FROM PHILLY FROM BOSTON
By Nonamaker By Bruce
The latest to be disked out from the red hot rumor fires has Warner's finally taking over the Publix Tower-Roosevelt-Nixon houses this Fall . . . The Variety Jubilee bathing beauty thing has reached the semi-final stage in the S-W houses with finals scheduled for the Earle on September 3rd . . . SAM WALDMAN leases the Lorraine from DAVE MILGRAM . . . PERRY LESSY and DAVE TITLEMAN plan a stag party for ANDY SCHECKMAN who is about to go and do it . . . LEO POSEL bought most of the furnishings at the Embassy, Jenkintown, auction sale last Tuesday . . . W. H. WILSON, Rialto, Williamsport, seen on the street for the first time in quite a while ... So were HARRY SWAIN and HARRY TAYLOR, of the Twain Theatre, Mansfield, Pa. . . . JIM CLARK and OSCAR NEUFELD were the only localites to attend 'Pete' WOODHULL's funeral last Saturday at Dover, N. J. . . . That "talk of the film row" golf match took place on schedule at Ashbourne C. C. last Sunday in the terrific heat with the following harrowing results: OSCAR NEUFELD's Lu Lu team walked away with 7 of the 9 matches! JOHN BACHMAN won from JEFF DAVIS; "Mac" McFADDEN, won from JIM CLARK; BILL WOLF bested GEORGE LESSEY; JOE SCHAEFER took over HARRY WEINER; SAM LEFKO defeated DAVE MILGRAM; LARRY DAILY lost to MAC LEVEN; OSCAR NEUFELD lost to PERCY BLOCH; AL DAVIS won from CHARLES ZAGRANS; and BILL DOYLE won from LOU SEGALL . . . Oscar suffered slight sunstroke or humiliation at defeat at the hands of BLOCH and WEINER likewise bows his head at the defeat of his team and his personal defeat at the hands of SCHAEFER! And that's the end of that! . . . SAM ROSEN goes with Grand National as N. J. salesman . . . HERMAN GLUCKMAN in town Monday helping Republicans put over trade showing of "Follow Your Heart" at the Aldine. HARRY LA VINE had a major smile on his face . . .SAM STIEFEL has that Locust Street Theatre proposition all ironed out. We understand it will be a night club hot spot ere long . . .

HERBERT COPELAN, gn. mgr. of Atlantic City's Warner houses, and JOSEPH QUITTNER, mgr. of the Globe, had a narrow escape from death Tuesday night when they jumped overboard from a blazing fishing boat just a few moments before it exploded. Backfire had set the oil ablaze and the boys realized that they would have to get out quick, so they pulled on life preservers and jumped. The blow-off followed almost immediately.

MARTIN TUOHEY always manages to come up from Pawtucket once a week. That's consistency. Incidentally, he has closed a deal with PHIL SMITH for Chesterfield-Invincible pictures during the coming season . . . And while we are on the subject, AL ANDERS has also signed up, first run, for the Bijou in Springfield . . Business seems to be getting better all around. Maybe it's the cooler weather or perhaps the fact that the beano games have been shut down or maybe we are all trying harder . . . "Romeo and Juliet" opens August 3 0th at the Colonial Theatre for a long run. BERT McKENZIE, M-G-M's veteran publicity man is in charge of the publicity ably assisted by NAN COHEN.

The R-K-O Boston Theatre will close for alterations the first couple days in September. They will open on the 3rd with an elaborate stage show. It seems that the Metropolitan will not leave the field clear for the R-K-O Boston after all. Despite the fact that it had several pictures all lined up the Metropolitan is going to stick to its traditional stage shows . . . RALPH TIBBETTS, Paramount's assistant advertising manager, does not believe in witches but he does believe in bewitching JANE FAY. Just recently he let us in on the news that he had married this maid of Salem. That's getting ahead of the picture . . . LESLEY BENDSLEV is following in his father's footsteps. Rarely does he miss a preview and his judgment is quite sound. The Community Playhouse out in Wellesley reaps the benefit of his careful booking . . . We have always wondered when E. M. LOEW was going to take a vacation. The time has come. He left on the 2 5th for a trip to Europe . . . Republic is confident that they have a good thing.
