Motion Picture Herald (Jul-Sep 1933)

60 MOTION PICTURE HERALD August 5, 1933 WABASH AVENUE CHICAGO Dick Beck at the Castle theatre, who more than once has spotted a picture in his diminutive playhouse and cleaned up after the bigger houses had found some reason for passing it up, seems to have clicked again with "This Nude World." At least the word emanates from F. A. Mindlin that the picture is breaking records at the Castle. And Beck, who controls the picture for Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana, says he is keeping it running indefinitely. It is now in its fifth week. V Signs that local box offices are getting a break from World Fair visitors are seen in Aaron Jones' move in opening the State-Lake theatre. A week later Balaban & Katz opened the large Granada on the North Side. V Henry Herbel, Universal branch manager, is back from a trip to New York where, with other universalites, he was called to meet Jimmy Grainger, the new U sales manager. V Ludwig Sussman again demonstrated the interest he takes in the folks of his community. Sussman staged a special benefit for the young widow of John Sevick, policeman killed in a courtroom last week. V Among the folk who enjoyed themselves immensely at the United Artists banquet at the Drake were Jack Miller and Aaron Saperstein. Saperstein received two of the Mickey Mouse wrist watches donated by Walt Disney and Aaron says they made a big hit at home. V A. Montague, general salesmanager, and Rube Jackter and Nat Spingold of Columbia stopped in at the local branch to visit Phil Dunas. V Manufacturers and supply dealers from all parts of the country took over the Drake hotel this week for the third convention and exhibit of the Independent Theatre Supply Dealers' Association. J. E. Robin is president of the organization and Henry Dusman secretary and treasurer.
