Governor Greets YouI am very happy indeed to have the opportunity of again

extending thru the medium of The Billboard, hearty NewYear's greetings and good wishes to the members of thetheatrical profession. I do so with particular satisfactionbecause I am familiar with the voluntary service which manyof them have rendered to the people of this country.

I know from personal experience that no just cause hasever failed to evoke the active sympathy and, co-operation.of the members of the theatrical profession. On countlessoccasions the members of the profession have given nmettgenerously of their time, effort and means in behalf of worthycharities_ As a matter of fact, within my experience, I amfamiliar with several important philanthropic activitieswhose work has been made possible exclusively thru the in-terest and co-operation of the members of the theatrical pro-fession. I know of no instance in which the profession hasfailed to do more than its share in behalf of charity. I knowthat the community can continue to count on the help of themembers of the theatrical profession.

I feel, therefore, that it is fitting and proper that I shouldexpress my personal and official appreciation to that largegroup of people who have given so generously of themselvesin service to those in need or in suffering.

A Plea for ActionTHE Federal Theater Project, which represents the govern-

ment's effort to take theatrical persons off the reliefrolls and put them to work, is-as would be expected-

the target of all varieties of adverse criticism; sincere and ofax -grinding origin. Slammed on the one hand an potentialcompetition to strictly commercial enterprise and on the otheras being inadequate both in resources and manpower to meetthe present emergency. fair-minded observers must concedethat the project is the only sensible means by which the gov-ernment can aid the needy and restore their self-respect atthe same time.

Under the able direction of its director. Mrs. HallieFlanagan. the project is crystallizing; despite inevitable redtape and the chronic inefficiency inherent, it seems, in cumber-some emergency organizations. The government-as reprezsented by Harry Hopkins' Works Progress Administration-would have us be patient and v. -nit until the entire project islaunched before painting out to our readers that THERE ISAN OBVIOUS TENDENCY TO PUSH DRAMA, AMA-,TEUR AND LITTLE THEATER UNITS AND PERMITVAUDEVILLE, MUSICAL COMEDY AND CIRCUSUNITS TO DRAG ALONG SOMEHOW. We who sit onthe sidelines can wait but the actor and erstwhile showman onthe dole and the others who are yet to be given governmentrelief have mouths to feed. bodies to clothe and self-respect tomaintain. THEY CAN'T WAIT.

We would not want dramatic actors and others in theirdivision to be given less than has been planned for them, butperformers of the vaudeville, musical comedy and circus fieldshave been hit by the depression just as severely. They shouldget their share of the appropriation-and if they don't get itsoon the problem will be automatically solved by burial andhospitalization agencies. We are certain the social -minded ad-ministration would not prefer that it be done that way.

Not less to those who already have, but more to thosewho have little. Not less for any unit but enough for all, sothat the needy may be aided quickly. That is our plea and wehope that it will be heard by the red -tape weavers, by Mrs.Flanagan and by Mr. Hopkins..

What The Billboard Means inThe Life of a Prison Inmate

It was my intention to write you a note of congratulation uponthe Christmas Special Number, but it suddenly occurred to me thatshould write a letter of gratitude instead. Gratitude. I mean, for thefact that there IS a good old Billboard to bring its weekly cargo offriendly cheer into the barren existence of a sucker like me. WithoutIt life would be emptier than a politician's hat.

Week after week for almost five years now "Old Billyboy" hasbeen a faithful and most welcome visitor to my cell. Always garbedIn a bright -hued jacket as colorful as the realm Fe wens, this loyalfriend never fails to bring a faithful and interesting picture of Todayin the Big Show of Life. he his cheery company stone wan; and steelbars are forgetters as he tells in. his weekly story in which adventureand romance. Joy and sorrow, life and death play their respective partsin the glamorous history of the amusement domain.

There are no theaten, radios or cabarets in ray exiled world:no circus or ca -rival ever comes my way. Yet no show ever openson Broadway: no merle hits the screen: no new program rides theether waves that Billyboy doesn't tell me about. Thru his kindnessI have walked the "Broadway teat" with Speivin, seen "Coney" ordawdled "Out in the Open" with Traub.. For years Nat Green haspiloted me thru the "Loop" to tho bright spots of the Windy City,and I saw the San Diego Fair with Felix Oley. nisi Charlie Blue I

have heard the ballyhoo babble of a thoursand midways, and with WirthI have thrilled to the glamour and glow of "White -Top Land."

So with the holiday seaton at hand and a new year in theoffing it seems an appropriate time to voice my appreciation for thepriceless and myriad benefstions "Old Billyboy" has bestowed on me.Therefore, if a mug in the "Big House" Is not out of order in sodoing. I want to tale Hai opportunity to wish you, Mr. Hartmann --and"Svgar"-Burr, Shapiro, Nelson, Harris. those mentioned above andthe whole grand staff of The Billboard fincluding "Shsiock" Brunei --A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and A HAPPY, HEALTHY AND PROS-PEROUS NEW YEAR!

stage, tho this beck, of course. It is aChristmas number.

As a matter of feat, unless memoryerrs, It Is based on the same frame-work as the Christmas show two yearsago-the polite* Coppelle music, dancedto the story of a lad who fell in lovewith a doll, whose sweetheart took herplace and whose blood was used by thenaughty toyer:taker to bring life to thetoys. It's a pretty story, and two yearsago It was given an altogether splendidproduction, with Maria Gamberellidancing magniftorntly In the chief role.

This time the production la not sogood--eitho it's good enough to makethe ballet a pleasant interlude. Thechief drawback is the fact that this timeonly a few dolls come to life, whereasin the former version the finale wasa riot of color and mirth, with dolls.townsfolk and everybody else gambolingjoyously. There's nothing to touchthat this time.

This complete change of a situation.antiquating the Idea that the sticks werealways a teat reaort for a performer. cameabout their sheer necessity. Some newavenue had to be unearthed, since 0P-eratoes In the key cities In a great manyinstances had found. for reasons peculiarto thenuelma. that a regular stage showpolicy was not the meet advantageousmethod of theater operation. The scarci-ty of sure-fire attractions, the dearth ofplayable standard acts, the complete dry-ing up of the font of new maternal. allcontributed in no email extent to thisattitude. It can. of course, be arguedthat had these theaters remained operaand aufftcsent Inducement In the way ofconsecutive playing time been offered toacts, the elimination of the cause wouldhave been Ito own cure.

sniping of name. The old appeal of fan-fare and ballyhoo must be closely nursedand the lifeblood of every attraction Umin the ability and tinestnation of its ad-vance man. Wherever partible. the useof radio for spot announcement& hasproved a companion medium In aidingthe securing of busineas for the theater.

There are many reasons why independ-ently operated theaters In the spinnerCities have been enabled to take advan-tage of this new trend toward makinglarge attractions available to them.Most Important Is the speed and tlextbiltty with which the operator can makehis deal. Living his own problem andbeing In immediate touch with all of Itsphases. he is in a better position to de-cide what is most advantageous for hlstheater, and being unencumbered by Alarge and unwieldy organisation. be canreap the benefits of what the 111001enthu to otter. The fear that any arrange-ment* he consummates might create adangerous precedent is not his. In thecam of circuit.. certain percentage deals,while made for smaller houses. may havethe effect of prompting the attraction torequest the same type of deal In a dia-similar !situation. Therefore the circuit.In order to protect its larger theaters.canne t. take advantage of the opportu-nity offered it for the smaller houses.

ItOwever, by and Large the strongestpoint In the favor of theaters to thesmaller Lawrie Is their InexprnMes opera-tion Induced by tow rental. better ar-rangements wIth the musicians' andstagehands' cantons, cheaper newspaperadvertising rats and the like, which per-mit them to make percentage dealswhich hold greater attractiveness to achow.

Every argument that can be advancedfor Individual operation as opposed tosupervision.from a central once has beenemphasized In the buying of those allows.It le mow thought successfultheater has no dentine policy and theprocedure of grasping whatever It. can"erten the occasion arisen is the wisestplan. Many of the more successful oper-ators have changed their policies to theextent that they will take the pictureout of the theater foe an unusual roadahoy such as the Eddie Cantor Show.Some play their picture* concurrentlywith radio attractions which do a per-sonal appearance act of about 10 min-utes' length, such as Amor 'n' Andy. orplay unit shows. or band policy with a lineof girls on the stage. When the picturepolicy is deemed sufficiently strong thetheater foregoes stage shows entirely andatkits to the picture only.

The ritual of the old school of opera-tion that of religiously adhering to onemode of policy. is core. ?ter the firsttime in its history the Capitol Theater,New York. to devoid of stage shows sim-ply because tt s felt by Its directors thatat the present time this is the amenmethod of operation.

The lack of an established policy Intheaters ts especially deplorable to theoldtirner* who view the present state ofaffairs with misgiving* and claim It tobe the result of emphasising the pictureand not the flesh portion of the peOkram.In the bygone period of franchisedvaudeville each theater had a consistentbustrima and could rely upon regularpatronage to Show a steady and healthyVoss- However. with the nes policy oflaying stress upon the Onus* product,in the great majority of num each grossis only as good as the Glen shown thatweek. Therefore It is no unusual sightto sec a theater soar to a tremendousheight with Top Hat or a Mutiny anthe Bounty and drop correspondinglywith the average program picture on thefolflowtng week. This condition holdstrue with 1111.11,11.1.111 stage attractions, andunless a consistency In pictures and at-tractIons can be maintained the theaterreport will show sharp rises and falls.

One of the most Important result&from an actor playing theaters on per-centage La the new and keener under-standing that has been tallied regardingthe theater's problem. It Is naturally tothe actor's benefit. when playing on per-centage, to lend every co-operation. andthe fact that he Is sharing on the grassmakes him a partner with the NU mean-ing and portent of the word This pol-icy has the additional virtue of gettingthe attraction st Its true worth: namely.what It draws In at the box other_ Iteliminates the possibility of the theaterstanding alone on taking a loss, if any.

Theaters'Yersus UnionsALL thrti the sexaors, with the condi-

tion of vaudeville to the sad statethat it ts, the general tendency is

to lay the blame at the doorstep of thelabor unions: the musicians and thestagehands. Theater operators, circuit°Metals and performers 'even OA thelatter are now 'Mined with the Ameri-can rederstion of Label) continue todecry the demands of the union': but

there la the other side of the Mary.The unions. attho they ate for the mostpart clone -mouthed about answering ac-cusations, will toil): on occasion and re-veal that it is not their demands thataxe too affecting the variety held: theyclaim that it has been the fault of thea-ter operators themselves.

Negotiations have been going on prac-tically all year between the theatersand the uniona, the latter seeking butone thing-to get contracte that wouldguarantee a minimum number of weeksIiirtiout the year. The circuits and In-dependent theater operators,, of course.appear the establishment of a minimumtime during which stage shows wouldhave to be played. The union.. refused

guarantee, boost wage sealed highenough to snore or lea* penatire thetheaters.

The theaters and their officials areoutspoken In their attacks on theurstorni. In the case of the Lows Oa-r -inn the union, In New York refuse tonegotiate with the official because of:as antagonism. The theaters complainthat the wage scales sought are un-reasonable, that they are of atuthstature as to make it impractical toplay shows. They condemn the musi-cians' union for Ita demands regardingthe number of men to be employedand in general tin complaints whichhate oft been beaked.

The unions are almost shears on thedefensive when battling with thetheater*. They ILIVC but one elm, andthrr work quietly in their attempt toechieve It. Negotiations all over thecountry between locale and theaters haveevidenced but one trend: To establIena minimum number of weeks on the yearfor stage shows. The untona have inmind the tendency on the part of thetheaters to drop allows and swing torarsight picture policies whenever theWrit moves them. And. tho the guar-

entee they seek may 'rem exorbitanton the surface. they explain It is any-thing but that.

Tit the but few years. the unions havefelt the depression considerably. withLeese disposing of stage shows In awitoloaato manner. and theaters all overthe country reasoning to all -him poli-cies. As is rexuit unions are mindful of

the fact that they must at all C011taget an touch work a. possible thrtioutthe year. Unless the theaters agree toguarantee a certain number of weeksduring the year. the unions do tend COmake it almost impossible for them tooperate with stage snows, with thewage Deana boosted to exaggeratodlimite.

In St. Louis the union. recently esuo-cersfully negotiated with Function AsMAro0. The oontratt for the Ambas-sador Theater was settled when Y'.& M.agreed to guarantee 13 weeks durttag theyear, after the unions had naked for 30weeks. In New York, Loew has pettitilwith the =matching' union by agreeingto guarantee 26 weeks after the unionhad tusked for 32.

Of course. theater operators want torun their houses without interference.They object to dictation, and that isthe principal reason for the battlingwith the unions. They want to be ableto use stage shows when they desire;they want to be able to cut them outwhen n "super" him snakes Its bow.

A good Insight on the union situa-tton came in September of this yearat the meeting which launched theAmerican Federatton of Actors' "SaveVaudeville" drIre A producer made astatement that -if stagehands andmusicians would week for the samesalartes as vaude acts, then more the-aters will bt opened:* Jams. Brennan.president of Local 3. New York. of thestagehands union, pointed out in re-buttal that 1.259 out of a membetalitpof 1.000 %%Kt on relief. and that suretyIris organization sought more vaudevillein theaters Representatives of themusicians' union. operators' union andothers stepped to the tore to explain theposition of the union& They said thatmore work for rata nieant more workfor the craft.: that the theaters warenot right in blaming the unions for thecondition of the field. and that tt wasstrictly the elm -slab' own se:fiats motive*that were keeping flesh out of thetheater,

Many circuit offletels isehlans men-tion the unions when asked about the

of themclaim that the source of rota Is solimited that It La Impossible to playshow. 20. 30 or 62 week* a year.Furthermore. they say that the public Ladisinterested In vaudeville. Most prev-alent are statements such as, -What'sthe use of kidding ourselves: it thepublic wanted vaudeville we'd give itto them, but they don't demand It anddon't support tt when they do get itafter asking for It."

The unions %malty point out that

circuits today are also In the picturebusiness. and that they profit con-sorirrsbly when steering clear of coin -Multi= polictea; that by playingstraight picture politics the rentals forthe films and the percentages are in-creased considerably. this money goingright back into the coders of the com-pany. Purtherrnore. they claim thatoperators today arc /seeking to runtheaters as SS ilttle cost as possible. re-gardless of ultimate profits, and thatnaturally a theater's overhead Le con-siderably reduced when stage shows areomitted.

The unions also say that theaterpooling deals have been greatly respon-sible for throwing vaudeville out into thecold. An Instance is tilted In the Pitts-burgh situation. Loew and Warnerwere battling In that city. both throw-ing their houses open to huge stageshows, but they soon got together andestablished is pool. Result was thatdew shows were dropped from the!new house end continued at theWarner house. This is a conditionwhich exists in a great many cilia.thruOut the country.

Opposition Is a factoe which baa oftenopened a town to shows. An Independ-ent theater operator will come alongand run stage shows in a straight filmtown: but the circuits will soon useenormously expensive Idioms to driveout the opposition. The Latter is soonforced to exit. and the circuits followsoon after, going back to straight NC -tune*.

The unions state that they will standby their guns to the last man In theirdemands for establishment or contractsguaranteeing a minimum number ofweeks' work thru the year. ant thatthe publSe and the 'thew world In gen-eral should stand behind them.

After the Antoteurs-What/By PETER DIXON

Ithe average day of the average ad-eertieing agency radio director, notlees than 20 program Levu or se ripia

are submitted. During the peat fewmonths. almost $0 pet cent of the Ideassubmitted have Incorporated some phiuleof the amateur show idea. That thestr.ateur show formula la a good one huebeen conclueively proved by MajorBette*. Rey Perkins and others; but Iwouldn't give a plugged nickel for an-other amateur program. I haven't for-gotten what happened to Torn Thumbgolf and to &fah Jong. Some day thepublic's Internet In amateurs la going togp pouf, and that will be that. Sponsorscaught with long contracts for amateurprOgreme are going to have to do scenefact thinking.

After the amateurs, what? If i knewfor sure. rd quit radio a year from to-day and have fun with my irdllion dot-!ars. As a matter of fact, I have oneprogram in mind that t think will be flitpopular m Major Bowels' Sunday nightsoiree. But this space is not going to boused to explain that Idea.

The minds behind the programs havea number of ideas about what will nestcapture the public's fancy. There is agrowing belief that writers will becomeof paramount importance: that a pro-gram written, let us say. by ClarenceBuddingten Kelland or Sinclair Lewiswill be of first interest I do think writ -era will betatron Meets -singly important,but I don't think the time will evercome when the public will °crudites. thewriter more Important than the per-former. Jimmy Cagney'a -Bottoen'". aridnot a script writer named Shakespeare.won the notices and plaudits on the re-cent movie production of A MidastosisirrNight's Dreamy. Writers will continue todo the hard work and the performer,will get the applause and the money:tt has always been that way and It willwatt:nue to be that way. ley sympathygoes out to the writers, but my commonsense tens me to look for colorful per-formers.

One bright young program Idea manhappened along one day with whatlooked like a good Idea.

