The flicker, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, sins dubbed in for the first. show today when costumes failed to arrive on time. However, thru a wait of several films Scandals of 1937. starring Morton Downey, came on with good testimony.
Hume uric overtured A Study in Red as the curtain lifted to a dazzling setting enhanced by a line of 10 beauties. Gran sang Variety Is the Spica of Life and then went into tap.
Jerry Coo slapped out swell squeeze box to St. Louis Blues and Hold That Tiger while he did a bit of eccentrte and rubber-leg hoofing. Minus the pleated plano Coe did an Individual body weaving and torso heaving workout to Rine Prelude that got him a splendid hand. The Two Stevens Sister, deuced with a hunch of hake 'matches and did nice piping to The Cirrus Is Here, with the blond gal skipping off with honors l'lLS her whistle of Mighty Lek a Rose and her vocal interpretation of a day at the circus. Hand was worthy.
Production of Boy Meets Girl waa next, featuring a tap tarp by Petch null Deauville. with the line doing a malefemale costumed lover's dance. Each gal shaped up excellently as a couple hoofing. Kind of baffled some of the audience. Sustaining applause.
Joe Bosser, assisted by a lad, came thru with flying colors in Comedy as YOU Like It, which the RUCIIMICO did Immensely. Beaser works an effeminate routine that registers a howlarlous session. Brand of comedy is fresh, original, presented okeh and could have continued for snore minutes.

Lucille taray, In tights, figured tops in a cannibal war dance to Digga Digga Doo that raised many points on the blood-pressure barometer. The Lime TTIO, pantomimics, are tops in their field. A supposed dummy taken from a trunk la literally tied up in knots. Contortioned stint proved entertaining for an applause reward.

are almost all the girls in the club, but the theater is her life. When her roommate and she both receive offers of seven-year contracts from the Gold Coast, Terry resolutely refuses hem and

It is easy enough to understand why Mr. Norman Bel Geddes was fascinated by the script of Francis Gallagher's Iron Men, is play about the roen who
build the steel skeletnne uf sky-scrapers. presented by Mr. Clertrice at the Longs acre Theater Monday night. Mr. Clecidee, foremost of our realists In matters of
stage design, wes gis-en a chance to pre-
sent the 83d finar nt a building tinder
construction. During the course of the play's action (as a matter nf fact, com-
prising abolit the only real Fiction In the play) girders are swung rieraut by the derrick that Mr. Geddes h. Oared al, the side of the stnge, and actors pretend to rivet them Into potation. Thus the
customers, if they are willing to get stiff necks, can watch the structure of Mr. Geddes' building growing -- mounting
higher and higher toward the Alen. It la more fun watching the advance of the
girders than the advance of the play--
which is understandable, since the girders' advance is both the more rapid
and the more logical.
Mr. Oallagher has offered a novel setting for the U. of his sicene-designerproducer, but beyond that he has offered very little. His tale its ahnut a prize construction gang of four men.

The foreman, of course. H broken. A Anal scene, that aeems to have been included simply to annw the audience to see the girders reach the files. aliiiwe him climbing wearily to hits old job, a stuttering mailman--and then climbing wearily clown again.
Mr. Cletiden, a stickler for realism, has hired nu effete member rif the Lambs to enact lila boss girder-pusher. Instead he hen hired William Made, is gentleman who has netually helped to build the steel skeletons of some of our buildInge and who has never before appeared on the stage in a professional capacity. /t is a daring move, but. its it turns out, a suecensfUl one. Mr. Meade gives
a vivid, believable and for the most part effective perfrirmance--and of course his technique with the girders Is above reproach.
Harold Moffat, who known lem about girders but presumably more about acting. plays the loving and tragic lstln. hand nicely enough. Kathleen Pita contributes a moving bit, as his wife. Small parts are excellently handled by Prank Jaquet, Richard Taber, Jack Carr, Edward V. Bracken and several others. On second night Clark Twelvetreca, who plays the lad who falls, blew far more violently than the wind on the 634 floor.

