H. Giannini to a FILM DAILY representative yesterday upon his return from Europe aboard the Majestic. Dr. Giannini's trip was abruptly terminated by the death in California of his step-father, Lorenzo Scatena, who was chairman of the board of the Bank of Italy of California. He had been abroad a month. Local Sound House Vital, Woodhull Tells Kiwanians Washington, N. J. — That a small house wired in a community is greater in comparison to a large wired theater in a big city is the opinion of Pete Woodhull, who yesterday addressed the Kiwanis here. Woodhull pointed out that the exhibitor of a small town who installs sound in his house is helping to keep the residents from going elsewhere to shop and look for amusements. If the theater owner gives his patrons the right kind of sound, they will not go to neighboring towns or cities and spend their money, he said.