Arid he wasn't tar wrong. New York.Chicago and Hollywood are crowded withthe finest entertainers the world hasever known. Nineteen out of 20 ofthem are unknowns. They haven't hadthe breaks. They can't get the breaks.either. A sponsor Is perfectly willingto spend $10.000 to present the talentsof a donee dubious amateurs. but hewon't gamble $100 on the entertainingstillitim of a perferrner whose name hehas never seen in lights or In a Broad.teal' column. Yet these people have

been trained In entertaining. They arereally good, and you'd like to hear them.Some day. some sponsor is really goingto give them a chance. When the ama-teurs have gone back to their ditches.their typewriters and their kitchenelides, perhaps the professionals willCome Into their own.

I do think that dramatic programare going to become increasingly UM:or-ient. Leslie Howard and Helen Harmhave ellgullted radio drama. White theaudience for a dramatic program Is in.variably =nailer than the audience thatlistens to a dance band or a vartety pro-gram. the dramatic program's audienceIn really attentive The listeners reallylisten. Hence the commercial mesaageIs much more effective, because thelistener's ear and brain are attuned towords rather than rhythm.

If t were a sponsor and had a reason-able amount of money to spend on radioadvertising-and a reasonable, amountfor time and talent la around 610.000 aweek -1 wouldn't try to build a programthat might attract everyone. Instead I'ddecide how many persona I wanted tobuy my product. Perhaps I am sellingtooth paste Perhaps my tooth paste isIn a tube that lasts an average familytwo sweetie. Sales totalling 1,000,000tubes a week might be my objective.Therefore I would seek a program thatwould really please 6.000,000 listener,and hope that at least one out of threeItsteners would try my tooth paste afterbeing exposed to my sales argument.-and out of aheer gratitude.

Six million listeners is not an unheardof audlente. Stmr a coast -to -coasthookup can be bought on one of themajor networks far approximately ed.000.I'd still have *4.000 to spend on talentAnd you can buy a lot. of entertainmentfor *4.000 if you aren't blinded by theglamour of a name.

I've already gone on record as beingopposed to amateurs. What could I buyfor $4,0001. Well. I could study theformula of the Sewn:Goy evening Post.That publication has a circulation ofmore than 2.000.000. I feel confidentthat I could offer In a SO -minute pro-gram as varied entertainment as la of-fered each week In the S. R. P. 1 wouldreason that If the S. C. P. can get2,000,000 people to pay five cents for themagattne. I ought to be able to get6.000.000 to listen to my program fornothing. It taker but little study torealise that the wide appeal of the Poetla in Its variety-therefore the wideappeal of my program would be In itsvariety!

The :newer? Variety and more tra-rietel

How to get it?That's your problem!

LEBHAR JR.Station WMUjtiatillcd with large chain.. Imitationsare usually cheap affairs and radiolisteners are as quick to detect shod-dlneas In entertainment as they are todetect it In merchandise.

The wise retail advertiser looks abtrill,for a program that has a local appealInstead of attempting to build a pro-gram with a general national following.A German band that has a large fol-lowing in a Clerman community willcommand a Larger audience for a spon-sor in that community than would aname band. Native music seldom heardon the networks is Magma certain toappeal to racial groups. The advertiserwith a large following among one clawor group can increase his sales by cater-ing to that group to his broadcast pro-graming.

In practically every city and on spree-tiesilly every radio station there will befound a local broadcast celebrity. Thebusiness* man who tells stories or die -cusses the local news, the singer whohas grown up In the city, with his largelocal following of friends and listener*,or perhaps the tr.aater of CMCIDOCile whohas appeared In local theaters for anumber of months.

The wire local advertiser looks for apersonality of this type on which tobuild a program. The most famous ofamateur hours to built around a person-ality who la remitter to listeners thru-out the world that his radio broadcasts.Many local Marion programs are builtaround Individuals who have iii theirown communities followings comparableto those of Major Bowes or Ray Perkins,nationally.

Local sporting events are often Moreinteresting to local audiences than na-tional sports. The annual ThanksgivingDay football game between the twolocal high schools will draw morelisteners in Nashville. for exempla, thanwill the broadcasts of the outstandingnational football contests. The wiselocal sponsor will find In such a com-petition a better opportunity to buildgood will than if he were able to span-ner the national contests on the net -weeks of all the chains in America.

The use of local provenly. with Localappeals, coupled with careful merchan-Mains of the program and clever ttrupswith local groups make it possible forthe local advertiser often to get a greaterreturn per dollar for the money heinvests In radio than can be had bymany national advertisers with thewhoic nation to draw on.

At WMCA we have both the problemsof the local broadcaster and of theclient who has a larger field to cover.Many of the contmercial programs builtfor our listener. are designed to reachonly the New York market, while other*are calculated to reach Himont the enttrc ?astern seaboard territory coveredby the stations of the Intercity group.

Because we see both types of adver-tisers and because we are intimatelyconnected with both types of programs,we have given careful study to theproblems of the different groups of ad.vertisera In radio. comparing. weighingand testing. We therefore feel thatwe know 'entreat we speak when wesay that radio offers to the local ad-vertiser as bit If not a bigger opreir-tunny. comparotIvely. than It offers tothe national distributor.

needed helped a great deal, but thenext question was haw to 7:alum aservice that would be different. thatwould have the flexibility and economythat was necessary to make It appealto station' and advertiser' alike. Show-manship came Into play at this point.and then. after the months of casting.writing. rehearsing and recordino wereover we had what the broadcastersasked for:

1. A wealth and variety of musicalmaterial recorded by RCA Victor's HighPIdelity Proceas designed to be flexibleenough for any program need

2. The best In talent, name artists andorganizations. offering not /stock butoriginal and special arrangements andorchestrations of the best in music-names like perde arofe. Nathaniel Sail-kret, Rosario Bourdon. Xavier Cugat.Barry Rarer. the Master Singers and aboat of others_

3. Continuity that glove direction andflexibility to the wealth of program ni-a-tettel and special continuity for °name'programs designed for use by differenttype, of bualneeses from a drug store toa bank.

4. A unique and ingenious catalogingsystem that la en Invaluable aid in Intel-ligent programing of the music andmaterial In the library.

In &hart, we had produced an by -to -date transcription service that could beenerchandlsed, that could pay its ownway. And when the time came to namethe service we had to select a name thatwas as different as the service and atthe manse time descriptive of It. The!fame Thesaurus was selected. It meansTreasure louse and that la what a goodservice is. a treasure house of recordedpropreens.

The design and production of theservice was the second step In the planOf merchandising the service.

The third step ewes exploiting theservice to broadcaster.. A campaign ofadvertising In the trade press and bymall told of its corning. and at theNational Association of BroluienusterOConvention at Colorado Springs theservice made its debut and was a defi-nite success.

The planning, however, did not stopat the sale of the service to broadcast.'ens Looking ahead. we realized thatmerchandising asalatence would have tobe provided-sake promotion mate-rial. photographs of artists and public-ity. newspaper mats and. last but notleast, a sales manual that station mare -',stilettoes oauld use in talking over pro-gram requirements with clients andprospects. Beyond that, there is fur-ther assistance to be rendered-tellingedverttsers and agencies about the sta-tions offertng the service. Advertisingplane for 1038 will expand on this ideaof co-operation, and bring the attentionOf national spot advertisers to stations.offering the service.

-no, story Is one of plan from beolnnine to end-plan to provide pro-gram material by renowned artist* andorgentrations: plan to increase the en-joyment of radio listening on the partof the public; plan to provide local andspot advertisers with inexpensive sotnlath-grade programs to serve as a back-ground for their selling molting*: andfinally. plan to provide elation, not onlywith excellent program materiel for sus-taining use, but also programs that theycould merchandise to advertiser* whoheretofore hesitated to use the power ofradio because of the expense of suitableprograming.

710 those Interested In electricaltranscription. such a service must revealnew frontiers because of no wide anduseful application. In conjunction withall other good transcription programsand libraries that are now available onthe market. it should help build an evengreater acceptance on the part of thelistening public for recorded programsgenerally.

Cafe work Is also a fine testing groUndfor magicians. a. It present.. them atsuch a disadvantage that they are com-pelled to sharpen their technic. A magi.

CUM finds a night club audience a mewlsmore stimulating crowd than theateraudience.

Dance act have the same trouble.They can't get away with shoddy wogkas easily In night clubs 1. they *acne -times do on the stage. The proximityof the audience and the lack of distract-ing background and fancy lightingforce the dancer to concentrate ODtalent rather than appearance.

To ambitious and alert performersnight club work is a challenge to talentsand wit. They need more talent becauseof the closeness of the audience andthey need keener wits because of thegeneral insecurity oi cafe work.

Altho cote work is still necessaryevil to certain acts. it is riarertbalswo astimulating and profitable business to agreat many others.

tan Music Hall failed to reopen this fallafter cicaleig their old season in receiver-ship. Broadway, bovrever, still has stov-e:al large eaten such as the Hollywood.Paradise and the Congress Restaurant&all with huge capacities.

Despite these prominent exami;les OSbig spots making good money. Broadwaytilts season has seen the return of pop-ularity to the smaller. Intimate spots.They appear to be coming book strong.

fipettal mention should go to swankspots such as the House of Morgan. Ver-sailles and New Montmartre, which bookhigh-priced tnualcal comedy and radiostars. The House of Morgan even in-vaded the concert field for &ender°, thedancer.

A trend noticeable In New York andkey cities is the increase of advertisingspace In the dailies being taken by nightspots. This I. an encouraging sign, in-dicating the night spot field is reachingout for bigger audiences and compet-ing with the movie brasses for attentionon the theatrical pages.

Another trend worth watching is thetnereaetng attention being given to or-chestras and floor chows by hotel diningroom... Realizing that night clubs arestealing a good money -spending patron.age away from them, the various hotelassociation hate been adrtaing memberhotels to begin now to build up thenight -out dining -and -dancing trade.

With prohibition out two yearn manyhotels had failed to take advantage OSthe opportunity to pick up the tradereleased by the speak -mane. The hotels.,em to hare awakened finally, and arenow out to battle the night clubs forthis patronage.

With competition keener and the edgeof repeal drinking worn off. night clubacts and bands are beginning to get abreak in 'salaries in proportion to thebeirhtened demand.

The n:_ ht spot field is definitely look-ing up. 'Me new year is full of promise.

311:autumn VersusCover Charge

HOW to make the customers spendle an old night club problem: it'sand old problem for any merchant.

IN a matter of feet But, to the nightspot owner, in particular, it is an espy-cleity bothersome problem because he Istrying to sell two things, food anddrtnks and also entertainment. andMORI Worry lest the customers take theOcor show for granted and complainthey art paying too much for food andchink.

It seems Uutt moot night spot cuatom-era tinoonscioutly compare the menupekes with those of regular restaurant*.They rarely take into consideration thecost of the door show, music end eventhe decorative atm:I:sphere. As a result.it is the job of the night spot operatorto make the customer feel the food anddrink prices are not so steep after ell.But. in doing this. the owner mustnever forget that he has just so manychairs and tables and they must pro-duce a certain revenue,

As a result of this endeavor to squeezeas much money as possible from thecustomers. the proprietor uses such ele-'free as minimum charge en.1 covercharge. 80eno spots Use neither. bonnetne both. and most use one or theother.

Advocates of the corer charge, whichincidentally is supposed to have br.ennepopular during speakeasy days, claimthis method is the fairest ea far as theentertainment is concerned. The ideato that the customers immediately linkthis extra charge with the oost of themusic and show, and are therefore moreattentive and possalbly more appreciativeas an audience. By making the patronsConecioult of the extra cost of having ashow, they are expected to become moreallre to its existence. Not only that.but the proprietor can then mark upthe total ernount of cover chargesaratent the price of the show. and seewhether the chow is paying for itself.Whether this Is a fair bookkeepingmetttexi or not is debatable. bossier.

Another angle on the corer charge isthat It Is A method for attracting COS -lain types of patronage. A high coverOrin''', for example. will frighten off the

The minimum charge. on the otherhand. la used by big spots going afterwide and moderate -spending patronagerather than =all and big -upendingtype.

To the proprietor. this means he canfigure each occupied taste good for theminimum charge at least. and ho canLay out his budget accordingly. nit thespots catering to transient and out-of-town trade, the minimum charge isusually not beery enough to frightenmany away, yet et the *acne time itprotects the owner gumtreat the type ofpatron who site thru a whole show andsips a single glass of beer. The mini-mum charge la primarily aimed at thistype.

On the other hand. there are quite afew well-known night spots Uutiout thecountry which advertise the fact thatthey have no corer or minimum. TiceRainbow Orin of Rockefeller Center, forexample. last month adopted this policyin an endeavor to attract younger pat-ronage. This device. however. Is usedmostly by new spots anxious to buildup trade.

The Franchising of Band BookersAnd Agents by the Musicians' Union

FIE American Feelemtion ofI clam' franchise system for bookers.agents and representatives of magi-

ciana and bandy. going ante effect Jan- -wiry 1, is not novel. Altbo new to themusic field. Equity has had is similarplan operating for peers.

Equity wee forced to do somethingabout regulating agente when some ofthem wouldn't be budnecalike, and nowthe ens is preening regulation for thesame regain.

In the Case Of the nitodelars, how-ever, the field is much larger and theproblem moth more grove. The AFMestimates there are at least 3.000 of-fices handlieg musicians In this eosin -try and Canada. Some of these officesare merely high-pressure men withtriter entire bookkeeping system in theirhats. It Is the office -In -his -hat bookerarid the many other fly-by-night agent,and bookers whose wings the AFM wantsto clip.

Going hack a little, we must under-stand that the AFM. as an internationalunion. hoe certain union standards Itis pledged to uphold. The economicdepression came along and the terrificroropetition for SOW Oompened tete/ ofthousands of musicians to accept workat below -the -scale prices and conditionsnot up to union regulations. The va-rious locals soon knew all about it,but dance 99 per oent of the membershipwas doing It, the locals usually keptquiet and hoped it would blow over.The Federation aria knew about M.But since enforcement of such regula-tions was almost entirely a local mat-ter, It could do nothing.

Of cow -se there were mild attemptsto call violators of union rules to thecarpet. In fact, some locals really at-tempUng to reform conditions weresimply swamped with complaint cases.Most of the complaints were by mem-bers against other members. Since al-most everybody wee guilty of some sortof violation, It is obvious that no realdoe -Wino was poseibLe.

The necessity for doing something toremedy the" situation became no greatthat the IOU annual convention ap-proved of a plan to franchise all per-sons handling or participatteg in thebooking of musicians. If the unioncould not maintain union standardsthru Its own members. then it wouldhave to force the agents Into becomingassociate watchdogs. And that Is justabout what the AM's franchise planInvolves.

The Arai tine Invited all handlers ofbend and musician bookhatio to aecepl.AFM franchises which ',mild bind themto observe all union regulations and tosee to it that the musicians booked ob-*erred them, too- The franchisee makethe agent or middleman a party to everycontract he 'secures. and make him re-el:sensible for paying off the musician.They alto compel the agent not tohire noo-union musicians. In turn. the*FM pledges to aid the agent In col -treeing fair commie/dons and offset hima hearing whenever he lodges com-plaint against a musician Or an ani-ploeer.

The franchise system also seeks totie up the employers of musical talentby notifying them that they must hie:only union must cans and. if hiringthat an agent, that the agent must befranchised.

If the APM can make all agents 'w-eept franchises and tf all seuplosfterenalee to avoid non-franohleecl agreesthe ATM can really begin to regulatethe Meld. It ten then drive an agentout of the business by revoking his II -Meese Red It can make It Impossible foran employer to get further music talentby calling him "unfair- end forbiddingfratichled agents and union musiciansto deal with him. Of course. If a mem-ber Is found guilty of any Ylototion. theLocals have the usual disciplinary pow-ers Ot ens, ruspension and expulsion.

This sewing -up of the field Is theoret-ical. The Arid has received 250 nppil-cations for franchisee. at Otte writing.It has s long way to go Its future ac-tion will depend to a great extent on theopposition of bookers and the militancywith which the Locals police Use fran-chise system. Altho the ATM Is edmie.storing the system from Its nationalheadquarters, the locals are the onesexpected to make complaints and getevidence.

It Is probable that later on, If ordi-nary disciplinary tactics fall to keep thefranchised bookers In line. the Ant

may compel bookers guilty of violationsto post a bond. There is also a chancethat some day, If It feels strong enough.It may esen demand that all franchised°Moos post a bond. This action is upto the AFars executive board. whichmeets every three months.

The ASh's franchise plan is an im-portant move In the rederation'e his-tory. Anti° It has a large membership,It has Always had trouble keeping it un-der control. Perhaps the franchise sys-tem, if it works, will be the thing totighten up the entire organization. Ifthe scan doesn't go over. however. Itwill Injure the organirationli prestige:Irreparably. It le believed.

