OUT-OF-SOWN CRIX IN LAST LAP
Coast's AFM Out -of -Town Critics' Accuracy
Socks Tonkins Averages
With 20G Fine '(May 1, 1946, to February 15, 1947)
HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 15. -
AFM 47 dished out the most severe
Local
penalty in its history when it tacked
a $20,000 fine on Van Tonkins, per-
sonal manager and part-time fronter
of Teen -Agers' ork. Union found
Tonkins guilty of 40 violations, each
carrying a $500 fine.
Union charged that Tonkins had
paid under scale for one -nighters and
breached union's code of good faith
and fain dealing with musicians.
Twenty members of teen- timers crew
lodged individual complaints with
union, demanding back payments to-
taling $3,100 for road engagements
from April to November, 1946. AFM
execs stated that other violations had
been uncovered for periods as far
back as two and three years before
formal charges were made.
When called on the carpet at closed
trial board hearing, union revealed
that Tonkins attempted to wiggle out
of charges by resigning from union.
AFM refused to accept resignation,
however, insisting that Tonkins stand
trial on charges.
Since it is obvious that Tonkins
will make no effort to shell out fine,
union is taking steps to expell him
from org and has placed Tonkins on
national unfair list prior to more
severe action. It was learned at Lo-
cal 47 offices that Tonkins has once
before been in dutch with union,
having lost his personal manager's li-
cense several years ago. Subse-
quently he rejoined union as a work-
ing member, thus getting back in
p. m. field.i
Band meanwhile is inactive, but
will reorganize under title of Former
Teen -Agers' Band, to be fronted by
Charley Payne.

 4 GENERAL NEWS
Potential Sponsors' Eyes
Caught by Socko Preem of
Television in Mound City
Called Outstanding Advertising Medium of Future
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 15.-"Our op- and executives of agencies handling
eration this week proves that an inde-
pendent station in a secondary mar-
ket can and should get into television
right now." That is the way Robert
L. Coe, chief engineer of KSD, St.
Louis Post -Dispatch, and head of its
new video outlet, KSD -TV, summed
up the first week of operation of the
country's first new commercial post-
war television station.
It is Coe's contention that any or-
ganization seeking to be a force in
its community and a leader in the
dissemination of information and
entertainment must get into tele-
vision. The operation this week, to
which the eyes of the television in-
dustry all over the country have
been turned because it was in the
nature of a guinea pig-an attempt
by a station other than one in the
major markets of New York, Los
Angeles and Chicago to swing right
into full -time commercial operation
was a success. The topic of conver-
sation in St. Louis homes, hotels and
bars was television. Thousands of
St. Louisians gathered at video re-
ceivers in department stores and ho-
tels. Indicative of the public reac-
tion were the records of attendance
chalked up by the Famous and Barr
Department Store. According to A.
D. Buckland, advertising executive
for the store, about 45,000 people
witnessed television at the store dur-
ing the week.
In addition to this display of public
interest, thousands more witnessed
man -on -the-street shows, visited the
KSD studios to see the programs or
called the station for information
,
about television, where sets could be
bought, etc.

S Due for NBC
HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 15.-Attempt
to keep Jo Stafford out of the drawn -
out suit filed by ex -Pied Piper
Johnny Huddleston failed last week
when Superior Court Judge Allen
Ashburn ruled that the former Piper
thrush must be brought into the
forthcoming court battle (The Bill-
board, February 8). Court ruling
held that since Miss Stafford was a
party to the original alleged partner-
ship contract between Huddleston,
Pipers Lowry and Yocum and her-
self, it will be necessary for her to
become a defendant in the case.
Pipers' attorney Max Fink at the
same time won a plea for declaratory
relief, thereby consolidating two
State court suits and making the Su-
perior Court's decisions binding on
all subsequent claims filed by Hud-
dleston. Case will probably be heard

CHI WRITERS' SHORT PAY BEEF
Get Less Than
Actors on Own
Serial Shows
No Raise Since Before War
CHICAGO, Feb. 15. - With the
Radio Writers' Guild currently work-
ing toward network contracts to
cover free lance scriveners, beefing
among writer circles is reaching a
new high here. Primarily, the new
yowls result from the realization
that as a result of the new AFRA
contract, many Chi scribblers now
earn less than the thesps who give
voice to their words. As a result,
writers are asking, "Should writers
eat ?" or "Should writers eat their
their own words?"
Some scripters also voice the opin-
ion that they are being made the un-
willing victims of a squeeze play,
stemming from the 25 per cent AFRA
hike and the 181/2 per cent boost
given musicians. They believe that
sponsors are trying to compensate for
these increases by taking it out of
the writing budget. Situation doesn't
disturb staffers who belong to RWG,
but free lancers and non -union men
of letters are considerably concerned,
with the loudest beefs emanating
from free lancers on local and Chi-
originated web stanzas.
Orin Tuvrov, head of the Chi RWG,
told The Billboard last week that
fees for free lance literateurs have
gone up little, if at all, since before
the war. Contrasted to this is the
fact that actors and musicians, even
those working at scale, are being
paid on the basis of two wage in-
creases, negotiated since the war, one
in '44 and the other just recently.
Cost of living increases, point out
writers, hit everyone.
Here are typical instances: One
five -time -a -week kid show writer
here is getting only $200, or $40 a
script, with the basic idea included.
AFRA acting scale for such shows is
a bit more than $150, but leads in-
variably get over scale. In this case,
the top player in the cast gets con-
hiderable more than the writer. On
another strip show here, the writer
is getting but $100 a week. Not only
do the steady cast members get more,
but the director does, too. Average
fees here for half -hour web com-
mercials range from $100 to $150.
"It ain't good," says the writers, add-
ing that it's considerably below New
York or Hollywood par.
Writers direct their bitterness
against agency and web execs who
adopt what they feel is a short-
sighted policy in trying to economize
at the expense of the writer and also
at the expense of their own programs.
They ask the inevitable-"Without
writers, how can you have scripts ?"

Y&R Takes Option

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Young &
Rubicam reportedly has taken an
option on Tex Beneke and the Glenn
Miller band and is considering using
same as a summer replacement for
the Ginny Simms Borden show. Late
this week, deal for the band was
plenty hot. Angle holding it up,
however, is the fact that the band
wants to travel, during the summer,
and Y & R would prefer to have it
stay put so that the agency could
supervise production.
Type of show being mulled is a
quiz, with Tex as emsee. Option

To Figure Chi AFM
Guest - Shot Ruling
CHICAGO, Feb. 15.- Status of a
recent dictum of Local 10, AFM Chi
local, imposing severe restrictions and
a $200 minimum fee on radio guest
shots of local members, was plenty
confused this week. Razzmatazz
situash resulted from an apparent bit
of backtracking by Ed Benkert, Local
10 secretary.
Chronological sequence goes some-
thing like this: Local recently enacted
a law asking a minimum of $200 per
guest shot for members, half to go to
the local and half to the individual.
This week, it was reported that the
union had followed this up by ban-
ning all such guest appearances.
When The Billboard called to verify,
Benkert stated such a ruling had been
made a week ago. Reason he gave
was that the local had decided that it
was best for its members to stick to
their music -making jobs.
Benkert then inquired as to wheth-
er the story was to be printed, and
when told it would be, retracted his
statement. When clarification was
sought, Benkert terminated the con-
versation rather neatly -slamming
down the phone.
Only additional info known is that
Benkert has told several others mak-
ing inquiries that radio dates for
Local 10 members are out from now
on.

