At Senator, reissue of -'.Souls' at Sea' rather than 'Is Everybody Happy' gets, most of the credit.for okay trade at this spot, and Stanley, returning to vaude for first time in three weeks - with Glen Gray!s band and. 'Adventures of Tartu,' is doing well enough although not quite up to expectations. .

The most-popular is a chiz worked by'tlie liquor, saiesinen who come to the re- tailers ahd ask (hey be.^old n case.of goods, supposedly for own use, at cost or iiear.cpst pr+««. The retailer,- who . ' to shoo away the liquor peddler, and who now treats him with a hew respect, docs so in'the hope the salesman Will take ihis into consideration. What, happens i.s that the peddlers tlicn r retail the wet goods to- friends, at $10' to $12 a bottle. This is/a soft touch, because, anything in Scotch or bourbon form is a rarity these days. Bourbon has skyrocketed with Scotch, because the U. S. taste has veered to bourbbn .for some reason Johnny Walker black- label , and Canadian Club are the two moll boolicgged items on the market. . Bootlegging, ■ however, isn't as prevalent as believed; the■ mobs are. going .'in..morje for hijacking. This liquor, of course,, finds its way ihlo the black.market somehow. : Retailers are fighting the; shortage in divers manners. One is to: plug the ..sales of- vermouths' and wines, and these are catching on.; Mulled wine, i.e. spiced, a la hot toddy, is being plugged:for winter, consumpr tipn. The secondary niteries are like- wise, plugging these items. ; While the wine profit is bigger, the turnover'is lighter. .There are/plenty, of rums still available,, domestic and Cuban; also domestic brandies and wines. Sola (South American) gin fs getting a play. The metropolitan N. Y. rnarket doesn't go for the Cuban gin, but New : England and the midwest .does.. . Vermouth-and-soda are starting io : go better'for home consumption and in ihe bars: The : block-booking idea is now true in the liquor business as it. was in the: picture industry; you buy a. lot of 'b' items in order to. get a bpttle of 'A' Scotch. . • The policing agencies, are nullified by; a curious hands-off idea. The Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) in N. Y. hai- no jurisdiction- oyer price; and the OPA can't police the prices,..because of lack of nianppwer. The .OPA will only: step in: when < there is a civilian cprnplaint, and the silualioii today is that the ultimate consumer is so pleased to get a bottle of Scotch or bourbon lie's the. last to complain. Invariably the customer can't buy a boltle of spirits unless he also takes two bottles of wines, along, -that being the current popu- lar custom. So bold ,have« some of the boot- leggers become thai some of 'em are selling gallons of alcohol wilh a.rye essence and- merely.- telling the bar- keeps lo use that in the rye refills. Of course (lie reputable pubs don't go for it, but it's reportedly a spread- ing racket. ■ ' , On the other hand the topnotch bistros are buying in the black mar- ket but serving Ihe mccoy brands at upped tariffs per drink.
