Pittsburgh, Pa. — The owner of a local neighborhood house recently put over, a stunt that caused the newspapers to give an unusual amount of space to his theater. He decided to install a cooling system in his house and although it was unnecessary, demanded that the street be closed. Upon being refused a permit, he applied for a writ of mandamus to compel the issuance of the permit. A trip to court reporters, and the hearing received big space. Everyone received the impression that the manager was doing all he could be his patrons and the house received much boosting. Charges of discrimination etc., kept the newspaper boys busy rushing copy through and the theater capitalized. The court finally ordering a limited permit. Albany— M. M.

Dallas — Herschel Stuart, manager of the Hulsey-Lynch interests, is right up to the minute in securing a toe-hold on a good thing. Recently the D^iTi*, ■ Times Herald, an. afternoon newspaper, staged a baby show, which proved to be a big hit among the mother and parents of the kiddies in Dallas. A gold medal was presented to each of the three winners, and the show was a town topic, as practically every baby in the city was entered in the show. Stuart, ever on the alert, hit upon the bright idea of filming the kiddies, and running the picture at the Queen. Not only did the picture draw crowds of proud papas and mamas to the show, but the Herald carried a page one story each day telling their patrons that the Baby Show winners were being shown at the Queen. Hence, Stuart not only got a lot of free advertising, but a crowded house. Launching a Baby Show ought to be a simple matter in any enterprising city, and it goes big.