It is Interesting to note that the Booth

probably the heaviest burden supported

The D'Oyly Carte Opera Company. which is beginning the second round of
its current New york viatt, paused momentarily Thursday night to inject an offering not hitherto played during the
series. It is Ruddlyore. and It we. cautiously added to the repertoire for half a week only, sandwiched between various of the pieces that the company played
during the start of Its engagement.. Ruder/pre isn't the beat made of the
Savoy operas, but it has some amusing Muff to it and acute excellent music.
And It is beautifully done by the visiting Savoyard... Martyn Oreen dam, en
excellent job with the confused and bashful Robin who turned out, to be Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd, John Donn is in tine voice an the not quite so modest

does a decent enough job on the magnificent Choate High Noon number and all the others are valiant. It Really Doesn't Matter, which is, with the night-
mare song from foienthe, about the most difficult hunk of patter in the language. is excellently offered by Messrs. Oreen
and Granville and Mies Marjorie Eyre. Tho Ruddigore may not be in the top
flight at the Savoy pieces, it definitely has its pointa. The satire upon old thud-and-blunder masterpieces is emu.-

virtue, and to say that Raphaeleon hart nothing in common with the traditional

The playbill states that, according to unofficial estimate.. between 5.000 and 20.000 NeBrOen pasa permanently Into

it net been for the Chorus Equity.
Even now that the NRA is no longer In exietenre noire of the benefits won thru
the code have become a custom. The
exposure of conditions in presentation
houses made by Chorus Equity was so
widely publicized and armieed runniuch
public indignation that employers have
not dared to bring hack ell of the con-
ditions existing prior to NRA
All during that fight people working
in preeentatlons were larked to make no
sacrifice, to rink no employment, to do
no work for better condition,.
The
Chorus Equity officials did It all for
them.
There Is no excuse for any member
working in a presentation remaining in
bad standing. The council made a far
more generous concession to those peo-
ple, in un effort to speed up organisation.
than wan made for membere on WPA.
Any member working in a presentation and In arrears for arse. could place him-
self in good standing by paying current dues if paid while working in the pres-
entation. New membera are Showed
concession on the initiation fee.
One member gave us an excuse that the management in the house in which
she aorked asked all chorus people to
sign an agreement that they would pay
no duce to the aeraciation, Whether
that statement is true we do not know,
but if it was her conduct was even more
nhameful. The incident, If correct, oc-
curred during the life of the NRA. Had she reported such a procedure to her
organisation an inveetigatton could very
easily have been made and, under the
ternis of the code, the management
would have been most neverely penalized.

cide to take «rune action against such

DEATH is no respecter of age, persons, rank or character. It snatches its prey at will--and in the case of Ferd Simon, one. of the outstanding "flesh" showmen of the country, it pounced without warning, while he was sleeping the fitful sleep of the weary. The show business lost last week a most promising factor in the successful fight being waged to re-establish stage shows in all their pristine glory in the leading theaters of the country. The world lost a really fine character. And the actor lost one of his most valiant champions.
Sad it is when death takes anyone that we've known and learned to admire and like. Sadder still when the icy hand of death is laid imperiously on one who, according to the oft-violated law of averages, should have had very many years of achievement before him. Ferd Simon was only 41 vcars old when he left us, but in this comparatively brief period he crowded truly a lifetime of accomplishment.
It is customary when writing an eulogistic treatment of one whose mortal being is no more to depict the subject as a saint; as one too good to live and therefore nit-re appropriately dead. Simon was not molded in the classic lines of a saint. Ile (lid not possess the theatrics that are associated with saintliness. But he was a man--a live, forceful, honest, modest and forthright man. Many are the men whose meekness, derived from a lack of guts, earns their' undeservedly the reputation of being kindly and considerate. Simon was both of these, hut he was not meek. Ile fought for those whom he represented in the strenuous atmosphere of the talent mart. Ilis competitors were not particularly fond of him because he fought the whole way for those in his little black book. And he died fighting because the medicos ascribed his untimely demise to overwork.
* * *
This young-old man in a gruelling profession would have smiled less than a week before we write this at the idea of being the subject at this time of a preachment. Which thought serves us as a theme.
There were agents. we well recall, who spoke deprecatingly of Bill Morris while he tvas still in the land of the living. When that fine character took his last bow, when the world arose as one and pointed to hint as one of the sweetest souls that ever blessed the show business with his beautiful presence, the slanderers were lifting their voices in the chorus; their petty squawks drowned in a sea of alligator tears. Desirable as it might be for a man to spread sunshine and good-will as he moves thru life such is human nature that unless a man corrals a good stock of enemies and slanderers he cannot have been much of a success at his chosen work.
There Isn't a man In the higher brackets of the show business--whether he be
so-tor, alma-men or toehnielen--Who hasn't harvested a goodly crop of "I knew him
aherta slanderers; the greater the suceree echieved the larger the assemblage of
"t knew him when- guys following furtively in his footsteps.
If it weren't for the fact that n teepee is necessary to complete the setting
It would be well, Indeed, for the emotional creature, of the show business to attend funerals often. Death Is a great flatiron. In one broad sweep It smoothed out wrinkles of petty strife, Jealousies and all the other negative mspecte of social and business Intercourse. If even for a brief spell the contemplation of death ne a phenomenon that lobe one forever of a loved one, a friend or a buelneas associate nerves to throw into proper focus the pettiness of =lay of the mean things we do in · day.