Chi Stations,
AFRA Talks
In Stalemate
CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-Snag was
struck in negotiations this week be-
tween AFRA and Chi's seven Class B
stations. Altho some segs of trade
hoped for a speedy settlement, most
did not.
AFRA is asking for a 35 per cent
increase in announcers' salaries
(present minimum is $63.50) and a
30 per cent increase for singers and
actors. Very few singers and actors
are on Class B stations here, how-
ever.
It was learned that AFRA and the
stations are about $10 per week apart
on the question of salaries. Also
working conditions which the union
is asking for in the contract are re-
quiring serious study by the station
execs.
A station spokesman stated em-
phatically that stations would not
"give a penny more" for salaries.
Understood the stations have offered
$77.50 minimum while union de-
mands $87.50. Negotiations will
probably continue next week.
Trade Pubs Stories
On Chi Originators
Draw Ryan's Fire
CHICAGO, Feb. 15. - Recent
stories in some trade publications
(not The Billboard) that Chi had
only one web origination drew heavy
fire this week from Jack Ryan, NBC's
Central Division flack chief. Ryan
sent out a hotly worded memo to
radio and trade editors with list of
55 Chi web originations.
Ryan's memo follows:
"Within recent weeks many peo-
ple have been given an entirely er-
roneous idea about Chicago as a
radio production center thru various
stories and statements indicating that
this is a network ghost town. There
are enough network shows originat-
ing in Chicago to keep a lot of peo-
ple very busy.
"As of this date, February 13, 1947,
the four major networks are pro-
ducing 55 network shows.
"For the sake of the record and
for your reference, a list of these
shows is attached. There are two
reasons why NBC shows are listed
first in this summary. 1. I am using
NBC's money to pay for compiling
this material and getting the list to
you, and the company ought to get a
break. 2. According to the way my
figures add up NBC seems to have
more network originations out of this
town than anybody else."
802 Asks Reprieve for CBS
Latin- American Orchestra
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Local 802,
American Federation of Musicians, is
mulling advisability of trying to per-
suade CBS to retain Alfred An-
tonini's ork for the web's Latin -
American network. Antonini and his
10 -piece ork were given eight weeks'
notice last week, with CBS decid-
ing to drop the band owing to ris-
ing operation costs.
Local's hope is that altho costs
have risen, CBS has consistently
showed an increase in profits, and
therefore might be persuaded to keep
the show.
February 22, 1947
AFRA Lands 25%
Hike at N. Y, Indies
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.- American
Federation of Radio Artists signed
an 18 -month contract with WNEW,
New York, this week, and expected
to have signatures on its one -year
deals with WINS and WMCA in a
day or two. Negotiations had been
going on for about a month.
New deals give staff announcers
pay increases which will bring the
average spielers' pay to about $100,
altho the individual station contracts
vary according to the nature of the
biz each does. WNEW minimum is
around $65, plus $1 for each spot
announced and $1.50 for newscasts.
WMCA will pay $100 weekly, includ-
ing spots, and WINS $105, including
spots. WNEW spot fee pool was dis-
continued, each announcer keeping
his own fees.
Actors' fees went up to $9 per
quarter -hour from $7.50. Rehearsal
pay remains the same, $2.50 for an
hour's rehearsal, one hour minimum
required.
Average raise for all concerned is
about 25 per cent.
Drop Detroit
"Bank Night"
DETROIT, Feb. 15.-Plans for a
weekly cash giveaway with prizes
starting at $500 to be sponsored by
about 60 theaters were abandoned
at a meeting of the Michigan Inde-
pendent Theater Owners' Association
here Thursday (13). Idea was pro-
jected about two months ago, as
reported in The Billboard at that
time, and the idea looked like the
biggest cash giveaway deal on a
permanent basis in the radio -movie
tie -up field.
Opposition speedily developed
from other theater owners, however,
with many show managers taking
the position that any giveaway of
this sort should be stopped as a lot-
tery. Detroit has been very cool to
bank night and its numerous kin,
even when they were welcomed in
other parts of the country. Some
concern was expressed whether the
Detroit idea would be acceptable to
the FCC, but the MITO claim it is
fully legal.
A spokesman for the group said
they dropped the idea "in the in-
terest of harmony in the (motion
picture) industry."
Reichhold Still After
WQXR-Type for Detroit
DETROIT, Feb. 15. -Plans to es-
tablish a local radio station have not
been dropped by Henry Reichhold,
manufacturer and angel of the De-
troit Symphony. This counters ru-
mors that he had dropped plans to
seek a station license.
No early developments in the way
of a local station are likely, how-
ever. Goal is frankly something like
WQXR in New York, which has not
hitherto been found commercially
feasible in any other city.
Reichhold feels there is enough of
a local population potential to make
this possible. His original plans, in-
cidentally, suggested the possibility
of an application for a clear -channel
station, which would give a much
wider listening potential.

Neither union toppers nor net-

shot theory to clients is viewed by
agency execs not only as a new ap-
proach to program development, but
as a possible new avenue of radio
advertising. It's claimed, for in-
stance, that a client with a small
budget would do better, in prestige,
advertising impact and publicity by
bankrolling a series of selected one -
shots than he would by sponsoring a
run -of- the -mill program. Client may
land only low ratings with his one -
shots -but there's the incentive that
he may really uncover a sleeper.
Similar Tele Deal
Idea for this type of agency- client-
web co- operation in radio stems from
K &E's plans for its television experi-
mentation, bankrolled by Borden's.
After a session with Young & Rubi-
cam, which handled I Love To Eat
over WNBT, Borden switched to
figures has commercial possibilities.
Tho K&E expects to handle the
Borden video experimentation for
only 26 weeks, agency and web will
work out no specific time schedule
and no 'specific series of programs.
Two shows may be telecast on one
night; time periods may be changed
continually, etc. Meanwhile, the
agency will go all out to seek a com-
mercial formula on the different
shows. In the event agency and web
come up with something hot, K &E
expects to land a permanent video
commercial.
One of the prime reasons Garth
Montgomery was brought into K&E
recently was to work out commer-
cials for the Borden video shows.
He'll go at it with Tom Carpenter,
head of commercial copy. Art Moore
will produce, with debut show slated
for March 1.

By Our Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Ques-
tion whether a monopoly will be en-
couraged in the multi -million dollar
video industry by the decision on up-
stairs color standards is overshadow-
ing all other considerations in the
Federal Communications Commis-
sion's deliberations, The Billboard
has learned reliably. Commish,
which would up final hearings here
this week in the dispute between
low-band black-whites and ultra-
high color proponents has - been
sounding out top legalists of both
factions for off the record views on
the economic issue. This is regarded
as of topmost significance since .the
FCC, in originally outlining the scope
of the hearing, confined proceedings
solely to "engineering" issues in-
volved in Columbia Broadcasting
System's petition to open the present
upstairs experimental TV band for
commercial operations. As revealed
in The Billboard after the first hear-
ings here last December, monopoly
issue dominated backstage discus-
sions. Apparently the question now
has become the all- important one for
FCC to answer altho the official
decish which is expected within a
few weeks may not specifically ex-
plore this subject.
Commission's interest in getting
an answer to the monopoly question
revealed itself more glaringly than
ever before in a question put to top
industry lawyers at a brief, closed
door conference during a recess this
week.
It was learned that the attorneys
were asked whether they consider
the commish authorized to change
standards once a system was under

proposed new system might offer ad-

Matches, Maybe?
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-
Some diversion-yet with a
serious undertone-was occa-
sioned here during the color
hearings this week as to whether
FCC "has jurisdiction over
light." Question arose as the
result of Dr. Allen B. DuMont's
experiments with video trans-
mission on a light beam, which
the inventor patented in 1934,
and which, he stated this week,
eventually will be practical for
commercial use.
One legalite stated that if
FCC were to attempt regulating
light beam transmission, it could
be expected to "regulate every-
thing from flashlights to street
lamps." Another merely ob-
served: "Ain't they got enough
trouble now?"
ditional features. Legalists for the
black -white downstairs faction are
known to have replied that the
commish would be justified only if it
could be proved that the proposed
new system would offer "revolution-
ary improvements" at a "lower cost"
to broadcasters and the public.
Varying Views
CBS legalists have been contending
that upstairs color offers drastic im-
provements. Question of costs has
remained one of the most debatable
points of discussion with the black -
whiters insisting that CBS upstairs
color is "too costly" for popular use
and far more costly than downstairs
TV. CBS has been arguing that the
system could be installed without
undue expense compared with black-
white.
Because of the explosiveness of the
economic question, backstage talk
about a possible straddle by FCC
gained steam in the wake of the
wind-up Thursday (13) of four days'
hearings here. One compromise sug-
gested as a possibility in behind -
scenes discussions is a decish which
would invite further propagation and
engineering studies on ultra -high
band, but such a ruling woùld be
considered to be tantamount to a de-
feat for CBS, since it would in effect
be a denial of the petition on the
ground that upstairs color is not
ready for commercial operation.
I-
However, it is possible FCC might
put a time-limit on the studies.
A decish by FCC authorizing
"dual- band" operation continuation
$19.50 I of low band black -white and intro-
duction of commercial color on high
band would be considered a defeat
rather than a compromise for black-
whiters, who have insisted that dual -
band operation would prolong "an
== uncertainty" in the entire video in-
dustry, chiefly at the cost of black -
white development. Also the black-
whiters say dual -band TV is finan-
cially prohibitive.
Huge Invesrments
With present investment in down-
stairs black -white estimated to ex-
ceed $200 million and CBS staking
its future in TV on several millith s

research, question of financial loss
and gain is inescapable. Viewed as
considerably more important is the

impact of a decision on the imme-
diate future. CBS would be certain
to get a long head -start if FCC upped
commercial standards, while black -
whiters are ready to push rapidly
ahead, presumably at expense of

