Mc Adoo's Tips {Continued from Page 1) real organizer in the entire industry. We have not even grown with our business. We need new blood, a daring operator, one who can take a real survey of the world wide moving picture situation — a thing which we cannot do because we have been too close to our work to get a real prospective. We need a man whose ideas command respect, a man who has the faculty of shaking off detail and planning big powerful strokes. There is no such man in the whole moving picture industry, and there never has been." Subsequently Mr. McAdoo wrote Universal declining their offer saying that he intended coining to New York to practice law. On Dec. 23, he also informed Leonce Perrett to the same effect saying: "I have your letter of the 10th instant, suggesting that I turn my thoughts to the Moving Picture industry which has a great future. I thank you for the suggestion, but I am sure that I have no qualifications for work of this character. I am going to resume the practice of law in New York when I take up business again." The McAdoo identification with the "Big Five" was one of the chief topics of interest in the film world yesterday. The general opinion seemed to be that this assured the permanency of the "Big Five" especially in view of the fact that McAdoo was reported to be drawing $100,000 a year salary, and that this would insure his entire time to the development of the plans of the noted stars. There were reports in circulation that McAdoo could easily raise all the funds necessary for financing the operations of the stars, and that millions could be obtained by him, if necessary, from capitalists identified with big Wall Street operations. By many, Douglas Fairbanks is given credit for placing McAdoo at the head of affairs of the Combine. Fairbanks became very friendly to McAdoo during the last two Liberty Loan drives. More Welcomes. Samuel L. Rothapfel— McAdoo's appointment is a splendid thing for the industry. It is a fine move. Ricord Gradwell— World— The industry is to be congratulated on having a man of McAdoo's type identified with it. There is room for more. If necessary every company in the industry should chip in to meet the expense of having . a man of his type identified in a big way with the industry; some one who tells them to go and come; someone to really guide the industry." corns ^ strip miotsmmf.i'Kifn WELPONWILUaHS & LICK ■roersJf/r/r.JM< INSURANCE The Strand, Ft. Wayne, Ind. Wid Gunning, Dear Friend : After paying insurance policies, etc., I found myself with $1.48 net, so I went to friend wife and asked her if she could spare $5 or so to continue "Wid's," and what do you think she said? "Why sure," she said, "but it must be delivered tjo 1 122 Ewing Street, so I can read it first." That Is what the ladies think of "Wid's." Consequently enclosed check for $5.00 for "Wid's" until you ask for more. Am inclined to think th^t as feoon as this '^new young war" between some of the Exhibitors and Producers has the smoke cleared away anH the "flu" flueth things will be right again. Happy and Prosperous New Year on Feb. 1, or whatever time you get this. Kindest regards. Your friend, NATE ERBER, The Strand. Mail to 1 122 Ewing St. Perfect Automatic Ticket Seller. E. S. Bowman, sales manager for the Automatic Ticket Selling and Cash Register Co., reports a heavy demand for the latest type machine they have put on the market. Loew's Metropolitan, Brooklyn, and all the Crandall horses in Washington are using the machines and the Strand, New York, has just put the latest type of machine into use. Unfilled orders are accumulating. The newest Automatic sells from one to five tickets at a time and issues a different price and color ticket for each price of admission while at the same time permitting the cashier to give full attention to making change. The new machine permits a thorough registration without using numbers on the tickets. This prevents competing exhibitors from checking up on the business done by their opposition. which is often said to be done where tickets are numiberdd. Watchman Shot at Metropolitan. Brooklyn — George Graham, watch man at Loew's Metropolitan, after being struck by soldiers whom he found in the theater at 2 o'clock yesterday morning shot a soldier named Tames E. Markwell. The watchman will recover from his injury, but the soldier, recently returned from France is expected to die.
