Brown Joins “Hole-In-One” Club At Harlan Ray Brown, of the Lyric Theatre at Harlan, Iowa, has qualified for the ex¬ clusive “hole in one” club, and since the perfect shot can hardly get his mind on the show business. Ray has always been considered a very good golfer, and since he is able to sink his tee shots, we don’t think there is any question about his ability. By the way, Ray says he will be on hand for the Movie Age tourna¬ ment Monday and Tuesday, September 12 and 13, but has promised that he will not try to make a “hole in one” then.

MOVIE AGE wel¬ comes the contribution of “Five Years Ago” items from any of its readers. “Benjamin-Calvert Month”, honoring the officials of the Omaha F. B. O.' ex¬ change, was put over with a flock of play dates that impressed the editor to confess no knowledge of a business drive of equal success in the annals of Omaha filmdom. Universal’s House Peters’ special, “The Storm” did a wonderful business in Des Moines this week. Steve O’Brien, manager of the Omaha Select office, announced a showing of the piece, “Love is an Awful Thing.” — A great exploitation gag with the femin¬ ist group. The Omaha Goldwyn office won first place in the July drive for play dates. Roses to Messrs. Reingold, Friedberg, Singleton, Sanders and Lynch. Blaine Cook purchased the Gilbert theatre at Beatrice, Neb, from George Munroe. Two Omaha Organists Soon To Leave For Other Cities Louis A. Webb, who presides at the console at the Rialto Theatre, is expect¬ ing a transfer to a Publix house in some other city before the first of the month, and Alberta Buck the charming organ¬ ist at the Moon Theatre will leave the first of the week for Kansas City where she will become chief organist at the Pantages house there. We might add that Arthur Hays, World Theatre organist recently received a flattering offer from Nathaniel Finston of the Publix theatres to accept the console in the new Loew Theatre to be opened in Pittsburgh. By a strange coincidence, the big organ which will be installed in the Pittsburgh theatre was built on the Pacific coast and was given its first test at the factory by one of Hays’ pu¬ pils, Edward Butler of Council Bluffs, who is now playing at the Riviera Thea¬ tre at Avalon, Calif. Mr, Hays did not accept the Pitts¬ burgh offer, although his contract at the World expires the first of Septem¬ ber and must be renewed if he stays here for another year. Hartington, Nebr. — M. T. Bingham of Hartington has announced that he has leased the motion picture house at Crofton and will take possession on Septem¬ ber 1. Barney Hellem, Mack Sennett comedy player, in Pathe Comedies