Both sides have shrewdly anticipated

FCC Decish
Industry Bitterly Divided
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-A new
wava of applications for commercial
video stations is being forecast in
industry circles in the event of a
decisive ruling by the Federal Com-
munications Commission on the
downstairs-upstairs TV issue. Black -
whiters are insisting that a flood of
applications will greet a downstairs
decish, while ultra -high protagonists
are declaring that approval of Co-
lumbia Broadcasting System's bid
would result in mushrooming of com-
mercial color.
Complicating the rival claims are
assertions by CBS that if black -white
wins, CBS will drop its research,
while black- whites say that a victory
for upstairs color would stymie prac-
tically all current TV production and
black-white broadcasting. Final
phase of FCC's hearing left the in-
dustry bitterly divided, with tempers
continuing to flare even after FCC
had closed the record on the final
four days of testimony.
Almost two -thirds of this week's
hearing revolved around claims and
counter -claims on whether CBS's
filter color system is practical enough
to warrant an immediate commercial
band on existing experimental chan-
nels. CBS rested its case in final
moments of hearings in pleas for
dual -band, pointing out that it was
not concerned about black-white op-
erations in present 44 -216 MC. band
for commercial TV but only wanted
additional upstairs band for com-
mercial color. CBS, in addition, pro-
posed that a new ultra -high channel
be made available for experimental
TV.
BM Stand
Allen B. DuMont Laboratories, Ra-
dio Corporation of America, National
Broadcasting Company and Westing-
house, carrying the ball for down-
.
stairs video, argued that CBS's color
demonstrations showed the CBS sys-
tem to be "immature" and insisted
that any attempt to commercialize it
now would destroy public taste for
color and discourage downstairs
black -white development.
Hearing, originally set for two
days, wound up Thursday (13) with
final shots fired by E. W. Engstrom,
v. -p. in charge of research at RCA,
and G. L. Beers on behalf of RCA
and NBC. Engstrom charged that
CBS color television "is not only far
from being ready for commercializa -'
tion, but also has basic limitations so
that it can never render a satisfac
tory commercial service." He in-
sisted that RCA's simultaneous color
system "is compatible with the pres-
ent commercial black-and -white tele-
vision and solves the problem of
obsolescence." Beers put emphasis
on allegedly low cost of black-white
TV.
Dr. Peter S. Goldmark, chief TV
engineer for CBS and Adrian Mur-
phy, of CBS, declared that black -
whiters' arguments were "obstruc-
tionistic." Murphy argued that up-
stairs color was practical enough to
go forward on a commercial basis on
an equal footing with black-white.

Tele "Monopoly"
Intrigues GOP
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-GOP-
controlled Congress is watching
closely the running battle on tele-
vision with the idea of staging an
inquiry to determine whether the
public is being deprived of its use be-
cause of conflicts within the industry
and uncertainties resulting from the
temporary nature of standards, it was
learned this week. Chairman Charles
A. Wolverton (R., N. J.) of the
House Interstate and Foreign Com-
merce Committee, told The Billboard
today that his committee was "greatly
interested" in the subject, but added
that no hearings were planned yet
and no legislation had been intro-
duced. Question of monopoly in tele
is reportedly drawing increased Con-
gressional interest, with Department
of Justice also sharpening its watch-
fulness.
Congressional interest, it was re-
vealed, has risen sharply as a result
of Federal Communications Com-
mission's hearings on the fateful is-
sue of downstairs- upstairs video. One
congressman, who preferred to re-
main unnamed, said that Congress
"could not possibly ignore the fight
between the titans of the communi-
cations industry," and added that
the feeling prevailed that FCC in the
role of referee faces "probably one
of the toughest issues that any regu-
latory body has yet been called upon
to decide." It is increasingly ap-
parent that the commish's decision
on the color video question will be
exhaustively studied on "the hill."
Meanwhile, the Justice Department
is continuing an inquiry into the role
of the movie industry in television,
with interest centering on whether
large screens have been held back
from tele by motion picture interests.
Also, as result of testimony put on
record in this week's color video
hearing, Justice Department is study-
ing complaints that 35mm. film for
color tele is being bottlenecked.
tioning by Commissioners E. W. Jett
and Rosel Hyde on whether the two
systems operating simultaneously
,would prove workable. Chairman
Charles Denny in intermittent re-
marks left a strong impression that
commish felt that the full case was
in and that no additional demon-
strations or hearings would be
needed.
Craven Supports Color
T. A. M. Craven, veepee of Cowles
Broadcasting Company, contended
that CBS color demonstrations, un-
der normal lighting condition, was
equally "if not more useful than any
of the black- and-white demonstra-
strations." He said that color video
"is far more ready than black -and-

On Roller
Rinks Set
"Admish Clause" Twist
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-BMI li-
censing org setting a drive to sign
up roller- skating rink operators' na-
tionally, it was learned this week.
Rinks will be approached under a
new-type contract which differs not
only from the ASCAP rate schedule
but marks a new twist in BMI type
of paper which normally collects for
performance of music on a "music
pay -roll" basis.
New plan to be applied to rink ops
calls for "licensee to pay to BMI dur-
ing each year of the contract a sum
equal to the maximum price charged
at the premises for one adult admish
ticket, excluding federal tax, multi-
plied by the number of weeks or
parts of weeks that such establish-
ment shall be open during such year."
This plan applies provided rinks do
not use "live" music. Then the fee
will be on a normal "music pay -roll"
basis, which calls for one -half of i

ASCAP-BMI Beset by State
Tax Bill; Conn. Follows hid. ASCAP After
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.- Individual
State legal moves against ASCAP,
BMI and other music collection orgs
-which started anew in Indiana last
week-were capped this week by a
measure introduced in Connecticut
State Legislature proposing a new tax
against all composer groups.
Connecticut bill, introed by State
Senator Rocco Pallotti, would tax all
music composers' associations 10 per
cent of gross income rung up in State
territory.
Bill was a rapid follow -up to the
"anti-music monopoly" bill present-
ed in Indiana legislative house by
State Senator Samuel E. Johnson last
week. Johnson's measure, which
brought ASCAP's John Paine and
Louis Frohlich flying to Indianapolis
early in the week, would virtually
outlaw ASCAP, BMI, etc., if passed by
both houses. Measure would make it
"unlawful for writers, printers or
pubs to form, associate or become
members in any combination, the ob-
jective of which is to own or control
the right to perform musical compo-
sitions for profit." Such combination
would be illegal if it fixed license
fees or attempted to contract for pub-
lic performance rights. At the same
time, Representative Herbert M.
Copeland offered a House bill aimed
must obtain a license from the State
before it can itself issue licenses for
performance of copyright music.
Altho both Paine and Frohlich had
returned to New York by the week-
end, they could not be reached for
comment on their Indiana trek. BMI
spokesmen, however, deprecated the
trip by ASCAP reps as being not only
premature but probably doing more
harm than good. Claimed that legis-
lation probably was run -of- the -mill
stuff, whereby politicians enter mea-
sures into the legislative houses to
satisfy certain constituents without
much hope that bills will ever be
finally passed. In the Indiana action,
BMI'ers felt that pressuring by New
York lawyers without sufficient as-
surance of the seriousness of the situ-
ation, !night actually prove a boom-
erang with loyal Hoosiers apt to re-
sent alleged interference and possibly
repress efforts to pass a bill that
otherwise might never have been
more than a newspaper item.
Practice of legislators to intro
so- called "constituent- satisfying" bills
was deemed by BMI'ers as probably
typified with the new Connecticut
bill. It was pointed out that the same
senator who introed the 10 per cent
tax bill also had presented a measure
Industrial

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-New facet
in collection org moves against users
of industrial music was revealed this
week with the report that the ASCAP
licensing reps had approached a large
Midwest industrial company which
plays recorded music (not wired mu-
sic which is licensed at the source)
and asked for contract agreements.
ASCAP's move into the industrial
field, which started more than six
months ago with at- the -source li-

proffered method of collection from
a disk -playing plant calls for a fee of
2 cents per employee per month. In

Decca's Original-Cast Domain A RECORD TRIUM PN!
Invaded by Columbia; Latter
On `Finian,' `Street,' `Brig'?
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.- Emergence of Columbia diskery as new power
in original -cast Broadway show albums- territory formerly presided over
by Decca exclusively -was seen with indications that Columbia not only
will come up with o-c Finian's Rainbow package but will follow up with
two other legiters, Street Scene and the new musical yet to hit Broadway
boards, Bri3adoon. Columbia pact with Finian show has been hinted by both
diskery execs and show producer Lee Sabinson. Latter isn't talking about
money arrangements but in light of Decca deal falling thru last week because
of producer's demand for heavy
royalty cut it is assumed that ar-
rangement with Columbia will at
least equal Decca offer which stood
at reported per album over
5 -cent
first 50,000 sold. Columbia in re-
portedly snapping up Finian propo-
sition was understood to have done
so only on stipulation that original
cast participate. Point involves the
much -discussed question of how long
Ella Logan will stay with the show,
whether she has special deal with
Apollo Records, where her agent
Paul Small holds an interest or
whether she will leave show in June
as reported in some quarters.
Logan in -or-out situation, insiders
say, won't affect Columbia deal too
drastically with diskery figured to
prefer Logan in star wax role but
willing to take Kitty Kallen (Sho
Sabinson signed last week as under-
study) so long as rest of cast stays
intact. Should Kallen come in for
waxing, however, question of chirp's
Musicraft ties probably would come
up. Indie firm's release of the singer
for the package should be easily
forthcoming since Kallen has cut no
Musicraft wax in some time. Co-
lumbia waxings too, could hardly
hurt billing on a smaller label.

