax rate, the House this week passed the excise tax bill by a vole of 975 to 14 and sent it to the Senate Finance Committee, which is prepared to give it rapid considera-tion. The bill reached the House under

the "closed rule" usually given tax and appropriations measures. This procedure prevents the lower cham-ber from voting on any specifi: pro-posal and allows it only the option of passing or defeating such a bill in its entirety. -As it undergoes Senate committee consideration, the bill cuts most ex-isting excises but raises that on coin-operated gaming devices from the present $100 to $150. The amusement device tax remains at $10, but a spe-cial exemption is granted to amuse-ment devices operated by a penny. Penny gaming devices would receive no exemption and their tax would also go to $150. Chances of the bill to be enacted

are clouded by possibility that the Korean fighting may spread, requir-ing increased rather than reduced excises before the rapidly approach-ing time for Congressional adjourn-ment.

National Coin Named Gottlieb Distrib in Wis.

CHICAGO, July 1.—National Coin Machine Exchange of Chicago has been appointed distributor of D. Gott-lieb & Company games in Wisconsin. Firm has already been handling the Gottlieb line in Northern Illinois, Northern Indiana and Iowa. National Coin is headed by Joe

Schwartz, who has been a distributor for 18 years. The Gottlieb plant closed for group

vacations last night (30) and will resume operations Monday, July 17. During the interim, the plant will have a skeleton crew working under Nate and Alvin Gottlieb to handle emergency parts requests.

Pavesi Elected WOG Prexy; Name Directors WHITE PLAINS. N. Y., July 1.—

Carl Pavesl, local phonograph opera-tor, was elected president of the West-chester Operators' Guild (WOG) at a meeting of the new' association here Wednesday (28). The 17 charter members, said to control cumulative 75 per cent of all music equipment operated in Westchester County, were (See PAVES! ELECTED ow page 101)

House Comm. Postpones Bell Bill Hearings to July 27

WASHINGTON, July 1. — The House Interstate and Foreign Com-merce Committee will resume delib-erations on the Johnson-Preston anti-gaming bills July 27, but the legis-lation is considered having virtually no chance for passage inasmuch as Congress is pointing toward final ad-journment late this month or early in August. In an executive session Thursday (29) the committee voted to defer discussion of the legislation to the end of the month after failing to make headway on a final draft. The legislation is not officially

"dead" as the result of the deferment vote, but since congressional leaders are hoping for sine die adjournment by the first week in August at the latest, the chances for passage are drastically reduced. Nevertheless, there is always the chance that the session might be prolonged by inter-national events and the Johnson-Preston legislation in such circum-stances could come to life at any time. It is axiomatic on Capitol Hill that practically anything can happen in a crowded adjournment grind.

As matters now stand, the commit-tee Is no further along in its delibera-tions than it was at its previous executive session when it was for-mally agreed that the provisions would be limited solely to bell ma-chines and pinball machines that pay out. The committee is .gravely dis-satisfied with the language of the Johnson bill which has already passed the Senate, and it is felt that the measure is still greatly in need of revision. Because of the controver-sial nature of the legislation, Rep. John A. McGuire (D., Conn.) at Thursday's meeting originally pro-posed to table further discussion of the measure until August 8, but sev-eral proponents argued that this would amount to shelving the legis-lation for the session because of the present objective toward an adjourn-ment date. McGuire then proposed deferment to July 25, but one of the members of the committee protested that he would be required to be ab-sent because of a primary election. (See HOUSE COMM. on page 106)

'50 Fiscal Year Excise Tax Collections Reveal Decline WASHINGTON, July I.—Collec-

tions from the coin machine excise tax totaled $20,374,488 for the 1950 fiscal year, a decline of $713.066 from the preceding year, a survey of in-ternal Revenue Bureau statistics dis-closed this week. Returns for June, which are not yet

completely tabulated, could rise enough to wipe out some of the de-cline, since -Tune is a high tax col-lection month. However, the esti-mate for the month is $2,300,000 — approximately the same as for June, 1949. Top month in the fiscal year was

July, 1949, when $8,972,100 came into the Treasury. August of the same year was only $15,000 behind. Tradi-tionally, the summer months bring in

some 85 per cent of • year's total, and the 1950 fiscal year was no ex-ception. This is partly due to oper-ators buying more tax stamps in the summer and partly due to practices of local Internal Revenue offices in reporting some cumulative totals to Washington around the close of a fiscal year. Month by month comparisons of re-

ceipts over the past few years show little deviation from the general pat-tern. July, the start of a new fiscal year, has always produced the largest total, followed closely by August, with totals still at a high level in Sep-tember but well below August. June, the tail end of a fiscal year, usually runs about twice as high as Septem-(See 1950 EXCISE TAX on page 115)

July 1.—While manu-facturers of all types of coin ma-chines were keeping in close contact with the Korean situation this week, production of equipment continued steady, and the threat of World War III failed to interrupt plans for some plant shutdowns for vacations sched-uled to start last night (30). Altho the invasion of Southern

Korea Caine suddenly and brought with it screaming headlines of a pos-sible new world war, some manufac-turers in the field had known of the tense international situation for months, and were already well along with defense contracts which were awarded by the government as much as six months to a year ago. Other established firms, which converted

to war work during the last conflict, were reported to be In a position where the outbreak of large-scale emergencies would find them able to revert to war work within a matter of hours or days.

No Immediate Mann - Most manufacturers, while ex-

pressing extreme concern over the international picture, reported they did not believe a world-wide conflict was Imminent and, as the week pro-gressed, their decision to follow al-ready-completed plans for vacation shutdowns, production of equipment and planning for future production, was made. Many of the firms pointed to Presi-

dent Truman's statement Thursday that "we are not at war."

