18 EXHIBITORS HERALD -WORLD October 4, 1930 BROADWAY WE have sat at the dinner table with tall men, fat women, dwarfs and others of the sideshow world, but never, until Al Selig and Joe Rivkin of Tiffany got the bright idea, did we partake of chicken legs, potatoes au gratin and other delectables with a chimpanzee as the honored guest. This was our pleasure, however, when Joe had a group at Arrowhead Inn to meet Snookums, the Tiffany monk who is starring in the company's clever comedies. No star of the screen ever shone brighter than did Snookums that night. So interested were patrons of the inn that food was forgotten. In the monk comedies — all talking — Tiffany has about the cleverest short features yet seen and heard by this writer. If they don't bring a howl a second then something is radically wrong with a person's spleen. The doctor should be called in immediately. These shorts are burlesques of popular features of the past. Two shown to the press were titled "The Little Covered Wagon" and "The Blimp Mystery." "The Little Big House," "Chasing Around," "The Little Divorcee" and "Sweet Patootie" are on the way. A This has been a week of luncheons and dinners, with Electrical Research Products also contributing to the trade paper man's three squares a day. Erpi's luncheon was to bring members of the press together to meet J. E. Otterson, president, and to view on the audible screen sound and acoustic demonstrations and industrial films. A PRIZE FRONTS : This week's prize (we haven't decided what it will be) for the most attractive theatre front goes to the Rivoli, where "Whoopee" opened at $5.50 top on Tuesday. Eddie Cantor made a personal appearance. A Col. H. A. Cole of Texas, a leader in Allied States Association, has been gracing Broadway the last few days. As usual he carries with him a pleasant smile but little conversation for the interviewer. JAY M. SHRECK. Warner Brothers Plan Home Office Addition (Sptcial to the Herald-World) NEW YORK, Oct. 2.— Estimates are being received for the erection of the new Warner Brothers building adjacent to the present home office on West 44th and West 45th streets. It covers a 75-foot frontage and will have the same height as the other two structures. The erection of the addition is in line with the company's expansion policy. "Trails of Danger" Just to look at the title makes the imagination run away to lonesome hills, guns, flying fists and lurking shadows which haunt all the little recesses of some rocky trail. It is the title of the Big 4 Corporation's latest western thriller, and might well be termed a synonym for double-barreled action in a rugged and romantic setting where love is fraught with danger. The eading players are Wally Wales and Virginia Browne Faire. Wally Wales and Virginia Browne Faire ML "** tttmWr 5 Vdk 1 Ik. i^?' r 1 » fl Mr SfiF y .1 II 9& 1L~ % IN • A tense moment.