VOCALISTS: Doris Carle and Earle Spencer.
ARRANGERS: Bill Gillett, Morty Corb,

For a 21- year-old youngster with
little more than perseverance under
his belt, Earl Spencer has been get-
ting some pretty good breaks. With
an idea under his hat and a couple
of arrangements under his arm, kid
nine months ago caught the eye of
Ralph Bass, Black & White diskery
chief. Studio band was hired for
waxing of Bolero in Boogie, a Bill
Gillett note -placer penned in Kenton -
colored ink. Diskery poured plenty
of ballyhoo behind Spencer's initial
release, sending out more than a
thousand complimentary platters to
phono ops, dealers, distribs, radio
stations, etc., heralding ork as "the
band find of the year." Type of pro-
motion, unusual for iudie plattery,
netted Spencer plenty of plugs on
local disk jockey shows. Band then
opened at Tommy Dorsey's Casino
Gardens, Ocean Park, getting local
as well as Coast air shots, and later
moving to this dancery when it went
to a two-night -a -week policy.
For a spot that's clamping down
on expenses, this low budget crew
is passable but offers nothing to ex-
cite the musical world. Its chief
fault (and one that's most unfor-
givable) is total lack of individuality
of style. Arrangements for the most
part are patterned strictly after Stan
Kenton, but as any imitation, lack the
originator's imagination and flair for
novel color. In addition, the Spencer
corps is sans the top- drawer instru-
mental qualifications to be found in
Kenton. If this youngster expects to
go anywhere in the band biz, he
better chuck his present copied style
and give out with something that
shows some originality. The way it
now stands, he at best is only a poor
man's Kenton.
At a time when even Kenton is
injecting commercial serum into his
music -making, Spencer's book is
dangerously in want of slow items
and current pop faves. Of what was
heard tonight, best in the book is
still Bolero in Boogie. Originals and
mad -frantic stuff has to have some-
thing more on the ball than a fast
beat and loud playing to click these
days. Instrumentation is brass-
heavy, lacking sufficient weight in
the reed department. Songstress
Doris Carle has a listenable voice
but totally lacks sales savvy. Lass
should realize it takes more than
voicing words and tune to put a song
across. Deadpan mike manner
doesn't help.
Youthful batoner should improve
his stand manner. Wild arm waving
and knocking himself out in an ef-
fort to get the boys to give out is
okay during rehearsals but looks sad
from the dance floor. Customers get
tired watching the kid work so hard.

After seven years' conditioning in COMEDIAN: Frank Fontaine.
the Midwest, Lee Williams' ork, like
such fronters as Lawrence Welk, Bob
Cross and Del Courtney, is finally
getting into the major location brack-
et. Williams, a personable, hand-
some fronter, who always works to
the crowd, seldom turning his back
to watch sidemen, has had this pres-
ent crew together since last June
when he got a service discharge.
Biggest asset of this crew is its
stylized scorings. In these days when
so many commercial crews lack indi-
viduality, the Williams' ork stands
out, for it's using the "stepping tones"
rhythm, similar to Al Kavelin's once -
used cascading chords and also by a
few other name crews years back.
While gimmick isn't new, it's catchy
and after one visit, the terper will
recall this band pleasantly on hearing
it a second time. Band's book is well
rounded, with dance tempos accented
on every number. Williams uses
plenty of novelties, which he wasn't
able to break out here because this
ballroom likes continuous dancing
and no breaks to the bandstand. To
keep rhythm continuous, ork uses
celeste in between numbers.
Vocals are handled by two side-
men, saxist Jay Jaumotte, a curly-
head blond, whose high, sensitive
voice is just right for the sugary
words; and bassist Larry Mosher, a
rotund lad, who doubles between
novelties and Irish ballads. Ork has
fine key lead and solo men, such as
sweetramist Phil Bowers, lead alto
Ralph Reznicek and lead trumpet Al
Hudson, the last named doing lots
of pantomime comedy. Proof of the
ork's standing in the territory is its
1947 booking slate, which has only
seven open dates until September 1.

GREAT Over RECORD POSSIBILITIES

RECORD Re- In the opinion of The Billboard music staff, records listed below are most likely
to achieve popularity as determined by entry into best selling, most played or most
heard features of the Chart.

A calypso- styled ditty based on a native song from the island of Guam. it makes

GREAT itself as well as from the rhythm harmonies expended by the Andrews Sisters.
The Andrews giving it just the right lyrical inflection, it's a cute and catchy
novelty about the Guam gals calling for those G.I. guys to come back-and the
RECORD interest, of course, is hardly military. Backside is a boogie pattern etched for the
familiar "Lullaby of Broadway."

STAR SONG OF SONGS Perry Como with Lloyd Shaffer Ork..

RED Victor 20.2142

This is Perry Como at his best. Taking a concert fave of this type, making It
digestible for pop fans, and yet not offending Moya's classic, Is no mean trick, but
that's what Como does. He sings it straight and simple and climaxes the spin
with a display of vocal strength and quality which is a rare gift in modern
NATIONAL crooners. Altho "Song of Songs" normally is far from choice juke material, the
Como rendition should draw many nickels. Disk is a cinch to be a top counter
seller. Flip, the Irving Berlin standard "Easter Parade," should help push counter

9026 McI(ENZIE' sales along at a fast clip, especially since the Easter holiday Is only a short way
off. The Como version of "Parade" is not up to "Song of Songs" standard. but
It is palatable nevertheless.

loudly in broken English, "She is so
wonderful." Miss Boyer is all that If ever entertainers worked them-
and much more. She is a beautiful selves into a sweat to put over a
woman with exquisite artistry and show, it was in the opening perform-
showmanship, the glamor of the the- ance at this room. Despite their
ater personified. efforts, however, the bill laid an egg.
All this was very much in evidence Only half of the four acts were even
on opening night as Miss Boyer
ended a 10-year absence from the
U. S., with the distinction of being
the only performer (except for ac-
companists) on the bill, the first time
in Uptown's history. In 1936 the
French chanteuse appeared at the
Rainbow Room and the Versailles.
Her return via Josephson's boite is
on a class scale, with the usual three
shows cut to two and no service being
permitted during her performance,
which lasts about 45 minutes.
Miss Boyer's dramatic entrance
was well calculated to heighten the
excitement, suspense and anticipa-
tion of the blue bloods, many of
them from the French Colony, who
were there to greet her. The lights
blacked out, a violin sang the strains
of Parles Moi D'Amour, her trade
mark, and then she appeared in a
simple blue velvet gown, carelessly
holding a corsage of orchids which
she quickly discarded. The audience
gave her an ovation.
She was nervous, but it was thrill-
ing to see her maneuver herself back
to confidence with the skill of a top
showwoman in the first number,
Chez Moi. From then on she soared
higher in the esteem of the crowd
with each successive number, vary-
ing her performance with Un Air
d'Accordeon and Mon Coeur est un
Violon, the hits with which she is
instantly identified, Hands Across
the Table and Parlez Moi d'Amour,
the dramatic Estampe Moroccaine
and La Dame Du Bar, the charming
Si Petite, Le Petit Vin Blanc and the
closer Au Revoir.
Vin Blanc was a community sing
affair and it was amusing and warm-
ing to see her make the white tie set
sing tra- la- la-la -la, but they did it
and enjoyed it. In this number
she strolled around the floor, with a
mike disguised by the orchid corsage,
and bantered the customers in
French. Her singing was capably
backed by the six-piece combo (cello,
bass, guitar, accordion, piano and
violin), of which only the violinist
was imported.
Miss Boyer's charm even veils the
fact that she no longer is slim and
the styling of her gown seemed to
emphasize it. However, her most
thrilling quality is her voice, which
is at various times soft and caressing,
breathless, dominant and husky. It
is kaleidoscopic in its change to suit
the song she is singing.
It can all be summed up simply in
one sentence-her return was a tri-
umph. George Berkowitz.