BoardAmends Constitution For Distribs

33 Fir ms Apply

CHICAGO. July 1.—in response to the distributors and jobbers seek-ing associate memberships in the American Coin Machine Manufac-turers' Association (ACMMA) since the All-Industry Show in Chicago last May, the board of directors an-nounced this week that the constitu-tion had been amended to admit such members. When the group was or-ganized in December. 1949, only manufacturers of complete coin ma-chine products were made eligible. With this new move ACMMA look another step in becoming a repre-sentative industry-wide association. Grant Shay, ACMMA chairman,

explained the change was made after several old line distributors had re-peatedly pointed out that the activi-ties of the organization had a bearing on distributors and jobbers, and it would create more harmony in the industry as a whole if they were per-mitted to join. The following firms were the first

to apply for associate memberships: R. F. Jones Co., San Francisco;

Taran Distributing Co., Miami; Coven Distributing Co., Chicago; Friedman Amusement Co., Atlanta; H. V. Phil-lips, Jamestown, N. Y.; Southern Vending Co., Danville, Va.; United Novelty Co., Biloxi, M M.; Keystone Panoram Co., Philadelphia; T. P. Davis, New Castle, Ind.; Indiana Music Co., Terre Haute, Ind.; Auto-matic Coin Machine St Supply Co., Chicago; Northwest Sales Co., Seat-tle; C. D. Liggett, Denver; Central (See ACMMA EXPANDS page 107)

Atlantic City Arcade Pitches For Kids' Biz

ATLANTIC CITY, July 1.—Making a strong pitch to attract the moppet trade, Irving Yischelberg, manager of the F'uncade, coin machine arcade on the Boardwalk here, has converted the walls of the arcade Into free show attractions. Animated cut-outs have been installed, one depicting the story of Little Red Riding Hood, another The Three Bears, with all the popu-lar juvenile tales covered. The animated cut-outs are keyed

to musical recordings of the fairy tales. When a particular story is spun out on the recording machine, the spotlight is centered on the appropri-ate cut-out panel, with the figures electrically animated for the run ol the record. The innovation, coupled with • Merry-Go-Round and other kiddie features installed at the Fun-cede, has made the arcade a "must" stop for parents when out with their children. Moreover, the attraction has arrested the attention of adult crowds as well and has resulted in a considerable increase in arcade traf-fic at all hours of the day and night.

Ice Cream Vender Field Thaws Mfrs. Develop Realistic Approach to Operation, Supply, Sales Problems Six Firms in Production; Bar, Sandwich Units Lead

By Fred Amami

CHICAGO, July 1.—A realistic approach to the sale, price, operation and product-supply facets of the ice cream vender by manufacturers has be-come more pronounced during recent months. This is indicated by disap-pearance of five-figure production claims, adjustments in list prices, realiza-tion that independent operators are the prime customer outlet, and a real desire to cement operator-ice cream manufacturer relations on the supply front, a survey by The Billboard revealed this week. Currently, six firms re-port turning out ice cream venders, with another to start output by Septem-ber. For the past month, three corn-panku reported 70, 100 and 200 unit production, respectively; two com-panies, 50 unit production each, with the one remaining firm not indicating production figures.

Osmond, convention and exhibit manager for the National Auto-matic Merchandising Associa-tion (NAMA), this week sent out a special bulletin to the 102 firms already signed as exhibi-tors for the November show. The message offered • supply of green and white stickers to be used as attendance boosters by the exhibitors on their mailings between now and convention Urne. While more than 100,000 stick-

ers were used last year by ex-hibitors, the number was far be-low the demand. This year, Os-mond said, there will be an ample supply to meet the de-mand.

St. Paul Car, Bus Riders Will Get Daily Papers Thru Venders ST. PAUL, July 1.—Vending ma-

chine sale of newspapers on street-cars and busses in St. Paul will start on the St. Paul City Railway Com-pany in two weeks. Harrison Levy, of Minneapolis,

president of Periodical Distributors, Inc., is promoting the venture and has made a contract with Charles Green, president of Twin City Rapid Transit Company, parent company of the transportation system, to pro-vide the service. Levy is having specially built an

honor - system nickel- in - the - chute machine which will be 21 inches high and will be spotted in trolleys and busses in a car card space.

400 Unite He said that 400 units will be in-

stalled on streetcars and busses to

vend The St. Paul Dispatch and St. Paul Pioneer-Press, evening and morning newspapers. Levy is to provide each vending

unit with 10 papers daily, Mondays thru Saturdays, in an initial attempt to popularize the plan. The arrange-ment calls for the unit to be put up as far forward in the streetcar or bus as possible. Each machine will be painted an attractive green, he said. The contract between Levy and the

tram firm calls for the payment to the St. Paul City Railway Company 87 cents per vehicle monthly. With papers selling at 5 cents each, he must sell a minimum of three a day to meet his monthly cost. Levy explained he had to devise an

honor-system type of vending unit (See St. Paul Riders on page 101)

FTC Delayed Canteen Case, NCWA Claims House Group in Probe

WASHINGTON, July 1.—The Na-tional Candy Wholesalers' Associa-tion (NC WA) in testimony before the House Small Business Committee this week accused the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) of "delay" in handling the Automatic Canteen Company case (The Billboard, July 1). The accusation was made as the committee launched a probe of FTC methods. John Carsanl, NCWA board chair-

man, urged the committee to make a careful study of the Canteen docket, which took seven years to decide. "It may be," said Carsani, "that the inquiry would reveal delays which should and can be avoided it enforce-ment of the Robinson-Patman Act is to be effected." The NCWA spokesman further

Plants Hiring More Workers; Up Vender Biz

WASHINGTON, July 1.—Operators with industrial locations should profit by the new wave of hiring reported this week by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The most recent BLS survey showed a net gain In May of 171,000 employees. Employ-ment in commercial establishments also is on the rise, with the gain over April for both groups totaling 330,000. BLS said the uninterrupted climb in

the number of employed persons has added more than 1.5 million workers to commercial and manufacturing pay rolls since February, the low month of 1950. The current high level of manufac-

turing employment is largely attrib-uted by the agency to gains in durable goods industries, which have ex-panded steadily since the end nf the steel strike last November. Jobless retie in May dropped to

around three million, a decrease from the previous month of nearly a half-million and a drop of 1.6 million from the postwar unemployment peak of 4.7 million reached in February, 1950. BLS said May was the first month this year in which unemployment was lower than in the corresponding 1949 month.

week program, the stickers cups and matches must appear publicly three weeks before the actual campaign begins, Goldman explained. If it is a two-week or longer campaign, they must appear at least two weeks prior to the start.

Op. Ora Own Plan As city campaign dates vary con-

siderably within the fall Red Feather period (largely thru October, Novem-ber), local vending machine operators will organize their own plans for par-ticipation and offer their promotional services to their own Community Chests. Participating cup manufacturers

will furnish the specially imprinted cups at current prices, with no extra charge. Matches will be furnished by co-operating match companies at cur-rent resale match prices. It is ex-pected that Red Feather message tape, for use on all venders and serv-ice equipment, will be available to NAMA operator members at approx-imately $0.50 per roll of 90 messages or less, from local Red Feather serv-ices. Special poster stamps for small machines will be available at $1 per 1,000. Match and cup firms supplying the

pecial material are: The Diamond Match Company, New York; Lion Match Company, Inc, New York; Maryland Match Company, Balti-more; Match Corporation of America, Chicago; Ohio Match Company, Wadsworth, O., Universal Match Corporation, St. Louis; Dixie Cup Company, Easton, Pa.; Lily-Tulip Cup Corporation, New York, and Maryland Cup Company, Baltimore.