The $3 TaxThe decision Of the exeetttlee board

of focal FI02. API& to enforce a rulingon its books whereby int:Wiens on sus -tenting remote teroedcests were to bepaid $3 per broadcast was the leglitlintieof a sheet but bitter ileht between thelocal and the oeeenised hotel men ofNew York City. The tight wan notablefor Its seeming pasalveness arid for thesurface Inactivity of the opposing aides.Most exciting thing about it wail theunending *true of rumors concerning agive -In by either lade.

Rumors often made the rounds that802 was going to. I-reduce the tax to$2; 3-withdraw the emulation: 3-al-low one broadcast weekly free and oneto be paid: 4-arrange a duel betweenJack Rosenberg, secretary of the local,and the secretary of the Hotel Men'sAssociation. The last had as muchtruth as the others. On the other hand.the report was ever present that thehotels were going to capitulate.

The purpose of the regulation On thepart of the rotate -Sans is quite clear.They feel that the musician In a hotelorchestra is paid to play at the hotel.for the customers thereof. They feelthat U a hotel le -oath -mix, it Is directadvertising for the hotel: that both thehotel and the radio 'station or networkare beneilted by such broadcasts; thehotel by the advertising and the eta -Hon by the smell fee received and thesupply of is programs which, if notbroadcast, would have to be producedat a greater cost by the station. Allthis felt Local 802, would not be pond -hie were it not for the mualciati. Sothe laborer woe worthy of his hire.

In addition, the New York musicianshad another very deilnite purpose tatmind. and that was to "carentre- thehotels. Bands broadcasting had tOcomprise union saes-butt not so thoseplaying for private parties and the like.This may have been one reason thatthe hotel men, thru thole organization.never. according to 802. acknowledgedany letters sent them by the musicians.

There was a considerable We withinthe ranks of the musicians' groups op-posed to enforcement, feeling that un-employment would result. However,the only opposition they could offer wasverbal and facts soon caused them todrop their claim. There was. no curtail-ment of music in the hotels.

There was con-siderable diecuealon among the dele-gates. with the larger cities ouch asChicagts and Philadelphia ardently Infavor. If they followed New York'sproottoe. the Income would go to theunemployment fund. But the smallercities and towns-which. obviously, pre-dominate In the AP11--ratd no. In thesmaller spate. such a law would un-doubtedly mean the tiring of local or-chestras, with lees competition for thenight clubs in suds cities meaning theycould use either the radio or recordings.Stations affected by the rultng thru thecurtailment of remote broaciceses would'amply use their house bands more. Afew would benefit at the expense ofmany. 'The proposal was dropped.Philadelphia. where the local had beenbattling with the stations. passed It in-dependently.

Their sole object is oneof service. With this type of officer atthe heed of the local, there is no fewor imprudent doubt on the part of Itsmembers as to the bona fide accomplish-ment of the object and the ultimateusefulness which the oneanizaelon pur-poeta to attain for Its members. A localla as strong as the character and abilityof Its officers and reprmentattree.Members realize that their local canmake little program in Its communityand among its own members unlearn menof muffle:rut cheese -ter and qualificaLion are elected to office. This type ofofficer and representative gains easilythe confidence and respect of the mem-bers.

There is a difference of attitudeamong members. Some members, con-stituting but a minortty, believe thattheir organization acts only as a police-man trying to catch the members macme violation. Such members are con-stantly devising schemes to escape therules and to frustrate the object of theorganization.. The officers are largelyresponsible for these mtstekes becausethey. tho not always intentionally. assistand encotansge petty violations. Thispractice underminee In time the mondeof the membership_ On the other hand.the attitude taken by members of thewell-oestanned local Is that of confidenceand co-operation. These members be-tters that their organization has for itssole objects advancement. usefulnessand helpfulness. Ito officers havegaited confidence and accomplish theobject and purpose of the organizationthyu honest and Industrious efforts.

An Examining Cernmitree has beencreated within the author's local for thepurpose of acquainting the new mem-ber with the laws tales and refutationsof the organization. which training willultimately raise the standard and moraleof the entire membership. It Is en-couraging to this local of 300 membersthat in the 10 -month period from Jan-uary 1. 1936. to October 30.financial gain In Ihnrid cash of morethan $3.,C00 has been made.

Po: the whole year the industry hasbeen under the onus Of this suit withthe result that the industry has had towork under a cloud that has been adefinite handicap to the development ofany forward looking potters. The un-fortunate part of any altuatSon of thischaracter is that not only does the im-mediate induetry hart to suffer, but thesuffering is likewise reflected on musicoutlets. music 'schools and music teachera In exactly the same proportion thatIt Is on the Industry itself.

The year has been one of definite re-tardetion. and the seriourneaa of thisix reflected In the turn of events existinget the present time. Copyright usershare never been confronted with sucha serious situation al confronts themtoday. not only from the standpoint oflicense complications_ but primarilyfrom the standpoint of a decided re-trenchment In publication_ The rawmaterial source for tn.:lusts-We built onthe exploitation of music has been cutinto more seriously than at any timeIn the recent Watery of American mu -steal creation. The effects of this willbe felt for years to corne. Fewer out-standing musical creations have comeon the market thee year than In anyrecent year previously. This should bethe serious concern of every organisa-tion interested In music, and should hethe serious concern of every orcanimttonInterested in American culture. Themechanical manufacturers of all kindswho rely on music for the commercialvalue of their products are being slowlybut surely hoist by their own petard.

There are, however, some interestinghighlights that the year has broughtforth_ The Increased public acceptanceof musical pictures has been a matterof very promising purport. The Ideabut sure development of a subjective in-terest in music on the part of the publichas reflected in Increased enrollments inmusk, schools and Inc:reseed tale of mu-rico tratrurnents- It will take two orthree years. however. before this changeIn musical tnteresda on the part of thepublic Is felt by the Industry.

To review the year In the Music Pub-tiaber** Protective Association tirtn.ga usOm to the remembrance of the Code.After two years of strenuous strugglebefore the various boards of the NRA,the music publishing industry Vas fi-nally granted a Code. and the popularaide of the Industry promptly organizedunder tbg Code end proceeded effectlefty to adminieter the provisions of theCode under a Code Authority consist ragof Mr. Edward B. Marks. Mr EdwinMorris, Mr. E. P. nitner. Mr. WalterDouglas and the writer. and under theadministration of a trade practice com-mittee efficiently and effectively mannedby Mr. Jack Reesman as chairmen; Mr.Rocco Voce° and Mr. Lester Snotty.

Not for years has anything so Denoficial occurred :n the music industry anthe Code- During the period that Itass in operation the Industry notice-ably advanced in solidarity and to et-feet/venoms. Unfortunately, the Codewas abolished by the Supreme Courtdecision in the Schechter Ciao

The Music Publishers' Protective Asso-ciation has brought 12 civil actionsagainst copyright infringers In the nameof various publisher -members. and hassuccessfsilly mened out each of thesecases, either to a decision or to et satis-factory settlement.

It has collected and distributed to thepublishers $125.000 during the past yearfor the use of music In synchronism ortimed -relation with motion pictures.and tt has seen the electrical transcrip-tion buistneas grow by teapot and bounds.No that a 04.000 dtstributton for theyear 1544 has grown to a 6102.000 distri-bution for the year 1925.

The phonograph record business hasbeen In a most precarious condition, andserious delays In the collection of royal-ties' hare prompted the Association toprepare a new form of license agreementwhIch will In the opinion of the counselfor the Association more adeouetety pro-

tett its members_ Such an agreementhas now been presented to Its memberswith the suggestion that each of themembers give very careful study to theagreement and adopt it It it meets withtheir approval and the approval of theircounsel. This agreement, It Is believed.will effectually correct the present dif-ficulttee In the relationship between therecord manufacturers and the copyrightproprietors.

The facilities of the Association havebeen used by Its members In effectualstudies In reference to various Inwsuitsin which the members were involved,and exhaustive studies have been oompleted in connection with Nome on theRance and with Esfreffira...

At present the Association Ls engagedIn argument, before the Federal TradeCommission looking to the correction ofcertain trade abuses now existent In thetrade by the adoption of rules under theFederal Trade Commission Act whichwill effectually bring to an end theseseveral trade abuseri.

One-Nighters for OrchestrasBy JERRY FRANKEN

ONE man's liquor le another nun'aheadache. That, as an alcoholicvariation of an old theme. turns up

what Repeal has done to the one -righterfleid for orchestras It has meant thatonly the name orchestras-the White-man* Vallee* Waring*. Olen Grays-can take in the ballroOms, proms orwhat have you. The leader who laminus a reputation (and radio is theprInetpal means of mining It) is upagairstt a stone wall when It comes totaking to the road.

Repeal's damage to the one -rightergem is the headache. The other side isthe Ttliatiaarsno of night clubs. beergardens and similar after -dark imolai andthe employment of the talent that goeswith the reviraL

Year* back. If a local dance promoterwanted to run an affair, he hired anorchestra-a tuitional reputation wasn'tnecessary-advertised, and chargedutuallY $1 per head. That was dun=Prohibition. arid the only competitionconsisted of the local theaters, otberballrooms and speaks. The more hepaid foe the band. and the bigger thename. the better the take.

Rut the new competition Ls in thesmall nIghteriess or local after -darkemporiums that present a local bandthat Just plays, a few acts and maybea email line. There Is seldom a covercharge. with Maybe a mintinum tip toal week days or $1.50 week -ends. Acouple or party can sit for a long time.see a show and spend little.

That puts the dance promoter on thespot. He has two choices. He can cutthe tariff to compete with the nightclub man, sacrifice the name band andexpect to take a loan. Or he can keepthe name band. charge his regularprice and lose money. He thus has twoways to lose. Regarding admtuson cut -Una. this summer saw a Scranton dancehall cut its admission to 1(1 cents. Thatwas the talk of the business for a while.

Numerous, dance spots are taking thebut by the horns and. Instead of justusing a local outfit, have taken to put-ting In shows_ But that. too. has Itsdrawback*. The dame halls want theyounger crowd. and without sniffingtheir floats they state that the showsattract a different New of people, aClam they do not want, one that isnot steadfast In patronage and thatscares the steady trade. So they usuallytake their chances playing the topflight orebeatree. who can usually *tu-rtle without trouble. But there aren'tmany.

One -righter season hula from tauterto October 13 at the very Latest. Theimituner has obvious advantages. Parks.pool., piers, beaches ere open, and thecollege kid. are home. That's when It'sgood but again, good only for thenames. With an unknown band, a pro-ototer can't get a good sulenlasion.

This year, like lri*t. has been p.-ettysad since the middle of October. Thebig thing now, as then. is college dates.Naturally. the New Yegr's season is atemporary life saver, just as it Ls forthe nude performer.

Anybody in the business knows that aradio buildup to the main thing foe anorchestra. It him built more orchestrasthan anything elm,. and explains thenatural eagerness of a lewder for a wire.It also explains why chiseling Is an

ever -present threat in orchestra book-ing. The publicity and buildup thatresult prone to open an avenue forlow money In order to get the bigmoney that may follow. Yet a wire can-not do everything-a casual banddomn't get very far. There must besomething distinctive about the music.

Logitirnete bookers of dance bandsand the straight -playing promoters arenow thanking the American Federationof Musicians for its recently enactedfranchise regulation. They are signingeagerly and expect that the gyp. bothon the selling and buying aide, will soonbe eilminatect. Grp bookers hare takenplenty of money out of the honestbookers' pockets. They hang up boththe promoter and the band, fly by thenight, and often make the buyer leeryof ever taking anything but a top out-fit. That makes it tougher for the crewthat Is still on the way tip. Now thecrooks may be automatically washedout.

The leading bookers In New York arenot expecting any changes in the fieldfor next year. The only thing. possibly.may be that it will continue to getmore difficult for newcomers findclimber*, Any change, of course, will beIn the box-office values of the leadingbands today. They are changing, aornegetting bigger, other failing off. Booker.have a good Idea of which one* meanSean at the box office. So have thepromoters..

While Ohio and Kentucky are two ofthe best States for one-nighters, be-cause of the many parks and outdoorspots there, many bookers look to thedeep South for the real money. 'look-ing, are plenty in Ohio and Kentucky.but the money is tea* than that whichcan be snared out of the SouthernStates. The latter have few tatliroornaand dance balls. Instead. dances areheld in auditoriums or tobacco ware-houses. It's not unusual. they say. toget 3.600 people out for an affair at $1a throw.

Rise of slam BandsA LITTLE leas than a year ago a

jA group a musicians put their hands,- in their pockets and came out withenough to start a night club. It was tobe mainly for thermaolve* for othermusictalui and show people-but inateadIt became one of the overnight favorite*of the laity. Its popularity has con-tinued. and so has the popularity of avogue started at the spot,

The place was the VarnOtla Door, andthe vogue was for Jam bands Theseething rhythms turned out by crewsof this type helped start off others thatgrew as popular ea Louis Prima. thePermans Door leader. Among the othersare the parley-flitey jam band and theWinn Mannone band.

A jam band I. an orchestra of fouror five piecee. usually the latter. con-sisting of three rhythm inatruments-vitae, bass and piano-and a trumpetand clarinet. The last two are alwaysred hot.

The music bears a distinct relatiodto that of the old-time -Dixielandgroups", hut is hotter, always "cleaner'(better munclan.ship) and has morerhythm. The moat distinctive thingabout Jam motto, however, Is that solosby any one instrument. ittually one ofthe two wind pieces. are played. withthe musician giving his own Interpreta-tion to the tune, going away from theprinted note and ad libbing This sanequality leads the uninitiated to regardthe music as Just -hot" stuff. It bail,and calla for dennIto talent.

Musicians state that sometimes eventhe beet orchestra players can't jamThey say that even the best Jazz aggro-gatIons, likewise, often can't :ant. Theymay be able to play hot music. butthey can't ad lib. Prima. Mention*. alikeRiley. Eddie Parley et al. are all notedfor this ability.

The climate of a Jam band is the matteof a hot Negro orelteatrrt made morecOmpact, oven hotter, and with theaforementioned ad lib. distinctionadded. That may explain why peoplelike it-because It Is serage/y rhythmic.almost primitive In Me qualities.

It may be that the present time andthe pace of our civilisation have con-tributed to the success of Jam bands.Maybe It is because few can listen toa Jam band and hold on to worries. Per-lupe Jam bands are a form of musicalintoxication.

There is much musicIn the public domain: some of foreignorigin that la too expensive far regularuse. such as certain operas, and othercopyrighted materiel Is available but notover desirable.

Just ea tho any other commodity,ASCAP seeks to get as much as 12 canfor its product and the buyers seek toobtain It at the lowest possible price.Many see no reason that they shouldpay for the performing rights of intuit.yet the largest custom= of AWAY-radio-states It wiebee to pay and nererwanted it for nothing.

Alongmaws still another situetion. longthreatened but now a reality. unless alast-zolnute truce prolongs or patches itUp.

nee enteral publishing houses ownedby the Warner Brother interests, makingup an important and goodly share ofthe ASCAP catalog, have served noticeof not renewing titer agreement with

Theraminconons are far reaching and oath -!rig short of a headache to all concerned.with no exceptions.

To date the ASCAP headaches areas follows:

Warner bothers subsidiaries Se-cede. Other publishers may join.

Tex laws in 11 Status are beingangled around. Texas in mast caseswill exceed the ASCAP revenue InOath of these States.

Duffy copyright measure which.pumed the Senate hest reseon ofCongress will virtually put ASCAPout of business if it passes the Housenext session.

and capable front man in Oerte Buck,plus a representative board of 'directors,the shock absorber is still Mills. He isentrusted with carrying the banner andthe tight, and consequently hart earnedin some quarters the nickname of Crer,a title evidently distasteful to hint.Thus when a delegation arrives to pro-pose or demand certain of Mills' proposaltions be avoids arbitrary decisionand lets the delegation tell Its storybefore the ASCAP board.

Latest such move Is that of James W.Baldwin. raanaglise director of the Na-tional Association of 11113041CASUIS.Baldwin has been hammering away atASCAP for both a per piece- basis oflicense and also a reduction to compen-sate for the loss of the Warner catalog.The answer to tbo latter lies bean "No."As to the "per piece" proposal, Baldwin.along with Loo Fitepatrick. resident orNAB, are to attend an ASCAP boardmeeting at this writing. Arthur B.Church and H. K. Cisenter. along withthe other two NAB *Meer*. hare alreadybeen In conference with edllls on thequestion of a -per piece" basis of pay-ment for use music. The -per use"argument is Important, because theWarners have such an idea In mind fortheir method of licenses. and should agood proposition of this sort be developed,perhaps after all, the Warners may be In-ducon to remain in ASCAP, since theywill be able to obtain the amount otmoney they seek. provided their musicIs used as much as they believe or ex-pect.

Warners' chief complaint has been hickof auflintent Income from perforrnin7rights licenses thru ASCAP. The pastyear Warners received $40.000 In divi-dends. They set forth that It should bemuch more, perhaps a million doll's,.and that radio is not paying enough.

