Indiana Exhibitor Wins Cretors Prize
Chicago — The $500 grand prize, in the contest to select a model name f : r the new Cretors popcorn machine designed by Raymond Loewy has been awarded to James S. Ackron, manager, Ritz, Tipton, Ind.

Thompson, Memorial Auditorium, Chatta¬ nooga, Tenn.; and fifth-place winner, Mrs. Edith Lillian Toon, Capitol, Fredericton, N.B., Canada. Runners-up in the contest were awarded certificates good for $100 on the purchase of one of the new Loewydesigned Cretors machines.
“The selection of the name,” said Ack¬ ron, “was to me obvious. For to the exhibi¬ tor, in these somewhat trying days of movie-going, what has been our goodwill ambassador? — none other than a deli¬ cious carton of popcorn popped in a Cretors machine.
“I am sure,” continued the grand-prize winner, “had Olson and Johnson written their script around a Cretors machine’s proficient working, the title would have been ‘Heaven’s A-Poppin’.”
The panel of judges that selected the winning name was composed of Fred C. Matthews, president. TESMA; Walter Reade, Jr., immediate past president, TOA; J. J. Fitzgibbons, Jr., immediate past president. International Poncorn sociation; Raymond L^'ewy, designer of the machine; Trueman Rembusch. Fvndicate Theatres, Franklin.
