Exhibitor's Trade Review (Sep-Nov 1924)

November 22. 1924 Page 33 ^ith The Independent Distridutors Flashes from Independents Jesse Goldberg bulged into town from the coast last week wearing pants with pleats about the belt ! Jess has been playing parchesi with some of his actors out on the coast and it may be is over mentalized. It goes to show that after all — art is "the thing." Did any of his actors copy Jesse's pants? Did they? They DID not! ! Did he copy theirs? Did he?? HE DID!! And yet it is claimed that its possible to put the movies on a business basis ! ! ! Health Cobb of the C. B. C. Film outfit is a great lover of dogs. He's proved this too for last week he was sporting a purp that must have included every known brand of dog in New York in its ancestry. There are times when we work up a peeve at Health but dern it we sure do dote on his courage. It sure is SOME dog. * # * Miss Markus up at Jans office ought to get her boss to pass that smile of hers along JAematic Music Cue «.SAeet-> M.J.MINTZ F.tti IS FURNISHED WITH THE FOLLOWING INDEPENDENT PRODUCTIONS: Chadwick Pictures Columbia Pictures East Coast Films Perfection Pictures Banner Productions Lee-Bradford Pictures Principal Pictures The Melodramatic Sensation WANDA HAWLEY AND NIGEL BARRIE IN George R.

We know of one visitor who went in there with soul dragging low and after the "Markus Smile" got well focused on him went out with an entire new lining on his morale. There's a heluva lot of difference in smiles. * * * Nat Levine, Sales manager for M. J. Winkler sent in a list of places he's been and is going to that looks like a copy of Bradstreets'. He stopped in last week and got medical attention for his fountain pen which was suffering from a fractured nib caused by filling out too many yearly contracts. Aint nature grand? * * * Doc. Shallenberg of the Arrow Film Corporation acknowledged to be the calmest man on Broadway received several shocks last week from which he is recovering nicely. * * * Henry Ginsberg broke out in a rash last week which when looked at more closely was found to be a manuscript entitled "What's the matter with the Independents?" The office force is cowed and is full of agogness etc., which will doubtless continue until his entire rush of words is finished. The world awaits, Henry ! Strut your stuff. Strut your stuff. * * * Louis Weiss' limousine was badly bitten by an angry Pekineese last Wednesday afternoon and since then Luie has been using the subway. It seems that the car was left standing out in front of Mr. Weiss' place of business, 1540 Broadway, and wasn't harming no one. The Pekineese came dashing around the corner of 45th street dragging its two keepers headlong. The. limousine, startled as well it might be, tried in every way to dodge the infuriated beast but a moment later was horribly bitten in the gas tank and further suffered severely from deep gashes in the engine head gasket? The hood was totally demolished. Its getting so that Broadway is dangerous. Where To Book Them !