Herman Starr. of the Warne: organiza-tion. Is the head man In so far as themusic publishing subsidiaries are con-cerned.. Starr was instrumental in get-ting the motion picture company to buyout such long-esta.bltahed music house.as Karns` Inc.. ciente:411N: the majorportion of popular musical comedytwice; Remick Music Company: T. B.Harms and M. Witmark es Sons. Thesewere bought before the stock marketcrash of 1020 and at a sum estimatedbetween 110.000.000 and 611.000.000. De-spite this huge payment, currently. themotion picture to of course the WarnerBros.' -business- and the music end com-paratively small potatoes. Nevertheless.It la probably up to Herman Starr tosee that an adequate return is receivedon the big music investment. Therebyhangs more than just an ordinary tale.

One of the regrettable twists of this"tale" is the fact that during the post1$ reverberations. Warners were on alosing tangent, probably going into thered for 640.000 weekly on Its film bun -rem and a possible *10,000 weekly on themusic subsidiaries. Radio Music Corn -sexily which had been formed wttb LeoFeist and Carl Fischer companies as anucleus, with the National BroadcastingCompany in control and rift:sally aisleowner of the stock, had an excellent op-portunity to buy the portion of themusic business then held under Warr-rrcontrol. ,'Co agreement could be reachedacrd someone In NBC may be creditedwith plenty of abort -eighteens -An Itcouldn't spars the cash then. Radio asan industry could have been sitting comparatively pretty with such a group andsword to awing. Now the Warner musichouses hare done Wetly and thru themedium of the musical films and signedwriters created numerous hits, con-sidered Indispensable to numerous pro-grama on the sir. Whether radio et al,can do without the Werner catalog re-mains to be seen. It -may or may nottry.

Added to the rarrelfIcatioes that are inthe offing are such items as writers be-ing signed by Wainer* and their productautontaticelly assigned for publicationrights to their seibudiarke. yet the samewriters being signed with ASCAP for per-forming rights. Thle particularly pip-pins to Ifarry Warren and Al Dubin. whoat the moment are riding high its hitwriters.

Other sults may develop, such e.rASCAP writer members suing Warnersbecause they wish their performingrights to remain with ASCAP: ASCAPsuing Warners. 01 vice Terme an copy-right matters as a !vault of search ofreal ownership and sr -Mimed rights.Radio networks and anntates also haveIt within their province to sue ASCAPfor not delivering the Warner catalogas per the five-year agreement signedlast spring. So much can happen itis doubtful whittle*: any sane personla eager to stand in the shoes or eitherthe ASCAP ofilcials or Its general counsel,Nathan Durban.

^NE irrows a bit weary. sometimes, ofreading peselenistic opinion*, aboutthe proemt and the future of the

anted mambo business-opinions to theeffect that the industry Is rapidly goingto the dogs, or even that It has alreadyreached that sod state. While there aresome phases of the situation today thatjustify our longing for the "good olddays" of the oeigInal Tin Pan Alley. Ibelieve there are other factors that giveus reason for rejoicing and for lookingconfidently toward the future.

One such encouraging factor Is thesr:sexing degree to which popular musicnow penetrates the daily lives of ourpeople. In the old days. the public thatheard actual perfornmanore of popularsongs was limited, virtually, to the peo-ple In the larger cities and trine, town.that were large enough to be visited byroad shows or vaudeville. Nowadays.while there are complaints that thereis nothing left but Broadway and thattbn "road" has died out, let us not for-get certain compensating feels: Everytown now has its "Broadway" It it has M.Iced one motion picture house.

bit sung by the entertaloment idol ofthe hour just as comfortably as MO theapartment dwellers in a big city.

Again, thanks to radio, the wholecountry is now the "road" for big pro-ductiotu that are heard simultaneouslyby the actual studio audience in NewYork and by invisible audieucee even inthe moat distant farm house In far-offOregon. What if the Broadway hit mu-sicals never reach the "sticks"? Themoat isolated tuners -in can hearshow's song hits presented by a White-man or a Waring and with a musicaland acoustic excellence that frequentlysurpasses the performance In the actualthole When one of the big "oak pilots"gives a likely -looking song a "plug- withhis orchestra. the entire country site inas critic. and Its successive reactions lit-erally determine whether or not the songis to be tut. If Mr. and Mrs. Americarush-and keep rushing-to the newestmusic shop in search of a copy of thenumber, it's a hit-and then only, lyre-spectire of the number of plugs It mayhare received in a given week.

Possibly by this time you are saying:Yes, but if this glowing picture thatyou have painted is trim to life, whyaren't there any millton-copy-sales as Inthe old days"? Well. It can not be de-nied that, for one thing, the over-per-forrr.ance of bit 'tunes on the air has atendency to make the public sick ofthese songs and therefore disineltned tobuy copies. However, I feel that we tooreadily admit the existence of such atrend without recogritrIng at the Larnetime certain equalizing conditions. It'strue that we haven't had any million -Cope tilts In recent years, but how longdid it take to roll up a sale of such pro-portiora In the old days? In manycases, a full year. Nowadays a real hitcan be put across In 30 to 00 days. andsome of Moat hits have reached as muchas 7141400 coplee in sales. The result Isthat Instead of putting out titre. plotnumbers In a year. the publisher is freeto go to bat on as many as 10 in thesame period, with a good chance of mak-ing the total gales considerably exceedthose reached by the one or two -mash"nits of former times.

Once more, when we look back wist-fully at the million -copy era. we shouldnot overlook the fact that the lowerprices of sheet mode in that periodmade it matte to produce a greatervolume In copies sold. as opposed tohigher cash receipts. Do you not recoilMing Into, say, a Woolworth sten, Inthe old days. with the Intention of buy-ing three copies, of popular music, andeventually emerging from the store afterpurchasing 10 or a dozen *onto, due tothe modest prim as much as to the morndemonstrator -a skin?

I have spoken of the lb:Teasel pene-tratIon of the public ooraclourineas bypopular music today. That penetration

as been a challenge which hes resultedIn a marked advance In merchandisingakin in the sheet music field. In formerrunes. a great proportion of a musicleader's patronage was from peopleeither teaching oc studying melons mu-le 0 fan educational kind. Today thevogue of popular music heard over thesir or In the movies drawn people intothe music store who would never gothere In *earth of a teaching piece orn concert song.

Inlast decade. even In the case of touringlegita taste on Broadway is In sharp con -trash most of the time. with the Wee ofthe rest of the country. It is in even*harper contrast with the taste of pIxcustomers.

TOTAL SEATINO CAPACITY -56,838.which la a pan of more than 4.500 overthe previous season. This rise. despitethe drop in the number of theaters used.is explained by the fact that many largepicture houses were taken over formusicals. They Include the Hollywood.the Broadway and the Center. the hot -named. in Radio City. adding 3,700o rate..

TOTAL NUMBER OF PRODUCTIONS-The total number of productions toNew York went up to 181) from ,theprevious season's 154. a gain of 35. Thisgain. however. was due almost entirelyto the inert:see In repertory and stockelitilegementa.

There-fore. subtracting the "specials" from thetotal number of productions. there wereduring 11134-'33 just 140 commeecialpreducttons_ exactly the same numberas the previous mason. Of these com-rrserelat preductione 122 were dramatic.a drop of four. and 18 were musical (again of four). The large gain in the so-called -.peeler categories Is explainedby the number of return engagements.several solo performances. other specialshowings, end the appearances of reper-tory and stock troupes such as the TrialsPlayers. Walter Haropden's company.Era Le Cleillienne's company. the MoscowArt Players, the D'Oyly Carte Companyand the Civic Light Opera Company.

COMMERCIAL PREMIERES --In orderto get the number of commercial pre-mieres we must further reduce the above(trims by the number of revivalsbooked for regular rum and by thenumber of chews running at the startof the season. There were four dra-matic -run revivals and no musical re -rivets in for rum, while there were fourdramas and one mistral running at thestart of the season The dramas, there-fore, must be reduced by eight. leavinga total of 114 commercial dramatic pre-mieres. as against the previous season's120. The musicals. reduced by only one.show a commercial premiere total of 17.four better than the previous season's13.

The percentageof musical falluree went way up, how-ever, with 11 musicale closing beforethe !OD -performance mark had beenreached. 'This giros them a failure -percentage of 69. as against only 43 percent the previous Lemon. It should beremembered, however, that In all prob-ability many dramas runnine leen than100 performances made a ellrht amountof money. whereas certain musicals run-ning longer probably lost.

SUDDENNEFLO OP PAILURE-Tie de-pression habit of closing failures asquickly as possible was leas marked In1934-'35 than it had been in 1003-'34.indicating the slow return of the greatmiddle class di:.w which was formerlythe backbone of the theater--ehowswhich ran not quite long enough tobecome hits, but which managed to re-turn the backers' money and perhaps abit mote besides. The total number ofshowy closing in fire weeks remained thesame. 87. but in 1934-'35 that was ante54 per cent of the total, as against 65per cent the prevlotta season. Justof these were dramatic productions, asagainst 84 the previous year. thus ex-plaining the excellent rise In the averageLength of dramatic rune.

"Por a goad many months we havenot mentioned the general business sit-uation. because Mumma was bed. andevery exhibitor knew It and was facedwith the neeessIty. such as faced allother business men, of riding out thestorm. The volume of most businessesfor the country as a whole is almostback to ncrnsal, yet about 10.000.000people are still out of work. In Industrythis means that the same productionDow being done with fewer men. Untilthese millions of unemployed are largelytaken back to work again staggeringtaxes will continue. with the threat thatmonetary Inflation may win in Congressdue to the Insistent demands of manygroups now enjoying the bernents of'easy' money from the national treasury.

"There are two main groups caprees-Ins Ides. about relieving the unemploy-ment altuation_ The first group feelsthat there must be a revival of the build-ing trades and the supply tng of housingwhich is now being needed in moat parteof the country dOe to several years whenlittle or no building was done. It isfelt that I.500.000 workers will go backto work when budding becxesses activeagain. In addition to this. perhaps 500.-000 men engaged In the manufacture ofplumbing and other building supplieswill be taken back to work. The secondthought advanced is that the peoplenow having jobs should be paid higherwages so that they can use more goodsand services. winch Irv:reseed demandwill be reneeted In many of the peoplenow unemployed going back to work toprovide things for the people who haveJobe- It looks as if there will be con-tinuing demands for higher wages. and.,as theater men. you will gain in yourbusiness front higher wages. since peoplewill have extra mangy to spend foramusements.

"The year 1530 Is a Presidential tem-reign year and the present adminIstranon has the money appropriated andundoubtedly will spend many millionsof dollars in order to 'pep things up'between DOW and the fall of 1930.

the cMeatrical Unions in x935Dy PAUL DENIS(Labor Editor.)

RELM, work pen'Icies. jurisdictionalsquabble.. Intni-unton factionalfights and increasing unemploy-

ment of members provided the majorheadaches for theatrical unions thisyear.

Most spectecular development Wail thePornm, group's challenge of Equity ad-nittilstration pollees Most Importantdevelopment. however. was the Inter-national Alliance of Theatrical StageEmployes extending Its jurisdiction overall theater workers. except actors andmining-3am, and Ita bitter tight with theInternational Brotherhood of PnectricalWorker.

The Frank Oillniore-Paul Dullren administration of Equity had flourishedIt seemed for ages unchallenged by anyfaction. Therefore. when the Forumcame along It juin about stole the show.The beginning of the year found theequity progressive faction organized andpushing its policies with hard-hittingaggrereivenesa. Prodding the adminis-tration along, It forced it to take actionon the relief situation, on rehearsal payand, finally. on more frequent member-ship meetings.

Altho now ostensibly dtrbanded, as aresult of the stormy -show-down" meet-ing called by the administration. theForum group still wields a tremendousInfluence among the Equity membershipby taking the leadership In vital tomesof policy.

The spreading out of the IA if im-portant. For 'sets the IA has pridedItself that It was a sort of vertical union.taking In all backstage workers despitecraft lines. With the projectionists anIntegral part of the union. antes organ -bed in separate locale. the IA has al-ways considered organizing the rest ofthe workers of the theater, except actorsand musicians.

The IA never did anything about. It.Laverty, and when the NRA stimulatedorganisation of natters and other front -Of -the -house employees. the IA suddenly

awoke to the opportunity. Wardrobe at-tendant" are already organniecl In Fed-eral locals in several cities, and serviceemployees organised quite a few Federallocale themselves. In addition, theBuilding Service International Unionhad become active In theaters. At thispoint the IA managed to win from theexecutive Weird of the American Feder-ation of Labor. meeting in Atlantic CityIn September, approval of Its jurladie-none.) claims over service employees.

Thus. in one stroke, the IA laid thefoundation toe expansion, cut out thebuilding service union and also gave itanother weapon to fight the alleged en-croechments of the Internationaltiro:boyhood of Electrical Workers. Atthis wilting, the IA la openly fightingto push IBEW men out of theaters andla also attempting to regain its positionin the Hollywood studios.

As for the musicians, the Federation'splan to franchise all band bookers.which goes into effect January I. is easilyone of the molt important moves In Itslong history. The franchise system, an-nounced after the annual convention.hopes to make violations of union con-tracts practically impondble.

The year was marked by two big fightsbetween locals and the Federation. InNew York, the new nproeressdre" admin-istration of Local 302 Is definitely hostileto President Joseph N. Weber of theArid and is going ahead with spectac-ular and militant reforms. The Passaiclocal Is the other thorn In Weber's side.It is now suing Weber and the ATM.asking for an injunction against revoca-tion of its charter by the AM. It isthe first open revolt by a local againstthe Weber administration in quite sometime.

Getting back to the actors, the yearfeatured the emergence of the GrandOpera Artists' Ansociatron, which n -: asgranted an AIM charter by the actors'International (Pour A's) et its annualmeeting in May.

Includingmoney for a circus project, for the re-newal of the vaude relief projects andfor th " new Works Progress vaucie-musical comedy project. In the nightclub field, It has almost tied up theDetroit clubs arid agents and has alsosigned two large New York cabarets.

The virtual parsing out of the exudecompany union. NVA. is another high-light of the year. es is the emergenceof the Screen Actors' Guild as a domi-nant force in Hollywood. Its close

ton prosidee him with consecutivebooking. In the ease of the Independ-ent Isurlesque Circuit, far example. he Iseneured of nine consecutive weeks, andeery often a talented performer is sentaround the circuit on a repeat. In stockthe performer has no ansunance of thetenyth of his booking. lie may get hisnotice on the opening day or stay fora full season.

Other benefits to tee perfcerner Oromany. No excessive rehearsals arenecessary; all the rehearsing is done theweek before the show opens_ In manycircuit houses policies are not con-tinuoue, as in the grind stock houees.and the performer gets the advantage ofdoing only two and three shows a day.An extensive wardrobe is not as neces-sary on a circuit as It is in stock, andsalaries foe the most part are higher.

When a performer plays on a circuithe is given valuable training. Bytraveling from one hots,* to anotherhe nets the extremely valuable expo-rtence of learning bow to play to avariety of audiences. Furthermore, byplaying to audiences In various cities.the performer estabilahat a wide repute -Lion. When part of a circuit. the per-former selects only his beet material.and dote not have to worry about newbits and other items each week. as hedoes in stock. ID general, there Ismuch opportunity for advancement.

The burlesque acid Itself benefitsexternierly from circuit operation.Coverage of a large number of town',aide the Med In general, and. If thechows are of a worth -while nature, thepublic can be weaned sway from theimp: melon that burlesque Is a lowterm of entertainment. Furthermore.thru providing consecutive employment.circuits bring new performers Into theMeld, foe playere can seldom secureconsecutive employment today In vaude-ville. Seldom do you hear of actionagainst circuit houses by authoritiee asyou do in the case of stock houses-orin any event action is not as prevalentas It Is in the case of stock polietee.

The theater operator who le a partof a circuit is Afforded many advantages.He is given an opportunity to con-centrate on the theater operation. whichcertainly needs much attention Indoubling Ilea s grave weekneas of bur-lesque today. Operators can seldom besuccessful at both operating and pro-ducing. Also, the expense of the showIs cut down conaidertably by playingOrman attractions. The operator sharespro rata with other circuit operators thecost of scenery and wardrobe. and getsa better buy on talent thru the mediumof consecutive booking.

The audience also benefits-end whenan audience benefits so does the theateroperator. Thru circuit operation theaudience is offe-ed new faces each week.and is not compelled to see the samepeople in different bits as in the caseof stock houses. Also. the audience getsthe performers beat show. And repeti-Hoe of music, scenes and the Like areavoided in circuit thou.

Yet. circuit operation Is not the bedof roam that it might seem to be onthe surface. It takes lots of attention.and must be nursed end watched care-fully. Tho r.ot easy to bring about anddielcult to manage, the many benefit.that It provides make an the bard workworth while. The houses oomprteinga circuit must be carefully selected sothat shows Cab be routed with the leastpossible expense and difficulty. Muchcan} must be etre:eased In the buildingof shows. so that they are payable Inteeth town comprising the circuit. ItIs necessary that each show carry acompany manager to see that the com-pany does not Lay down; that It doesthe same show every day of the route.It Is all very well to have a performerIn the role of a company manager, butIt has been proved that one actor doesnot like to take order', fleet another.