Crystal Tips Ice Machine in Atlantic City

ATLANTIC CITY. July 1. - An automatic ice cube making machine, called Crystal Tips, was introduced here by the Mack Air Conditioning Corporation, exclusive local distribu-tor. The machine produces ice cubes that are round with a hole in the center, making them easy to serve regardless of the size of the glass. The ice machine, made by the

American Automatic Ice Machine Company of Faribault, Minn., is now being installed in bars, restaurants, clubs and hotels. The machine pro-duces over 3,300 "Ups" a day, six bushels or more than 240 pounds. The unit Is completely self-con-

tained, powered by a % horse power hermetically sealed compressor and is connected to the water, drain and regular electrical outlet. The "tips" are frozen in a stainless steel tank containing tap water. The ice "tips" build up on evaporation tubes con-taining a refrigerant. Complete freez-ing cycles takes 30 minutes and are repeated until the stainless steel stor-age bin is filled. Thermostatic con-trol starts and stops the unit, keeping an abundant supply of Crystal 'rips ready at all times. The complete unit occupies 7%

square feet of floor space. Its over-all dimensions are 41% inches high, 47 Inches wide and 23% inches deep. At near-by Pleasantville, N. J., the

Ace Machine Company also intro-duces an automatic ice making ma-chine in the Ajax, an "electric Iceman" manufactured by Servel, Inc.

lions, areas, Molitor stated, with dif-ferent rates based on such conditions. With final setting up of a full.

range coverage for the vending field still about three months off, it was revealed that Continental Casualty (based on reports from the two field men who have been examining on-location conditions since January) has tentatively suggested premiums will hinge on three major factors:

I. Territory; including haseads countered in delivering machine. to lo. cation. (this would be less in Texas than In Illinois. lot example). 31111.3113 8 lo lire and vandalism. etc. 2. Location.: rates will dater lor Is.

3. Equipment: rations type. of vend-ing. eaVviCe units will fall into dif-ferent premium brackets, with con. eructs. (such an electrical. mech.:mi cal operation, glaze area, product al products Tended, life expectancy of

Working part., etc.) determining pre-

set premium..

"IL is our intention to know each type of vender as well as its manu-facturer, as to construction, operation, repairs and the complexities of vend-ing itself, in order to set up coverage j on the best possible basis for the operator," Molitor said. To date almost all of the nation's

insurance companies have adopted a "hands off' attitude toward venders, largely because of scant knowledge of the field. A few, who have agreed to write broad coverage for various types of equipment, have set their rates at prohibitive levels, due to an exaggerated notion of the risks in-volved. A few others have written special coverage for operators cri e mutually satisfactory basis, but this group has been in the minority,

because a heavier mechaùlsm would , be larger and take up more room than the trolley firm would permit. However, if after the venture is under way for a while and proves successful and mechanical vending devices are made available at what he termed a "reasonable price," he said he may be interested in their installation. He said he plans no special promo-

tional or advertising campaign, hop-ing that the eye-view approach in each vehicle will attract newspaper I buyers each morning and afternoon. I

FTC DELAYED (fontinued from nacre 98)

extent to which FTC has enforced Its cease-and-desist order to Curtiss Candy Company. "So far as we know," Canard declared, "there has been no effort on the part of the commission in the two years since the order in the Curtiss Candy Com-pany case to enforce it upon the re-spondent." Carsani suggested that the Robin-

son-Patman Act be amended to pro-hibit selling below cost without the necessity of proving injury to a com-petitor. Such a change, the NCWA chief said, would have a "whole-some" effect upon the candy industry.

Ice Cream Vend Field Thaws; Six Firms in Production

(Continued front page 98) offer a choice of bar or sail. wich sale, with the actual break-down as fol-I 'is:

I. Bars, paper sack ..4 venders 2. Bars. boxed 3 venders 3. Sandwiches. paper sack .... 3 venden

4. Sandwiches, boxed 1 vender

5. Eclair, paper sack 1 vender

A sixth package form, a 4-ouncii roll with a flavor center, is to be vended thru the machine which is scheduled for fall production.

Sales Patten» The sales pattern adopted by the

majority of ice cream vender manu-facturers is that of direct-to-user sale, with some firms setting up staffs of active field representatives. One company states it makes direct sales In 90 per cent of all transac-tions, with 10 per cent going thru distributors. On the supplier-relations front,

vender firms have become increas-ingly active in cementing operator-ice cream producer contact during the past year. Some companies have systematically approached ice cream producers by area, and presented details of the plus-volume outlet, acted as a liaison body between pro-ducer-operator on supply, packaging problems, etc. Other manufacturers have set up supply contracts with specific dairies or ice cream com-panies, national in scope, to furnish ready-to-vend bars and sandwiches for operators of its equipment. In both instances, the operator is assured of a pre-set pattern, knowing in advance his supply costs.

Cardboard Sleeve In one instance, a vender manufac-

turer was instrumental in developing and manufacturing a special card-board "sleeve" permitting the oper-ator to load 25 bars e a time. To further aid operator-supply, the com-pany also helped develop a "box loader" for use by ic- crea makers, which equipment they could use to automatically insert bars in individ-ual vending boxes. Specific equipment, price, produc-

tion, and sales Information on each of the seven firms active in the field follows: Arctic Vendor Sales Company,

Appleton, Wis., currently producing about 70 units a week: turned out approximately 500 machines during 1949 and hopes to produce betwren 3.500 and 5.000 units this year. All sales are made direct, with the Model 151 at $635 and Model 75 at $395 (model number indicates capacity). Machines vend either boxed bars or sandwiches. Firm aided develop-ment of special loading devices for the operator and ice cream manu-

facturer, described earlier. Atlas Tool dc Manufacturing Com-

Pany, St. Louis, reports • monthly production run of 200 units on its Model A. C. 200 Cesnae vender. Sales are made direct or thru sales agents er representatives; price, $595. Machine will vend either bars, ice cream sandwiches or eclairs in paper sacks. Officials state established op-erators (mainly cigarette, candy and milk operators) a- working out satisfactory arrangements with ice cream manufacturers following the addition of this type equipment. Craig Vending Machine Company,

Danvers, Mau., Is producing two models at an unstated rate. Direct sala is made on the line, with Model 8, with 252 bar capacity, at $992 and Model 4, 196 bar capacity, $792. Both vend boxed bars. Dresko Machine Corporation, Mil-

waukee (formerly Berro Manufac-turing Company, Chicago), reporta 50 unit output per month on its $595 unit. Machine, of unstated capacity, is sold thru sales representatives, vends bars and sandwiches in paper sacks. Eastern Engineering & Sales, Inc..

