Exhibitors Herald (Jul-Sep 1922)

July 8, 1922 EXHIBITORS HERALD 71 ! CHICAGO PERSONALITIES 1 By Mac -i WB. FRANKS, general sales manager, • Associated Exhibitors, graced Film Row with his genial presence for a brief stop-over at the local Pathe branch for a couple of days. Great boy and can he wield a cue — ask us? Surely gave us all a thrill to glad hand our ol' buddy, Bob Lucas, as he strolled the Row the other day. Bob says, "Never again," but at that he looks splendid after his long and tedious hospital confinement, and rawther classically svelte as to figure contour. * * * We regret to learn of the sad mishap which overtook the charming Mrs. Joe Lyon. It seems that Joe, the Fox go-getter, has a particular fondness for cherries, so friend wife while weekending at her parents' home spied one of the trees overburdened with said fruit and purloining a step ladder proceeded to climb the tree. She sustained a nasty fall from the top rung and has been confined to the hospital for the past week and from where we sit, it looks like Joe is going to miss his vacation in upper Wisconsin, to say nothing of no more cherries for a spell. Guess "Pop" Plough, manager of the local R-C Pictures, is banging out a flock of four-base hits from the way, Al Gallas is busily filling the sales register board with those tell tale "set-in pins." "Radio" Weiss, the Universal salesman, has dropped the "radio" from his official caption. "Too much static," says Mr. Weiss, whatever that means. * * * Walter Hylaxd and Harry Igel are post-carding friends from various parts of the East en route to New York. Walter is going to have a couple of monkey-wrench glands grafted to the Ford before he starts West. * * * Walter Johnson, manager of the Partway theatre, according to "U" salesman Astrachan, is playing a series of solid Universal nights on his summer program. He's booked three Reginald Denny's five Art Acords, a flock of Century comedies, "Perils of the Yukon" serial and eight Tom Santschi's. * * * Ralph Kettering, the genial J. L. & S. press agent and advertising man, returned from the Shriner's conclave at San Francisco Thursday eve. full of praise for "sunny" California. (P. S. It rained most of the time he was there.) However, Bert Lytell showed him a good time and he saw everything there was to be seen, including the horrors of Hollywood night life. * * * Jack Barry, erstwhile representative for the Silton Film exchange is now affiliated with the Clyde Elliott Productions office and if that Celtic smile of his has any meaning looks like Clyde Elliott is due to handle plenty of sales for Jack's account. * * * Now that Pat Campbell, publicity representative for the United Artists, in the mid West has returned from his extended sojourn in Los Angeles, the local exhibitors about these parts are sure going to inherit some real news of what it's all about for the coming season. * * * Cress Smith, manager of the local United Artists exchange, left for the home office last week for a brief stay in the big metropolis, with Del Goodman at the helm during his absence. * * * Welcome back, old timer. Yep, our good pal Ralph Bradford is with us again, handling the product of the local First National exchange. " Best o' luck, Ralph. * * * B. Thornton Phelps of the Unity Photoplays took a month's leave of absence and is having a "rest" at the famous Wisconsin colony of resorters, Lake Delavan. The handsome young ex-looey is already developing quite a coat of "calcium tan" due to his constant attendance at all the big dance frolics that are staged nightly at the Highlands. * * * Tom Greenwood has been an absentee from the cow pastures for the past few weekends. 'Tis rumored the popular Hodkinson representative has been doing the "Lock-step" with the chain gang at Niles Center, having been accused of doing over eighteen miles ner with the little Oldsmobile. Most any day now the big event is liable to occur. Inasmuch as "Long Jim Barnes" Goldman, manager of the local American Releasing exchange, put over a 72 last Sunday morn on the sporty Edgebrook course, looks like one of the golf shops is due to take Sid's order for a set of "mallets" most any day. Well, fellows, and ihis means all the Row, from the shipping clerks right up the ladder to the most exalted executives of the Row, you all sure have been a wonderful family of pals to ye scribe for the past several years and this much he wishes you all, the best of everything this merrie ol' world can give you, and no matter where he may be his thoughts will always be those of kindness and best of feelings for Chi's bustling Film Row.
