PHILADELPHIA (RC) - During the
past month we have visited several of the
leading Arcad es in Philadelphia, Atlantic
City, Willow Grove, Woodside and nearby
seashore resorts. Headliner at most of these
s pots seems to be th e anti -aircraft and rapid
fir e guns with ray guns running a close
second. Novelty tables and bowling ga mes
a re also getting a good play. Marty Mitni ck,
Sam Lerner, Louis Sokolove, Andy Foster,
Bill Rodstein a nd Cy Glickman are a few
of the operators running Arcades this
season.
One of th e neates t record shops in the
East is the one opened in late July by the
Hi gh Point Amusement Company. Every
modern convenience is embodied in th e new
set-up and Maurjce Finkel and staff are to
be congratulated on th eir enterprise.

Harry Rubin has placed a large number
of his Vibro-Foot machines around the city.
Harry claims he is getting a fin e collection

AMI, one of the largest phonograph op-

its ma chines to former employees. The Phil-
