The Exhibitor (October 15, 1920)

44 "THE EXHIBITOR," OCTOBER 15, 1920 Charlie CalehufPs Lucky Numbers Are “13” and “23” Hotel people are wise enough to change the numbers of room 13 and 23 to A, B, C, or designate them in some other way on account of the difficulty experienced in renting them. Chas. A. Calehuff, branch manager of the United Theatre Equipment Corpora tion, insists that 13 and 23 are his lucky numbers and that he would rather pay more for room 13 in a hotel than any other. His sales for the week of September 13th, bears out his claim. It was the largest week’s business he ever had. Thirty-five Power’s No. 6B motor driven machines, a part of which were equipped with the new type lamp house, five gold fibre screens, two Hallberg motor generator sets, two ticket selling cash registers, four ticket choppers, one asbestos booth, exit boxes, etc. Among the sales made was the entire equipment for the fine Harrowgate Theatre at Kensington Avenue and Tioga Street, Lou Pizor, one of the popular theatre magnates of the city, who is at the head of a chain of theatres, and who is adding links to the chain in the way of new houses, will open the Harrowgate about the first of November. As this is the largest and f nest theatre in their NEAL HART CHARLIE CALEHUFF chain they intend to make it one of the best in the city. Practically the same conditions applies to Jack Rosenthall as to Lou Pizor and Jack has ordered No. 6B motor driven Power’s machines with Type E lamp house and a gold fibre screen for the New Astor Theatre, corner Franklin and Girard Avenue. The New Astor is to be modern in every respect. Two No. 6B motor driven machines and a gold fibre screen are a part of the equipment being installed in the Wayne Theatre on Wayne Avenue. John Hayes is installing two Power’s No. 6B motor driven machines and a gold fibre screen in his theatres. John banks on the Power’s machines and gold fibre screen. “Child for Sale” Creating Furore “A Child for Sale,” the sensational feature of the Superior Film Exchange is creating new box office receipts in the territory. The picture was shown for one week at Dr. Steumpfig’s Germantown theatre bringing tremendous business. In discussing the picture, Dr. Steumpfig said: “When any one wants to know anything about the merits and the drawing possibilities of ‘A Child for Sale,’ tell him to call on me.” The booking of “A Child for Sale” at the Somerset Theatre, Twenty-sixth and Somerset Streets, a 480-seat house, for one week, created a sensation. This house is a one-day stand, and has been doing discouraging business. The returns on “A Child for Sale” grew daily, and at the end of the week’s engagement the Somerset reported $1572.75 in gross receipts. This feature is sure to break all records for one week neighboring stands. THE STEALERS ARE COMING! Announcing the Opening of a New INDEPENDENT FILM EXCHANGE Specializing in High Grade Attractions.
