56 MOTION PICTURE HERALD May 2 3, 1931 Some Executive Comment "The MANAGERS' ROUND TABLE CLUB is tJie best medium that I knozv of that gives many managers an opportunity for exchange of thought. "Let me congratulate . you on your Third Anniversary and trust that the future ivill carry the same measure of success that yon have had in the past. "JVith e-c'cry good zvish., I am sincerely," HAROLD B. FRANKLIN, President, Hughes-Franklin Theatres. "The MANAGERS' ROUND TABLE CLUB of MOTION PICTURE HERALD is surely the outstanding editorial feature of the trade paper field. Constructive efforts can always best be put into effect through suggestions gleaned from an exchange of ideas. "There is no shozvman in the country who cannot learn by follozving the activities of others and truly there is no department comparable for this purpose with the 'ROUND TABLE.' EDDY ECCLES. Fox West Coast Theatres. "Having been a constant reader of your MANAGERS' ROUND TABLE CLUB ever since its inception, I zvould like to state at this time, that in my opinion its columns have ahvays contained very helpful ideas and suggestions. "On numerous occasions, I have urged the managers in my division to become members of your 'Club,' so that they may avail themselves of the opportunity to learn the various publicity ideas, tie-ups, etc., that managers all over the country are using. "As you kuozv, recently, the managers of all Fox Theatres have become subscribers to the MOTION PICTURE HERALD, and I am quite sure that in time all managers zvill appreciate the value of being a member of the MANAGERS' ROUND TABLE CLUB." SAM RINZLER, Fox Brooklvn Theatres. "Mav I express my opinion that the MANAGERS' ROUND TABLE CLUB is a very desirable tiling for the promotion of amusement interests." NICHOLAS M. SCHENCK, President, Loew's, Inc. * * :|: "The MANAGERS' ROUND TABLE CLUB in the MOTION PICTURE HERALD is to my mind a most usefid institution. "It serves as a clearing house to zvhicli managers may profitably apply for suggestions. The idea is in complete accord zvith our ozvn notions of theatre operation — letting tlie manager run his theatre as though it were his own business." HARRY ARTHUR, Fox Theatres Corp. ^ ^ "Your MANAGERS' ROUND TABLE department is, without doubt, a valuable feature for the alert, ambitious theatre manager. I knozv a large number of our managers read it religiously. A breezy sensible exchange of selling ideas cannot fail to benefit us all. The youngsters in tJie business are stimulated by it and the old-timers are reminded of the things that they had forgotten, but which are still good boxoffice. OSCAR A. DOOB, Director Advertising-Publicity, Loezv's Theatres, Inc. * * :;; "It is my belief that through the medium of this department of your publication, managers of theatres in all parts of the country are served from zveek to week with a zvealth of data, stunts and ideas that can not help but be of direct benefit in the more efficient and therefore more profitable operation of theatres. "7 feel confident that every man in the Ohio territory is keenly interested in the MANAGERS' ROUND TABLE CLUB, and each reader finds in its> contents a real incentive to the accomplishuicut of greater things." C. J. LATTA, Warner Bro. Theatres, Cleveland, Ohio "I have just issued instructions that will go out in the next issue of our western edition of 'The Last W ord' that every manager should subscribe to the ROUND TABLE CLUB because we think that the information contained therein zvill be most helpful to them." OSCAR OLDKNOW, Vice-President. Fox Theatres. "In my Jiumble opinion the weekly arrival of the MOTION PICTURE HERALD at a manager's office should be something of an event. "Show business now being primarily a matter of knowledge and news no manager can afford to miss any opportunity to gather these unto himself. The manager zvho keeps himself abreast of the business is always the one who forges to the top. "There is no better source for knowledge and news of the business than the MOTION PICTURE HERALD. Its arrival each week provides the manager with additional equipment for the better handling of his job. That is why I believe tlmt its weekly delivery should be something of an event. The publication, in my opinion, is something that no manager can afford to neglect. I read every issue from cover to cover and never zvithout profit." G. S. YORKE, Director Publicity and Advertising, Fox Theatre Corporation. "In the opinion of the writer, the MANAGERS' ROUND TABLE CLUB appearing in each issue of the .MOTION PICTURE HERALD is a most commendable institution. "I am always very pleased to note in your columns the activities of the managers in the Fox Buffalo and Albany Divisions. I am, in turn, advising our managers that contributions to your magazine have my hearty endorsement." MARSHALL TAYLOR, Fox Upstate Theatres, N. Y.
