Exhibitors Herald (1927)

March 19, 1927 EXHIBITORS HERALD 33 And She Was Satisfied “In association with Publix theatres?” the lady on the left inquired after reading “Balaban & Katz present” upon an Oriental theatre trailer, “What — who — are Publix theatres?” “Why don’t you know?” replied her companion, “that’s Lubliner & Trinz.” Barton Booked Back Lee Barton Evans, American concert tenor who has been appearing in stage presentations in and around Chicago for the last two years, has been booked to play a return engagement over all B. & K. and L. & T. theatres and opens in a new Art Kahn show at the Harding theatre this week. Stanley and Lee Repeat Stanley and Lee, two attractive steppers from San Francisco and another Paul Ash “find,” were held over at the Oriental theatre for another week after making their first appearance to Chicago audiences last week. The girls were discovered by Ash at the Granada at the same time Milton Watson, his ace singer, was giving singing concerts. Not to Mention Piano! Buck and Bubbles, colored entertainers and popular Chicago presentation artists, are now playing their third return date at the Oriental theatre after appearing in other B. & K. and L. T. houses for several weeks. These boys have become one of the best box-office attractions for picture houses in Chicago through their clever comedy, talking, and singing and dancing turn. Lang and Voelk at Uptown Lang and Voelk, two well known harmony singers and a standard presentation offering who just completed a two weeks’ engagement at the Oriental, Chicago, are being featured in Bennie Krueger’s new show at the Uptown and Tivoli. The team will repeat the time over all B. & K. and L. & T. houses after this date. White-Morrison, Perhaps Davey White and Dorothy Morrison, both presentation artists who have been friends for several years, met again while playing on the bill with Bennie Krueger at the Uptown and Tivoli theatres, Chicago. They are now very friendly. In fact. Dame Rumor says that Dan Cupid is busy with his bow, and from present reports, it won’t be long now. Davey and Dorothy will not deny nor admit the report, except saying that they are going to do a “double” act together soon. Maybe it will be for life, who knows! Only Feminine Organist Miss Basel Cristol, feature organist rotating with Bennie Krueger’s stage shows at the Tivoli and Uptown, is the only woman organist on the staff of Balaban & Katz playing on the main shift. Miss Cristol is perhaps one of the few women players who cues her own pictures. She has been with the firm three years and formerly gave Sunday noon concerts at the Chicago theatre. Rita Owen in Chicago Rita Owen, New York picture house entertainer, is playing a lead-part in “FooHes of 1927,” the new Bennie Krueger show. After appearing at the Tivoli and Uptown, Miss Owen will play all other B. & K. and L. & T. theatres in Chicago. Stock Players Doubling Sydney Grant, Hollis Devaney and Gertrude Lang, former principal players of Ascher Brothers Sheridan theatre stock company, are now making a tour of all Ascher houses in a vaudeville turn before returning to New York for new engagements in Broadway productions. Terry to St. Louis Leo Terry, featured organist who resigned from the Chicago Piccadilly last week, has gone to St. Louis to visit his brother, Tom Terry, befort, taking over his next console. Tom Terry is featured soloist at the Missouri. — wanted — THEATRE MANAGERS Exceptional Opportunities for presently employed theatre managers with big, live, middle west theatre company.