NIGHT CLUB REVIEWS
Glass Hat, Belmont Plaza
Hotel, New York
(Thursday, February 13)
passable.
Right from the beginning the show
evidenced a lack of sparkle and
smart entertainment generally found
in Glass Hat revues: Opening act,
Bonnie and Ray, hoofers, looked nice
but showed, little imagination in
their three numbers. The whole rou-
tine was just a series of taps without
much flash and without the charm it
could have. The youngsters were
dressed well in chartreuse and black
contrasts, but need more than run -of-
the -mill foot routines. Also they
overdo the winking almost to the
point of nausea.
Wendy Bishop, blond thrush, was
loused up by the ork right at the
start -they started playing the wrong
number -and she probably never re-
covered her equilibrium. In addition,
she sang old tunes, such as Night and
Day, Sunny Side of the Street, and
Coax Me a Little Bit, for which she
could do little and vice versa. Her
Night and Day was slightly nasal. To
do herself justice, Miss Bishop should
pick more suitable songs -she is
sexy looking and probably could do
torrid numbers well. She could im-
prove her mike technique, too.
Intro of Paul Sydel and Susie, dog
act, was confusing in that there
were three dogs brought on, one
after the other, the middle one being
Susie. Only when the ork started
playing If You Knew Susie when
the second pooch came on did the
customer realize the first one wasn't
Susie. First dog did some unusual
balancing stunts and then Susie
came on for the tough ones. A small
hound brought on last for laughs
wasn't funny and killed the closer.
Nevertheless, the act got a fair hand.
Sydell could rearrange the order of
appearance, spotting the small dog
in the middle of the act with a
funnier routine, and Susie last to
build up to a better finish. Also an
explanation, preferably humorous,
could eliminate the confusion about
the dogs and some patter at the start
of the act between stunts would hypo
the turn and prevent monotony.
It was painful to watch Bernie
West, a likable guy with a flexible
pan, work. West had laryngitis, hip
timing was off, he was playing to an
empty table right in front of him
and there was a graveyard stillness
in response to his lines. When his
first few gags thudded to dead si-
lence, he permitted himself to be
stampeded and began pushing the
lines out without the showmanlike
delivery necessary in a comic. He
was so discouraged after a while that
altho he had already cued the band
for a song he decided to call it off.
Under more favorable circumstances,
West probably can get some laughs
with his material-which is no worse
than getting plenty of yocks for other
comics -but it was a tough road
opening night.
Eddie Stone's ork (11) didn't help
the situation either. The band plays
great for dancing with a smooth
society style, but cutting a show
takes skill. The acts and music
couldn't get together and occasionally
the boys hit a clinker.

College Inn, Hotel Sherman,
Chicago
(Friday, February 14)
Talent Policy: Dancing and floorshows at
9:90 and 11 :30. Manager, Joe Spieler; pro-
duction, Marty Bloom; Howard Mayer, pub-
licity. Prices: $1.50 and $2.50 minimums.
Marty Bloom again hypos biz here
by bringing in pertinent amusement
names, following Jan August's pian-
istics, with the current headliner,
Dusty Fletcher, who saw the door to
success opened by Richard after 20
years in showbiz without recognition.
The Negro comic is using basically
the same act he did for years, except
that now instead of lying on the
floor in front of the mike he spends
his time sitting at a small tavern
table, and he's added a stooge to
straight for him. Lines are about 90
per cent the same, except that he's
blue -penciled a lot of the shadier
gags. He got yocks consistently and
walked off to a huge mitt. Despite the
fact that he's currently hot because
of inspiring the door -opener opus, he
should stay in the big time as he's a
solid seller.
Raymond Scott, band headliner,
has worked out a different floorshow
since last seen here two months ago.
He's returned to stressing more of
the well -known Scott classics, such
as Power House, 18th Century Draw-
ing Room and Wooden Indians, tunes
which are still widely associated with
him. Result is that his specials got
bigger hands than commercial scor-
ings he used in his theater stand here.
Dorothy Collins, petite chirp who
looks like the college freshie in a
soap ad, has the song style that
matches her chic appearance. She
was called back twice, a rare thing
in this room.
A waltz medley to pace their danc-
ing stints, with a beat on bounce dit-
ties is fine, but Scott very often kicks
off the ballads either too fast or too
slow. Johnny Sippel.
Helsing's Vodvil Lounge,
Chicago
(Friday, February 14)
Talent Policy: Intermission pianist and
floorshows at 9:45, 11:45 and 1:30. Manager,
Frank Helsing; publicity, Betty Rogers. Prices:
Drinks from 50 cents.
Show is Class A from the stand-
point of talent but short on produc-
tion and the necessary rehearsals.
However, clever ad libbing from most
of the principals covered it up. Sid
Fisher and his combo open the show
with a clarinet solo, Hora Staccato,
by Junior Nordeen. Lad shows
promise.
Toni Rami, chirp, breaking into
night clubs from radio, has an in-
gratiating manner with the customers
but needs to work a little more on
stage savvy. Her pipés and figure
are first class, but little mannerisms
such as keeping her left arm cocked
apart from her body will have to be
overcome. However, her naivety
and freshness charmed the table sit-
ters into a palm -whacking session.
The Three Imaginators do a clever
panto of various radio and movie
personalities, using records. Lip
movements, aided by costumes and
unique burlesque, definitely scored
these three lads with the opening
night crowd. Among those pantoed
were Tex Beneke, the Ink Spots,
Mary Martin, Bing Crosby and the
Andrews Sisters.
Larry Ross, handling emsee chores
plus his own act, got the crowd with
him after a difficult break -in period.
Lad is clever but some of his busi-
ness is a little too blue for this
bistro. He should stick to panto, his
specialty, instead of trying to dig too
far down for his laughs. His panto
of a squire riding a streetcar wowed
'em as usual. Herb Bailey.

Spot has dished out more moola
for some of its previous offerings but
few have been more enthusiastically
received than the current Valentine
Revue.
Lindsay Lovely Ladies (8), back
in after several months' absence, dis-
play wide versatility in a trio of
offerings, first of which is a sultry
strut to Harlem Moon, with Captain
Peggy Ray doing a top canarying
job to get proceedings under way to
a fast pitch. Midway, the shapely,.
well -garbed gals offer a See America
First turn, clicking with toe taps and
acro stunts and go native in the finale
with a flashy South Sea number,
with Goldie Gay sparkling in an
Hawaiian hula.
Tom and Jerry, handsome youths,
had payees on the edge of their chairs
with their neck -risking double hori-
zontal bar work. Grabbed belly
chuckles with their comedy gym-
nastics. Lads work with enthusiasm
and ring the rafters with a brilliant
blindfold twisting somersault finish.
Packed house was with Rochelle
and Beebe, boy and gal, all the way,
with their screwball ballroomistics.
Loose-jointed gal hits pay dirt with
her zany acro antics, with the male
member providing excellent muscular
foil. Their phony sophisticated terp-
ing netted a beg -off hand.
Personable George Gobel, youth-
ful comic -emsee, had 'em in stitches
from the opening gong, with his sharp
army AWOL routine as einsee break -
in fodder, until his beg-off in his
own slot. Homespun chatter and
easy-fingered guitar picking jells
handsomely. Also gives with ace
yodeling of We Sipped Cider Thru a
Straw, solid tenoring of Ireland, and
a side -splitting Cowboy Paint, in
which he deftly utilizes band's side-
men to put across his hep material:
His work elicited numerous. recalls.
Jimmy Wilbur's ork (10), new at
this outing, rates cheers for its ace
showcutting and danceable book.
Teddy Raymore Trio, also new, ca-
pably handled the lulls, altho ham-
pered by a spotty mike. Larry Vin-

Larry Potter's Supper Club,
Los Angeles
(Wednesday, February 12)
Talent Policy: Dancing and floorshows at
9:15 and midnight. Owner- manager, Larry
Potter. Maitre d'hotel, Leo Gray. Prices:
No cover or minimum.
Billed as the "Naughty Nightin-
gale," Reta Ray voices material that's
beyond the boundaries of double en-
tendre and closer to the smutty side
of the laugh fence. Blue stuff can
be clever but when a comic must
resort to dirt instead of showmanship
to ' pull laughs, there isn't much
there. Accompanying herself on the
ivories, lass shouts it loud and thin,
but crowd goes for it, winning plenty
of chuckles and palming for more
of the same.
Best on the bill are the Philhar-
monicas, a lively mouth-organ three-
some that couples smooth music -
making with a fine sense of sales
savvy. Lads are particularly good in
Horra Staccato and Holiday for
Strings. A hard -working unit, lads
click with the payees and after a
number of encores, have to beg off.
Nick Cochrane adequately emsees
and fronts a four -piece combo for
the dance music. A clever lad, his
zany patter adds spark to the show.

The dance team of Carlos and
Linda is the best of its kind to show
here in a long time. The pair of
youngsters open with a rib -tickling
rumba and their unique Begin the

Tito Coral is a pleasant-voiced

Having found that the spot couldn't
do biz without a floorshow, ops set-
tled their squabble with AGVA, put
up a cash bond and reinstituted en-
tertainment policy. Result is a pleas-
ing show and brisk biz. Spot cut
out the late show in favor of one
turn a night.
Carrying the weight of show is
comic Joey Cappo, long a fixture
around smaller Hollywood clubs.
Gagster's material is of the some-
thing old-something new variety,
with a fast, clipped delivery that
leaves rifigsiders holding on for dear
life. With informality the keynote,
Cappo plays down the customers,
with the usual bound of gags and
payee insults.
Piece de resistance, and one of the
best of its type, is Cappo's 15 -min-
ute pantomime of Charlie Chaplin
in a bit from the old -time movie,
Gold Rush. Cappo captures Chaplin's
appearance, facial gestures, and inti-
mate pieces of biz with amazing
accurracy. It's a difficult chore to
attempt on a nitery floor, but Cappo
winds up with customers clamoring
for more.
Bill includes acro ballet hoofer
Ruth Hazen, and baritone Tony Far-
rell, both of whom do well in their
spots, wrapping up things in a neat,
compact package. Chick Floyd's ork
cuts the show and dishes out tunes
for terpsing. Alan Fischler.