Philadelphia, announces production of five machines per day, by the Turbo Machine Company, Lansdale, Pa. The 380 unit capacity vender, priced at $895, is sold direct and thru distributors (to date. 90 per cent of all sales have been made direct, officials claim), Vender handles either boxed or paper bagged bers. Firm is working with all plants of the National Dairies Products Cor-poration to supply operators of its equipment

Produetion Report Fred Hebei Corporation, Chicago,

reporting output of 50 units per month, sells its $800 Model 2000, five-flavor unit on a direct basis Machine, 190-item capacity, vends bars and sandwiches in paper sacks, 1950 models feature semi-electrical operation (delivery) instead of fully mechanical as in 1949 models. Co mpany contacts ice cream

manufacturers for operators in dif-ferent localities to work out supply details. Plus-sales potential afforded by venders is stressed in all dealings with the ice cream firm. "We be-lieve in independent operators, with the ice cream nufecturer oper-ating equipment only if he makes it a distinct department of his busi-ness with a full time staff," Hebei states. Smith Enterprises, Peoria, Ill.,

plans to start production on an ice cream roll vender by September. Unit, to be priced approximately at $275, will be sold thru sales repre-sentatives. Firm desires to work out a co-operative plan between op-erators and ice cream manufac-turers.

1 ROY TORR

Demi-Tasse NEW YORK, July 1.—Snooty

coffee lovers who prefer demi-tasse to the more plebian brew, can now get theirs from a vender —at least in the imag:nation of cartoonist B. Wiseman. His un-captioned drawing in last Sun-day's This Week, week-end supplement of The New York Herald Tribune, shows such a machine, appropriately located in a Fifth Avenue subway sta-tion. In front of the vender stand a wealthy dowager and a moustached gentleman in striped pants. Operators may see in Wise-

man's idea a way to beat the high cost of coffee ingredients as well as a means of serving the carriage trade.

Schilling & Fischer Ups Juice Selection; Buys Ind'lis Milk Op CHICAGO, July 1.—The addition

of canned grape, apricot and pine-apple juice to its milk-juice operation has served to Increase customer in-terest and, in some plant installations, sales volume, Schilling gr Fischer Dis-pensing Company announced this week. Robert A. Fischer stated that the new flavors, added in early June, supplement such volume flavor lead-ers as tomato, grapefruit and orange. New juice flavors are rotated, as

only two selections are stocked In any one vender at a time. Six-ounce cans are used end sell at a dime. Fischer indicated the three new

juices would be • permanent part of the juice operation and a fourth (banana juice) would be added w'nen available. The recent purchase of the In-

dianapolis Milk Operation, formerly headed by Paul Derringer, also was reported by Schilling & Fischer. The new route, however, will not offer juice, because vending equipment al-ready in use stocks only bottled milk and is not readily adaptable to han-dle canned juice. Fischer stated.

Cheyne Dist. Of Pressed Steel

MILWAUKEE, July 1. — Pressed Steel Tank Company announced this week the appointment of Albert S. Cheyne as district manager of the new Kansas City, Mo., office. He will headquarter at 2321 West 78th Street and cover Nebraska, Kansas, Okla-homa, Arkansas, Missouri (excluding St. Louis County) and Western Iowa. Cheyne, who joined the firm in

1930, has been in the sales depart.. ment since 1945. Pressed Steel manu-factures CO2 cylinders for carbonic gas for use in cup venders.

Alnik Names Sales Reps., Adds to Cig Lighter Vender Kit GALLUP, N. M. July 1.—The

Alnik Company here announced this week it had appointed two road rep-resentatives and was in the process of adding a new item to its Vendalite cigarette lighter kit packaged for sale thru cigarette vending machines. E. A. Gallegos, president of Alnik

and a former New Mexico cigarette operator, said the sales representa-tives were II. .J. Finney, covering New Mexico, Arizona, West anil Cen-tral Texas, and Jim Gladdis, handling Colorado, Wyoming and Western Ne-braska. Vendalite's new item is a small,

inch-long screwdriver for loosening lighter screws. The package already contains fluid (which can be used for spot remover), flints, wick and a cleaning brush. The pack sells to operators at 15 cents to be resold at eithe 20 or 25 cents. Most of Alnik's customers thus far,

Gallegos said, are putting the Egther service kit in the slow column of their cigarette venders. No change in the vender mechanism Is needed. Alnik furnishes free arrow decals calling attention to the kit and its contents and offers window stickers for on-location promotion. For those operators interested in

selling the lighter kit apart from cig-arette machines, Alnik provides a single-column vender manufactured by Advance Machine Company.

Stoner Ups Output On Penny Vender

AURORA, Ill., July 1.—With first deliveries on its new penny gum vender started a month ago, Stoner Manufacturing Corporation reported thru official Hip Glassgold this week that production has been successively stepped up each week. Current de-mand is such that future output figures continue to be channeled up-ward, he said. According to Glassgold, most de-

liveries are being made to operators of candy, cigarette, beverage and cracker venders, who are attaching the gum unit to present equipment. Glassgold pointed out that altho

Stoner's production facilities are closed at present (July 1-July 17), a skeleton crew is handling orders and shipments on venders and parts.

Self-Lok Readies Move NEW YORK, July I. — Self-Lok

Corporation, producers of a tele-phone-type coin box for vending ma-chines, will move to new offices at 751 10th Avenue here next week. Managed by Harry Russ, the firm will carry a complete line of valves, fittings and other vender accessories, in addition to its own product. Self-Lok has been located at 448 West 50th Street.

(Continued frein page 3) locations thruout the country, the package deal has been the subject of high-level confabs between the phonograph and record producers for several months. While all three parties to the deal

have been reluctant to discuss de-tails, it is known that Wurlitzer, RCA and Columbia distributors have been given the go-ahead by parent organizations. Phonograph outlets have been instructed to honor op-erator requests for free conversion kits. This is how the program works: All new Wurlitzer machines leav-

ing the firm's North Tonawanda, N. Y., plant carry two authorization cards (one for RCA and one for Columbia) in their cash boxes. The operator who plans to convert, either to 45 or 33% r.p.m. signifies his intention to his phonograph dis-tributor and both sign the pertinent card. The route owner then receives his free conversion kit, valued at $8.75. He then takes the signed card to

either his RCA or Columbia disk outlet. There he picks up, at no charge, 24 records of his own choos-ing. He is not limited to a pre-selected disk package. Records picked up after the initial set must be paid for. At his phonograph distributor he

will also pick up a Columbia or RCA sticker that he will affix to the con-verted phonograph. The sticker, 30 inches long and 2 inches wide, will be applied across the lower portion of the Wurlitzer juke dome. It will call the attention of location patrons to the 7-inch disks. It is understood that operators are

not limited to any specific number of free conversion and record packets, which will be made available for all new machines for which con-version will be undertaken. The program is expected to continue un-til the record companies decide a suitable penetration of the juke market has been made and the slow-speed juke can carry its. own weight as a consumer unit. Made easy to take for the op-

erator, the conversion calls for no financial investment. It is hoped by its backers to convert operator think-ing to slow speeds and to taking advantage eventually of savings in record costs and handling. Listeners are expected to become aware of the greater fidelity of seven-inchers.

