band , tasting frequently of bar refresh-
ments, and putting on an impromptu enter-
tai nment nightly.
In the pinball field, the major news in-
terest, of course, centers around the com-
pletion of Ideal Novelty Company's huge
new building. Carl Trippe, fa st-gaining
"merchant prince" of Ideal intends to main-
tain a display of 100 pin tables in his
lobby at all times-which will make selec-
tion a "see it, buy it" proposition at any
time.
Death made anoth er dent in the amuse-
ment machine field when Harry Schemmer-
horn of St. Charles, Missouri, a familiar
figure in the tra de fo r the past four years,
was killed in an automobile-bus accident
near St. Charles in the middle of January.
This was the first occasion in which
Schemmerhorn had driven his new ca r,
and the story was thus doubly tragic.
The Missouri Amusement Machine Op-
erato rs' Association skipped the regular
January association meeting in favor of a
meeting of the board of directors prior to
the Chicago Show, and attendance at
numerous other meetings through the
month. Th e association is planning a win-
ter party at a downtown hotel, and an all-
day summer outing to be held in June or
July of this year.
Mike Luzaich, one of the junior opera-
tors of the metropolitan circuit, is r ecover-
ing from a cold caught in Chicago. Most
of the St. Louis contingent reports itself
fr ee from the epidemic of flu which has
been bothering other parts of the country.
Visitors to Ideal Novelty Company befor e
that august concern closed its doors at 1518
Market Street in January were Harry
Schooley, Madison, Illinois; Ted Keyes,
F armington, and William McConnell, busi-
ness manager of the southern Illinois
phonograph group. All report busin ess up
through southern Illinois, and are enthu-
siastically buying for the new year.
Myron Marb erry, operator in P asad ena
Hills, a suburb of St. Louis, was married
to Helen Veatch of Kansas City, Missouri,
with a form al wedding January 30. F ellow
operators presented him with a recording
of "It All Comes Back to Me Now" as a
♦
wedding gift.