Comedy Is the strongest factor Inninth:moo reaction In the case of ourcircuit's 'those,. The circuit audiencesindicate clearly that they are more In-terested In getting laughs than the: arein watching a lot of girl. or tninkloadsof wardrobe and scenery. MI -roundLateen and a good show are preferred toa show built around girls and finery.

Circuit operation must be a partner-ship agreement. One man roust bechosen to head the circuit and to Intik,

all decisions and to supervise produc-Lions. The theater operator's needsmust be carefully comaidered. but allthe operator need worry about Is thatthe show meets the cost originallyspecified.. The one chosen to head thecircuit must be given greet freedomIn his duties. for tf all members of thecircuit etre to Interfere at random thesuccess of the circuit Would be veryUnlikely.

Now the question arises of whethercircuit embracing the ilast and Mid.west I, feasible. The day is not veryfar off when this ell' be brought about.and circuit operation will not belimited to the Dolt. The IndependentCircuit has been approached by Mid-western operators with requests to makethem a part of the wheel, but they werenot strategically enough located to makeit possible to include them on the tour.However, others will come along andthere will eventually be a circuit thatstretches from New York to Chide*.ono that will total upwards of 26 weskit..

The satne advantages to the Mid-western operators exist as they do feeifisaterin operators even more so beeline°the Midwest. with its limited supply ofper:erre...ere would be provided withmany new faces. Shows would becheaper and at the same time better.By careful routing shows could be sentout_ to that territory without involvinghairy railroading.

The Independent Buriesque Circuit Isnow In Its second season, and enPyingsuccess. It numbers among Its sue -careful spoke* in the wheel the Repub-lic, New York; alinekra. Brooklyn:Trocadern Philadelphia: Empire_ New-ark: Hudson. Union City; Howard.Sodom; elayety. Washington: Clarety.Baltimore. and a week of Pennsylvaniaotie-nightern The bigger houses aawell as the smaller ones have shownthemselves. to be adaptable to this sortof show. The New York and Brooklynhouses, accustomed to heavier budgetedshows. are supplementing the unitewith their own stock caste. whichaffords their audiences s still biggerchow for the money.

PICRHAPS the historian'.method is boat sitter all: that of welting until the hea-Lena attendant upon the occurrence of an important event has subsided belorotaking his pen in band. That. In effect. is what this colunanizer baa tried to

do in coitus -coon with the amateur rage. We have commented en the phenomenonfrom time to time Ina deacriptive Berne but conentsions have ben withheld for theobvious reason that we could not-out of fairness to aU concerned-orrivo at thornWith a conviction that every possible angle baa been covered. We aro not ready forthe ceremony of handing down judgement even yet when the rage seems to be losingIts force to some extent and when the excitement over the arrive! of this trouble-some body In the drawing room of show business has subsided accordingly.

Yet the tune mesas to be ripe when we should lay before our readers a batch ofreflections brewed from constant mulling over the matter. The primary functionOf a writer Is to sticnutate: the propagandist is he who seeks to ltnitruct. Perhapswith these random reflection's set before them many of our readers will be helped intbeir cereals to arrive at conclusions regarding the amateur situation; conclusionsthat might servo them In determining a course of action in acoordanere with theirbest interests.

It la necessary. from the start, that we regard the amateur cold-bloodedly: notas some have done. These who look upon him as a destructive force because lus-tier voices than their, have condemned him as a blot on the escutcheon of theshow business. We must ask ouraelieret Is the amateur friend or enemy to theshow business? But to arrive at this point certain other considerations must bedealt with ClispasstenetelY.

We must determine whether the amateur (this iR the species definitely mindedto some day turn professional I is bringing new Ideas, now faces. new talent and newmoney to theaters. broadcasting (studios and night clubs. We must probe and findnot to our own satisfaction weather the amateur is displacing older performers be-cause of his superior ability; or whether it is only because of his youth. Or dressthe aineteur movement bring into the ranks of show business pleasant appearingpersons with no genuine talent.

Should seasoned performers encourage amateurs as a more to revivify Interestin the dish sector of the show business? Or should the professional connive tokeep the amateur out of the business? is Interest In amateur shows a sign of re-vived public interest in stage entertainment? Or is this interest merely the mani-fested -son of those who crave to see play-acting by their relatives and neighbors?Lastly. IS amateurs. are definitely detrimental to the allow business what means areto be employed to keep them out/

We cannot answer these quoit:one-yet_ We doubt whether anybody in theshow business can answer all of them correctly.

SEVERAL weeks ago we cashed in to the extent of one column by a visit to Chi-cago. This column. It may be recalled, dealt with conditions as ere found themto be in the Windy Cley's booking mart. So tar we haven't been threatened by

men. But there have been Interesting letters from Chicago show-men and from 'showmen In near -by cities who are well Informed about Chicago con-ditiona. We were happy to And that most of the correspondents agreed with ourfindings. Busy men rarely write letters for the express purpose of keeping theiraecretarles busy. It is apparent from the unsolicited response received that thereis real Interest in the matter as well as the personality discussed therein. Thisbeing our contention we feel privileged to quote herewIth excerpts from a few of theoimmuniostione. Besides, it'. a swell way to nil a column when a guy Is up to hisneck preparing for flftlybors (botd your breath) 41st Annual Amusement Reviewand Monday Greetings Number and opening envelopes the livelong day expectingto find cheeks and finding Instead the latest styles in greetings cards and cranklettere on the eternal question: Who killed Cock (Vaudeville) Robin?

Writes our good friend. Morris Sliver, heed man of the Chicago William Niceneothoe:

After reading your column ... I telt prompted to write you a few linesto commend you on some of your slants with reference to certain con4t-Vona that exist In the booking of talent for units with box-onioe value and-taverns- that are in the habit of paying from two to there dollar's a nightIce Individual entertainers. The writer is really astounded when he teethedwhat a number of places are in the habit of paying for their talent as aresult of having sent out a number of circulars, a copy of which I am here-with :naming.

I booked cabarets when cabarets were cobs:nets. I supplied the talentin former year. at Rector's. the North American. the States and other. lead-ing eating places thrum% the Middle Wart. Sven in those days the worstdive in the world would not dare to offer a performer the mere pittancethey are offering them today. I can say without reservation that we de-liberately ignored or refused more than to so -railed "taavensh who wantedits to service them on a beats of 113 a head per night. If this is what theshow buelnea$ is coming to It is high time for thoughts In other directions.We still believe that good performer's are deserving of good salaries. andunless we can hare good places to book them in we certainly will make Itour business to get along wItbeen the other kind.John &Matthews. magician of Detroit and one of the leading light* of the so-

ciety of American Magicians. has this to say about the Chicago article generally andabout W. C. Don:teed in particular:

I Wires emery magician in this neck of the allow world will applaudthis week's column wherein you eulogize our mutual friend. W. C. Dam-ned- We agree in every detail with what you say in the lest paragraph.and I speak for a number of fellow -magi.

Not as a friend. but as an Impartial observer of the entertainment pan-orama for the !set It) years. I have often wondered what was lacking in thefaculty of the scauerenent-seeking public which failed to register appre-ciative response to a personality that so well deserves recognition of thehighest order. It always seemed that -Deasy- took Detroit audiences bystorm when be mad. an occasional apeerance here: only to retire to Chi'math where Las "Dainty" always expressed it). "A prophet is without humorin his own realm."

Now from your ^metre!s w bee the light. It isn't the public that I.blind and deaf to "talent- but very often. as in the case of Chi. the agent.While you use "Dome's." mos as an instance to prove a general theory.magicians and a hoes of *thee, will be ogee improwed by the instance thanby the theory. We recognize him as an Institution. Row many Woos haveno ono "Dorm' submerge his own pernonelltv. his own talents. Into theaccesses of a collective enterprise? How many times have we seen himstand in the background. avoiding the publicity, boosting the fender withInterior talents?

"Donny" has not reached the top. But I'll gamble if be eccomplithesthat precarious feat a thoustand of us (vain as we are) will get a biggerkick out of it than is It were the flirt person angular.

NEAA Cencesl Counsel

A I'Vetc IdeaNewspapers are giving a considerable

amount of space in Chicago to Leo A.Seltzer'sTRANSCONTINENTAL ROLLUItDERBY Ede* which he Inaugurated earlythis year. Editorials have prattled thisnew sport which, starUng at the Collac-um in Chicago, outdrew the six -daybicycle races in Louisville a few weeksago. In fact, it met with such a splen-did response that a new show is to bestarted soon in the Coliseum.

At first the roller derby appeared tome to be slow and unattractive. Butgradually Seltzer introduced innovationsUntil today it la a fast moving, thrilling,exciting sport. not needing artificial"heat" and attracting fans by the thou-sands.

Leo Seltzer Is to be highly compli-mented for conceiving and developing anew sport. Let's hope for the best fortbo new show-meantime, we'll all beCheering for him.

The following Is an actual excerptfrom a daily paper and refers to the re-cent Joe Louis-Preilino Creceedun fight:"One moment he was there for all to see.a vigorous. wholly vital human being-then, suddenly. he was gone, finished.Inert, nil but lifeinews: his legs exeeln-reiunicated, his head and shouldersbloody from the bosom to the hair line.-The stockyards are more humane, butnot as artistic."

And on the nurse page was anotherstory telling of the Colonel's Lady andJudy O'Grady. who were there. the creamof the "Pour Hundred" mingling withthe East Bide of New York, all there towatch the inhuman slaughter. Includingthe mayor. high city and State official,.builnees and professional men, all cheer.leg at the mayhem going on before theirsparkling eyes,.

AND THE WALKATHON IS BARREDBECAUSE OP ALLEGED CRUELTY!

Its enough to exasperate a cockroach.

I have been flaked why lawn againstthe endurance contest are passed. Yostknow as well as I do. But the Inert factthat laws are passed toes not prove theyare reasonable. There are many foolishLawn In existence as, for example, thetaw In Boston veliteh forbids keeping adog mere than 10 Inches high, a law inPortland, Me.. forbidding any male fromtickling a girl under the chin: a law inLos Angeles. Calif- to:FM.142m anyonefrom shooting at a hare or jackrabbitfrom a Tarot; oar, and another law InCharleston. 3. C., compelling prisonersto pay III for riding to jail to a patrolwagon.

All this is nut as sensible as a certainatetute which commenced (In all seri-ousness) as follows: "An set to amendan act to amend an act to amend an actstriking out the comma In the fourthline of the, eeventh paragraph of.- etc.

hilly. isn't It? So are the ordinancesand statutes barring endurance contestsand yet permitting ether contests manytimes more dangerous to roll merrily err_TheNeanderthal man roust be chucklingin his Reeve at the antics of modernfoolish mortals.

When it is discovered that a red flagexcites a bull what do you de? Natural-ly you remove the red flag. Why notfollow the same Brie of reasoning withreference to the endurance contest? Re-move the objectionable features. May Isuggest the following, which should hepermanently removed and. If the showcan't be run In a particular city with-out these features, DONT RUN TILESHOW:

.tATITII conditions Improving as theyhare been, everybody interzested Inthe circus busirima was of the

opinion that the 1035 season would bethe beet for a number of years. but, ac-cording to reports from circus °Metals.It did not turn out that way. Theystated that the 1934 season was bitterthan the peat year. altho 1936 sea fairlygood.

There were several reasons for theletdown. In the spring shows erosrun-tered a gnat deal of cold and rainyweather. Then along In the summer theextreme heat in some 'odious cut intoreenipts. rtntherrocere. some showsstruck for the cotton section when cot-ton had not yet been picked. And addedto this vas the prevalence of infantileparalyses in Virginia at the time whencircuses wanted to play that State. TheCole BMW, and Hagenbeek-Walleee cir-cuses were among the shows scheduledto play stands In Virginia but had tocancel them. The Cole show later madethe State.

According to reports, some shows didreal well on the season, while othersdid just so-so. But taking the seasonas a whole (not a bad one). it didnot measure up to what was expected.

Ringlings Have CompetitionOne circus was added to the railroad

dam to 1236-Cole Bros. -Clyde Beatty-and the Rengling organization had corn-ponuon for the first time In severalyea: a.

Some drew history was made atRochester. Ind last fall when it wasannounced that a new rail show. ColeBros., would be on the rood in 1035. withJess Adktna rand Zack Terrell at thehelm. Clyde Beatty, animal trainer.who had been with the Harenbeek showfor a number of years, was the featureattraction. His name was timed in thebilling matter and show called ColoBrea. -Clyde Bratty. In aseemblir.o theshow management purchased equipment,home and elephants from George W.Christy; equipment and animals of Rob-bins Eros.' Circus and equipment andanimals from other places. Show startedout on 34 cars. but later five were cutin order that It would move more rap-idly. it was a heavily loaded stow.trawling to one station. For the firstyear the show had a most successfulseason.

Another railroad organization wasplanned to be on tour, that of JohnRobinson IV. of Cinelianati. but owing totithes.. In the 'Robinson lordly it wasdecided not to go ahead with it.

New Trunk ShowsThere were approximately the usual

number of motorized circuses. Severalnew ones were out. Harley Sadler.known in repertoire field. purchased theequipment of Bailey Bete.' Circus. which

had closed. and opened at Tulsa. Okla..August 20.

Bays litre.' Circus. Fred Bum manager,now this snason, closed suddenly at Ar-nArbor, Miele. July 6 end went intoquarters at Sullivan. Inel_ where it via:reorganized and opened there August 16Its Rice Bros: Circlet and Allen KingsWad Aran:tab. Later title and equip-ment were sold by nays to Roy MarchBrydon and King. The middle of No-vember Drydon acquired full control ofthe show.

The Berndt Bros.' Circus was cut atFlora, Ill., during the summer din, tobusiness not having been very good.Scene trucks, seats and big top were sentto eninrters end show then was givenunder menagerie top and animals placedIn Side Show.

Christy Moo' Wild Animal Circus, offthe road for serer -1 years, did not go outthe peat summte, rem did Gentry Bros..'Circus. The Gentry equipment was addto Fred Bays.

Among new heads of departments thepest season were Ralph J. Clawson. man-ager of the Hagenbeck show: ArthurHopper, general agent for the mimeshow, who replaced Joe C. Donahue, whoin turn succeeded George Iletehen uponthe latter:, death: Alfredo Codona.equestrian director of It -W; InertLedgett. equestrian director of RussellBros.' Circuit. It was recently announcedthat J. D. Newman will be the new gen-eral agent of the Colo show. reptaelngFloyd King. who will pilot the Solls-Floto-Pornes Circus to 19.16.

Cole Bros. and Hageribeck-Wallacewere in Chicago the carne time for theiropening..

It was re-ported, covering each other's paper.They also clashed et two Montanaciti s, Helena and Butte. Barnes was atButte June 5 and Helena the 8th. andthe Mix show vice versa.

Prospects for FutureMtho business for circuses during the

post season was not as good as in 1034,due principally to 'climatic conditions.the future for the white -top organiza-tions looks exceedingly bright. Nowthat we hare emerged from the de-pression. employment being on the tn.cream. there Is no reason why circusesshould not obtain their share of thebusiness, not only for the coming sea-son, but to seasons to come. Whenpeople have money and n Rood brand01 eritertaInnsent is offered them theshown will benefit.

There were several new organizationsen tour the past year, as related inanother part of this article. Recentlymention was made in these columns oftwo new small motorised shows for the1436 season and It is likely that othersmay enter the field.

'36 Rodeo ContractStill in a Muddle

NEW TORIC.-Disposition of the 1036contract for the Madison Square GardenRodeo is more nocertain than it hasbeen at any time during the tenure ofthe event In the historic arena on Eighthavenue. There have been 'some toughstance before, notably about two yearsago, when agitators tried to discreditCol. W. T, Johnson. :Inuring on cuttingIn on the top Cokes which the Ban An-tonio rodeo kingpin boa been snioating.The colonel's contract wan renewed for

the 1934 show. anal lw continued Oar-dennt confidence by growing a record1.1r23.000. climaxing with a new recordof 1432.000 for the 19 -day show boldOctober last

What the Garden and others haven'tbeen able to figure out is where to roundup the sterling stock sand the amountthereof -000 and more-owned or con-trolled by the colonel, anon:it the arenamanagement toy around with new bloodor should agitation be renewed. Mean-time. Colonel Johnson 14 belieted to beformulating plans for punkin out rodeonext year which will be emitter thanthe ones produced in New York andBoston. but still large enough to playbig cities. Should hie plans be realized.It is understood that be will use onlythe top stock of the rodeo and featureacts such as the Monty Murphy trainedhorse. Buck. which le owned by thecolonel, and Going Bock to Texas, cattlepageant idea presented at his rodeosthis year.

During an Interview with The StIt.board over a year ago, the colonel said:"As you know, there are a few peoplewho are not responsible trying to chiselto and make any kind of a contractMoat of them have nothing to offer ex-cept A suitcase promotion. There arealso severe] who are trying to get a cutof 36.000 to 310.000 for trying to throwthe contract to someone doe. I are notpaying anybody for any contract. Myshow is running strictly on its canmerits."

