Exhibitor's Trade Review (Nov 1924 - Feb 1925)

December 13, 1924 "THth The Independent Distributors Moon-Beams A red headed hobo with a harelip and a cowslip mosied into the e itonal rooms of this here now office and after removing a cigar butt from a vest pocket and lighting it carefully, allowed that he was a mean guy on poetry, rimes and general literature. Inasmuch as he sort of stuck a chip on his shoulder, verbally speaking, and inasmuch as we have a reputation of our own to maintain as regadr poetry, rimes and whatnots, this pink sunset naturally roused our sporting blood a notch or so up and we spoke as follows : "We have a column to get out in the next hour and we also need one first class haircut. While we are getting our hair cut it might be well for you to focus that wad of gum you call your brain on the problem of writing five limericks on those five persons. If you're the speed hopper you say you are here's a chance to air your intolerable grandeur and strut your stufT." Did he weaken? He DID NOT ! ! ! Coming back with a haircut placed firmly on our head we found the following limericks lying on their backs on the top of the editorial desk. Read on and weep ! 'JhemEiiic Music IS FURNISHED WITH THE FOLLOWING INDEPENDENT PRODUCTIONS: Chadwick Pictures Columbia Pictures East Coast Films Perfection Pictures Banner Productions Lee-Bradford Pictures Principal Pictures Get Some Ready Cash Quickly With "THE LAW And THE LADY" First of a Series of Six Another Winner From Aywon Film Corp. 729 — 7th Ave., New York N. HIRSH, President A Firm named Cranfield & Clarke In Pictures one day did embark And the fun that they've had Keeps ihem constantly glad. In fact to. them it's a Lark. He is known as Samuel Briskin, In Pictures his dollars he's riskin'. And he Keeps at the Top, Never puts out a "flop," But it sure does keep him afriskin'. Miss Sloan's first name is Henri With the accent strong on the "i." She can turn out "copy" Most clever and toppy More nicer than yoii or I. Will Steiner is "Bill" to his friends When he loosens up and unbends But it isn't denied That he gets dignified When to do so best serves his ends. Boone Mancall's a man of fine vision; Last week made a great big decision. He said: "I'll get rash And remove my mustache !" Which he did with verve and precision. We looked over the foregoing alleged verses and having nothing better to do we throwed them in the waste basket, from which they were plucked out by the printer, who liked them so well he sobbed right out loud ! ! To quiet him and get the rest of the paper out we agreed to print them, and here you are. We have hired this "Red" person to handle this page hereafter and while we pay him just as little as possible we hope he can't get along on it. What we want him to do is quit this stuff. If it wusint for the printer liking him so much we wouldn't allow him around.
