14 THE EXHIBITOR AMONG THOSE PRESENT. Many a well-known Eastern theatre man commentator attended the Springfield, Illinois, premiere of 20th CenturyFox’s “Young Mr. Lincoln.” Among those caught by The Exhibitor’s cameraman en route included, left to right, Philadelphia’s Everett Callow, Warners; Washington’s Carter T. Barron, Loew’s eastern division manager; Rochester’s William Cadoret, Comerford-Publix; Buffalo’s Charles B. Taylor, Shea’s; Philadelphia’s Allan Scott, WCAU; Syracuse’s Gus Lampe, Schine Circuit. Springfield’s 71,864 turned out in full force. PREMIERE OF "YOUNG MR. LINCOLN.” Before a group of state and local officials, augmented by the enthusiastic population, Springfield, Illinois, on the evening of May 30, saw the official world premiere of 20th CenturyF°x’s "Young Mr. Lincoln.” At the upper left is seen a portion of the mob that jammed the street in front of Springfield’s 800-seat Lincoln. In the upper left, we, too, catch a glimpse of such screen luminaries as Cesar Romero, Binme Barnes, Arleen Whalen, Alice Brady, Eddie Collins, Lowell Thomas, Charles E. McCarthy, and friends. Lower right shows a part of the mob gathered at the railroad station to greet the arrivals, while the lower left shows the enthusiastic turn-out greeting the movie folk as they proceeded about the city for the several pre-arranged functions.
