KRIER is the manager of the Columbia Theatre in Davenport, la., and judging from the work being turned out by him in Davenport we gleaned that he is a very active showman. As our organization is composed of some of the most active men in the business we know that Mr. Krier is going to fit right into the picture. And talking about pictures we'd like to have a picture of you, John, and a litle dope about yourself so that we can give you a regular intro on these pages. Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! EVANS B. DAVIS manages the Rialto Theatre in East Rochester, N. Y. Though we don't recall, at the moment, ever being in Mr. Davis's town, we feel that he must have plenty of chances for displaying all kinds of showmanship. In order to set us straight on your work Evans why don't you give us a line on yourself and at the same time include your photo with it? Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! A. EUGENE WILSON is the Assistant Manager of the Joie Theatre in Ft. Smith, Ark. He has been in the show business for a number of years and handled the Lyric Theatre in Jefferson, Texas, for three and a half years alone. With a showman background such as he has, Mr. Wilson should be able to keep us lined up on some good exploitation angles. So keep us in touch with your work, Eugene, in order that wo may know what Mr. Brownlee and yourself are doing. SAMUEL T. HOFFSTETTER is the Assistant Manager of the New Delancey Theatre in New York City. Located right in the heart of a district where exploitation should be easy we feel that Samuel is going to turn out some good work. And from what Mr. Macks has to say about it, we think that before long he'll be ready to handle a house by himself. Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! AL. H. EICHORN manages the Central Theatre in West Hartford, Conn. We number a great many showmen from New England on our rolls and we are indeed glad to welcome Mr. Eichorn into the organization.

Oke? Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! GEORGE SUMPTER manages the St. George Theatre in Framingham, Mass. Mr. Sumpter's application boosts our New England enrollment up still higher and if he is going to keep in step with the rest of the showmen who make up the live-wires from New England he will have to display some fast showmanship. From what we know of Mr. Sumpter we feel that he is capable of holding his own when it comes to merchandising and we hope he will keep us posted on his work. And, listen, George, how about a photo of yourself with your next contribution. Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! FREDERIC H. SCHADER is the Publicity Director of the Fox Theatre in Detroit, Mich., and if you'll recall, we ran a story a short time ago stressing the great work that is being turned out at his house.

Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! DAVID WALSH is the manager of the Strand Theatre in Pittsfield, Mass. Being a showman who has had many experiences in the business, Mr. Walsh is fully qualified for the position he now holds and the work he is turning out in Pittsfield would do credit to any showman in any part of the country.
