Being fairly well acquainted with Mr. Grotte's section of the town, we think it offers possibilities for some good exploitation angles, and we are sure that if that is the case Len is taking good care of them. Are we right, Len? Give us the dope on the "sitcheashun", will you? Wear Your Club Pin ! ! ! A. S. GOLDSMITH is the manager of the Majestic Theatre in Perth Amboy, N. T. In his town, competition to see who leads the showman list along the exploitation line is keen as there are a number of crackerjack showmen operating there. As Mr. Goldsmith is just hooking up with the Club we feel that he should send us in a photo of himself to start off his first contribution, as we hope he will be very active. Oke, "A. S."? Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! ANDREW J. GOLDBERG is the manager of the Hawthorne Theatre in Newark, N. J. We think that his town is pretty well sewed up as regards a 100% enrollment. And if that's the case, competition ought to be pretty keen. However, we'd like to hear what you are doing to bring them up to the box-office window, Andrew. Let's have a view of your methods and at the same time include your photo so that we can give you a regular introduction. ■ '—Wear Your Club Pin! ! I SYDNEY T. BURRELL is the manager of the Strand Theatre in White Plains. N. Y. He is handling the house for the Loew chain and, we understand, doing a very capable job of it. We'd like to know some more about you, Sidney. Give us the low-down on yourself and the way things are going up in your part of the state, will you? ■ Wear Your Club Pin! ! t NAT SALANDER manages the Hillside Theatre in Jamaica, Long Island, N. Y. He is located in an up and coming part of Long Island and it affords him ample opportunity to display the showmanship that has characterized his time in the business. We suspect that he is turning out some great stuff and we hope he is going to pass it along to us. What say, Nat? ELMER HECHT manages the Isis Theatre, Pensacola, Fla., for the Publix outfit. Mr. Hecht is one active showman; and there are very few opportunities that he lets go by to plug his house. If you'll keep your eye on future issues we think you'll pick up some good slants on show-selling. And listen, Elmer, how about your photo? Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! ■ CHARLES F. HOLSCHER is the manager of the Paramount Theatre in Monroe, La. He has been in the show game for a number of years and is well qualified for the position he now holds. From what we understand, according to the stories that reach Club headquarters, Mr. Holscher is turning out some good work. Well, Charlie, we'd like to see some of it because we are sure it will merit passing along. How about sending some in to us? ' -Wear Your Club Pi CHARLES BREWER manages the Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville, Tenn. Since he has been located at the house, Brewer has been giving some exhibitions of great showselling. As this is right in line with the rest of our Tennessee enrollment who also are very active, we look for some stiff competition to see who will reach the top rung first. Keep us posted. Charles. -Wear Your Club Pin! O. G. FINLEY, the manager of the Victory Theatre in Tampa, Fla., is another showman who really needs no introduction, especially since his work has been seen so frequently on our pages. But you know the rule, Mr. Finley, everyone has to go through these mystic portals at some time in his illustrious career. And now that you have passed the barriers don't let up on your activity. You can increase it though by sending us a photo of yourself. -Wear Your Club Pin! ! !■ JAMES H. SKIFFINGTON is the manager of the Nelson Theatre in Springfield, Mass. Mr. Skiffington's work has appeared several times on our pages so a number of his fellow members are already acquainted with his work. But, unfortunately, they don't know what he looks like, and as the only remedy for this is a photo of himself, together with a little dope on his career, we hope he will oblige. ■Wear Your Club Pin! ! !■ JOSEPH FELDLUN is the manager of the Kameo Theatre in Brooklyn, N. Y. He is the latest of the Brooklyn showmen to hop on the band wagon and shoot in a membership application to the Round Table Club, and some of our most active members are being found in that part of the country, which, in view of the fact that we are rapidly nearing the 100% enrollment mark, means something. Welcome into the Club, Joe, and let's hear from you. Photos of Members! THE Club is anxious to publish photographs of every member and would, therefore, appreciate receiving as many as possible for use in future issues of the Club columns. If you have not already done so, PLEASE send us your own photo at once. Thank you.
