Said to be the only marble games at the
New York World's Fair are the battery of
Bally games shown above in the International
Mutoscope Penny Arcade. Play has been ex-
ceedingly heavy since the opening of the
Fair. Each machine is equipped with an
illuminated sign urging the visitor to "Relax
awhile . . . play Bally Games."

+Joe Frank of Automatic Amusement Com-

"Ask me another about love," shouldn't be
taken too seriously, says Pere Smith of Ex-

his noon hour playing the games his company
manufactures.