Actors'
Equity has exempted Russell Lewis
and Howard Young from paying sal-
aries of thesps in their show, The
Story of Mary Surratt, for two post-
poned performances last Friday night

Play, skedded to open Friday,
couldn't preem until Saturday be-
cause the baggage cars were frozen in
Chicago. Equity recognized the de-
lay as an "act a God."

was the largest draw in several
years for any dramatic production
here, he said. Zero temperatures

pany manager, Edgar Runkle. Press repre-

Parlor Story is a play with distinct
possibilities in spite of its tendency
toward prolonged situations and ex-
cessive over -all length, not unusual
on an opening night. However, Au-
thor William McCleery's second play
-he also wrote Hope for the Best
definitely lives up to its advance
- The Driftwood Players are frankly
press notices as a comedy of sparkle
and substance.
McCleery, an ex- newspaperman,
has injected timely angles into his
plot. Among these are the under-
paid teaching profession, modern
youth problems, marriage and di-
vorce and the tendency of reading
communistic leanings into harmless
utterances. Underlying the momen-
tary issues the author reveals a clear
understanding of human reactions
and political machinations
brought out in clever lines that
-
both
evoked laughs thruout in the right
places.
Walter Abel is perfectly cast and
gives an excellent performance as
the ex- newspaperman who strives to
have himself named president of the
university. Tho he maintains a high
moral plane in seeking the post, he
becomes involved by his wife's well -
intentioned politicking in his behalf,
and by his championing a favored
journalism student.
The wife who matches wits with
the politicians is expertly played by
Edith Atwater, who does a bang -up
job.
As the young student whose edi-
torial on marriage was seized upon
by the politicos as a weapon against
the professor, Richard Noyes gives
sincere and realistic interpretation
of the role. He delivers most con-
vincingly the viewpoint of the child
of divorced parents.
The attractive daughters are
charmingly delineated by two Con-
over models, Carol Wheeler as Chris-
tine and Joan Vohs as Katy.
Royal Beal scores with a convinc-
ing and restrained portrayal of Pub-
lisher Mel Granite, "the villain," who
personifies yellow journalism and
trickery. Dennis King Jr. makes his
minor role of a State cop an out-
standing one, and Paul Huber, as
Gov. Sam Bright, who is willing to
play both ends against the middle in
his re-election campaign, is properly
pompous.
Dorothy Eaton, as the governor's
wife, and Frank Wilcox as the other
State trooper, are adequate in lesser
roles.
Director Bretaigne Windust-as the
program notes point out-is a skilled
hand at family comedy, and his ex-
pert guidance is evident thruout.
But tip-top performances by Walter
Abel and Miss Atwater, who make
the most of their lines and situations,
are chiefly responsible for providing
an enjoyable and refreshing eve-
ning's entertainment. This play is
meaty but not stuffy.
Story takes place in the "parlor"
of the college professor, and the ac-
tion is confined to one Friday evening
in October. Raymond Sovey has de-
signed an appropriate setting.

Get 65G Each for
Capital Outlay
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Feb. 15.-
Assembly Bill 94 introduced by As-
semblymen Beck (San Fernando) and
George Clarke (Merced County) was
passed by both houses of the Cali-
fornia Legislature January 27 as an
urgency measure and sent to Gov-
ernor Earl Warren for signing.
By its term the bill gives the
Merced County Fair at Los Banos,
the Madera County Fair at Chow-
chilla, the San Luis Obispo County
Fair, and the 51st District Fair at
San Fernando in Los Angeles County
the respective sums of $65,000 each
for capital outlay at their grounds.
This is the same amount received
by other fairs thruout the State and
brings the codes up to date to allow
all the existing county and district
fairs to share alike in construction
balances that may accrue to the fairs
under the California Fairs and Ex-
positions fund.
Aside from Beck and Clarke, Art
Craner did most of the leg work at
the State Capitol to hurry the bill
thru the two houses in time for use
during the 1947 season.

R-B PREP WORK ON SCHEDULE
Lumber Still
Big Problem
Haley's program calls for
new quarters, wagons with
all parts interchangeable
By a Staff Correspondent
SARASOTA, Fla., Feb. 15. -Work
of preparing the Ringling Bros. and
Barnum & Bailey Circus for its an-
nual tour is progressing according to
schedule in all departments, and an
over -all building program to modern-
ize the winter quarters has been
started, according to James A. Haley,
president, who took The Billboard's
Outdoor Editor on a personally con-
ducted tour of the grounds here Tues-
day (11).
Every department apparently has
a full complement of workingmen,
but a shortage of 'suitable lumber is
necessitating some improvisation with
inferior materials in some branches.
Some of the lumber going into wagon
repairs ordinarily would be used for
firewood.
New wagons, however, are being
constructed entirely of steel, with the
exception of the wheels and the
pneumatic tires. ' Those now under
construction have been designed to
last one or two lifetimes, and every-
thing possible is being made inter-
changeable, which will mean a huge
saving to the circus in years to come.
Dressing Up New Train
The train crew was busy working
on the 14 new all- steel, air condi-
tioned hospital cars recently pur-
chased from the army. Four or five
of these will be rebuilt into state-
room cars, and plans are now not
definite for the others. These cars
already are equipped with three -
high, 30-inch berths, and if these are
not changed it will be a great break
for the workingmen, as it will mean
the end of doubling up in berths.
One of these cars would be ideal
for the advance, as the kitchen would
make an excellent paste room, and
the doctor's office could readily be
converted for the use of the car man-
ager. However, this apparently is
not the plan at present as the No. 1
bill car is in the shop, and is about
ready for the road.
Haley has started a definite re-
building program to modernize the
quarters, with the plan in mind to
erect at least one building each year.
A new office building is now 114 use,
and a new centrally -located grab
joint is in operation. This ends the
winter, quarters building for this
year, and is a step in the right di-
recton.
F. Beverly Kelly, general press
representative, assisted by Frank
Morrissey, has completed the press
book as far as is possible until John
Ringling North, vice -president, re-
turns from Europe with his line -up
of new acts.
Other than show -owned acts, Ro-
land Tiebor's seals is the only act re-
contracted for the 1947 tour, it being
the aim of the management to take
out as entirely a new show as pos-
sible. North has reported many of his
deals to Pat Valdo, personnel director,
but there will be no official release
on these until after North's return
and the work of arranging the pro-
gram is well 'under way.
Valdo reported that all sketches for

Talbot, acting postmaster here, has
been appointed treasurer of the In-

succeeds Fred S. McCarger, Salinas,
Calif., who resigned as secretary -
treasurer after holding office since
1929.
With McCarger's resignation, the
office was divided into two branches,
with E. N. Boylen, of Pendleton, Ore.,
as temporary secretary. Boylen also
is rodeo commissioner and Talbot a
vice -president of IRA.
Treasurer's office will be main-
tained here. Office work will be
handled by State fair personnel. As
treasurer, Talbot will administer the
IRA point -award system and keep
records of competition in IRA -ap-
proved rodeos. One point is given
for each dollar of prize money won
in approved rodeos.
Talbot announced the award sys-
tem for 1947 with $5,000 for win-

NEW YORK, Feb. 15. - Czeslaw
Mroczkowski, European horse train-
er, arrived at LaGuardia Airport
here Saturday (8) en route from
London to the Sarasota, Fla., winter
quarters of the Ringling circus where
he will take over as equestrian direc-
tor.
Mroczkowski is the first performer
signed by John Ringling North, cir-
cus vice- president, during Ms just-
concluded European scouting trip, to
arrive in this country. Big Show was
interested as early as 1939 in bring-
ing Mroczkowski to this country until
it was found he was already con-
tracted with England's Bertram Mills
Circus.
Mroczkowski, a member of the
Polish army stationed in England
during the war, was last associated
with the late Reginald Goddard,
well -known English showman, at
Chessington Zoo.
Vander Barbette, who was not re-
tained during Robert Ringling's term
as circus president, will return to the
Big Show, and once again have