·
To the agente who hid against him, to other's who regarded him .a., · competitive factor, Peed Simon is no longer an opponent. Death h. Invested him with the robes of an immortal: one who might never have existed among Ise A force greater than a booker or a theater owner has taken Perd'a little black book away from him. Today he la the emence of n ',Moment memory; a regular fellow who played the game according to Hoyle. SOL the other fellow" who remain In the land of the living. Well, they're different. There'll never be a guy like Perd anyway. So It is; regrettably so will It be, in varying degree, always.
Human nature cannot be changed entirely, but It can be altered; In this little world of buying and selling *act, at least in respect to having its denizens realize somewhat more than they did in more hectic dan that we go as we came to this vale pf tear,. Without e little black book, without vanities and without the material pneeasions for which moat of lie sell our very lives and mulls. Paw Feed, about whom we started to speak in this briny concoction of phlloreophy and
Irony, we can truly say that he was truly a eon of Clod. He gave to the needy but few knew of him benefactions, and three who did were blessed with the knowledge that they beheld the noblest deed of man Peed will rest in peace. Because
heaven la a lessen of reward and Peed earned his.

Well Ahead of '35
NEW YORK. Oct. 24.-Colonel W. T.
Johneon's 1936 version of his Championship Roden entered lins nnal week at Madison Square Garden well ahead of last year from an attendance and revenue standpoint. The rodeo. winch eloses its ie-elay run tomorrow. played to 243,616 custnmers thlat last Wednesday. Core-regions are experiencing the heat business they have ever enjoyed at a New York rodeo, and last Saturday marked the largest ¡tingle day's business n cowboy opera has experienced in the Il years, they have rome to New York. If business ciantinues at its present pace it should be aefe to predict that total revenue realized from the show will reach the $450.000 mark.
Injuries to contentante have been plentiful, which is probably verification of the fact that the Colonel's stock is as tough as the San Antonio rancher maintained before the contests began. During the first two weeks of the show exactly 36 cowboy, and cowgirls have been excused front one or more performances for injurlea sustained in fulfil-in. Am usual, they ranged from cute. spreinn and bruises( to broken arma and legs. There have been no fatal accidents.

"BUILDING THE WORLD OF TOMORROW"
The New York World's Fair of 1939 has ad,oted as its theme "Building the World of Tomorrow," depicting the civilization of the future.
We applaud the directors of the forthcoming Exposition tor upsetting traditicn by daring to picture the future, arid we predict that when thc Spring of '39 rolls around The Fair of Fairs will unfold itself on Long Island as a living challenge to all Previous World Fairs,
George A. Harnid, Inc., borrowing a finger front Gotharn's Gargantuan Gauntlet, meets the future with the same spirit that motivates New York's Exposition--rneets it by expanding its facilities to match the ever-growing needs of an ever-growing Amusement Industry, by modernizing these facilities and by looking ahead yet over cognizant of the lessons taught by history and experience.
In "Building the World of Tomorrow" In terms of the outdoor amusement business, George A. Harnid, Inc., modestly feels that it, too, is prepared in challenge the field, not for supremacy, but for a greater ideal that of lifting the business to its proper niche in the affairs of the world, enhancing its standard
and developing its prowess as a great modern factor in pleasing
and entertaining the peoples of the Universe.