Mrs. lifarat's Milk rued was deletedas auspices thin year after a two-yeartieup. A fund rep tried to reach theColonel at the Boston &bow early lastmonth for a huddle but was 1113AUCCONS-.ful. Milk rand ofncials appear to be seton producing a show In opposition tothe Garden, and another person whoseems to be entering the picture is MikeJacobs. promoter of the Joe Louts fightsand projector of the Louts -Paulinfracas at the Oardon recently by --friend-ly" arrangement, entre the BrownBomber la under contract to Jaeobs,and if the Garden wishes to cash in onthe Negro's terrine drawing power ithas to play with Jacob,. who representsthe Twentieth Century Sporting Clubon West 4001 street, a few peon fromthe Garden. Jacobs and the Milk Fundlook like a more than passable combina-tion for the '36 chute doings in NewYork.

Next year Is expected to prove fruit-ful for indoor rodeos in ass: to ten largecities Among them, in the prospectclass. are Detroit, Cincinnati. Miami. We-tran.Cleveland and several pending spots.as well as New York. which may havetwo within a few weeks of each other.Clete:and and Cincinnati are in the Upcertain bracket because of lack of properbuilding accommodations. Detroit hasa big cleft angle in mind_ The townalready has the standout tighter in Louis.the diamond champs in the Tigers andthe proferaional football title-holderain the Lions. It would be nice, they say.to have the World Series Rodeo enactedIn the Auto Ctty. too.

Should Mike Jacobs or the Hearstranks stage a rodeo In New York. Itwould probably more his show fromhere to the fairs in Brockton andtiptingtteld. 14w . and Trenton, N. J.,provided he is awarded the contractsfor the trio, The Brockton date wouldbe in opposition to the Boston Garden.Other /peculation. are going the rounds.but the above represents developmentsin the probable category.

BETTER SEASON HELD DOWNThe Pool

WhirlBy NAT A. TOR

(AU communications to Net A. Too toreof Nero York Once. The iiiiiIXord.)

This column has always urged againstthe prevalent practice of swimmingpools employing the trite slogan.-Bolin in Water pit To Drink." It hasbeen the contention that when you laytoo touch stress on the sanitary condi-tions of your tank you immediatelyrabic a point in the minds of the publicthat may not *Menthe be there. Youthan pet them -thinting about thetechnical aide of water control whichthey ordinarily don't understand. AndIt is a fact that when one doesn't com-prehend a subject he or she becomesskeptical about the whole matter.

Turthermcre. rho I do know a tittlebit about the intricate working,' ofaquatic sanitation. I never could quiteunderstand the meaning of "Swim LeWater Pit To Drink." If you took the.trouble to look back at the columnsgetritod here weekly In the past threeyears you would cileoever that ithas always been suggested to pool op-erator, to refrain from using the Bidslogan. which. to my mind. wee mean-ingless anyway.

Now en expert backs up this depart-ment. lie is Chauncey A. Hiatt. swim-ming pool sanitarlan for the State ofMinot., about whom much wan writtenlast tome. Hyatt. It must be repeated.knows as much. U not more. aboutwater sanitation than any man In thiscountry and it Is Ms opinion. too, thatthe popular pool phrase. "Swim to WaterPit To Drink." is an unwise one -

According to the learned Illinois sani-tary expert, the water we drink le mostcertainly not clean enough for swim-ming. And that in Itself ought to pushthe *god adage into the on ashcan.Imagine advertising that your water isfit to drink and then to learn thatthe water we drink Ls not fit for sw7m-mitsg1

But suppose we let Hyatt explain ithimself. -The water we drink." earnthe sanitarian, "'contains a number ofgerms which are harmful. But when wedrink that water goes down our ailreerrely canal and the stomach is soequipped to fight these germs. with theresult that no harm LA done. The moredeadly germs are, of course, killed inthe proems of puritythe water for drink-ing purposes. Bet should we take thatmime water and attempt to swim in it.the germs which remain would playhavoc with the many parts of the bodywith which tt mane* in contact. Where -an in drinking a glass of water ourthroats and alimentary moan aretouched by the germ. In swimming weexpose our eyes, ears and noses as weltas the entire skin of the body to them.with the further result that the watersire drink is most certainly not fit forvirtrrrnnon

So it seems that a more suitable sani-tation Oman would be: "Swim in WaterBatter Than the Hind You Delnkt"But, of coterie, that too. In my opinion.would be bringing up something thatMould be forgotten altogether.

That round-tebte discussion on swim-trilng pool :mitten at the recent nation-al conreation WIN PO Interesting thatleek of time prevented the last fewUnites from being aired. The subjectof night bathing had just come up whenthe meeting seuourned and It was apity. for many pool men were moat con-cerned with night bathing. what withthe poor results they've had from pastexperiences along these linee. And I.too, was most anxious to hear the va-st:ma opinions on this topic. it havingbeen one of the pet subjects of thincolumn for some time.

However. the the atibteet never mimetet life, the room /teethe to be merited

WHILE the upswing was not as gen-eral as had been anticipatedshortly after the season's open-

ing, there was a pickup in business ofamusement parks. pools and beachesnnd in resort patronage In general. The,nereete was sPotty, being felt more die-unctly In Nome localities' than In others.In many sections no imprommern inpatronage nor revenue was reported.But, all in ail. :935 was heartening tooperators who found a response to spe-cial efforts which they made In ex-ploitation and promotion. Comparedwith three or four years ago, It meantdecided uptrend.

Pre -season trade and the DecorationDay openings brought good tidings andIt was freely predicted that the seasonwould be big. Then came a visitationof bad weather, almost from Coast toCoast. and It was tough Vault for thenext few weeks. putting an end to earlyentiluelaam. Then It was that the mostresourceful managere put on theirthinking cape and literally weatheredthe storm. getting some business, whilemore conservative or Uwe ambitious op -oratory took it on the chin.

New Rides and ActsFree acts and other entertainment

and fireworks In numerous spots wereused much more profusely the pastseason and repo. -t Indicate that thawfeatures more than justified themselves.When new ridirg dortees and other at-trections were installed it was apparentthat their acquisition met public ap-proval end that had not such pulletsbeen pre'uent it would have been omittoo bad. Fireworks did wonders for thenew managerial setup to Lakeside Park.Denver. acts went over big in Easternvote and some in the Middle West andmanagement of West View Park. PEELII-bargts. attributed much of its revenuerise to installation of new rides, to namesome eases in point.

That any plan which will make forincreased amusement park conacioustiermand stimulate gate attendance, are cry-ing needs for the industry is generous-ly and generally admitted. There teastalk at the recent Chicago conventionel the National Association of Amuse-ment Parks. Poole and Beaches of waysand means to propagate nation-wide In-terest in amusement parks, and someof the best brains of the Industry arebearing down on this problem aa neverbefore. it Is not too much to believethat within the next year It la likely ascheme or campaign may bo evolvedwhich will go a tong way to preventwaning interest.

Pierre for FutureA giveaway merchandise plan to pep

I wan put at the **me table at theina.r.quet with Ray Steck. Lake Helium".Mid.

If It were not for hisnight bathing he would not have hadstiocesaftd seasons the peat two geom.lie core most of bin bin, at night.

You pool men who can't get morethan a handful of swimmers after 7o'clock w111 keel over, I know, when Itell you that Ray Steck keeps his poolopen all night and that he gets es manyas 303 and 400 persona to hie so-called"Sun -Rise Swim" at 3 lo the morning.And his tank le in a very small town.

He told me he discovered there area great many persons who love to swimthe very find thing In the morrileng be-fore breakfast.

he keeps open the pool ell night long,playing to different typos of personsall then the day nod night.

Whether you can follow this in yourown section is another matter. It mightpay, however, to study your prospectiveclientele more thoroly and. as Ray Steckhas discovered. you may find, much toyour surprise, that there are a greatmany people who may want to swimjust after lint/thing a round of partiesor as a wake-up tonic ft -rat thing inthe morning.

Ben Austin used to almost give theentire show for Gentry Bros.. Dog &Pony Sbow. Including the concert, andon top of that he beat the bras drumin parade. And was that n march.

About the 'dirtiest- practical Jokeever knew of was played on GeorgeMcCarty when wintering with theWortham Shows at San Antonio. Cleanswas to be married to a lovely girl fromanother Terns any, who was to arriveIn San Antonio the night before thewedding. So. Walter Stanley and othersproceeded to get George pic-kied. andthey, with Jamieson's band. met thebride-to-be at the train. The pooc girldid not know what it wan rill about:wondered where George was. In theressatime they had put a big rattle-snake in Mack's bed. Ile woke up andtried to tear down the door. which hadbeen locked by the jokers. He anallrwas nettled by a belboy, but had thejitters so bad he was, unable to meethis bride-to-be. In the meantime shehad got Imp to the proceedings and beatit back home. Did not want any part 01the show business after her one expe-rience.

Pied Gollmar when general agent ofGollinar Bros. Circus carried two grips.one with his clothes, and the other withhis mileage. The mileage Kelp had abrass chain and padlock on It. Every-one! said. "If you are ever robbed. that'swhat will get it". One day. when *top-ping at the old Wellington. they prowledhis room and out the grip open. Whenthey discovered the contents they threwthe mileage out the window and Itlanded In the alley. I was coming fromtheater and saw ell this mileage blow-ing around, and. of course, on [Mee-t:gating discovered who it belonged to.Picked It up and walked into the lobbyjust as Fred was exhibiting the gainedgrip and offering a reward.

!linking Dollars SpeakBy WM. N. rlNKLE

The statement that "Shawn takemoney out of town" his been drummedInto the coneeiousnees of local mer-chants and civic authorities until conicof them believe It to bo es true as thestatement "The sun rises every day."If there were no argon to follow thestatement It could be Ignored hut fre-quently the action to follow corneae ofa tape In the license fee or a completebarring of tented attractions. and hencecalls for a derisive answer.

The fact that people utter an Illogicalstatement with oonetction mean. greatdifficulty In cliangiug their viewpoint,as their ears may be open but theirminds dosed to convincing arguments.They must be shown In a practical way,and In such a way that the demob -ideation is evidence right In front oftheir ayes.

The system that some *bows have putinto force of having the attaches ofthe show glee the merchant a card stat-ing "You have just been patronizedby a member of the - shows- is lauda-ble. But It does not fully answer, asthe money spent by the show peoplegoes into the register with the rest ofthe merchant's receipts and cannot beIdentified as originating from show peo-ple.

I propose to outline a system where-by not only the merchant.., but thebankers In the towns In which the my-rtles! or circus playa will be appraisedof the fact that SHOW PEOPLE DOLEAVE MONEY IN THE TOWN. andthe evidence will be United statesmoney, wttb the identity of the spender.es clear as If they bad their name*on the money.

My plan calls for the fullest co-oper-ation of all attaches of n show, frontthe least Important member to the man-agement. Kelm effort on the part ofthe management- but the effort Isminalnired when Is realtzed the workthat is entailed in combating a highlicense or opening a closed town. Sincethe idea occurred to me I have madeinquiries to see If it feasible and myconeheston la that it can be carried outsucomishiny.

In most sections of the United Statesthe largest coin In general circulation isthe half dollar. es the silver dollar Isunhandy to carry around. I have talkedto merchants and from the answers theyhave given relative to my question:"Do you get very many silver dollarsIn the course of your hualneaar I findthat the majority of them have neverhad a sliver dollar handed to them overthe counter. I carted my inquiries stillfurther and salted bank tellers If theyreceived veer many salver dollars In thedeposits and the answer has Invariablybeen "Very seldom."

Do you are my point? A scarce cointhat is not In general circulation butgood for its face value and providingunmistakable identification as to thepersons who use them for the purposeof making purchase*.

My scheme is to have all enernbess ofa abow use silver dollars when theymake A purchase. the maraerementthe show either paying part of the sal-ary in silver dollars or exchanging paper"dollars" for the silver once. The peo-ple net the show would have to be tin-preesed with the fact that they areworking for their own benefit as well sefor the management, and anything thatwill tend to reduce hostility will metto their advantage.

"Here's bow It works out! The mer-chant when he receives the coin is awareof an untratiel transaction. As he wouldrarely give out the silver dollars inchange, they would be there when becheek,. Ids cash receipts, a further re-minder of who spent the money, and inthe morning or during the day, whenhe makes his bank deposit, the bankerwill be made aware of a spending en -merit that has entered the community.The comment created would react fa-vorably.

If the management of a show wantsto carry the idea still further en VIM,tisentent In in toad newspaper couldstate: "Tb the merchants of TMrinser dollars you have been recallingIn payment for merchandise have beenspent by members of the - shows."

The system Is worth a trial andthink you wilt get good value for yoursliver dollars_

But there aro no building's of any ohmthere.

The growingsense of foresight and economy prevailedwhen Houston yielded to Dallas becauseDallas has the grounds and leundeigilwhere nil added improvements andbuildings will become permanent andcontinue to serve the State. Tab alsoinsures more pretentious and cost!),structures than if they were to serve foronly the one event. To realise what an

nceomplishrnent ti is one nred merelyconsider the long rivalry between thesetwo cities!

Throwing Expos AwaySince 1843 we have been building ex-

positions and throwing them away aftera brief six months' use. St. Louis Expo-sition. with Its magnificence and splen-dor. is only a memory. Not many cantell just where Chicago's 1490, climax ofcarp:dittoes up to that date, was located.It was as completely obliterated as werescene of the Greek elastics.

The projected exposition of themetropolis of America. at its very In-ception. gratefully acknowledges itselfthe debtor of this Ws City of the Lakes..Had Chicago's 1033 fair failed we ebould.In all probability. not have started at all.and the recovery of the amusementparks of our country would have beenretarded an additional three years andsome would have folded up for 0.11 time.A Century of Progress, followers so close-ly as It did the Philadelphia fiasco. in-spired us with its phenomenal suc-cess as contrasted with the other failure.

We were Oren a new courage and en-thusiasm that could not otherwise havebeen revived for a long time. The Phila-delphia failure, advertised to the world.was a celestas! handicap and enough todiscourage all but the bravest. Chicagoarose from the ashes of despondency.plucked up her courage, shook off herleeches, put her gangsters In jail, defiedthe ghats of the depression. paid herteachers and police, got to work and-gave us the best expesltlon of all time!

New York City will endeavor to profitby the mistakes of past expositions,make as few errors as possible, and emu-late the courage of Chicago. Businessacumen of the bighted order was exer-cised in selecting and proeurtng the lo-cation. Like the Pontine Marshes ofRome this site has lain undeveloped forcenturies. Submerged as most of It is.our park department acquired it atmarsh -land prices. Thus, after reclaim-ing and developing this 1.003 acres, itwill revert In its entirety to the city andrubeequently becomes a civic center, acollege and a general recreational center,thus inaugurating foe the first Un30 analmost 100 per cent mirage.

The expenditure for IsImprovement will be of permanent valueas will that for filling In the land.changing waste Into beauty and twain].nese.

Cross of Newest Ride?Prom its Inception this fair is planned

for a two-year period. 'There will be op-portunities to operate amusements dur-ing the summer previous' to the open-ing. making possible three years of op-eration for our fraternity. New YorkCity has had only one exposition.Nighty -owe years ago. when the patronscame by stagecoach and canal boat, theCrystal Palace was a eucoessful venturewhen New York city had a populationof only 800,000. Now the metropolis hasa larger population by 2-500.0O3 than at-tended the Philadelphia Sesquicenten-nial. What can be reasonably expected inattendance front her 7.430000O and withautomobile, bus. streamline trains, air -;Aimee and steamers, all at the disposalof 130,000.003 Americans. besides thegreater foreign attendance for an expo-sdtion located on the Atlantic seaboard?

The Perris Wheel In Chicago In 1903took In a gross of 5726,000. It was foryears predicted that this figure wouldnever again be equaled. The Sky RideIn Chicago in 1033 rolled up a gross ex-ceeding 8800.000 --and the world not yetout of the depression! Can Now Yorkreasonably expect to produce a gross of

51.000.000 on IS outstanding rtde Ifthere is no war and recovery has set in?Assured of two years' exhibit.. an theStates can afford to send better repro -saltation than ever before. Consmscial.industrial and scientific exhibits arelikewise encouraged. The OlympiaGames could be induced to come theaccond year of this fair. All foreignlibits will be larger and there 11111 bemore nations represented.

May House MuseumWe are progressing at such a rapid

rate that models shown In Chicago threeyears ago will be passe. while each In-dustry will exert Itself to show its latestmodel or masterpiece. It is spaced justfar enough from '33 to give new life andnew rest ice showing the latest develop-ments'. This six yeses intervening be-tween Chicago's and New Yorks expect-tIons will show more progress than wasmade in the half -century following ourCivil War, but, unlike Chicago In show-ing a century of progress, It will showthe progress of all time.

It is not too much to expect that ourown Museum of Public Recreation willbe housed at this expositicet, with per-haps many new acquisitions and withample room for display to show originand evolution of the many and variousoutdoor amusement devloce, many ofthem built to /scale and In operation.The Merry -Do -Round. for Instance, wasfirst built in teed in Paris. France. Siteof the first operation Is still called thePlace of the Carrousel and a little Merry -O0 -Round is still operated there. Theevolution Is a Long and interesting one.You amusement men will want to spendtwo days In OUT museum.

