Independent Exhibitors Film Bulletin (Sep 1935 - Aug 1936)

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1936 11 SUBJECTS By Nonamaker VINE STREET GONDOLIER — We like the gag credited to ELLIOT GOLDMAN wherein he supposedly invited somebody to meet him at 13th and Vine Streets BY THE LAKE! Whitey, the traffic cop, claims 'NOOKIE' BECKETT and BENNY HARRIS were shooting wild ducks on the lake one day last week after sundown. Harris was using 'S.r' ELI GINSBURG as 'pointer' while Beckett had decoys cut from Habanello 'seconds' cigar boxes! We also liked Sock's gag that the reason sailors like burlesque is because they are SEE-shows! And we are interested in Paramount's "DESIRE" since one of their goofy press releases states it heralds the return of sex to the screen — sex embellished with that Lubitsch touch! Whoopee! And a couple of Huzzahs! WEATHER SYMPHONY — Slip, slop, slush, slup, slip, splash, crash, drip! GAG — Press agent for "Tobacco Road" said his show was the "Georgia White's Scandals!"
