Johnston "Chick" Lewis Honorary Chairman Chairman WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? COME ON, JOIN THESE LIVE WIRES! WILLIAM K. SAXTON, it we were in Syracuse, N. Y., would need no introduction to anybody, so fine a rep did he establish for himself at the State Theatre. Bill has been a pretty active showman since he has been at his house and any of his press books will prove this. He has crashed the papers as many times as Tammany Young has crashed a gate. Let's have your biography. Bill, and a photo, so that we can give you a real introduction. Oke? Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! DEAN C. DEMAREE manages the State Theatre in Omaha, Xeb. He is proposed for the Club by W. H. Bergmann, making about the ninety-seven hundredth showman our live-wire Regional Chairman has proposed for membership. Well, Dean, being in Omaha, leads us to believe that you are right there with the show goods. So that's all for the present. But we want to hear from you on your next campaign. What do you say ? Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! PIERRE BOULOGNE is the manager of the Norva Theatre in Norfolk, Va. Since his stay at the Norva Mr. Boulogne has been doing some good work and we know that now he is a full-fledged member of the Managers' Round Table Club he is going to continue his activity and pass the work along to his fellow members so that they can see what he is doing to keep the house on the winning side of the ledger. Let's have it, Pierre. Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! HERMAN G. WILSON is the Assistant Manager of the Bijou Theatre in Richmond, Ya. He has plenty of competition along the showman line and it keeps him busy stepping along to make sure that the Bijou gets plenty of representation. And it does. Future work of Wilson's, which we expect to present on our pages, will prove this statement because we know that the showman managing the house knows his stuff. Keep up the good work. Wear Your Club Pin! ! > MIKE EDELSTEIN has been in this racket plenty years, and now that he is giving them something to talk about along the showman line at the Mt. Morris Theatre in New York City, we are sure that he is going to pass it along for the rest of his fellow-members to look over. And when you do Mike, give us a photo and some data so that we can give you a real send-off. Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! DAVID J. LUSTIG is the publicity chief for the Manhattan Playhouses in New York. Through some oversight, or something or other, we found out that Dave had never signed on the dotted line that entitled him to a mention on this page. Well, he's signed up now, and, as most of his fellow-members know, he can turn out some excellent work. We look forward to having lots of it on our pages for the new season, Dave. What do vou say about it? Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! — WADE G. LOUDERMILK is the Assistant Manager of the Rialto Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona. We understand that Mr. Loudermilk is of another profession, and is learning the show game from the front of the house up. Well, Wade, with a showman of the experience of your house manager teaching you the ropes it shouldn't be hard for you to get along. Let's know how you're doing. GEORGE H. MINER is the manager of the Loew's Theatre in Yonkers, New \ork, and we'd like you to know that it is unnecessary for us to say that he is active up around that district. He's more than active, as the crowds in the house every evening will prove. And if that isn't enough, all we have to do is to ask some of the other showmen around his neighborhood. This showman seems to have annexed quite a rep for himself as being a square-shooter. Welcome into the Clubx George, and don't be a stranger. Il'ear Your Club Pin! ! ! ■ ROGER R. DRISSEL manages the Columbia Theatre in Washington, D. C. From the accounts we have gathered concerning Mr. Drissel's work, we find that he rates 'ace high" in the showman standing of his town. Which is oke with us, Roger. Only send us in some of your stuff, too, will you? Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! RAY M. BUTTERFIELD manages the Metropolitan Theatre in Leominster, Mass. This town, wherein Mr. Butterfield is located, has shown some mighty fine showmanship in the past, and, even now there's some good work being done there. Let's have your show-selling slants, Ray, so that we can present them to your fellow members through the medium of the Club pages. Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! IRVING LIPNICK manages the Fox Terminal Theatre in Chicago. While he was at the Tower Theatre in Milwaukee, Lipnick's showmanship was a big feature. Now, with so much to draw from in the Windy City, it is a sure thing that he'll have some corking work to his credit as soon as he gets "wised"on the situation. Keep us posted on your activity, Irving, so that we can pass it along. Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! T. M. HOROWITZ is the manager of the Paramount Theatre in Peekskill, New York. Mr. Horowitz has an excellent background which should serve him well in the show game. We are sure that he is going to be an active member and contributor of the Club and we hope to hear from him shortly. Let's go, Ted! Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! F. E. OWEN is the manager of the Capitol Theatre in Raleigh, N. C, that representative city of his state. Listen, "F. E.," we number some more showmen from down around your way on our rolls and you'll have to do some stepping to catch up with the showman lead they have been taking. As your first move in the campaign, how about a photo and some data on 3rourself so that we can give you an introduction? Photos of Members! THE Club is anxious to publish photographs of every member and would, therefore, appreciate receiving as many as possible for use in future issues of the Club columns. If you have not already done so, PLEASE send us your own photo at once. Thank you.