MOA Draws Bead on AFM Bill; Seen Step to Copyright Change

(Continued from page 4)

measure for player rights is consid-ered by Congress. But Herman Finkel-stein, general counsel, did point to ASCAP's stand on a similar bill in-troduced by Rep. Hugh D. Scott Jr. (R., Pa.) in 1947.

Earlier Bill Died Supported by the National Associa-

tion of Performing Artists (NAPA), that bill, strongly opposed by ASCAP, never was reported out of committee. ASCAP's thesis has been that copy-

right legislation has all along been designed to protect the creator rather than the executant; its legal argu-ment is that copyrights concern writ-ings and not records. While Rep. Arthur G. Klein (D.,

N. Y.) is currently gathering data preparatory to drawing up a new bill along the lines recommended by Pet-trillo, there is little likelihood that It will be introduced until next year. If passed, It would almost certainly

lead to a new disposition of forces, with ASCAP and ATM then joining together to press for elimination of the juke box exemption in the Copy-right Act.

Up at October Meet With this eventually the chief con-

cern of the juke box industry, Levine

declared MOA will give the problem top billing at its next convention In October. He told a general meeting of the Automatic Music Operators' Aseociation (AMOA) Tuesday (28) that MOA would meet the question head on and seek to establish the closest ties with equipment manufac-turers to prepare for the struggle. He viewed passage of a performing-

rights bill and amendment of the Copyright Act as ruinous for the juke box industry. Administration would be unwieldy, he said, and the music business in all its phases would suffer eventually. Levine asked that all op-erators lend support to MOA. Al Denver, AMOA president, turned

to local matters and reported to mem-bers of the city-wide association on the success of its current public re-lations program. Under this program, many phonographs have been do-nated by AMOA members to Police Athletic League (PAL) centers. Mem-bers, too, have pledged donations totaling $1.000 to further PAL work. A standing tribute was paid the

memory of William Goetz, AMOA director, who died recently (The Bill-board, June 3). The meeting, at the Park Sheraton

Hotel, was • the last AMOA get-to-gether until next fall.

Sloppy Op Bookkeeping Sail To Limit Credit Potential

NEW YORK, July I.—While pho-nograph financing in this area has led to remarkably few reposlessions dur-ing the past year, Indicating a basic industry soundness, expansion has been hampered by sloppy bookkeep-ing methods on the part of operators. With operators only offering

sketchy information as to their finan-cial assets, lending houses are forced more often to rely almost completely on the judgment of distributors alone. And this has had the effect of cutting, sometimes arbitrarily, the credit re-quests of route owners, many of whom would get the full amount of financing asked, if only they had de-tailed records available. This point of view was expressed

this week by Theodore H. Silbert, president of the Standard Factors Corporation, which, in the past four years, has written coin machine paper totaling approximately $7,225,000. "Many sales now being lost due to

insufficient financial and operating

data can be saved by adequate fac tuai information," he declared, "and credit lines presently in use could jus tifiably be increased." Operators are too prone to offer only income state meats and unrevealing accounts o the number of machines they own, he explained, but balk at recording the true market value of jukes on loca-tion. This was said to give an unre-liable picture of the value of an op-eration. Silbert, a member of the American

Finance Conference also is president of the Association of Commercial Dis-count Companies of New York, and an officer of the National Conference of Commercial Receivable Companies His own concern's experience in the coin machine field has been satisfac-tory over the past 10 years, he said.

said: "The lush war-period provided high returns per operating unit be-

2 -Day Wurlitzer Showing Held in Dayton by T & DAYTON, 0., July I.—The T Its

Distributing Company, Cincinnati, held a two-day showing of the Wu litzer 1250 here at the Dayton Bilt-more June 25-28, with more than 1,500 operators and location owners In the area invited. Hosting the showing were Leonard J. Goldstein, T & L president; Paul C. Goldstein, Sidney W. Block, Merry Goret, sales manager, and Bob Fogle, service manager for phonographs.

July 8, 1950 The Billboard MUSIC MACHINES 105

For Faraway Places! Those choice locations in faraway places seem to be a lot closer when there's an

AMI to bring the music. Distances of one-hundred miles and more create no prob-

lem for the operator with an AMI in the remote spots.

The huge cash box on the model "C" allows the machine to go uncollected for a

couple of weeks at least. AMI's sturdy, dependable mechanism assures continuing

trouble-free performance, lets operators forget about breakdowns that don't occur.

And the model "C" is so light, so compact, so easily handled, that only one man

need ever accompany this juke box to any faraway place.

Extend your income by extending your territory—with an AMI model "C."

First Juke on the Moon?

One of these yeara so me hardy band of yet -propelled

adventurers is going to want a juke box on the moon.

The operator whose route reaches out into

interstellar space will probably put

an A MI in that lunar location.

HOUSE COMM. (Continued fro m pacer 97)

The July 27 deferment date was then voted 10 to 8.

Future Outlook It is figured that at least a week

would be needed to get a bill to the floor subsequent to committee agree-ment on a final draft, inasmuch as the House Rules Committee would have to act on the measure once it came out of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee. If passed by the House in revised form, the bill would then be returned to the Senate for a vote. With the House Commerce Committee bitterly divided on the legislation, it is cur-rently seen doubtful that the July 27 meeting will culminate in a favorable discharge of a revised measure.