U. S. Continues as Occupant
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 15.-Definite
decision not to hold a Los Angeles
County Fair this year was reached
by the board of directors after the
annual membership meeting Thurs-
day (6).
C. B. (Jack) Afflerbaugh, presi-
dent-manager, submitted his report
on the future of the fair following re-
election of officers and directors for
another year.
Said Afflerbaugh: "In my opinion
we are faced with too many adverse
conditions at this time to make a
definite decision to hold the fair this
year. The United States Engineers
have no date set fat return of the
property to the fair association. They
have had a number of men re- check-
ing the restoration figures before the
claim is approved in Washington."
He referred to the settlement to be
made by the government.
May Be Released March 15
He stated the fair may be in pos-
session of the property about March
15, but there would not be sufficient
time to restore the buildings and
grounds to the same condition they
were when the army took possession
in 1941.
Pointing out that the Los Angeles
County Fair has gained a national
reputation as "the most beautiful fair
in America," Afflerbaugh said this
motto should be the first thought in
operation of the exposition.
With the present shortage of ma-
terials and labor it would be impos-
sible at this late date to reconstruct
the large exhibition building, de-
stroyed by fire, by September, the
usual date of the event.
Would Require Tents
"Under this condition," he said, "it
would necessitate using one large
and two smaller tents for the ma-
chinery, junior fair and poultry de-
partments. This would involve an
expenditure of over $75,000 to snake
the change for this year's fair, and
then rearrange the buildings for the
1948 fair."
It was stated one of the most seri-
ous problems the fair faces is accom-

Zoo Has New Baby
Bears, But Number
Is Still a Question

CHICAGO, Feb. 15. Brookfield
Zoo here has some new black baby '
bears but zoo officials don't know
how many and chances are they
won't know until April 1, when the
mama bears get ready to "unveil"
them to the public.
Only by listening to the noises
emerging from the dens can Zoo Di-
rector Robert Bean guess at the num-
ber of occupants. There are two
mothers, that he knows. Each, he
believes, has two baby bears in her
den. He said he can hear the dif-
ference in voices.
The baby bears were born shortly
after January 1, Bean said. For two
weeks the mothers didn't leave their
sides, not even coming out of the
dens for food and water. He be-
lieves by April 1 the mama bears
will let their offspring leave the den.

Cincy Zoo May Take
3d Step in Showbiz
Puddle; Profit 35G
CINCINNATI, Feb. 15.-A proposal
by Gerritt J. Fredriks, re- elected sec-
retary of the Cincinnati Zoological
Society, that a circus be staged on
the zoo grounds during the period be-
tween close of the summer opera
season and start of the annual food
show was taken under advisement by
directors who re-elected James A.
Reilly to his 15th consecutive term
as society president at the annual
meeting Wednesday (12) in the Alms
Hotel.
It was reported that the zoo showed
a profit of $35,411.52 in 1946 as com-
pared with a loss of $1,339.37 in 1945.
Attendance, too, zoomed, rising to
723,086 last year as against 494,456
the previous year. Reilly pointed out
that while Cincinnati is the only
large city in the country to depend
entirely on operating revenue for its
existence, it was also the only city
last year to draw more patrons than
its population.
Principal speaker at the meeting
was George P. Vierheller, general
manager of the St. Louis Zoo, who
'
gave a review, illustrated with mov-
ing pictures, of recent improvements
at that institution.
It was announced that A. E. (Tony)
Scheffer would again be in charge of
the 1947 food show.
Other officers re-elected were Ir-
win M. Krohn and L. P. Lewin, vice -
presidents; E. W. Townsley, treas-
urer, and Bolton S. Armstrong, Eric
L. Schulte, Dr. G. A. Hinnen, W. O.

tees. New trustees are Karl H. Mas-

wind which drove customers home-
ward immediately after completion
of the colorful parade late in the
afternoon.
Thursday was Shrine Day and a
huge parade was kayoed by a heavy
all -day rain. The Professor Quiz
program set as night grandstand at-
traction was staged in the Electrical
Building. This took a slice of the
profits, but not enough to cause more
than a slight bruise on the bank roll.
Gasparilla Day was a trifle expen-
sive, too, as it cost th! association
$10,000 to bring the parade into the
grounds and the management laid
out another $2,000 for rain insurance,
just in case. It didn't rain, and the
folks were there to pay the outside
gate and grandstand freights, but
the midway and other assorted rev-
enue- gathering agencies suffered.
Publicity Is Tops
Publicity for the annual has been
unusually strong. The two Tampa
dailies, The Times and The Tribune,
have been more than generous with
space, both using huge art layouts
daily as well as numerous individual
stories on the various exhibits and
attractions. Publicity has been han-
dled by Russell Kay and the veteran
Jimmie Malone, and their efforts
have been far-reaching. Radio has
been strong, with remotes regularly
from the grounds as well as studio
interviews, shots on news casts and
breaks on locally sponsored pro-
grams.
Despite the continuous inclemency
of the weather, Jimmy Owens and his

MONEY SPOTS: Preparations for this

for booth space. Members of the tripes
and keister fraternity who made the event
last year wound up with plenty of dough
in the poke. Current planning on the part
of the committees in charge should make

TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 15.-Ruling
from the Kansas State Commission
of Revenue and Taxation places the
operators of all types of coin ma-
chines in the retailer classification,
subject to the State's 2 per cent sales
tax. Rule No. 24, issued by the com-
mission, covers vending and all other
types of coin machines. Complete
text of the ruling follows:
The owners or operators of vend-
ing machines or any other coin -op-
erated machines are deemed to be
retailers of the articles of tangible
personal property which are dis-
pensed by the machines, or operators
of an amusement device. When the
machines are operated by the own-
ers thereof, the gross receipts from
the operations of the machines must
be reported as the amount subject
to the tax. No deductions may be
taken for commissions or rentals paid
to persons upon whose premises the
machines are located. Adequate and
complete records must be kept by
the owners, showing the gross re-
ceipts from each machine during the
monthly period.
Any owners operating machines at
various locations will be permitted
to make a single application for cer-
tificate of registration, attaching
thereto a supplemental statement
showing the location of all machines
owned by him, and their serial num-
bers, if any. The director of reve-
nue will issue a separate label to
the owner to be affixed to each ma-
chine showing the owner's registra-
tion certificate number. If any such
machine is not owned by the opera-
tor thereof, the operator is liable for
the tax on the gross receipts, no de-
duction being allowed for commis-
sions or rentals paid to the owner.
If the machine is located at the
operator's place of business, which
business is conducted under a cer-
tificate of registration, no separate
application is required for the ma-
chine. The gross receipts from the
machine shall be reported with the
total gross receipts of that place of
business.
Declare New Britain
Coin Hike Will Fail
NEW BRITAIN, Conn., Feb. 15.-
Legal circles here are examining a
proposal to up the fees on amuse-
ment games and juke boxes. The city
now has approximately 80 juke boxes
and 375 amusement games, including
pinballs. Common Council here has
reportedly been considering increas-
ing the license fees on amusement
games from $25 annually to $100, and
the fee on juke boxes from $10 to $50.
Opinion of most legal observers
here is that the proposal is doomed
to fail, since the measure is designed
to derive profit. Legal opinion here
points out that the purpose of levy-
ing license fees is to collect funds for
the purpose of control thru proper
regulations and supervision, and that
it is not legal to collect revenue for
profit under the guise of license fees.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Leveling-
off and signs of early return to com-
petitive selling in the candy bar in-
dustry are reflected in operator pro-
grams begun this week in the New
York -Newark area, largest vending
machine stronghold in the nation.
During the past week many dime
bar vender operators have switched
back to 5 -cent operations. Others,
who have been dickering for change -
makers and 1 -cent chutes that could
be attached to present machines for
6- and 7 -cent prices, have broken off
negotiations, according to two of the
larger manufacturers' representa-
tives.
Most Bars 72 Cents
Now that the candy bar picture
is more or less set at the 68 to 75-
cent level (24 -count boxes), with the
majority of bars falling into the 72-
cent class, reports from Washington
intimate that sugar will be released
in large enough quantities for or-
ganization of competitive selling be-
fore the end of the year. Manufac-
turers feel that campaigns must be-
gin this year if they expect to hold
demand at present levels next year.
Wholesalers, as well as manufac-
turers, are reported by operators to
be asking for business for the first
time since the beginning of the war.
Pre -war vending machine packs
(100 -count boxes) are said to be on
the schedule of several large bar
manufacturers for 1947.
Signs of the Times
Two months ago a sign on the win-
dow of a downtown New York to-
bacco store "5 -cent candy bars -5
cents" created a line a block long.
On February 11 several Times
Square drugstores had signs on their
counters "nickel candy now 5 cents"
but the result was only a slight in-
crease of business -and no lines.
Some of the smaller stores in town
that have been selling candy bars
at 7 and 10 cents are now selling at
6 cents. Wagon sellers who have
been getting a dime for chocolate
bars for the past three months in the
Times Square area, now are selling
at two for 15 cents, with at least one
selling at two for 13 cents.
Actual increase in profits was re-
ported by at least one vending ma-
chine operator in the city during the
lean months. He states that during
all the shortages his firm managed
to keep his machines filled 98 per
cent of the time -even tho it was
necessary to buy at almost the nickel
selling price.
Volume Cave Profit
"Tremendous volume offset the
slim margin," the op reports, "and
I managed to get and keep spots that
in normal times I wouldn't have had
a chance of securing. Now that the
situation has leveled off I will be
able to come out of it one of the
largest operators in the area."

