Johnston "Chick" Lewis Honorary Chairman Chairman WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? THESE SHOWMEN SAY SO! HERMAN SHULGOLD is the manager of the Roxian Theatre in McKees Rocks, Pa., and though this is not the first time he has appeared on our pages, his other appearance being in conjunction with a corking story — he will have to be represented here in order that the other portals of the Club pages be opened for him. And now that you are in, Herman, give us a photo of yourself, so that we can let you meet the rest of the Club and thev meet you. O. K.? ■ Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! P. D. GRIFFITH is the manager of the Ritz Theatre in Macon, Ga. For any dope on Mr. Griffith's showmanship, you need but to look up a back number of the Round Table section and see what he did to sell "Manslaughter." Being pretty solid with his local authorities, 'P. D." is enabled to get in lots of valuable showselling slants. Let's have more of them, 'P. D." And include your photo, also. Wear Your Club Pin' ! ! GUY MARTIN is connected with the Publix Theatres Corp. in Indiana, Ind. He has been in the show game for a number of years, during which he has picked up many and various slants on show selling. We hope that when he has time he will pass some of them along to us in a nice little story. And we'd also like a photo of yourself, Guy. Wear Your Club Pin' ! ! ED. R. MOORE manages the Rahway Theatre in Rahway, New Jersey. Ed is not altogether unknown to the Club, as the work he turned out while in York, Pa., has appeared on our pages from time to time. Now that he is all set with the Arkayo outfit, we think that some more of his showmanship will be on display shortly. Keep us posted, Ed. Wear Your Club Pin' ! ! ■ DONALD N. FULLER is the manager of the Jeffris Theatre in Janesville, Wisconsin. We have been recording a great deal of activity from Wisconsin lately, and we'd like to see Mr. Fuller figuring in on it. The best way to do this, Donald, is to shoot us in some of your work. We have an idea that you turn out some stunts on every picture. Let's see if we're right. Wear Your Club Pin! ! .' GENE BANDELLER is the advertising manager of the Ki-HeKah Theatre in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. The house is managed by Arthur Abbott. If all of the campaigns that are turned out come up to the recent ■one on "Dixiana," we think that we'll have a couple of good slants to pass along. Keep us in touch with what's going on in the show-selling line, Gene, so that we can let the rest of the Club see it. Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! C. V. MARSHALL manages the Empress Theatre in North Battleford, Sas., Canada. He is the latest of the Canadian showmen to hop onto the Club bandwagon. We want to welcome him into the Club and let him know that we are sure his association with us will be both pleasant and profitable. Send us a photo and a little information on yourself, "C. V.," so the rest of the Club can see you. Oke? Wear Your Club Pin! .' ! HENRY RACZYNSKI is the assistant manager of the Fredo Theatre in Detroit, Mich. He is located in a house of 600 seats, and in a neighborhood that offers him an opportunity of learning real showmanship, first hand. We would like you to keep us in touch with your work, Henry, so that we t can report your progress. RAYMOND KLEIN handles publicity over in Jersey. Raymond has a rather unique position, his job being to promote harmonica contests in various houses throughout the city. He has been pretty good at it thus far, recording a bunch of winners. We passed a little story along a short time ago and set forth in detail just how he works. We are sure that we will have some more accounts from him in the near future. Keep your eye on the pages and get the low-down. Wear Your Club Pin! ! 1 — CHARLES H. GLENAR is the Assistant Manager of the Ogden Theatre in New York City. His membership blank is accompanied by a note from the manager, Mr. Green, which states that Glenar is rapidly advancing along the show line. With a send-off like that, Charles, you must be doing good work to keep things humming at the house. Keep us posted, will you? ■Wear Your Club Pin! ! H. J. THATCHER manages the Tivoli Theatre in Michigan City, Ind. His work is pretty well known about the town, and it is often that he aids the local merchants by his tie-ups. We hope that in the future we will receive a lot of his work so that we can pass it along to his fellow members and showmen in the Managers' Round Table Club. And let's make it soon, "H. J." -Wear Your Club Pin! ! LOUIS ST. PIERRE is the manager of Coronado Theatre in Rockford, Illinois, for the Publix outfit. In the somewhat dim and distant past we can recall driving through Rockford and stopping to chat for a moment with a showman friend of ours. We don't know but that the show situation in the town has changed considerably, particularly since the talkies came into vogue, so we hope that when he sends us in his next contribution Mr. St. Pierre will also include a note on the show status and also a photo of himself. ■ Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! ELMER FITZGIBBONS is the manager of the Madison Theatre in Peoria. III. Peoria, as we understand it, is very well known as a town where it takes showmanship to sell amusement attractions. And then again, they may not be so hard a town to get along in. In order to clear up this matter, Elmer, why not set forth the dope the next time you give us your contribution? Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! DICK WAGNER manages the Capitol Theatre in Sioux Falls. South Dakota, out where showmanship is often displayed. And we can prove this statement by asking that you refer to past issues of the Managers' Round Table Club Section in Motion Picture News and see for yourself. Welcome into the Club, Dick. We want to 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.
