Movie Age (1927)

PAGE 12 MOVIE AGE Since the consolidation of Pathe and P. D. C. offices there has been consider¬ able talk about who would be the man¬ ager, and the results of the merger has been that Branson and Kaufman, the former Pathe managers, will handle all Pathe short subjects, serials and wes¬ terns, while A1 Danke of Omaha and Les Phillips of Des Moines will be in charge of the DeMille products. There really is no title of branch manager at either place, but the old managers are acting more in the capacity of sales managers of the above mentioned products. * * * Leon Mendelson, booker for First Na¬ tional in Omaha, returned to his post of duty last Monday after a wonderful va¬ cation. Leon says he would like to hear from his exhibitor friends, and wants them to “say it with bookings.” * * * Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Walcott of the Wal¬ cott theatre at Davenport, Nebraska, were in Omaha last Monday. * * * H. B. Weeks, booker for DeMille Fea¬ tures in Omaha, left today with his wife for a two weeks vacation trip to Louis¬ ville, Ky. As we remember there used to be a few distilleries down there. May¬ be Mr. Weeks knows what he is doing. * * * Miss Jeanette Gilinsky, cashier for United Artists, left last Saturday for a two weeks vacation which she is spend¬ ing in Los Angeles. * * * Chas Feldman, is the new salesman for United Artists, and is covering the Iowa territory. * * * J. W. Blair has bought the Moon theatre at Spencer, Nebraska, from C. Kehlsen. Both of these showmen were in Omaha last Tuesday arranging bookings. * * * Mr. Porter of the Porter Amusement of Holdrege, Nebraska, was in Omaha last Monday on business. * * * It is reported that “Skinny” Ebersole of the Majestic theatre at Avoca, Iowa, was obliged to sell his golf clubs to help make the down payment on the new Buick sedan he is now sporting. We have our doubts about “Skinny” selling his golf outfit, but congratulate him on his new car. * * * H. A. Larson of the Majestic theatre at Oakland, Nebraska, is spending his vacation in the Black Hills. * * * F. W.