The Billboard
WINTER HAVEN, Fla., Feb. 15.-
Florida Citrus Exchange, which holds
its Florida Citrus Exposition here
February 17 -22, wilt get a look at
a new citrus -juice vending machine
if the organization's plans material-
ize. Details of the new vender, which
is being handled by Tracy Acosta,
were not available prior to the open-
ing of the exposition.
C. C. Commander, general man-
ager of the Citrus Exchange, has
long been an advocate of vending
machines which he claims will help
the citrus growers gain an entirely
new kind of sale.
What little advance information
was available on the vender indicated
that it will deliver six ounces of
blended juice into a paper cup.
Blended juice will be served thru
the machine at the exposition, ac-
cording to advance reports, because
most people are not familiar with it
and because Florida's citrus competi-
tors produce little combination juice.
The Billboard first noted the Flori-
da growers' attention to vending last
spring when Commander told the
growers of the vast potential sales
in the casual buying classification. In
a recent statement, Commander said
that the exchange was ready to put
$100,000 into a proposed fund for the
development of drink box outlets.
Thus far, however, the exchange has
Transit Sales Places New
Type Wrigley Gum Venders
CHICAGO, Feb. 15. -Tests have
been under way recently on three
models of a new type vender for dis-
pensing chewing gum. The machines
have been placed in the subway sys-
tem in the downtown district which
places them among the machines op-
erated by the Transit Sales Service
Company. The firm has exclusive
vender operating arrangements for
Chicago's elevated and subway sys-
tem and some of the suburban lines.
The new venders were reportedly
developed in the laboratories of the
William Wrigley Jr. Company, chew-
ing gum manufacturer, and all three
of the models dispense Wrigley stick
gum. Trade rumors say the machines
will be placed on the market by a
subsidiary of the Wrigley firm, with
headquarters in the East. Some
rumors have been current that an un-
usual system of replacements would
be offered to operators, once the ma-
chines are on the market, so that
operators could easily replace old
with new machines every four years,
at the longest.
Automatic Vender Attracts
In a subway station where the
machines were observed, a fully auto-
matic type of the vender seemed to
planning no change from the nickel
selling line.
Only permanent result of the
nickel bar shortage that will be noted
in venders for some time is the addi-
tion of "standard" dime bars to some
columns in the machines. Ten -cent

the war -but not in volume planned

Alabama Juke Ops' Assoc.
Closes Membership Drive
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Feb. 15.-
Alabama Music Operators' Associa-
tion, formed last September, an-
nounced that as of today its concerted
membership campaign has ended. In
discussing the association's member-
ship, its business manager, retired
Army Colonel R. E. L. Choate, said
that 50 of the approximately 100 op-
erators here are members, he stated,
AMOA members operate about 70 per
cent of all the music machines in Ala-
bama and are represented in each of
the 65 counties.
Choate, in further discussion of
AMOA, said that the association is
similar to associations set up in about
six other States. "Plans are under-
way," he said, "to set up other like
trade organizations in all States of
the Union, with Mississippi about
ready to start one."
Build Industry Standard
Prime purpose of AMOA, Choate
said, is to promote good will between
operators and between operators and
the public and build up the standard
of the music machine business by
putting it on a higher plane. Associ-
ation's slogan, "Good Music in Pleas-
ant Places," bears out this commend-
able desire. To further illustrate the
integrity and similarity of this busi-
ness to other American businesses,
Choate pointed out that music oper-
ators from all walks of life consti-
tute the association's membership;
among them housewives, lawyers,
auto dealers, doctors and many others
from respected professions a n d
trades.
Another aim of the association,
Choate elaborated, was to give ad-
vice, especially to veterans, about
the problems of the industry and
what chance they had of making a
success in it. Choate also has given
much time to discussions with op-
erators, both members and non -mem-
bers, about payment of sales tax and
business licenses and also has helped
in reducing friction existing between
law- enforcement authorities and op-
erators.
Hold Nickel Price
Regarding dime play, Choate stat-
ed, the association is not sponsoring
a plan to put machines on the in-
creased play price. AMOA feels that
the public is entitled to nickel play
and that this price will stay as long
as operators can keep in the black.
Officers of the association are
Claude Hall, Jasper, president; F. E.

Walker Resigns
One Aireon Job
For Board Post
KANSAS CITY, Kan., Feb. 15.-
Randolph C. Walker announced his
resignation as president and general
manager of the Aireon Manufactur-
ing Corporation February 12, but
he will retain the title of chairman of
the board.
Officials of the juke -box manufac-
turing firm said that a new president
probably would be named by Mon-
day, and Rudy Greenbaum, who
heads the juke box division, said
that the production of the firm's
new models would continue accord-
ing to schedule. Distributors' show-
ings are planned for late April or
May, he said.
Walker had been president of the
company since 1941, when it was
known as Aircraft Accessories, Inc.,
and the main plant was at Burbank,
Calif. Walker moved to Kansas City,
Kan., in December, 1941, and the
Burbank plant has since been sold.
It also was announced this week
that he resigned six months ago as
president of Cinaudagraph Speak-
ers, Inc., subsidiary of Aireon which
operates a plant at Slater, Mo. He
also has remained as chairman of
the board of Cinaudagraph.
Aireon recently was granted a
$2,000,000 loan by the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corporation to pay off
short -term bank loans and provide
the company with working capital.
The RFC loan runs for five years
and $500,000 of the money was said
to have been put up by commercial
banks.

are at variance from time to time. For
many years New York City had an
ideal license system for amusement
games, but before Mayor La Guardia
left office, he started a crusade
against pinball, which resulted in a
generally unfavorable attitude to-
ward this type of amusement game.
Certain types of arcade machines are
permitted to run in the city. The
city and State is considered generally
favorable toward vending machines,
altho the present governor of New
York suggested a vending machine
tax when he took office.
Strict Games Regulation
The Legislature convened January
8 and while this body is not usually
as prolific as some other States in
originating coin machine bills, yet
some bills on coin machines can be
expected every session. Bills ap-
pearing in 1945 related chiefly to
gaming devices. 'The State has on
its books one of the strictest statutes
of any State in the country regulat-
ing the types of amusement games to
be used.
More than 82 per cent of the popu-
lation of New York- State is urban
and the last 'census listed 34,506
manuacturing establishments. The
business census reported 209,366 re-
tail stores in the State of various
kinds. Among these stores were
25,314 grocery stores, 2,381 dairy
stores, 11,432 candy stores, 15,652 gas
stations, 19,584 eating places, 6,620
drugstores and 5,872 cigar stores. The
1946 federal tax report listed 27,194
places having pinball or juke boxes
and 1,047 places having ,gaming .de-
vices.
Juke Estimates Vary
Estimates of the total number of
machines of various types in use in
the New York City area differ wide-
ly. Only recently city authorities
have suggested that there are at
least 30,000 juke boxes operating in
the area while trade leaders say there
are not more than 10,000 in use at
the present time. An unofficial trade
report lists about 8,000 pinball games
in the State, 30,750 juke boxes, 18,000
cigarette venders and 7,000 candy bar
venders in the State.
The State collects a personal in-
come tax, a tax on liquor sales and
also on the location selling liquor
and a 2 -cent tax on cigarettes.
North Carolina
The subject of coin machine taxes
seems likely to be considered at
every session of the State Legisla-
ture, for the State coin machine li-
cense system is a part of the General
Revenue Act introduced at, each ses-
sion. The State is one of the few Ohio
' league hockey! 1200
that has a kind of monoply tax on the
operator of aniusement games. Some
years ago a law was passed which half dozen or more States considered

already several amendments have TWO MORE
been proposed to the General Reve-

be proposed to the coin machine tax
cannot be anticipated as yet upon the

BEAUTY -A combination of soft lights in eye -compelling colors

of blue mirrors and rich walnut grain wood -all add up to a digni-
-
fied instrument that is in key with the finest locations.
ANIMATION -Movement always attracts attention. Beneath the
translucent dome an ever- changing pattern of colors adds eye ap-
peal- brings new animation that the public appreciates.
SALES APPEAL -No squatting or squinting to read song
titles ... brilliant illumination and magnification of title
strips make selection easy ... no buttons to push -"just
push a tune "... single coin chute accepts nickels, dimes,
quarters...every convenience to encourage selection.
REPRODUCTION -A new amplifier plus a large dynamic
speaker assures perfect music reproduction. A second
amplifier permits individual control of remote speakers,
providing `Scientific Sound Distribution."
DEPENDABILITY -Above all, the Symphonola is engi-
neered by one of the oldest and largest manufacturers in
the industry. The mechanism is thoroughly tested by
years of operation under the toughest conditions. Service
is reduced to a minimum.
Auxiliary Remote Amplifier
All add up to a better phonograph -the heart of
"America's finest and most complete music systems."
