Currently 'Trouble- for Two' at the Buffalo looks like seccJnd best for the week with 'King Steps Out' at the Lafayette running ahead of it. Decoration Day weekend helped •figures considerably. ■ Buffalo tied up 'Trouble for Two' with seasonable merchandise dlS; plays, despite a bad weather breal'c which had the public running for overcoats. instead of bathing suits. Holiday accessories were plugged In department store advertising with tlfe-lns of Rosalind Russell and Bob Montgomery. 'Trouble' angle was worked up In co-opera- tion -with household .devices, in- cluding refrigierators for a 'no trouble' campaign.' Plenty of win- dow displays In the downtown sec- tions emphasizing June bride poses by Miss Russell, who was a former stock favorite here.