10 Year. Ago This Week CHICAGO, June 29, 1940. — Juke

box news was garnering top atten-tion with a new conversion unit by Capehart, called Heads-Up-Selector, the wireless Wall-0-Matic selector by Seeburg, the increased sales activity of Mel-O-Tone phonographs by the Herbert Corporation, Chicago, and a general uptrend in production and sales by the big four: Seeburg, Wur-litzer, Mills and Rock-Ola. From Jack Nelson, vice-president

of Rock-Ola, came wowd of an out-cropping of interest in coin phono-graphs by Russia. A letter from the State Planning Commission of the U.S.S.R. Central Institute of Techni-cal and Economic Information, ad-dressed to Warren Fitch, of Orlando, Fla., requested detailed information on Rock-Ola jukes. Interest in coin-operated movie

units became keener, Talk-A-Vision, Inc., New York, offered a 100 per cent automatic unit featuring 10 dif-ferent subjects. As they were pro-jected on the screen in rotation, there was no selectivity. Operating on a nickel per play basis, the machine of-fered "plug-in" operation; the op-erator simply inserted electric plug for operation, collected earnings from separate coin box, while manufac-turer provided on-location service (repairs, maintenance, etc.). Another movie-record unit was

being produced by the Tonovision Corporation of America, New York. Called the Visiontone, the machine had self-winding reels, offered 10 three-minte selections, allowing the customer to make his own selection. Said to have "less parts than an auto-matic phonograph." l's was priced to sell in the same range as a new juke. A third coin movie unit, produced

by Phonovision Corporation of Amer-ica, New York, made its debut in Jack Dempsey's Broadway Bar, with an estimated 2,000 persons viewing the machine the first evening. Of-ficials of Phonovision, Frank Orsatti and Sam Sax, set up headquarters at 1 East 54th Street, New York, in the old Aeolian Building. On the operator front, a move was

afoot to place patriotic records on machines on a nation-wide level. Sug-gested disks included God Bleat America; idea was announced during the annual CMI picnic at Chicago's Riverview Park.

IS Ye w. Ago This Week CHICAGO, June 29, 1935. — A

meeting for the organization of a national association of operators was scheduled to be held in St. LEWIS in August. Announcement was made by Ralph T. Young, chairman of the or-ganization committee of the National Association of Coin Machine Oper-ators (NACMO), suggested title for the proposed group. Young, who also headed the Automatic Merchandisers' Association of Ohio (AMAO), was active in organizing State and local associations of operators since the coin machine exposition earlier in the year. Plan was to have State associations

each send two delegates and city or local groups one delegate. Organiza-tions responding favorably, and agree-ing to send delegates, were: Auto-matic Merchandisers' Associations of Iowa, New Jersey, Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, New York, Indiana, Rhode Island; Vending Machine Operators' Association of Chicago; OklahomaCoin Machine Association, Missouri Amuse-ment Machine Association; Memphis Skill Games Association; New Jersey Skill Games Board of Trade; Amalie-mated Vending Machine Operators' Association of New York; Greater New York Vending Machine Operators' As-sociation; National Vending Machine Operators' Association; Metropolitan Skill Games Broad of Trade; Union County Amusement Association of New Jersey; Nebraska Coin Machine Operators' Association; Music Ma-chine Operators' Association of Tex-as; Hamilton County Division of Ohio AMA; Cuyahoga County Division of

for term financing. This situation created an unusually heavy financia burden on sales and distributing or-ganizations, and forced many of them to provide financing facilities that otherwise would have been unneces-sary. - "During the past two or three

years, there has been a noticeable tightening of credit, especially in the automatic phonograph field, due pri-marily to an unfortunate experience resulting in substantial losses to a company engaged in such financing. Another factor which made it some-what difficult to permit a normal flow of credit availability was the appar-ent inadequate financial and operat-ing information from purchasers de-siring term accommodations.

"While most finance companies and banks have had satisfactory experi-ence in this field, it would be of im-measurable value to the automatic coin machine industry —and an ex-tremely constructive move as far as the financial institutions are con-cerned —if term or credit buyers recognize the importance of ordinary business methods, so that factual in-formation may easily be obtained from those seeking credit accommo-dations."

The pinball game is an entertaining form of amusement, from an adult standpoint."

Association in Pitch for Manufacturers Turnout at Peoria Shuffle Conference Invite All Firms To Participate in Three-Day Convention

By Norman Weiser PEORIA, TU., July 1.—The Table Shuffleboard Association of America

(TSAA), now completing plans for its second annual conference to be held here July 14-18, this week urged manufacturers of shuffleboarda and acces-sories to co-operate in the three-day meet. While TSAA has gone on record as being an association "for the players" the org's officials in their invitation to industry to participate in the conference stated in part: "The players of America want their organization (TSAA) and will go ahead with that organization as scheduled. For the good of the sport we must work hand-m-hand with industry. In other words we will sell your boards and supplies and promote your leagues. We will sell shuffleboard, the sport. We mere-ly ask your co-operation."

Need Unity TSAA officials have urged that

there be a unity within the shuffle-board field, believing that the game's best chance for perpetual success lies in both industry and players working together. To this end, these officials have said there will be no repetition of the St Louis events last year, when the First Annual TSAA Conference fell apart almost from the opening hour because of the gap in the think-ing of the two groups. Too, say TSAA officials, with a

year's experience now under its belt, the org will be able to operate on a more practical basis, with more con-crete figures to offer and more defi-nite plans for future league and tour-nament play thruout the country.

Promote All Prodoete It is apparently the plan of the

TSAA to work with all manufacturers and to include all types of beards in their future plans. In this, its second major pitch to the manufacturers, both Lee Wheeling, executive vice-(See TSAA MAKES on page 117)

Repeats a Winner:

Joe Beck Builds Shuffle Games Thru Tournaments, Finding That Competition Whets the Appetite

• By Beim

MILWAUKEE, July 1.—An ob-server of the old maxim "repeat a winner," Joe Beck, president of Mitchell Novelty Company, is swing-ing into action again this month with another of his Shuffle Alley Tourna-ments. Learning thru experience that the

shuffle type equipment lends itself to sporting competition, Beck is ex-pecting a record turnout for this, his fourth monthly session. Location owners have been expecting the firm to continue running the meets and all involved predict that the number of 5,600 players entered in last Febru-ary's tournament may be surprised this time. Games are scheduled to be played

in a month and a half period running

o thru July 91. As in past tourneys, en-• try for each contestant is free. The only provision requires that each player must play his games at loca-tions sanctioned by the Beck-organ-ized Amusement Alley Association.

Promote Meets Large printed placards at each lo-

cation advertise the event and list the rules. Tavern keepers are sup-plied with entry blanks which are perforated in three sections with the player keeping one part and two go-ing to the association office bearing

Mich. Motel Ops Find Shuffleboards Profitable Sideline

MONA LAKE, Mich., July 1. — Shuffleboard operation has become a profitable sideline for Wilfred and Marva Hoffman, proprietors of the Edgewater Cabins de Recreation Cen-ter here, who this week added three new boards to their growing route. They now have 21 boards fitted with dime-play scoring units on location in this Muskegon suburb and near-by communities. Six are operated in the center it-

self, which attracts tourists traveling the two main roads which cross at the Hoffman establishment. Parents find it a good place to stop, with kiddie rides and a monkey zoo offer-ing diversion for the youngsters. League competition helped stimu-

late play on the shuffle units last winter, and the Hoffmana are about to get a new tourney underway. But they view formal competition In the summer strictly as an experiment, since so many of their players are transients.