Unconventional Convention
It won't be long before the swim-pool fraternity will be migrating to Chi for the annual winter meetings. That is to say, the wine boye in the industry will journey to the Windy City to participate in the confabs evielle some of the so-called "wise guys" will sit at home. as in the past, and belittle each and every discussion at the convention.
Not once but many times have I preached the values and 'benefits that can be obtained by one attending the NAAPPB meetings As n matter of fact. I could never find space in one article to list ell the advantages that a pool man. Whether he be an operator of an Indoor or outdoor tank. can receive by listening in on the paper's or Joining in the round-table discussions. It'e these round-table gatherings where everyone has a chance to pitch in and offer suggestion's all of which was inaugurated at last year's meetings, that are alone worth the price of train, bus or air fare to Chicago.
The mignon of open discussion or "freefor-all-affains" as Paul Morris. head of the pool program committee, has labeled It. Is what makes the swim-pool convention the interesting event it is. And take the advice of one who has been to the meetings and who has also attended many conventions in other fields and industries, it pays to attend even if one has to mortgage the pool to raise

and the average employee figures he Is outsmarting somebody when he does not use them, but he is only outsmarting himself.
I could name many concrete examples on our show and others, Owners and agents have talked to me "with tears in their eyes" about this subject in
the last few years, and sometimes they were more to be criticized than the
member, of the shows they were condemning. The average outdoor showman does not realize how much of a mythical
character he is to the home-town man, nor does he know how many times a
small purchase from him is advertised to the adjoining stores. I remember one case of a hard-boiled, stingy, narrow-minded man whose perverted attitude toward outdoor shows and outdoor showmen was changed because a very small
show bought less than 5100 worth of goods from him.
lust one example. I lived in Amarillo. Tex., for the several years I was
out of show business. I was the owner of some stock in a corporation, the president of which at that time owned the lot where carnivals and other week-
stand shows exhibited. He also owned two big dry goods stores. A certain carnival was playing the town. and during that week this man had a big sale
on in his
. The weather was very bad.
The sale did not go over.
Neither did the carnival shows do any good. Looking for an excuse, this man told
me he was going to raise the lot rent 100 per cent, for the carnival took all the
money out of town. I took him to the show and had him go over the books with me and the carnival had also lost money. I then took him around the
lot and in less than 20 minutes he met people who had bought more than $350
worth of merchandise from him that week. It was not "framed." Since then
ho has been a believer in outdoor shows, but he asked me why we did not let
him know that we spent that kind of money.
Those little slips would have made that question unnecessary. I believe
that 250 should be issued each week for each employee on a week-stand show.
I realise that many of them will be wasted, but still

Mr. Menke calculated that this in-

By JACK GREENBERG
President the Continental Mercantile Company
Here are a few idea. on selling SiCE
that I.pleked up during my lifetime in the tie inelnese. It le up to you to
select the method which yotà may feel you are nitwit capable of following:
First, of course, is the street pitch. There are many variations. The most
Important things necessary for a secreeeful street pitch are: (1) an Kittention getter. and (2) an attention holder.
The ettentIon getter may be a magic
trick which 'enmity taken from 15 to 30 minutes to materialize so that the people will stick around, or you can act "nuts." The attention holder should be
a demonstration of aome sort on ties,
Per Instance, ask one of the audience to
hold one end of the tie and twist it
pretty tight. While doing this make a spiel on the super quality of your ties. Then light a newspaper torch and pees
it under the tie. The tie won't burn. Or hang a tie by one end and mid weight» to the Other, Increasing the
weight slowly. The tic won't rip. There are many other» too numerous to
mention. For a high-elm. Street pitch you can
tree galremeree swatches such Ital Are Steed in window trims. For this you will need
a showy toton, which can be bought in any hardware atore. A stick of nickeled
steel about one-half Inch thick end
about 113 Mellen long will do. This le to focus Attention of the prospect on what you are doing. Then Meter., pf showing tire you show your swatches. With a
little practice you can get. the knack of folding your gwatchter with your baton
down perfect.
This Is Important, as
your prospective customero must not
have their minds too much taken steely
from your spiel. This method la Melia:sae and le used is lot. In selling better
Mee on city streets,. Then there Is the concession method.
This consists of placing lu various live
spots, such as cigar stores, department stores and pool parlors, n small meek of ties on consignment, giving the propr)etor a percentage. This requires a greater investment than the street pitch. but le a good way of doing business, as it permits you to take advantage of the good WIll of your customer.
Another gond method of selling ties in quantity is the norme a/dents-surd. The
beat way to use the small ealeehoard lu to pionce It with a timekeeper or foreman in n large industrial plant, cor barn. bun garner, or similar spot. You then make a prize of a half dozen ties for the 'winner and a half dozen or cash for the person handling it. If you give good
values you can count safely on a 50 per rent markup. You will build up e big
following and con continue to work the same spots Indefinitely.
find If you get these things down pat In
your mind you will
that the price
you get for your ties, will become
secondary in your mind as well ne in
your prospective customer's mind. If
you give your customer a good time he
will pay 10 or 15 cents more for the
tame tie than he would otherwise,
either to you or to a storekeeper.
Absysyn keep in mind that the public want, to be amused and will pay for amusement. Remember that the customer In order to buy from you must be made to feel either far superior or far inferior to you mentally and financially. A salesman must always liner plenty of nerve. While making a den,ongtration you must keep moving and
talking. You must have your spiel down no perfectly that you can exchange remarks with the ·.nclece guys" in your
audience and still be ahlo to go on from where you left off. These points are the main essentials of pitching any Item.

