14 Jan 1 T 3 5 THE PHILADELPHIA EXHIBITOR GOOD WILL. Tie-up was made by Imperial Theatre, here, with local boy scout troop, to station scouts in the lobby to repair old and broken toys, which when completed were distributed to poor children in the immediate neighborhood. Photo shows manager Dick Kirsh accept¬ ing a toy from one of the kid patrons. THIS IS THE WAY. Manager Sam Gilman and his assistant, Bob Etchberger, took advantage of the holi¬ day season to announce the arrival of “Babes In Toyland,” Loew’s Regent Theatre, Harrisburg. Be¬ hind the gigantic faces of Laurel and Hardy are two of Sam’s ushers. Between them is a “mechanical man,” so called because of his un¬ usual ability to control his muscles. Impersonating a toy soldier, he never changed his facial expression. BUDDING PRODUCER. W. Ray Johnston, president, Monogram, congratulates Aaron Klein on his first production for the Civic Rep¬ ertory Theatre, Allentown. Klein is the nephew of the late Mark M. Dintenfass, motion picture pioneer. FEWER PICTURES. Joseph M. Schenck, president, United Artists and 20th Century Pictures, sees fewer and better pictures the goal in 1935. He also believes the Legion of Decency has done good work for the future of the business.
