Old Roxy may force through another cut shortly. It Is said. New scale for Riv will place It at 76c Instead of 04c top week nights, and 86c top Instead of 99c Sats and Sundays. In legit the move down was started by Max Gordon's big mu- sical 'Flying Colors,' which, how- ever, despite the cut, couldn't In- crease Its gross, and three shows of lesser chance that week followed suit, with others expected. Legit men claim that the cuts are nec- essary, but at the same time can't flgqre out how to make their shows pay more that way. It's the same as cut rates for the legit. Lesser Slicing The Palace, reopening with vaude and second run pictures Saturday (7), reduced to 660-top weekdays. Since then both 'Warners and Loew's have dono a little slicing, "Winter Garden has dropped from an 83o to 55c, while 'the "Warner, on second run, goes to quarter high from a previous 40c. RKO reduced its Mayfair prices a couple of months ago, while Loew's did the same for the State. Ham- mered all around, largely of years by cheap early bird mats at the first runs, Loew's last week took Its price for the New York theatre down from 50c to 30o. The Nabes With the downtown New York houses coming down sharply after a long holdout, question arises as to what's going to happen in the neighborhoods of the metropolitan area They have to be a safe enough distance behind Times Square first runs In price to draw trade. Likelihood is that with the cut- ting to come all along the line, Greater New York will suddenly find Itself with a large number of cheap scaled houses. Both the foreign film hquses on the side streets off the square have slid from $1 to 75c top. Lanny Ross' Dates Lann Rosa, NBC staff tenor, cur- rently on the Maxwell House Show- boat, Is booked for three days start- ing Jan. 21 for RKO in Hempstead. L. I. Last week he played for Warners In Elizabeth, N. J., also on a net- work booking. Radio Reports (Continued from page 40) tlflcates for one or more labels from the Otits package. Same stuff has been worked overtime by severed other children's products, partict^ larly referring to the Pirate cluh idea. *JsL This is a detective series and con cerns the adventures of three kids, two boys and a girl, who are now engaged In bringing a dastardlv gang to justice. It's shaped for Juva consumption strictly—poor klda. Recording is fairly well done though there Is noticeable swshlne of the needle on some of the disks Productlpnally oke, with the per- formers standard for that type of work. The way these kid programa are crowding that 90 minutes of day- light Is becoming a gag, and a wail with adults who are complaining over the fact there's 'nothing decent between 4:30 and 6:30 o'clock' Several local advertisers have taken heed to this complaint, and there's reports that a program is going on shortly strictly for adults at this period, the advertiser feeling that ' with ofily kid competition at that time he can garner all available adult ears at that time, COWARD COMFORT Songs, Musical 30 Mins. COMMERCIAL WOR, Newark Coward's Shoes heretofore utilized WRNY for a Yiddish program to appeal to a race which, presumably, is more afflicted with bad dogs, in proportion, for the Coward shoe *8 built more for comfort than style, although the present ad spiel would have the auditors believe otherwise. At that time MIscha Levltzkl, piano virtuoso, was the attraction, with the spieling In hybrid Yiddish-Eng. llsh. Now on a better grade station, the "WOR Sunday dinner time half hour, starting at 6 p. m., EST, Is built along big league lines, 100% Anglo- Saxon, and worthy of spotting on any major station. Because the Coward stores are limited to New York, Brooklyn and Boston (the lat- ter is the source of the program) thiit's all the coverage necessary through WOR and Its New England relay. It's a pleasing musical program, reviewing the hits of yesteryear musical comedy and operetta favor- ites, mixing up-the routines, with the Coward Singers In ensemble, plus vocal solos and duets by Walter Kidder, baritone; George Barr and Mary Wheeler. "There Is also a violin solo and orchestral Interludes. The ad portion Is well done. There's the annouhcement of 'Cow- ard Shoe Flash,' and then follows a little dialogic, routine between a Coward shoe salesman and two girls, apparently . sisters, stressing . that while both dress and look very much alike, their orthopedic ele- ments forfend wearing the saths shoes, and that neither can order shoes exactly alike for reasons which the exploitive continuity con- veys effectively enough. Later on there's a little Institu- tional bally about the principles set down by James S. Coward, the founder, 66 years ago. Addresses' of the stores In New York and Brook- lyn are glibly Introduced as a source where the listeners may write to make requests for their favorites of which the program Is comprised. The sabbath 6 p. m. hour Is ideal for a program such as this and the popular musical elem»"nts are en- gaging enough not to cause 'em to dial Out. Of course, there's some- what strong competition on the rival chains at that hour but as relief from the regular features this will appeal, and, what's more, encourage new regulars. Abel. S. & -B. IN N. Y. ONIT Stoopnagle and Budd resume their personal appearance dates Feb. 10. First date takes them into the 'Valencia, Jamaica, for Loew. Be- cause of the Pontiac contrabt, which requires their presence In the CBS studio for all broadcasts, the team will confine its sta^e bookings to the metropolitan area.