By SID SEIDENBERG Tow Dailey. Bt. Louie carnival
and 'special event promoter. 'show-
man. concessioner and shooting gal-
lery operator, who for years has been giving the boys of Pitchdoen a break
by renting them the front of his
shooting gallery on one of the main
streets, not only backs up the boys
against a "slough" by fronting for
them with the authorities-that-be,
but backs them up with a regular
merchant's render. / have had the
pleasure of Tom's acquaintance for
years and he knows what's what In
any branch of the amusement world.
When he told me to go down to the
next corner and watch a knight of
the tripod fraternity make a real
pitch / went to keep from missing
my the little but effeetive chow that
made such an impression on
good
friend.
As usual Tom was right, for there
was none Other than that clever, vermeil," knight, Thomas A. (Slim)
Rhodes, making one of his gather-in-
plenty-of-money talks, working high
under a big umbrella to a good-sired tip on the sidewalk.
I soon found out just why Tom Casey believed Rhodes was clever.
Slim was talking in that usual, every-
day business tone of voice with the
same confidence one finds in a real.-
mari who la selling a meritorious na-
tionally advertised Item. Hia clever
manipulations of magic along with
a laugh-getting monolog gathered
and held the tip. When he started in hie turn with the slum package he
made n presenut that would make the
best in the busineae ait up and take
notice.
I can't say that Slim la original by
working high under one of those big
shade urnbrell., but I do say It is
saw the fir. tin. I ever
anyone work
In a doorway on the shady side of the
street with one and I had it doped
that the umbrella was helping him
attract hies tips.
Slim hes been making his selling
talks for the last seven years. Prior
to that time he was a used-car sales-
man on a parking lot which was
worked by the boys of Pitchdorn.
Automobile selling was all right with
Rhodes, but when he saw nonir of the
boys make their ...outs an auto
company Icet a perfectly good used-
car salesman.
Rhodes territory la nation wide.
The mianun and daughter, Ruth, 5
yearn old, accompany him on his
travois Rhodes is 20 years old and

Knoxville Paper Weighs Benefits of New Meters
The spread of parking meters may serve to attract more popular interest
in coin-operated devices as a mechanical
convenience and may also give the in-
Mosley more consideration an an eco-
nomic factor. Antoine may raise "Cain." but at least the parking-meter idea
eeems to be spreading far and wide.
The Knexedlle Journal editorializes on
the benefits of the meters A. follows:
"Considerable discussion has taken
place in Knoxville lately as to whether or not our city should adopt a nvezetu
of metered automobile parking on Its
bualest streets. City council has hod
the project under consideration for sev-
eral weeks and it La to be hoped that
its final decision will be to install the
meters on a trial basis without charge
to the city, giving the public a chance
to test the system which has proved successful in so many other places.
"The Dallas Journal, in commenting
upon the experience of that city with
meter parking, cite. that amont the ac-
complishments of the first year of the present isdminintratlon 'the Installation
of parking meters is to be placed at the top,' the benefits being listed as the
city's revenue of 6140.000 from the sys-
tem. the speeding up nf traffic. the In-
create of parking space for short-time markets thru the elimination of the
parking-space 'hog? who leave their care
at one spot for long periods of time, the
decrease In double parking and greater
ease of deliveries, by truckmen and
expressmen. "The Journal also reports that 'the
public response han been not only favor-
able but enthusiastic, and merchants on
the three main downtown 'streets are the
best advocates in the city for parking.
meter operation.'
"M City Manager Dempster has
and pointed out, the right to park on the
street Is a privilege
not an Inherent
right given bromine of residence within
the city.
"The manufacturers of one meter de-
vice have offered to install their product
for a period of 90 days. If it ,should be found during that time that parking
machines are not practicable in Knox-
ville they would be removed without
any cost at all to the city. This scheme, however, promises to solve a sessions
situntion of traffic congestion and It
would be · mistake not to give It ·
trial."