Vet Conn. Op Says Coinnten Should Be Joiners To Aid Biz

H ARTFO RD, Conn., July I. —Best

reco m mendation for a ne wco mer in the coin m achine business:

"Be a Joiner."

That's the advice of A be Fish, Gen-

eral A muse ment Ga me Co mpany,

Hertford, and president of the Con-

necticut Slate Coin Association, Inc.

"Ad mittedly a ne w m an getting

in the field. says Fish," is green and not sure of his ground. The best

way he can get his organization and hi mself kno wn to the co m munity is

by joining the local service organi-

zations, such as Rotary, Lions, Ki-

wanis, Advertising, etc."

Civic Interest

"Just because a coin m achine op-

erator is a ne w resident of a co m-

m unity for exa mple," Fish, advises

"is no reason why he can't participate

in co m munity activities and show

the co m munity that he's a resident

sincerely interested in civic better-

m ent."

"I'd suggest going that 'Be a Joiner'

idea even one better," he says. "I'd

also try to contribute to worth- while

charities specifying in checks and

other for ms of pay ment that the con-

tribution is co ming fro m the to wn's

newest coin m achine operator. This

is a specific m ethod of getting public

attention —and a m ost favorable way

of impressing pon the co m munity

and your coin accounts of your best

intentions"

Fish believes that donating space

in a concen 's front window for a

good co m munity cause, such as the

local Heart, Cancer and Co m munity

Chest drives, is also a good w ay of

improving one's lot within the co m-

m unity.

PUCK PATTER Chicago: SUIT DeSabo. 'United Manufactur-

ing sales manager, last week re-ported initial shipments of the firm's new factory conversion units for the original Shuffle Alley games. Field tests have shown the conversion, with its disappearing pins, not only boosts play on location, but requires only a few minutes to install.

Regardless of the heat wave that has been turning itself off and on in these parts, Ted Rubenstein, head of

& T. Sales Company, reports or-ders for the Speed Bowl conversion, featuring disappearing pins, a new backglass, individually numbered pins and the addition of strike zone markings on the cabinet, are being received daily. Firm's Lite-a-Pin conversion, introduced several months ago, is also in production, and deliveries are being made daily, Rubenstein said.

Xeeney's Bowling Champ is mov-ing into a lot of suburban locations. The conversion makes a full length board suitable for shuffle bowling play.... Universal Industries' Shuf-fle Tournament, placed in produc-tion recently, is another conversion which seems to be helping locations In this area. This product makes a long board into two shuffle games with disappearing pins.

Nets Malmgren. Precision Puck chief, made another quick trip to New York. He and his partner, Herb Smedburg. took delivery on new cars recently. . . . Smedburg says that orders are beginning to arrive in quantity from the Western States.

At Monarch Shuffleboards, Clayton Henseroff and Roy BaseIon are working on new angles for summer trade. Nemeroff is receiving in-quiries from many of the cities he visited in the Southwest last month. . . . The American cushion board at Chuck's Tiny Lodge, Midlothian, Ill., does a steady trade every night. Some of its best customers are em-ployees who play a game during free time. Chucks women's cushion team won the U. S. Championship at Peoria, Ill., and received its tro-phy last week. Capt. Bobby Carat-lie who drove the team back from Peoria, had to get her new car over-hauled. While on the trip someone put sugar in the ear's tank.

Distributors of the American Shuf-fleboard Company began arriving at the Stevens Hotel Thursday (22) for the two-clay distributor meet which ended Saturday (24). Among the first of the firm officials to arrive in town were Frederick Jordan, Paul Camino, Ken Poulson. Ho ward James. Don Freeburg and Bill Raab. ... Paulsen had to dash out to see Dan and Jim McFall. American's local distributors, Thursday after-noon following a press luncheon at Riccardo's restaurant.

At Nation Wide Novelties, Col.

Lou Lewis was working up an ef-

fective sales campaign for the firm's Shuffle Baseball game.

Pete Rozgus, Mero Industries, says that another ship-ment of steel boards left last week for locations in the Philippines.

Shuffle Tournament, Universal In-dustries conversion for longboardis is in production, Bill Ryan, vice-presi-dent, reports. This is the unit which makes a 22-footer into two shuffle bowling games with disappearing pins and automatic scoring.... The cushion board at Chuck's Tiny Lodge, Midlothian, Ill., is getting so much play lately that the owners are thinking of putting in more equipment. . . . Several American distribs dropped into the lodge over the week-end to see Chuck Cavai. uni, sponsor of the team which won the U. S. Women's cushion title in Peoria, Ill., last month.

Los Angeles: Bill Schrader. president of Pacific

Shuffleboard Bowling Company. Los Angeles, who introduced his new conversion at the ACMMA show. reported that production was under way and that he hoped to start catch-ing up on the backlog of orders im-mediately. The firm's product met with excellent response from opa and diatri be alike, and a number of new reps have been set.

(Continued from pace 97/ ber. The January-May period is slow, with the five months combined producing only around $1,000,000, approximately the same as for Sep-tember alone, and about one-sixth that of July. October, November and December

show variations. In the 1950 fiscal year, November was high for the three months, while in the 1949 year the high was reached in December. De-cember, 1948, which came in the 1949 fiscal year, produced a surprising $836,117-six times the total of last December. Totals for the November-December, 1950, fiscal year period. however, were nearly the same as for the same period in the 1949 fiscal year.

Cig-Cigar Consumption

WASHINGTON, July I. — Cigar and cigarette vending will continue at a high rate, it was indicated in an Agriculture Department report jack-ing up earlier estimates of 1950 con-sumption. Cigarette consumption dur-ing the first quarter of this year ex-ceeded the record rate of 1949 by 3 per cent causing the agency to re-verse previous predictions of a slump for the year as a whole. For the 12-month period ending

June 30, Agriculture figures ciggie consumption will total 385,000,000,000 —a drop of 5,000.000,000 from the 1948-'49 figure. All of the drop, how-ever, is accounted for by a decline in export trade, with domestic con-sumption expected to surpass by some 3,000,000,000 the U. S. sale of

Cuban cigar sales are higher than prewar but con-stitute only a small share of total sales in this country. Agriculture reported that while

unchanged since mid-1948, retal prices in 18 cities surveyed have Increased more than 5 per cent since that period. Major cause for the rise. the agency pointed out, l s new or in-creased State taxes, aside taxes were adopted for the first tizne last year by Alaska and Washington. D. C., while Delaware put back its discon-tinued levy. Increases of 1 or 2 cents went into effect in 10 States during 1949.