Buffalo's Pan-American exposition seein motion the first great wave of amuse-ment park development, which was halt-ed in 1007 by the panic and againInterrupted. but briefly, by the WorldWar, only to reach Its climax In theyears following the world conflict. Fell.Mg into the leveret depths of gloom andfailures with the world depression after1929. lt was left to be reinvigorated andre -encouraged by Chicago's 1933 success.It should now continue the upsurge nn -pt New York's bigger show lifts It anew.Let us be fired with determinetlon andambition to reach new heights. The1939 exposition will bring great benefitsand encouragement to amusement parksand fairs.

Patriotism Is ObjectThe primary object of this expostitioe

is patriotic. It te to celebrate the see-quicentermisi of George Washington'staking the oath to uphold and defendthe r-ewly termed constitute:a of theUnited States_ This fits in with thenation-wide observance of the oenstltu-Hon's sesquicentennial anniversary in1930, for which celebration all of theStates are preparing. Thus New York'sfair may become the center of the na-tion's celebration and each State willbe fully represented In exhIbtta and pop-ulace. When George Washington tookthe first oath of office and delivered thefirst inaugural address on Use steps ofthe subtreasury in Manhattan, New Yorkwas the first capital of the nation_ It Istherefore fitting that all should unite Inhonoring the adoption of the oonstitu-tine there, as it was fitting to celebratethe anniversary of the signing of theDeclaration of independence In Fiala-dtIphls-

Able and leading men form the com-mittee in charge of this fair. They havepremised to eliminate not only wastebut politics and graft_ They wish to em-pheeme that the fair is not to makemoney nor to advertise Now York. butthat it Is to be an education, a recre-ation and most of an a REDEDICATIONTO PATRIOTISM_ According to an of-ficial spokesman for the committee."MIN exposition is to be dedicated tothe principles upon which this nationwas founded and will advertise to theworld IS uncompromising opposition toall the subversive forces which seek toundermine the fundamental principleson which tills nation rata." With suchan object and such piens, could anyonefail to give whole -hearted support?

Agricultural SituationCondensed Data From December Summery by %J. S. Department of Agriculture,

fillneA770N IMPROVINOTermer" have shed to contend with

the usual bad weather lately in windingup the fall work -cotton picking. cornhusking, etc. The rains and snow havehelped winter wheat over considerableareas but huts delayed seeding In someSouthern sections. Wheat needs mois-ture In both the Northwest and Smith -west More evidence shows up of thedamage done by the October freeze tocorn. potatoes and Southern clops.

The movement of the chief product*to market Is now nettling down to awinter schedule One item of signifi-cance is the revival o: cotton exportsas compared with the very low figureslast fall. Also. the October exportnearer:tent of tobacco compared ,favor-ably with other recent years ILTX1 the*acne la true of apples. Our export satesof pork products and wheat, however,have *brunt to very small figures.

On the whole. the principal farmingregions are better provided for winterthan bus been the case In Ave or sixyears.

The trend et the present time In themerchandise lr.duatry is toward estab-lished quality. The general belief isthat three have been too many bootlegproduces placed on the market, whichbecause of their poor quality imitationhave actually hurt the field in general_

This trend becomes more apparenteach month as new items begin to ap-pear. The demand of the premium pur-chaser Is whether the item is auinufac-tured by an established house andwhether it will meet the requirement*of the general public.

ctOanted: nreez.c.) 6ales TlansAS THE holiday season passes, premium and novelty mer-

chandise firms will be interested in markets that offerincreasing possibilities during the months to come. The

winter months are known to be the most favorable period ofthe year for coin -operated amusement games and the marketin this field may be cultivated during the next few monthswith very favorable prospects.

The national convention and exhibit of the latest amuse-ment devices in the coin -machine industry will be held Janu-ary 13 to 16 in Chicago. This convention is always a signalfor the release of pent-up buying power of the operators ofthese machines, and with the very latest games they go backto their territory with renewed enthusiasm for business. Theyexpect that it will be at least July before the summer heatbegins to drive their customers out of doors.

All of which means that operators of amusement gameswill need premium and novelty merchandise as prizes withtheir games for several months to come. It will be their bestseason and the use of merchandise prizes with coin -operateddevices is constantly growing.

While there is already an established market for premiumand novelty goods in the amusement games field, with severalwell-known firms catering especially to this market, it shouldbe made clear that the possibilities for a much larger use ofpremium and novelty goods is worth careful consideration.The situation is such that the amusement games industry itselfwill prosper by a larger use of merchandise prizes with themodern amusement games, hence the possibilities in cultivat-ing this market with intelligent plans.

It will be necessary for premium and novelty goods firmsto develop some concrete merchandising ideas that may beused by the operators of amusement games. An operator whogives away about 50 midget radio sets each week with hisgames, in a weekly "tournament" plan, had to use hand -let-tered window cards to advertise the merchandise prizes offered.In most cases, operators of the machines use rather crude cardsto advertise their merchandise. It is evident that an oppor-tunity exists for developing window cards and other mer-chandizing plans which operators may use effectively to winpublic attention to the valuable prizes offered. The sportlandsand game rooms have been able to win public patronage byattractive displays of premium merchandise and quality signsand cards used for advertising.

But the individual operator who places his games in from25 to 100 or more retail stores has not had any well -developedmerchandising plans available to guide him in the use of pre-miums. .The digger, target, and similar type machines con-stantly display their merchandise to the public, but the mod-ern pinball games need a practical system of advertising de-veloped in order to promote the wider use of premium goods.Concerted effort by the wholesale merchandise field during thecoming months should lead to some practical plans for build-ing up this business. The increasing market created therebywill be well worth while.

Coin -operated amusement devices are real trade stimu-lators and aid the retail store in moving goods, just as drawingand other contests help to sell goods.

Validity of State and city License LawsDURING the peat year many pitch -

men and other tramline" have hadlegal difficulties and were forced

into ceps:wave Ilttgatien or compelled toquit operations as a result of manyStates and cities pasalng new taxationstatutos and oialinancea. Wane of threerecent laws were passed prima -111y as isdirect result of the prevent Unusualbiasinees conditions. and In other in-siaiems State and city °Mentz have en-deavored to &mist local merchants toavoid outside competition.

Some of thee° laws have been bridvane and enforceable. while many othershave been held void and unconstittl-Mont It is Important to know thatthe higher courts have conalatently heldthat municipalities have no mummeror NATURAL powers to enact valid orril-riencea. but derive 'authority from the&late statutes. Also, the courts' havebead that ordinances properly and legallyexacted are to be STRICTLY construed.In other words. any fair 07 reasonabledoubt as to the extetenoe of the powerof a municipality to pass an ordinancemat be resolved AGAINST the mu -:natality.

Another Important point of the ea-tabinhed law le that a State Statute toeiralid it it violate. the United Statesor State constitutions: or If it riotaio,a United States statute; or if It is un-reasenably restrictive; or If Its enforce -meet is disadvantageous to the public.

A city ordinance Is void If It rietatesthe United States or State conaUtutioruior tinned States statutes; or If It "ro-tates a provision in the municipal ehau-ter: or if It contradicts a State statute:or If It Is unnecessarily restrictive; or ifIt is against public policy and unlikelyto promote and protect the publichealth. morals and welfare of the gen-eral public; or if it farora a particulartime of business. firma or individuals.

Police PowerA munkipatity may. without direct

authority of its Staten constitution orstatute,. enact vend ordimunces metierthe guise of -*pone. power." In fact.police power to constantly exercised byilbstee and municipalities. The extentand limits of the police power have beena fruiteul subject of discussion in thecoarta of nearly every State. It is uni-versally conceded to IncludeTHING essential to the public safety.health and morale and to justify theOeitruction or abatement of whatevermay be regarded as a public nuisance.

Under this so -caned ponce power ithas been held that, by authority of ordi-nances. city officials may enact well -mince» beneficial to the public. Cabvionely. under the guise of protectingthe public Intertete, neither a Statelegislature nor a city council mayarbitrarily Interfere with private busi-ness or Impose unusual and unnecessaryrestrictions upon lawful occupations.Flowerer. not all laws are a proper exer-cise of ponee power, and such Mire arenot final or corscluaive, but may be re -rimed and held void by the courts.

In other words, under the municipalPolice power Mines and acts which areinpuloua to the public may be sup -Primed and prohibited Therefore Any-thing which Is injurious to the public.according to the manner In which it ismenaced and used, may be regulated byordinances or harmed for the purposeof regulation, altho a State law onlyhultrecUy authorters enaction of theendinance.

For example. In Chicago ns. Clark. 220IS. App. 919. It was disclosed that amunicipality enacted a license ordi-nance. Sinter the ordinance conflictedwith a State law the court promptlyheld tbo ordinance invalid and said:

"We think Use State law covers all ofthe matter mentioned In the ordinanceand that it is clear that the require-ments of the ordinance are unnecessary.Since the ordinance conflicts with theState law It. of course. Is void and mustgive way."Discriminatory Ordisumcc Void

The' law is well establidied that anylicense or tax regulation is void whichIA intended primarily to protect localbusiness owners or merchants from com-petition by transient or traveling pitch -men or the like. In other words, taxa-tion laws must be non-discriminatoryand

require payment of exactly the samelicense fees by transients as required tobe paid by local merchants who indulgeIn the tame kind of work.

For illtestration, in the late case ofWhipple vs. City of South ifilwauket.241 N. W. 233. It was disclosed that acity ordinance provides:

-it shall be unlawful for any transientmerchant, solicitor, hawker or peddler. . . to offer to rend, Bell or' disposeof any goods. warm, merchandise.produce or any other thing aboutthe streets. arenues. allays or any placewhatsoever within the cityleihreakee without first having obtaineda license from said city for that pur-pose. . .

It was contended that thin ordinanceis void because it Is diactitinnstoryagainst persons selling goods from out-side the city.

In holding the ordinance void, thecourt said:

"Coniantiently. by reason of that ex-emption in favor of mercantile housenlocated in the city of South Milwaukee,the Impediment or bUrden which it wasproposed to impose by those prohibitoryprovisions upon the plaintiff^ andothers similarly situated is not equallyapplicable to the pursuit* of all engagedIn the same acts under like circum-Aimee+ and conditions. Therefore tine('presidium are diecritninatory as againstthe plaintiffs and others similarly situ-ated. and by reason of that dee-rind:um-Um) they are in vintation of Section I.Amend. 14. U. S. Corset."

Also, in the leadln,i case of Grant/lnavs. City of Chickasha. 0 Pee. (241 747.an ordinance required a license to bepaid by persons who lived outente theatty. No decree was required to nosecured by persona who lived In the city.The court promptly held the law voidand said.

'-Its primary purpose operate* to grantan apparent and real advantage to theresident merchant of the city of Chicka-aha who has an established place ofbusiness within the corporate limits ofsaid city. exempting such merchant froma revenue tax which it seeks to imposeon the outside buelnese by rumen of thefact that such business does not main-tain a place of business within the city.It la discriminatory In its applicationarid In reality attempts to eliminate andprohibit alt competitors who have nofixed or established place of businesswithin the corporate limits of saidcZIt is a classification studiously. aruand comprehensively drawn, but never.Cheese discriminatory and violative ofthe aforesaid provision of the State andfederal constitutions --

Delegation of PowerVarious court, hare held that n city

ordnienoe is void which delegates powerto an °Metal to withhold or trout.license accordinz to hi. own judgmentIn other words, a valid law must bewritten so that all persons and mer-chants are equally affected by its pro-vision*.

Therefore the courts will not hold aState or city law valid which merelyspecifies the amount of the license feeand authorizes the city offleials to usetheir own judgment in liaising or re-fusing to tame the license. In order thatthe license law is vend it must clearlyetipuLate the circumatenoes under whidhthe license shall be granted and theconditions under which a license may berelined.Distinction Eteltrern Intrastate

and Interstate TransactionsIt is well known that no State or mu

tie:Valley may enact a valid taxationlaw applicable to a person transactinginterstate business. It to well knownthat interstate commerce relate. to busi-ness tritnasieted between citizens of dif-ferent State'. As to the exact characterof interstate transactions, with relationto intrastate transaction& a great dealof argument and controversy lies existed_As a general rule. however, a aeries Ofacts or transactions which ultimatelycomplete a business transaction betweencitirene of different States is purely In-terstate business, sltho one or more actsare completed Within a State.

It la well -settled Law that interstatecommerce Includes the interstate pur-chase, sale, teem and exchange of com-modities.. The fact that an interstatetransaction M not continuous or a por-tion of the transaction In completedintrastate diem not in the least affectthe interstate character of the trona-action, provided the relationship of theevents Is continuous', &litho delayed.

FOr illustration, a traveling pitchmanor solicitor is not subject to local taxa-tion Mine And, contrary to the opinionof a majority of a pitchman orsolicitor who lecta money with anorder is not linble foe payment of alicense fee if his employer Is locatedoutside the State and the goods areshipped into time State.

For example, In Use recent case ofMills vu. City of Portland, 268 U. S. 223.the Supreme Court at the United Stateshad occasion to thoroly consider the.queation. in this Cant a municipalityenacted an ordinance requiring allsolicitors who collected a deposit onorders for future delivery to pay a highlicense.

A company located outside the Statecontented the validity of the law. It isinteresting to know that the highercourt held the ordinance Invalid, saying:

"The negotiation of sales of goodswhich are In another State for the pur-pose of introducing them into the StateIn which the negotiation is made isinterstate commerce. Manifestly. nolicense fee could have been required ofappellant's *elicitor, if they had traveledat Its expense and received their com-pensation by direct remittances from it.And we are unable to see that the bur-den on Interstate commerce IA differentor Una became they are paid then re-tention of advance partial paymentsmade tinder definite contracts negoti-ated by they:, Nor can we accept thetheory that an expressed purpose to pre-vent possible fraud* in enough to justifylegtalatIon which really interferes withthe free flow of legitimate interstateco:nines:en

On the other hand. a ealeeman whopert: haute his stock and sells it on thespot never has protection under inter-state laws. In order to bo clamed as anInterstate seller It must be shown thatthe teller take* order's and later makesdeliveries from a stock shipped to himfrom another State,

AMUSEMENT Maa-IINEf, De/lad/Ile/1oz Opezatou, Jobhea, Dt'lhibutoz1 and Manufactawt...4_

by WALTER W. HURD-Communication* to Wood. Bldg.. Randolph and !harbor, Striate. Chicago

RETAIL MEMR OPERATOR:-An article addressed "To the Re-

tail Merchants of America." published by The Billboard,should be read by every merchant in whose store you may.have an amusement game.

The retail merchant for the past few years has found hissales decreasing. General business conditions may be re-sponsible for some of this. Trends in the merchandising fieldindicate that the merchant must find new methods of stimu-lating business. Pinball games have given thousands of mer-chants just the stimulus needed, but in more and more terri-tory minorities arc seeking to drive the amusement gamesfrom the retail stores. These minorities hold various objec-tions to the modern games, most of which arc based upon alack of information on the principles involved.

Politicians may also be influenced against the games, andunless you start fighting for your business now you will findconditions in your territory such that your business futurewill be definitely jeopardized.

Pinball games put money into circulation and circulationof money is one of the great needs of the day.

Enlist the aid of every retail merchant in your community.Call this matter to the attention of your fellow operators.Have your associations take immediate steps and leave noth-ing undone to enlist the retailer's aid in creating the right kindof public opinion in favor of your games.

Let your friends know the important part the amusementgames have played in keeping local business going. As badas conditions have been, it would certainly have been manytimes worse had retail merchants in many cases not had extrasources of money such as the amusement games displayed intheir store. in the face of increasing taxes, decline in salesand other factors, the pinball game has been an added sourceof revenue_ No investment of any kind was required of themerchant. A professional operator-usually a local citizenwell known in the community-installed on a perceqtagebasis the type of game the merchant requested. with profitscreated by the machine divided between the merchant and theoperator.

The profits obtained from the games have enabled manya merchant to meet his rising cost of doing business. Thegame helped him to increase his unit of sales. It stimulatedthe sale of many kinds of merchandise when merchandiseprizes were given for high scores_

The games helped him to get better acquainted with hiscustomers. and when his customers knew him they gave himall their business.

Instead of loitering on the street, young men were led intothe store in the evenings to enjoy pinball with their friends, un-der the supervision of the local neighborhood merchant. Thesegames have done much to eliminate corner gangs and thesubsequent evil which these corner gangs fomented.

How much better it is that these young men gather toplay pinball in the local store, under the eye of a merchantwho knows them and who knows their parents, than in manyother places today which suggest evil tendencies of variouskinds.

These are some factors in the partnership of the retailmerchant and the professional operator. Mr. Operator. getbusy and talk up these things. Boost the merchant and hewill boost your games.

LEO J. KELLY.Sales manager Exhibit Supply Company. Chicago.

CHANTSThe time has come for operators, jobbers. distributors

and manufacturers to start fighting for the retail merchantsof America. They have a right to stay in business as otherbusiness enterprises do, and to adopt business aids which amechanical age may bring forth.