Merchants regard the situation in New

nothing of an official nature toward this end has yet come to light.

"During the many yearn that I have been advertising in The Billboard," relates Dave Robbins. -/ have never had such a ready response to any machine as / have had on the new OK Vender. Not

Ex-Marine Says Seeburg Haro-Lite Is Standard
NEWARK, Oct. 24. - Dave Stern, of Royal Distributors Inc.. ex...Marine of the 10th Regiment. First company. U. B. M. C., says that "the only ray gun that approaches the ristrolnrinn Marine
rifle is the Ray-o-Lite." Stern was formerly a gurpriral In the Marines and enjoys chatting on experiences of the old days.
"When I became Interested ln the now
ray guns I first tested them for marksmanshi,s as I would In the corps. Having won a medal in sharpshooting. I know something about rifles and I was Interested to see how elnse the Colnmachine manufacturers came to Understanding regulation sights. weight& stocka and barrels.
I was much surprised to find that most of the guns did not take these things into consideration. except for the Ray-o-Lite. which I find closest to United States Army regulations. I have
therefore signed for the distribution of the Ray-o -Lite in my territory. whem I
believe it will prove the most popular of all the ray guns.
"Any former army men who une the gun will also instantly recall these regulations and will agree with me se to the gun itself."

Exhibit Speeding
On New 1-Shotters
CHICAGO, Oct. 24.--Exhibit Supply Company plant is humming these days In turning out two new one-shot table crimes. Leo J. Kelly, wiles manager, shows collection reports and orders for the games that indicate the success of the grimes.
According to Kelly, "Client Movie Bank
and Trap Lite are large, massive. 50x25.. inch games. They arn n long stride from early days of the Industry when pin games could be carried under the arm and the metal stand was extra equipment. The man who said the pin-garne W219111990 Is the fastest moving industry in the world certainly made truthful statement.
"Think of upending 80,000 to tool
up on a ainglo game and then think how
rind hazardous a business is manufacturing.
Rarely will you
a group of men with
such trim commercial courage as the
coln-nutehlne manufacturers. Many op-
erators imagine they take all the
chances, but, after viewing experimental
scrap heaps in factory after factory
ene will be inclined to cheer for the
ability of the manufacturer to take hin
gigantic losses without a murmur. Grime
priers me up. they coat money these,
days, but after all everyone knows that
a game that makes money really doesn't cost anything. How can anything be
expensive and profitable at tho same
Ume?
"Client Movie Rank haa mystery changing odds. Every time the grime in played new odds appear from 10 centa to 82. Any hole on the board will pay the odds Indicated. The big feature of the game is the automatic accuiritilatmg bank jackpot. With every 200 plays this bank Increases 112.
"Of course, If the player makes the Bank Holes on the board three times in succession the bank ia autoinatleally paid and the process of accumlating starts over. The bank can reach n top of 842. Another feature that should create a lot of thrills for the players Is
the 82 that comes to the player upon putting two balls in succesalon in the bank hole and then put the ball the next
time into a payout hole. It, makes no difference if the odds show only 10 cents, out cornea the $2. To clear this up a bit you should know that the 1.11 Shot thru the Bank Hole returns for free play.
"Trap Lila appears to be a gante enUrely new and' different. Falling traps light up lights that set tip the payout
odds. Looks like the pinyer will get a ler, of amusement from this game. Both Trap Lite and Giant Movie Bank conte o-mplete with ticket unit so that the operator is prepared to operate on checks, money or tickets. Cheek tope-

