THE EXHIBITOR 9 U-Int. distribution execs C. J. Feldman, western division head; Lou Levy, Des Moines manager, and Foster Blake, district chief, welcome Shelley Winters and Joe Besser to Des Moines' bow of "Feudin', Fussin', and A-Fightin'." Campaign for "Man-Eater of Kumaon", New York Winter Garden, was good, and old-timers in the trade rubbed their hands with glee, and mur¬ mured, "We've got showmanship again." This is the movable theatre front. "Tap Roots" had a big territorial world bow centered in Philadelphia, with the stars on hand. Here Van Heflin is made an honorary delegate to the Democratic convention from North Carolina by its Senator Clyde Hoey. Pat Varner, chosen "Miss Mermaid" in the national beauty contest conducted for "Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid", is seen at the Hollywood, Atlantic City, with, right to left, J. J. Scully, U-l; G. Schwartz, U-l; Harry Waxmann. A special screening of "Man-Eater" was held at the Park Avenue for mem¬ bers of the Adventurers Club and Explorers Club. Renowned travellers are interviewed in the lobby by Pat Barned, WJZ, which covered the event. A. H. Blank, president, and G. Ralph Branton, general manager, Tri States Theatres, hosted Marjorie Main, center, and other personalities at a dinner in Des Moines in connection with "Feudin', Fussin', and A-Fightin'." <**, August 18, 1948
