April 15, 1922 EXHIBITORS HERALD 95 I CHICAGO PERSONALITIES | ! Clyde Eckhardt. manager local Fox branch, left March 31 for New York, .spending the week end at the home office. Honest Clyde is the bonus so big this time it means you are going to leave it there and not let our boys that tote small artillery about have a shot at the pile? * * * Didya see the reflector that I. Leserman of Universal has over his desk ? Not letting anything slip past him these days. Foxv grandpa, say we ! » * * Maynard Schwartz. Educational pilot in these waters, is now disporting about Chi's famed boulevards with his new Hup sedan trying his darndest on "How to grow thin" and show an increase of weight in the weekly sales tally. * * * Frank Zambreno, president of Progress Pictures, informs us his new release, "The Splendid Lie" featuring Grace Davidson will hold the screen of "Bill" Barbee's Loop theatre for a week's run. beginning April 3. * * * C'mon ye exhibitors get busy with the liT ol' Waterman and sign the dotted line, for the boys of the local Metro exchange will not sit quiet until they have put "Rozelle W eek" over with flying colors. Understand the boys are all set to register a sales record for the period of May 14 to May that will make us all sit up and make tes. Go to it. L. A. Rozelle and his m deserve it ! * * * "Pat" Steinberg and his charming bride, e former Miss Anna Lubliner, are being owered with tardy congratulations upon eir return from their honeymoon. Yep, "Pat" went and slipped out on us all March 14 returning from French Lick Springs, • March 28. Rest of the boys at the National poster headquarters figure it will be manv weeks before he is like himself again. * * * Julius Lamm, managing the interests of the Brunhilde & Young Enterprises advises us they have removed to new quarters, occupying offices with the Commonwealth Pictures Corp'n. 752 South Wabash avenue. Incidentally Julius is back to normalcy again, after the hilarious dinner and party recently put on at Kuntz-Remmler chop house, commemorative of his company's third anniversary. * * * No wonder Julius Alcock has forsaken -By Mac ^ ANNOUNCEMENT TRAILER/ / -ARE MODE WITH OS MUCH CARE OS THE BI66EST PRODUCTIONS DND OS BEAUTIFUL . -THEY ARE MORE ELABORATE AND ARTISTIC THAN ANY OTHER FORM OF ANNOUNCEMENT AND BY W« THE CHEAPEST. TINTING IS FREE 8*1 808 S.WABASH AVE CHICAGO, ILL . the celluloid. Just give us the listeners for a moment. The card handed us reads: "Julius A. Alcock. vice-president, RyanFoley Co., purveyors of building material and coal." Can you imagine the price they'll clamor for should the coal strike last long? First-run prices in the Loop for fillums will fade into insignificance by comparison. We all wish you the best o' luck, dear ol' vetran. * * * Jacques Kopfstein, special representative of Truart Films, arrived in the city March 29 for a few days stop-over, enroute for Detroit. He tells us he is homeward bound and to date has closed territories for his product wherever he stopped over. * * * With the gallant Charles Davis, the second, of Arrow Film renown, again with us on the Row, looks like J. M. Abrams also of the home office will be soon startling the native exhibitors of this section with thrills galore, when they get their big moneymaker, "Ten Nights In a Bar Room" agoing and the first week's receipts are given out for public notice ! * * * Walter Rosenfield and his partner Joe Hopp were in from Rock Island March 27. 'Tis needless to state further "Wallie" was in good company and enjoyed the Windy city every' moment of his visit. Bring him back soon, Joe ! * * * With the National. Star and Garter, Haymarket and Columbia theatres all playing feature films in connection with their burlesque shows, looks to us as though the Iron Clan Amustment Co. were sold one hundred per cent on the cinema. * * * L. J. Bennett. Liberty theatre. Mason City, Illinois, was on the Row last week buying up all the equipment in town. Looks like it must be housecleaning time for his theatre, eh "Benne"? * * * Jimmie Gillick. manager of the "double eye" branch is all het up with excitement upon the conclusion of the big Pathe drive. Both teams claim the lead. Best we could get from "Tiny" Meyers was a smile and that knowing wink of his'n. In ten days the tale will unfold and then ! * * * That is sure some car R. C. Seery, district manager First National, recently purchased. We mean the big Lincoln sedan. And it looks like a mild form of Detroit has captured the local exchange for the two "dudes" Gradwell Sears and Ed Bricketto are now the proud and haughty possessors of a Lizzie coupe and sedan, respectively. * * * S. A. Shirley, district manager for Metro, who has been ill for the past several days, is again back at his desk in the Sown building. * * * Lester Sturm, of the local Fox exchange, has been transferred to the Milwaukee office temporarily. Go to it Les — show 'em how to pile it up. * * * Wi?h Joe Lyon would please get out of the way and let the rest of us — customers too — get a peep at that art creation in the frame. It seems like the Queen of Sheba was about to murmur something to the exhibitors. * * * Dave Dubin will forsake the city clientele of Educational for a spell. He takes his initial trip on the road and will cover the principal points throughout the state. Be careful Dave, watch yer step and don't blow out the gas. * * * Bennie Edelman has resigned from the local Goldwyn exchange and is all smiles to announce he is back again with his oldtime former chief, "Pop" Plough. Ben will represent the R-C product through the key cities of the state. John Koletic and brother came in from Rock Island the other day looking over the Row for some additional set-ins for their American theatre. Will some good kind chap please inform Frank Ishmael of Metro where one can obtain 'phone slugs close by Eastwood and Clarendon when Pluvius is letting loose? Thank you men ! * * * Walter L. Hill, in charge of exploitation for Universal, has returned from Decatur, 111., where he put over "Foolish Wives." * * * Ralph T. Kettering and Johnny* Jones, of the J. L. & S. theatrical enterprises have returned from New York City, where they went to meet Aaron J. Jones and wife returning from Europe. Ralph says N. Y. reminds him of a big merry-go-round. You grab a ring — if you're lucky — and get another ride. * * * If you want to find Clyde Elliot Enterprises just drop into 808 South Wabash avenue. Clyde has taken office space with the American Releasing Corp. Is Made Sales Manager of Selznick News Reel David O.