"Yes, the coin-machine industry moves fast. Even the workers at the filetory tasks assembling these games seem to be filled with that enthusiastic tension that has pushed our great Industry to the top in spite of unusual handicaps. It's groat visiting these coin-rnachine plants. If you've never visited Chicago jilmi to do eo soon and then by all means go visiting and see all the manufacturers and what they aro doing for you."
Stres4es Utility of New Shoot-a -Lite Ray Device
CHICAGO, Oct. 24.--"Af ter pioneering coin-operated photo-electric cell machines you could naturally expect us to run out something new and different In an electric eye rifle target machine and we've done just that." said Len Kelly, sale« manager of Exhibit Supply Company, recently.
"This is one time," continued Kelly, "when the pioneer comes into his own. Usually the pioneer blazes thc trail and along comes the other fellow and cashes in, but this tinte we're out in front. Our new rifle target machine will be pneduced at a price that every operator can afford. We can produce our machine at low cost because we have no expensive experimenting to do. We have no special tools nor dies to make. We have them all made and have already charged them off in the production of our other type photo-cell inachines. We were ahead of the market by about a year, so we have
year's start. The operator is the winner niong with us because Shoot-a -Lite Is not only priced low, It is perfect mechanically and a proven money maker.
"Shoot-a-Lite can be used everywhere because it takes up but little space. We. furnish it, with adjustable pedestal no that It can be adjusted for proper height to suit the location. If the pedestal cannot be used snoot.a-Lite can be hung on the wall or suspended from the ceiling. There are moving targets that are new. and different end we intend to furnish various new target themes from time to time so that operators can be sure of top income at all times."

finy-o-Lite Meets Basic Need for Real Pleasure
CHICAGO. Oct. 24.--The makers of the Ray-o-Llte target machine nay that the target principle meets the public need for entertalinnent that la wholesome and brodeally simple in an age that hoe every
comfort and luxury developed to a high degree.
The skill rippeal and the thrill or hunting is still very predominant in human nature. The creators of tills unusual In-whine have capitalised on this universal appeal, Incorporating It into n rifle range suitable for almost any location. The Ray-o -Lite rifle range approximates the excitement of Mark hunting with none of the discomforts
nr a damp cold duck blind. Placed In night clubs, country and town clubs. hotel lobbies, amusement arcades and many various types of locations,, the peeburg Ray-o-Ltte rifle ;singe draws tremolo:1mM play. Gentlemen In top hats and tails. wortteh in swanky evening gowns, people of all aeon have tried their skill on the Rey-o-Litc and, deriving satisfaction and much pleasure, have played it again and again. According to profit reports Irons Cnw`t to Coast, the tickle and sophisticeted American public has responded to the wholesome entertainment of thin machine to build up an enormous play.
Althn the playing appeal of the Seeburg Ray-o -Lite rifle range te considered simple and down-to-earth. Its actual electrical and mechanical aetion La entirely modern. Perfect in every detail, it possesses the latest In scientific contribution. A regulation size rifle ahonts ray of light toward the sporty range, Inclosed in a beautifully modernistic cabinet. A moving duck comes view., the range. If the ray of light melees a direct hit a photo -electricel cell within the duck registers the score and the duck falls over. An illuminated panel registers the scores as they are made.
The produrtinn of this machine entailed two years of research before Seeburg engineers were assured of its mechanical and elec. Went penes-than. Today the marvelous trouble-free operation nf over 1,000 Ray-o -Lite rifle ranges, placed on location within 20 months,
presents concrete evidence to the fact that their research was not in vain.
Einapite the fact that the producUon department Is working at full schedule to meet shipment requirements, the IIgh standard of manufacturing characteristic. of the T. P. Sechttre Corporation Inr over 30 years Is not sacrificed.

ONE BETTER!
*This big new pay table by ROCK -OLA is named ONE BETTER because
the play is based on the clever new idea of scoring · number, then winning
by scoring another number one better than the first. More than that, it
is named ONE BETTER because, on actual test right out on location, it
proves itself to be ONE BETTER than anything else in the pay table field!
*Experienced operators know that the demand today--niore than
anything else--is for a pay table ern and simple to play. Of course.
it must be large and impressive. Colorful. Attractive. Appealing!
*ONE BETTER is all that--and then some! *The play on ONE
BETTER is the most simple . .the molt easily understood of
any table ever built. When the big 1 inch steel ball first
enters the playing field, it passes a row of switches num-
bered from 15 to 20. The number of whichever switch the
ball rolls over is Instantly flashed on the brilliant ONE
BETTER light-up panel. Then the ball rolls down
toward another row of switches which determine the
odds--and as the ball rolls through one of them, the
odds are posted on the light panel. So--the ball
continues on its way down the field towards
another row of switches. These arc numbered
from 16 to 21. If the ball rolls through a
switch numbered one higher (ONE BETTER)
than rh. tint number lighted-1n wins--and his
odds are already determined and shown on lights!
