Coin Machine Review (& Pacific ...)

Issue: 1941 August

AT LAST ... AN ADDRESS and
NAME TO REMEMBER • • •
Andrews Nixes
"Juke Box Jenny"
Through years and years of experience in the music business
and actual con1act with all types of remote controls we have
selected PACKARD PLA-MOR because we firmly believe it is th e
hest dollar for dollar buy on the market today.
To you operators who have problems of service and insufficient
profit for your investment, we cordially invi1e you to let us show
you with an unbiased cross section of what we know to be true in
the music business. The latch string is out and we assu;:e you of
no high pressuring.
HOLLYWOOD - Th e Andrews Sisters,
top-flight artists on th e Automatic Phono-
gra ph etwork in America, gave a terlin g
exam ple of th eir loyalty to th e phono graph
opera tors who h el ped pyramid th em to
success wh en th ey turn ed down Universal
Films offer to be starred in "Juk e Box
Jenny."
U niversal offered the girls $50,000 and
s tar billin g but they rej ec ted th e offer stat-
in g- th ey ·didn' t want to do anythin g to hurt
the phonogra ph business which has already
made th em rich.

PHILADELPHIA-Pl ans for F all busi-
ness meetings, Summer weddin gs a nd com-
pany expansions fea ture this month's
Quak er Ci ty new~.
F r a nk Ha mmo n d, workin g busily away,
has taken time out to announ ce th at the
Ph onograph Opera tors' Associati on will re-
sume regular weekl y meetin gs i n Septem-
ber.
Th e Philadelphi a operation of Panoram
So undi es has offi cially begun wi th a hub
form a ti on comprisin g E d " Tippy" Kle in,
Premi er Music Co. head and local di stribu-
tor for Mills Music Ma chin es; W illiam
Helr iegel , Jr. , boss of Keystone Novelty
and M anufacturing Co., territori al Mills'
wh olesaler, and Sammy \Veins te in, Mu-
tual Music Machin es executive. Th e Phila-
del phi a P anoram Co. has h eadqu arters and
di splay service and h as key-spotted rna·
chines all over th e city.
Ha r ry E lkins, th e Phono gra ph Oper-
a tors' secretary, long noted fo r hi s co-
opera tion with his co mpetitors in th e trad e,
has sold out hi s record shop a nd will cen-
ter a ll futu re activity on ope ration of hi s
large routes.
George Levin, of th e Down Town R ec-
ord Shop, is now boas tin g of th e la rgest
reco rd stock in th at section.
Hen r y Margolis is still looking for a
place to stock all those r eco rds h e buys
for hi s m achine~.
A double-dose of co ngratul a tions is due
Pa ul K n owles, R aymond Rosen Co., for
hi s unanimous selection by members of th e
P honograph Operators' Associati on as the
city's most co-opera tive inside sa lesman and
hi s a ppointment as Rosen's chain store
sa lesman.
O pera tor Hu g h Gen e t is back on th e
s treet again , after recuperatin g from an
a ppend ectomy at th e Northe rn Liberties
Hospital.
As a music ti p, it is n' t always a 1941
tun e th at is a "catchy" tun e. Local oper-
a tors pass along the story that many ni ck els
ar e b eing attracted by th e pl ayin g of old-
Seattle. Washington
time popular music alon g modern lin es by
an importa nt vocalist or orch estra.
Lookin g in on th e newly-marrieds, we
find swell-guy H e rb H e ndle r , editor of
th e R CA Ma nufacturin g Co.'s publica tion ,
"Phono gra phi c," and th e popul ar sheet,
" H is Mas ter's Voice," about to join th a t
group. H erb will marry charmin g Flore.nce
Shore of th e H edgerow th ea tri cal group on
August 17.
Sam L ilt, aft er a long life of bachelor-
hoo d, was married las t month and, to cele-
brate the event, bought his bride a new
hom e and himself a new car.
Brideg rooms ar en' t th e only proud. Phila-
delp hians. AI R o d ste in is pra ctically burst-
in g with prid e because, he claims, hi s
daughter recognized him and almost tore
off a fin ger from holdin g it so tightly.
Jac k Bra n d t' s num erous fri ends are gla d
to hea r that hi charmin g wife is recove r-
ing from her se rious illness.
And now, we'll close with a bow to th e
lad wh o is ta kin g th e town by storm ,

Th e old . thrill of firin g a gun is maJ5:in g
Elec tri c "Defense Gun ' an unbeli evable suc-
cess, ~epo rts Automatic, labelin g it a
" natura l" because yo u can hear it . . .
see it fire . . . and feel it go . . . all
for a penny! Quoting old -tim e operators
on th e gun whi ch was tested fo r month s
and is heavy enough not to be knocked off
th e co unte r, A uto!TIatic says: "Elec tri c De-
fense Gun is th e' greatest machin e of its
kind we have ever seen and wiII make
tea dy profits for years to
plenty of
come."

Complet e from a Wu rlitzer 850 t o a batter y of Wurlitzer Strollers, Sard i's, noted Hollywood
location , offers its patron s a 100% Wurl itzer automatic music set up. " G ive the custom ers
the best in automatic music and make it easy for t hem to pla y it." That's t he philosophy of
Sardi's , and it has worked out t o perfection.
