Johnston "Chick" Lewis Honorary Chairman Chairman WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? BETTER HOP ABOARD WITH US K. L. PETER manages the Roseland Theatre in Omaha, Neb. He comes to the Club proposed by our Regional Chairman, W. H. Bergmann. Peter was formerly working with Fred Glass at McCook, Neb., so we are sure that he knows his stuff. Welcome into the Club, "K. L.," and let's see some of your work. Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! WALTER S. CALDWELL manages the Valentine Theatre, Toledo, Ohio. He really needs no introduction on these pages as his work is well known to many of our members, it having appeared here a number of times. We are sure, though, now that he has appeared on these pages, he will continue the activity he has shown in the past and keep us posted on his work. Right, Walter. Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! EDWIN ADLER is the manager of the Vendome Theatre in Nashville, Tenn., for the Loew outfit. Some excellent showmanship has been displayed in this town in the past and with Adler handling one of the ace houses we feel that he must be in on it, and running right out in front. Let's have a line or two on it, Edwin, and you might also include your photograph. Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! R. G. McCAULEY assists Larry Carkey in the handling and selling of the Olympic Theatre in Utica, New York. As an assistant manager, Mr. McCauley has had some fine training and we are sure that the work he did with the Schine outfit is going to be continued. And working with a showman like Larry, there should be more added to it. Let's have vour say on the subject, "R. G." Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! JAMES A. O'KELLY is the exploitation manager of the Smoot and Lincoln Theatres in Parkersburg, West Va. There has been some outstanding showmanship being displayed by Bill Hendricks n this town, Jimmy, and we want you to know that you'll have to be pretty active to get ahead of it. However, we have a hunch you know your stuff. Let's see if we're right. Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! J. H. PHILLIPS manages the Eagle Theatre in New York City. Mr. Phillips has been in the show game for quite some time and he is fully capable of handling this "big city" house. His neighborhood offers him some exploitation possibilities and he sure takes advantage of them. Why don't you drop us a line on the rest of your selling, "J. H.," and let's know how you bring them in to the box-office. -Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! JIM LANDERS is the manager of the Aztec Theatre in San Antonio, Texas. We are rapidly nearing the 100 per cent mark for Round Table membership in this city and with Mr. Landers' application we swell it one more. Shoot us in a photo and some low-down on what you are doing to keep them lining up at the box-office, will you? if car Your Club Pin! ! ! GREGORY ELLIS manages Loew's Plaza Theatre in Corona, Long Island, New York. As we are pretty well acquainted with Mr. Ellis' neck of the show country we know that he can display some showmanship out there, a thing that he is no doubt doing. We would like to hear some more from you, Gregory, and we hope that you will include your photo with your next contribution. J. T. STROUD manages the Capitol Theatre, Aberdeen, South Dakota. Mr. Stroud is right on the job out in his district and he doesn't let any opportunities go by for plugging his house. The contacts he has made in town, enable him to turn out some fine showmanship. We hope to show some of it in our future issues. How about it "J. T."? Wear Your Club Pin! ! J. M. BLANCHARD is the manager of the Strand Theatre in Sunbury, Penn. His many activities in the town have won for his house a place that ranks right in front with all of the leading business enterprises. We understand that he knows his town very well and this has enabled him to pull effective gags at will. We'd like to hear more about your work, "J. M." ■Wear Your Club Pin ! HAL CUFFEL the manager of the Orpheum Theatre in Grand Forks, N. D. really needs no introduction as his work has appeared on our pages before, but as Hal has never been represented on this page, we felt that it was time for him to be so. Here you are Hal, and now let's have some more of that activity you are displaying in Grand Forks. Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! PAUL LEVY manages the Broadway Theatre in Brooklyn, N. Y., for the Loew Circuit. We have been over in the Broadway's district a number of times, and have observed the chances it offers for exploitation, which no doubt Paul is taking advantage of, as he is trying to jam them into his house every night. Let's have a photo and a little dope on yourself Paul, so that we can give you a regular introduction. Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! WM. R. FISCHER is the Assistant Manager of the Columbia Theatre, for Loew, in Washington, D. C. As most of our members know, the house is managed by Roger Drissel, a capable showman, and this leads us to believe that Fischer is certainly in a good spot. Let's hear how you are progressing Bill. We have an idea you'll be handling your own house before long. ■Wear Your Club Pin! BENJAMIN J. JAVELLANO is the manager of the Palace Theatre in Iloilo Iloilo, Philippine Islands. We have already introduced Mr. Javellano by a story and his photo, but as every member must be represented on these pages at some time or other we are herewith introducing him again. Welcome into the Club. Ben. Let's hear from you often. 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.
