Late Arrival in "Worlds" Campaign for the Awards Paul Trumbell, manager of the Famous Players Granada theatre in Hamilton, Ontario, submits his original campaign on “War of the Worlds” as an entry in the third quarter for the Quigley Awards, and it will appear as a domestic entry against the several overseas contest entries which have been received from Paramount field men in various countries. Actually, there will be one overseas winner in the quarter, against two domestic winners, including Canada, for both large and small situations. Paul says he had no help from Paramount or his home office, but had an additional $100 appropriation above the usual budget for this “action” house, seating 983. The usual double-bill policy was suspended for this occasion, to concentrate attention on the special picture, and the exception was requested by the theatre, to obtain greater recognition with the campaign. Philadelphia Awarded the "Beau Brummell" Premiere Following a couple of months of promotion and publicity originating in certain ivory towers within rifle shot of this desk — Philadelphia, of all places, has been given the honor of the “Beau Brummell” premiere, apparently for having the best dressed men. We consider Philadelphia one of our old home towns, and remember well the men’s wear stores on Chestnut Street, but darned if we thought they would land this distinction against the field, with Boston, New Haven, Houston, Chicago and elsewhere filing claims and counter-claims. The press release at hand says that “Houston threw its Stetson into the ring” — and that’s one thing we do know. Stetson Hats originally came from Philadelphia, or we have forgotten the lay of the land, after forty years. There was just one little thing that might have had a remote bearing on the transaction— Philadelphia will celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the Men’s Apparel Industry this fall, and they offered vast cooperation to the motion picture promotion. The “haberdashery handicap” can be celebrated elsewhere and with argument, pro and con, with or without matching vest. Legion Approves Two of Five Productions The National Legion of Decency this week reviewed five films, putting two in Class A, Section II, morally unobjectionable for adults, and three in Class B, morally objectionable in part for all. In Section II are “Bamboo Prisoner” and “Unchained.” In Class B are “Carmen Jones” because of “suggestive costuming, dialogue and situations”; “So This Is Paris” because of “suggestive dancing and costuming,” and the reissue “Tarzan, The Ape Man,” because of “suggestive costuming and situations.” Image and Sound Service Files Two Trust Suits In two separate anti-trust actions filed this week in the Federal District Court at Boston, the Image and Sound Service Companies alleged in one complaint that Radio Corporation of America and R.C.A. Service Company combined and conspired to eliminate Image and Sound from the motion picture sound service business in New England and throughout the United States, and in the other complaint similarly charged Altec Service Corporation and National Simplex Bloodworth, Inc. The damages claimed in each action before trebling exceeded $1,750,000. Both complaints specified that the defendant corporations attempted to monopolize the sound service field. Thomas W.