Biz Report WASHINGTON, July I. — April

was a poor month for some types of coin machine locations, according to estimates made by Commerce De-partment recently. The whole retail field was off 2 per cent from the pre-ceding April, and location business was off even more. Restaurants and cafeterias found

grosses 6 per cent lower than a year ago, while bars and taverns were down 7 per cent. Department store business was down 9 per cent and delicatessens were off 5 per cent. Drugstore and gas station receipts were both off 1 per cent from April, 1949.

Peanut Production WASHINGTON, July L—Produc-

tion of shelled peanuts this season is at the lowest level since 1941-42, Ag-riculture Depart ment announced. Thru the end of May, the season, which runs to August 31, a,rounted fer 558,000,000 pounds as compared with 719,000,000 pounds for the com-parable portion of last season. The amot .t of peanuts used in

candy is continuing to rise, altho salted peanut usage is dropping For the current season, 97,491,000 (See Sup ers in Brief on pope 118)

Como Develops Conversion Unit CHICAGO, July 1.—Como Manu-

facturing Corporation bas developed a new disappearing pin conversion unit, Vice-President Bill Billheimer announced yesterday (30). The unit is suitable for the Bally

Shuffle Bowler and similar games, It has art automatic pin setting de-vice with realistic pins which flip out of sight when pucks pass over the scoring roll-over switches and auto-matically reset after each frame. Like bowling, the unit is designed for scoring thru 10 frames. Billheimer stressed the new con-

version can be installed on location in a few minutes thru a simplified plug connection. Operators testing the unit in the field have found that it steps up play.

Candy Sales Off

WASHINGTON. July 1.—Dollar sales of confectionery by manufac-turers in April slumped 19 per cent from March and 3 per cent from the preceding ' Census Bureau re-ported. For the first four months of 1950, dollar sales were off 4 per cent from the same 1849 period. Sales of candy bars totaled 57,677,-

000 pounds valued at $19,002,000, compared with 58,958,000 pounds worth $20,211,000 in April, 1949. For the January-April, 1950, period, poundage sales were up 4 per cent from compare'. 1949 period, -rut declining prices caused dollar steel t fall ofte ner cent. Dollar sales of bulk goods —which

include penny lince—totaled $13,848 for the first four months of this year as compared with $15,338,000 fo the same 1949 period. Poundage sales were 55,052,000 pounds as compared with 58,332,000 pounds for the earlier period.

president, and Joe Reynolds, exec-utive secretary and director of or-ganization, will attempt to start off the conference with the intent of keeping all parties together in the planning that takes place. This attempt at unity comes on the

heels of an announcement one week ago (The Billboard, July 1) that while manufacturers and distributors would be invited to attend the second an-nual conference, they would not be al-lowed to vote for officers, but, in-stead, would sit in the general meet-ing as observers.

Opinionn Differ After tobogganing, shuffleboard

grosses this spring began to show signs of increasing—and even more importantly, these increases were be-ing built on a much firmer basis than the play had enjoyed even in its hey-daY early in 1949. Leagues, pro-moted by manufacturers, distributors and operators were on an established basis when the 1949-'50 season ended in May, and advance planning indi-cated an even greater number would be ready to tee-off after Labor Day for the 1950-'51 season. Differences of opinion as to whether

organized play should be conducted on a point or frame basis continue, and this is one of the major problems which the TSAA hopes to settle at its meeting here. Local, regional and a National Open

Championship meets are also to be aired during the conference. In these matters, industry must be given a

because of its work to build shuffleboard play to date. The conference will be held at the

Cup Hotel. In this contest the top 25 entries

in the first qualifying round will com-pete in a special cup match grouping for possession of a large, handsome trophy engraved with the winner's name. Instead of offering cash awards as

had been done in the past, the prizes this time consist of $500 worth of top grade merchandise headed by a 10-inch RCA television set. Other prizes, totaling 10 in all, are a 3% h.p. Mercury Outboard motor; a lady's wrist watch; a man's wrist watch; a mantel clock; a fly rod and reel; a tackle box; a kitchen clock; a picnic outing set and a table lamp. To hypo interest in the tournament

among location owners the rules spe-cify that the final events will take place in the location that turns in the highest number of entries.

Use New Came. To keep the action flowing smooth-

ly during the final events the Mitchell Novelty Company will install three new Shuffle Alley machines especial-ly for that evening. This will tend to give the contests the same big time appearance and eftleiency as found In regular bowling sweeper tournaments upon which Beck has patterned much of the proceedings.

Nut Prices WASHINGTON, July 1. — Candy

bar nuts are likely to be higher priced because of poor growing conditions on the West Coast, Agriculture De-partment reports. The California walnut crop is fore-

cast at 59,000 tons, a decrease of 19,-000 tons from 1949. Oregon produc-tion also will be light this year be-cause of low winter temperatures, the agency said. Oregon and Wash-ington filbert crops will be light be-cause of cold weather and because a number of orchards have gone out of production. Early March frosts slowed development of the California almond crop, but the total Is ex-pected to be about the same as in 1949.

New Games Review

Chicago Coin's l'in Bowler CHICAGO, July I.—Pin Bowler, a

new five-ball game with a bowling theme, is in production at the Chi-cago Coin Machine Company plant here, Sam Wolberg and Sam Gens-burg, owners, announced this week. They also stated the plant will remain in production all summer. Designed with • wide open play-

field, Pin Bowler has a simulated bowling alley and records strikes and spares. Another new feature is a scoring zone at the top of the playing area which registers for both high score and bowling score. There are four ways to win on Pin Bowler: High score, bowling score and by go-ing thru either of two special roll-over switches when lit. Alley at lower part of playfield is

set up in typical bowling formation with simulated pins at scoring end. As balls dropping thru field reach the lower end, player tries to catch them with either of two powered flippers and hurl them up the playfield at spare and strike roll-over buttons. With correct timing and co-ordina-tion, skilled players can run up a winning score on this part of the field. Other highlights include a progres-sive bumper build-up and animated bowling action on the back rack.

you can't help

being wild

about Mills new Bells!

Wild is only a minor description of how the operators reacted to the

first showing of Mills Bells this year. Old timers said, "they are abso-

lutely the best looking Bells Mills has ever built." Newcomers said,

"Mills Bell line is just about the most colorful and best designed we

have ever seen." The use of bright colors met with universal approval.

We would like you to keep in mind that these beautiful 1950 mod-

els are equipped with the famous Mills Bell mechanism, which has

been world outstanding and famous in its field for over 60 years.

Color attracts a great deal of attention, and Mills designers have

really put color into this new line, not, however, without taking into

consideration that the proper amount of each color be correctly placed

so as not to lose the design quality. This has made the new 1950

group the most outstanding in the field today. Patrons will be wild

about the new Mills Bells; be the first in your section to operate them.
