SHIP NEWS
Out in 'Frisco. The exchanges sell cans of stufif. To the steamers. For their long voyages. According to F. W. Voight. Of Metro. Who says they print the programs. Of the night's pleasure. On back of the menus.
Wonder if Harold Lloyd's "Sailor Made Man." Is on the schedule.
BARBER ^HOP CORDS It's true. As Joe Lee says. In his famous song. Dedicated to Dr. Straton. And sung by Bill Brady. That "All the mugs are not in the barber shops." But this has nothing to do. With Doug's "pome." Which was inspired. When Tom Geraghty sent him a barber chair. (Because Doug couldn't find the right kind of a box on the lot.) Here's the inspiration : Dear Tom, —
"I've heard of the Barbary Coast Of Santa Barbara, too , Of the barbarous things on barber poles
And also of Harvey Thew ; A rub on the head, a cut on the hair,
Also a shine on the shoe, A clever thought, this chair you bought For the shaving of Dan McGrew.
Alias Douglas Fairbanks.
MERCHANDISING PICTURES
Eddie Bonus. At Warners. Running the kind of copy. That tells exhibitors. Of the exploitation stufif. That comes with "Your Best Friend." Good stuff.
But why on earth. Or elsewhere. This sort of copy. Hasn't been used months ago. Or years ago. All of us would like to know. Of course. Producers like their names. And faces. In ads. And distributors think big black type. Is all that's needed. But people who know sales values. Know that the Bonus type of copy. W^ill do inore good. To the square inch. Than all the rest of it. By the mile.
GAME
Should be on the screen. Thinks Eltinge Warner. Who runs "Field & Stream." And formerly was with Benj. Hampton Prod. So planning with Watty Rothacker. He has worked out a series. Of 24. One of which. Was shown at the Capitol. By Roxy. And proved a hit. Quite an idea. Especially appealing. To Nimro(Js.
OYSTERS
Joe Plunkett's new house. Up in Connecticut. Has a lot of special features. Including an oyster bed. But Joe couldn't understand. When one of his friends. Asked him. If he took the oysters out walking. Every night. Before they turned in to sleep.
SOME SHOW
Writes Frank Rembusch : "A good lady was discussing pictures with me in one of my small towns. She said : 'The other night my little boy was very late coming home from the show. In reply to my question why he was so long, he said — 'Well, Mother, I will tell you, the show was so rotten I had to stay for two shows to get my money's worth.' "