The retail merchant is generally known in his local com-munity as a man with good reputation and character beyondreproach. The operators who have helped merchants toweather the depression should also become interested in hispresent-day problems and help him to gain his businss rights.These rights include that of keeping amusement games in hisstore, the same as he would fight to kccp his coin -operatedtelephone service for the accommodation of customers.

There are various methods used by all sorts of enterprisesto boost business. Bank nights, screen, free deals, premiumsof all kinds and various contests are used freely to promotebusiness. The pinball game has also proved its worth tothousands of merchants in this field. Why should the mer-chant, who is usually a property owner and taxpayer, be de-prived of the income and business aid of the pinball games?These games have definite skill and are no different frombowling alleys, ping pong, billiards and other games wherescience and skill are required to play the game.

In many towns and cities where operators have been forcedto take machines out of stores it has been found that salesdecrease and general business declines to the point of beingserious for the merchant_ We need these merchants in ourAmerican system and the operating profession must take uptheir cause.

In one town in particular where there are 16.000 locationsfor pinball games it is estimated that the total value of theinvestment these merchants have in their stores and propertywould be well over SI00.000,000. These merchants find amuse-ment games a decided aid in maintaining their property andinvestments, and these investments are a large part in stabiliz-ing the business life of every community.

Opposition to these games comes from people who evi-dently do not consider the methods used in modern business.Radio programs in Coast to Coast broadcasts promote allkinds of contests with prizes offered to the winners. Thesecontests are used by large firms and the local merchant needssomething similar to stimulate his local trade. But the localmerchant gets a different story from public officials in manycases. The local merchant must not be permitted to use any-thing to stimulate business, they say in effect. Certainly thisis not fair to the smaller business enterprises which have beena foundation stone in American life since the pioneer days.

Due to modern competitive conditions and the wide useof contests by large firms, it is almost imperative that thelocal merchant have trade stimulators to get his share of busi-ness. The pinball games have already proved their worth inthis field and merchants in every town and city want themfor their value in increasing trade.

It is time for manufacturers, distributors, jobbers andoperators to join hands with the retail merchants of thecountry and fight for their mutual business rights.

No HealthyFairWhenCommunityIs Not Made To Know Value of It

(Confirmed fen= peon 99)On Business Basis

We have the Kornai Free Pair on abusiness bests. During the last fouryears we have paid the interest on ourbonds and have reduced the Indebted-nesse on the grand stand.

/ know that many lairs are involvedIt a political way, yet / benere that thefair secretary who bows his back andapplies inertness methods oars win overenough of the thinning potfrical figura,of the State to oarry his work to a truceores/211 conctusfort

It 11 my thought that if a fair is tomake progrese It must make Improve -meats in its own plant every year. Im-mediately after the 1033 fate our boardof managers mapped out is building pro-gram. After we completed the plan webegan to look around far funds. Wefinally got hold of some federal reliefmoney, tore out ail of the ramshackleeating house. on our fairgrounds andreplaced them with attractive stonestructures.

Wo put new roofs on all burbling.that needed them -418.000 worth ofroofing matront on the buildings madethem look like new. We used relief'labor. Every building was given twocoats of paint.

In 1935 we again took edventnge ofthe federal relief, tore down our stock -judging pavilion and built a new onewith a non large show ring. We builta new people's pavilion with a seatingcapacity of 1,500, and In that structure.built of native atone. provided a roomfor the U. S. Department of AndellIttliviexhibit.

To allow the boys and girls of Kansasthat we are squarely behind the 4-HClub movement, we built them a new4-11 Baby Beef Building of entire atoneand over one part of It arranged recrea-tional quarters for them. We also builtan addition to our poultry building, sowe feel that we received many berientafrom relief -project money.

The people of Kansas began to takepride In the work. and the fair graineda measure of support that wo know isinvaluable.

Naturally every person in fair workoresstantly Is on the alert for ways ofimproving the educational acliirttiee ofthe exposition. Sometimes it geenli tome that we concentrate blindly on this

work and fail to give sufnceent conald-eration to our entertainment programaUnfortunately, the major portion of mylife has been devoted to the chow bad -neon and I know there was a feeling inKansas that I might play entertainmentabove all other fair actIvItifts. but I wasnot born In the show bintnerea. I firstraw the light of day on the rolling hillsof South Dakota-lived and worked ona farm-and in those early years gainedan experience that gives me some rightto talk about the likes and dislikes ofa farmer.

Patrons' Dual PurposeThe thousands of men, women and

children who come to our fans comewith a double purpose. Most of themare taking a vacation, but desire to em-ploy their time profitably and entertain-tr.gty. The spirit of contest and goodneighborliness prompts them to bringthe exhibits from their farms and fire-sides and share their knowledge withothers. At the same time these sturdypeople want to be entertained In a !linn-ets". way. They are not going to be@ attend with the hurdy-gurdy ballyhooOr 1808. The radio. concerto highways.fast automobiles. airplanes and ststerri-line trains have enlarged and enlight-ened the field of entertainment for eventhese In oncr remote places.

It is my belief that every fair shouldtry to obtain the best passible entertain-ment In front of its grand stand andon Its grounds. We should present onlythat entertainment which is clean andwholesome - something that even thesmallest youngster can see and enjoy.

also believe that no flat joints of anykind should be allowed and that gamesshould be kept dean at all times. Itmyna trouble rind It builds good will.

Each year since I have been secretaryI have tried to improve the entertain-ment features of our fair. The fact thatout 1035 'Thursday night grand -standreceipts were more than the nightgrand -stand receipts of the entire 1931fair week demonstrates that If peopleget the kind of amusement they wantthey will patronize the grand -standprogrem.

One of the moat perplexing thingsconfronting 11-1 is the speed program forfair week. Automobile race days attractsplendid crowds, but all we get to dowith the money Is to turn around andhand It out In purees for hone races.

When I hear the gong wench starts an-other trotting or pacing rate. I involun-tarily reach for a red penciL No oneenjoy* a harness race more than I. butno one's hair risen quicker than minewhen I we three horses and a dummyfourth lining up for a start. After thismeeting I would Like to hare someoneoder some encouraging words on thissubject.

To O//s©t PropagandaDuring the past five years Calm have

crowed high hurdles. They have won agreat light over drought and depression.We who operate them are in a strongposition to offset any propneands thatmight be forthcoming to the effect thatfairs are not essential, because we knowthat much wee said and done In severalLegislatures in the drought section to tryto declare moratorturne on fairs untilconditions in the country were better.And when I talk about droughts I wantyou to know that we who come fromTexas, Oklahoma and Kansas come fromthe heart of the "Dust Bowl," and ourtrials and tribulations durtnn the pasttwo years have really been enormous.However, we have carried on and.strange as it may seem, all of us hadprofitable years In spite of the duststorms.

Truly it has been said that fiats arethe timekeeper, of progress. They stim-ulate the enemies and minds of peo-ple. The people in our territory havelearned to know and believe that ouragriculture and live -stock fairs wereoriginated for the purpose of coenpari-son and, I think, the people in the live-stock business understand had tt notbeen for the show rine at our fairsthere would hare been but little Leanprovement in any class of live stock.Pairs hare for their objective the ad-vancement of our country and they offeran opportunity for a liberal education.In Hernias we know that the mmsjorttyof people over the State rate the KansasFree Fun on a par with our leading in-stitutions of learning. We have a defi-nite service to render agriculture andlire stock. the backbone industries ofour State, and with the continued sup-port of our people, we shall improvethis service.

Itepabitte a pinball or table frame atono time was a very monotonous sob.But now. Once dry cells. lighes, etc..art being used repairing is a differentstory.

Strange as it may seem. there are eta]=MOT operates* who do not know whichis the positive or negative pole of adry cell. Por them lot me explain. Thepositive pole 1. always In the center ofthe dry cell, while the negative poleis always on the ride of the cell- at-tached to the rine. The positive Ls thelive pole and the negative is the groundpole.

The most common dry -cell hookupused far pia games is the series hookup.The next common is the combined molesand parallel hookup. The least commonis the parallel hookup. The series hook-up Increases the voltage, which is thepower of the cell. The parallel hookupincrease* the amperage. which is thelife of the cell. Therefore the serles-parallel hookup inceeases both voltageand amperage. A dry Cell has aboutl5 volts and about 35 amperea. there-fore if throe dry cells are hooked up Inaeries the combined strength is about4% volts and about 33 amperes. Ifhookup in series and parallel Isle ormore dry cells would have to be Used)the strength would be 4% volts and 70amperes.

To book up dry cella In aeries connecta wire from the positive pole of one cellto the negeUve pole of the other coil.To make It clearer. connect a wire from

the poeltive pole of cell No. 1 to thenegative pole of cell No. 2. Then con-nect smother wire from the parities:, poleof cell No. 2 to the negative pole ofcell No. 3. Thee leaven the negativepolo of cell No. 1 and the positive poleof cell No. 3 empty. Tbeao poles areused by the two wires leading into themachine. Connect one of the wires toeach pole and the circuit Is completed.

To book up dry cells In parallel con-nect all the positive poles together andall the negative poles together. connectone of the wires that lead into themacblne to the negative polo of thefirst tell and the other wire to thepositive pole of the hat cell.

To hook up dry cells In series andparallel Is much teeter to do than toexplain. because there are different waysof doing It to got different remits.For Instance. six cells can be hooked upto the strength of 4% volts and 70amperes or the strength of 3 volts and103 amperes- 7h get the VA volts and70 amperes strength divide the ale cellsinto three groups of two cells each.Hook up the first two colts to parallel.the second two cells In parallel and thethird two cells in parallel. Then con-nect one of the positive poles of the firstgroup to one of the negative poles of thesecond group. then connect one of thepositive poles of the second group toone of the negative poles of the thirdgroup. Connect one of the wino thatlead into the machine to n negative pee:,of the first group and other wire to apositive pole of the last group.

To get 3 volts and 105 amperesstrength divide the six cells Into twogroups of three cells each_ Hook up thefirst group In parallel end the /secondgroup in parallel. Then connect one ofthe negative poles of the first greup toone of the positive poles of the secondgroup.

manufacture; seems to build hla Ma-chin* a little different than the others.almost every machine has a differentnumber of dry cells. However, if any-one who wants a diagram of the hookupof tiny particular machine will write tome I will be glad to oblige.

One of the most Important tools foran operator to have today la an am-meter. Some operators use a bell to testdry cello thinking that if the boll ringsthe cell 1 good. That Is not so. Theonly time a cell will not ring a bell isWhen the cell la completely dead. A cellmay not register even one ampere whentested with an emmetes, but still theremay be enough Ilfe in it to ring a bell.If you bass not already got an am-meter go out and buy one. Then Itthe lights do not light or the electro-magnet dote not throw the ball withenough force test the dry Cells. Seethat the reading on the ammeter is highenough for that typo of machine, be -father Boner machines require snore powerthan others. By all means do not touchthe contact points until you are thorolyconvinced that the trouble lice there.

If the dry cella are run down do notreplace only one or two. Replace all. be-cause a aeries of cells is only as strongas its weakest cell. One weak cell°Zpull down a whole series.

A leaking dry cell can do a machinelot of harm_ The acid corrodes every-thing It gets on. When a cell leaks re-move It immedlately. wipe up the acidand then walls off everything the acidtouched.

A leaking dry cell can be caused bya hard jar, short circuit or the clampthat holds It In place is too tight, caus-ing the sine to split. Most always whena. cell leaks the other cells of the hook-up will be found dead.

After replacing the cells the firstthing to do is to make sure that thereIs no short circuit. To do this take abell and connect a wire to each post.Disconnect the leading wire of the nega-tive pole of the dry cell sod spies, Itto one of the bell wires. Take the otherbell wire and connect It to the negativepolo of the oell. Open the switch (onsome machines the sliding panel ham tobe pushed In to set the timer or clockIn motion): if the bell rings there is ashort circuit. U a sheet circuit doesexist it can generally be found *OberIn the wire splicing around the mechan-ism. the switch or tinder the staple..

Do not keep a nese:111ns that is oper-ated by dry cells too near a stove orradiator, because heat harms the cells.:educes the amperage- To get the beatresult. from dry cells the terripereture ofthe room should be about 70 degrees.

When a machine that operates by drycalls goes out or order the first thingto do la check the cells. U the troubledoes not lie there check all the contactpronto Then If the trouble et.111 existscheek all the wire, for a break.

By checking the dry cella I do notmoos only to test the amperage. but5100 to make sure that all the Mumare held rightly In their places by thepole meta. I have seen dry cells !exec -dup perfectly: that Is. -- ter ea lookingat thee_ was oeneerned, atilt they didnot supply any current to the machineAfter teatime I found that one of theeonnecling wires did not contact thedry -tell pole properly, thereby causingnn Inonmpletr circuit. I found thetrouble by using a bell. I connected oneof the bell wires to the negative poleof the first cell aced touched the otherbell wire to the positive pole of thelost cell. The bell did not ring, sotouched the positive pole of the nextcall with the bell wive still the belldid not ring. tio I did the Name thingto the next cell and the bell rang.Therefore I knew that the trouble wanIn 'lie connection between that cell andthe one I had bested before it.

To find a break in wire take a drycell, three wires and a bell. Connectone of the bell poles to one Of the cellpaten with one wire. Connect the sec -oral wire to the other pot* of the belland the third wire to the Otber pole ofthe cell. Take these two wire& rindplace one on one end of the wire to beVoted and one on the other owl. If thebell aisles the 'rare le not broken. U the

bell does not ring do the /tame a littlefarther down the wire. Keep on testie4so until the bell rings. When that hap.pens the break la In between the listand next to the Lost testing points.Always remember when testing or coo.nesting a wire to swap* off all teeInsulation from that particular place.

The contact points In order to turn.Lion properly must be kept clean_ Attea machine has been In use a while thecontact points generally become Monor less carbonteed. This la caused bythe little spark. that accrue every ternthat contact le made. When this hip.pens file the carbon off with an ignlOoor very tine fife. Be very careful zoito file off the little contact nippltaAfter filing oft the carbon see to it thatthe contact points are not too Ear spanor too near each, other.

There aro many different makes of

dry celLe on the market today. But eaall of them are to be recommended repin -game use_ Do not buy a particiferbrand of dry cell because It Ls eleseepa,because in the long run It will oast etcmuch more than the better grade. Hoothigh-pressure salesman will try to adyou a dry cell by showing you that Iregisters 45 amperes on the ainmeta.Do not buy it.

NEW YORK. Dec. 21, ---Paul Gerber. ofGerber & Glitso Distributing Company.Chicago. paid a flying otsit to the Me-ter/ of Dill Itablon, International Mute -scope Reel company. Inc.. this ctty, andwas surprtsed to tee what he claims themost rerolutioaary clime since the de-Volopmeot of the pin game -and thegame which ho believes will be instru-mental In bringing back even greaterplay than WA* experienced by the troll:a-try during the height of the pin -;;nonepopularity. Strange as It may seem.the game itself is as old as bagatelle."Wily didn't we think of this before?"is going to be the question mired trymanufacturers and operators when theyace It, joist as they did when the pinMice made Ha first appearance. Yourgreat great grandfather played thisgame -ask dad, he knows.

Paul says that his burry dash frontChicago to ase Bill Roblin about lmme-dtate of the Photocestic ma-chine has been made well worth whileby being able to ace this new game. 11.viewed It alth pleasure In the Innersanctum of the Mutoecope experimentaldepartment.

Paul Is simply wild In his praise of thegame. Ho sold that If be could havethe game at this time It would allowhim to reopen CO:Wit:one In his owncity. Ile claims that it la the first andonly game of skill which has ever beenpresented to the coin -machine industry.He also says that the principle of thegame Is one with which the public hasbeen familiar for a greet many years.and that anybody would instantly knowhow to play the game. He believes thatthis new game will bring the same reac-tion to the industry which was coaledby the Introduction of Contact.

lie proudly stated that ho la ociastd-ered somewhat an expert critic, on garnetsIn general and that he absolutely stakeshis reputation on this new lifutosoopegame as the greatest the Industry hashad In many years.

Bill Rabkln. rennewhat modest to themidst of all this loud praise from theenthustinette Paul Gerber. stated thatthe lame would not be displayed, evenin this city. until the opening day of theComing convention at Chicago. Dillsays that he really was keeping thegame hidden and had Intended to springIt as a greet surprise at the show, butthat since Paul arrived he has been con-vinced. because of Paul'a enthusiasm.that some advar.ce notification of thesurprise that Mutoecope has in Wire bemade known to the Industry in general.

Employees of the bfutoacope amanita -Mot claim that Gerber has actually beengoing about the factory waving his armsand talking aloud in his effort to find aauffIctent number of adjectives to de-scribe the game. In fact. one employee,stated ho heard Gerber actually rehearseWe first advertisements for the gamealoud- thru glazed and happy eyes.

Paul to no confiner:1 this new Moto -scope game. filth° very simple, is thegreatest this Industry heel ever won thathe also sold It will bring a new era tothe coin -machine Industry and that thisera will prove the most beneficial to the
