of candy, popcorn and cold drinks in
theaters are now well known. No one has
ever disputed this fact, and it would seem
that such operation grows increasingly more
acceptable and profitable as time goes on.
However, for the sake of showmanship, it
must be realized, and we reiterate it in
conclusion, that elien.JlWre important is the
public service angle. By maintaining the
'extra profit' item as a service to the theater
patrons, confection vending is given its
proper relation to the theater's real business
- entertainment."
Miss Kent, whether knowingly or not, has
done an excellent job of public relations
for the vending machine section of the coin
machine industry. It's up to operators
themselves to capitalize. Her suggestions
will make many a theater manager now
listen to an operator's plans with a ready
ear.

PHILADELPHIA-A tremendous reno-
vation campaign is being undertaken by
local music machine operators. All types of
phonographs are being moderni:l;ed and pre-
pared for use should the drastic elimination
of new machines make necessary placement
of old equipment.
The annual social event of the local op-
erator spring season is the Phonograph
Operators of Eastern Pennsylvania and New
Jersey dance and banquet. This year the
widely-awaited affair will be held at the
classy Club Bali on Sunday evening, May 5.
Entertainers from New York and Phila-
delphia will provide the pleasure for op-
erators, their wives and guests. In addition
a number of prominent civic officials and
judicial personalities are expected to attend
the affair which will have an attendance of
several hundred.
Affairs for the banquet are being capably
handled by business manager Jack Cade
. and Sam Stern, both of whom are already
working-in-high on the line-up for the eve-
ning's amusement. A name-orchestra and
singers of the various recording companies
have already been assured the operators by
Raymond Rosen & Co. and other distrib-
utors. A special tie-up has been arranged
with the "Bonds For Victory" committee
in order' to provide guests with a unique,
patriotic souvenir of the occasion.
The entertainment committee for the ban-
quet, in addition to chairman Sam Stern,
consists of Ben Hankin and Herman Scott.
The year book committee is comprised of:

The Phonograph Operators are already
planning a long range, powerful public re-
lations and good-will campaign intended to
instruct the public regarding the usefulness
of their industry and the tremendous bene-
fits in employment, pleasure and entertain-
ment derived from music machines. A well-
known public relations expert will be hired
to handle the task of acquainting Mr. and
Mrs. Average American with the phono-
graph and its usefulness.
First step taken by the Association to
cooperate with defense has been to change
their music-machine label ' to a patrioti«
motif. Prominent words on the label are
"Buy Bonds For Victory."

the same band's dandy "The Story Of A
Starry Night" while Dinah Shore also
moved back into the hitrack with "Good-
night Captain Curly-Head" and a teaming
with Freddy Martin on "I Looked At
Heaven". Vaughn Monroe's warbling of
"Honey Dear" has already succeeded in
making girls dig deep for more nickels.
Tommy Dorsey's "What Is This Thing
Called Love" has stirred many memories,
while Sammy Kaye's moans about "Seeing
You Did Me No Good" is another hitune.
Hal McIntyre's new band has swiftly caught
on with " How Do I Know It's Real" while
Artie Shaw stays in the top ranks with
"Somebody Nobody Loves".
The dinner meeting of the Association
was held this month at Benny The Bum's,
a swell place despite the tag, and every-
body is still raving about the excellentype
entertainment turned-in by the member's
impromptu dancing and singing. Some.of the
men have already received offers from Izzy
Hirst's Troc troupe.
Eddie Heller, Abe Lyman's record promo-
tion manager, returned home for a few days
before taking leave for Uncle Sam's Army,
and the flood of good-wishes which he re-
ceived merely proved once more than he
was tops in popularity.

Atlas Ready With Games
CHICAGO- In anticipation of the ap-
proaching deadline on May 1st when all
manufacturing of coin-c.ontrolled equipment
will stop, the Atlas Novelty Co., is con-
tinuing more strongly than ever the policy
of buying all types of good, late equipment.
For several months Eddie and Morris
Ginsburg, Atlas officials, have been stocking
up on both new and used equipment. The
sales have beyn good during the past few
weeks and they feel this stock is still suffi -
cient to serve their customers for many
months.
When May 1st arrives Atlas expects to
have a stock second to none in the world
in size and variety. Operators can there-
fore depend upon Atlas for all the machines
they will need to keep their .operating busi-
ness on a profitable plane for the duration.
Wise operators are looking ahead right
now and buying what they need before
shortages bring higher prices.
Grundy Back
LOS ANGELES- W. Kay Grundy has
just returned from an extended business
trip which took him the length and breadth
of California.
While in San Francisco, Mr. and Mrs.
Grundy spent some time with Fred Trevil-
lian, who was returning to his operations in
Hawaii. Fred had waited three weeks for
passage and finally had to ship as a first-
class seaman to get back to the Islands.
Grundy is readying a new machine which
will shortly be announced.
