Mr. Mclntyre is a very capable showman and in view of this fact manages to keep them coming to his theatre on every play date. But since we have seen a lot of the work of showmen in Oregon, we would also like to see what Mclntyre can do so that we can pass it along and let his fellow showmen look at it. How about it, Vernie?

If you have not already done so. PLEASE send us your own photo at once. Thank you. GARRY LASSMAN is the manager of the Egyptian Theatre, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We thought that we had Milwaukee pretty well sewed up as regards membership in the Managers' Round Table Club, so we were rather surprised when the mailman brought us Mr. Lassman's applicacation. But we think that the city is now 100% Round Table. We want to welcome Garry into the Club and we are sure than his association with the many showmen will be both pleasant and profitable. Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! W.' H. STANLEY, more affectionately known as "Pop," is the relief manager for the Loew Theatres in New York and Brooklyn.

Give us a photo of yourself. Pop, for our biographies. Wear Your Club Pin.' ! ! RONALD R. AGNEW is the publicity man for the Earle in Philadelphia, Pa., and with so much showmanship being turned out around his house we feel sure that he must be taking part in some of the business building activities. Why not drop us a line or two on your work, Ronald, so that we can pass it along. You know your fellow members like to keep wised up on the show situation all over the country. Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! JOHN BURRELL manages the Liberty Theatre in Geneva, Ohio. His many associations in the town enable Mr. Burrell to turn out some excellent showmanship, and it is these associations that have also helped him to secure a great deal of good-will for his houses. We have been through the town once or twice while driving through the State but we don't recall right now just what the show conditions were. Let's have a little light on the subject, John. Wear Your Club Pin ! ! 1 VICTOR J. ROSEN manages the California Theatre in Santa Barbara, California. Besides taking care of this house, Mr. Rosen also has a District Manager's assignment to look out for, it being his duty to see that things are running right at the Granada, the Mission, and the Rose. With so many houses to take care of, he must be pretty busy, but we think that he will find time to sit down and give us the low-down on his work. How about it Victor? Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! EARLE M. TATE is the manager of the Strand Theatre in Meridian, Miss., as pretty a little town as you can expect to find for show selling possibilities.

Give us a photo and some dope on yourself, Earle, so that your fellow showmen can meet you. Wear Your Club Pin! ! ! JEROME B. HARRISON manages the Fenway Theatre in Boston, Mass.
