HIS DIRECTORY is the outgrowth of another success". ful and long established annual publication, the CAVALCADE & DIRECTORY OF FAIRS. The fair edition
primarily contains extensive listings of North American fairs and exhibitions, and the results of an annual market study. It is recognized as the most useful reference book in the fair industry and is used primarily by commercial exhib-
itors, concessionaires and the purveyors of attractions and shows which are booked into fairs.
Because the fair edition is also distributed to fair managers and directors, many acts, shows and other attractions have advertised in it. There were relatively few pages of "attractions" type advertising in CAVALCADE adecade ago when fairs collectively spent about $10 million for entertainment. But, as more and more fairs switched to big names--TV stars, recording artists and the like--the grandstand show became the indispensible crowd drawer. Concurrently, fair talent budgets skyrocketed ... more than tripling between 1961 and 1972 to $35 million. During the same time, the volume of "attractions" advertising in CAVALCADE increased proportionately and, in recent years, has dominated the fair directory.
The idea to publish separate Fair and Attractions directories was first proposed three years ago. It is sensible because neither the fair industry's needs nor purposes are identical with those of carnivals, acts or attractions. Their
operating methods marketing problems and aims are distinc and deserve separate directories. As in the past, CAVALCADE & DIRECTORY OF FAIRS iS being distributed to over 12,000 exhibitors, concessionaires, attractions management
and senior marketing executives of advertising agencies, and manufacturers of agricultural and consumer products.
This directory, CAVALCADE OF ACTS & ATTRAC-
TIONS, is being sent to over 15,000 talent buyers. The circulation is literally blanketing both professional and nonprofessional talent buyers and offers organized shows, acts and other attractions an entree to the total mass entertain-
ment market: all 2,900-plus fairs and exhibitions in North
America (talent budget: $35 million); over 2,000 amusement parks, tourist attractions and parks (talent budget: $13
million); over 1,500 colleges and universities (talent budget: $50 million-plus); some 800 professional promoters, producers and booking agents (talent budget: $100 millionplus); several thousand shopping centers; national, State
and metropolitan fraternal and civic sponsors such as Shrine, Elks, Jaycees; several hundred Bicentennial com-
mittees, and the sponsors of parades, celebrations, and summer festivals such as the Chambers of Commerce in every city of 100,000 population or more.
We believe that experience will prove that both reader and advertiser in this new Cavalcade are getting an excellent buy.

How to Select aBooking Agency

1) How to book ashow and not get ro oked.

SELECTING THE RIGHT booking
agent may be more critical than picking the headliner or other acts who appear
in your show, especially if you buy entertainment only occasionally or once a
year. The booking agent is the keystone to
any show because the agent can favor-
ably affect the cost and quality of your show. The conscientious agent is more than an order-taker or broker. He is a
professional who can guide you on all

aspects such as the best acts for your audience, budget, production problems and equipment, staging and properly servicing the artist.
Professional concert promoters who are knowledgeable in production, scaling a house, current price scales of acts, the drawing power of particular acts, promotion and the art of making an act feel at home normally buy direct from the major agencies or the act's personal representative. This is fine for the pro-

fessional who makes his living promoting shows.
But the amateur or occasional talent buyer--whether he be acting for a fair, college, night club, fraternal group, amusement park or civic committee-- would be best advised to find a good booking agent and stay with him. This is
the policy followed by most experienced amusement park, fair and nightclub managers who have relatively huge budgets.
Cont'd. on page 8

2) The case for buying through a"major" talent agency.

IN RESPONSE TO THE QUERY,
"What can a big talent agency do for a fair?" big agency personnel make their
spontaneous remarks: "Quality productions as opposed to
schlock," suggests Creative Management
Associates' Eldred O. Stacy.
"We know in November who'll be important the following August," states the William Morris Agency's Sid Epstein.
"If we hadn't stepped in with name talent, the fairs would not have devel-
oped to their present stature," replies
International Famous Agency's Joe Hig-

gins. CONSENSUS. Big talent agency spokesmen see the name of the game in the fair talent market as a hunt for big name talent. Although admitting numerous exceptions, especially where the small agency takes on the role of producer for a fair's grandstand show, these same spokesmen see the big talent agency as
providing the most direct communication with big name talent, at the lowest possible cost, for the fair market.
Epstein said that the name game gets
so intense that he even receives requests

for big name sports figures to play fair dates. But with baseball in full swing
and all other sports in training, the availability of sports figures during the fair season is nil.
"Many stars are unavailable," said Stacy, adding that the "bigger the act, the less likely it is to be available for fair dates."
Making big talent accessible to the fair market is the big agency's key role
according to Higgins, who introduces the concept of creative programming in
Con'td. on page 21

3) The case for buying through an "independent" agency.

IF BETTE KAYE HAD HER WAY
there would be love and kisses everywhere in the talent business. Friendship, consideration, flowers and fruit in dressing rooms, ready transportation for acts, proper arrangements for housing and grounds admission--and on, and on.
The business isn't that way across the board, however, but that doesn't stop her from trying hard. The Kaye philosophy isn't unique to her alone. Many independent agents/producers do it. She calls it simply, "service."
A dialogue has emerged in recent years about the respective roles of the major agencies which control most bigname acts, and what for lack of a better terms, can be called the grass-roots
6

agents. Behind the discussion is this basic fact: Both sources sell to the buyer or sponsor, such as fairs with grand-
stands. What can one entity do that another
cannot? What are the price factors? Just what is "dependability"? Does the fair ever have any guarantees that things will go as planned?
"It's really, really a rough hassle," Bette Kaye says. "It's so rough that it makes competitors of people who basically like one another. All the independent really has to sell, when you come down to it, is service.
"Now, what service means to one per-
son may be different to someone else. To me, it means I will almost literally

break my neck to protect my clients. and my reputation. ..."
Based in Sacramento, Calif., Kaye
Productions is neither the biggest nor the smallest of agencies, but it's certainly among the brashest. And service is an underlying theme of the message. Anybody can sell an act, the message goes; even if a company has every act under the sun under contract, it still has to deliver and keep all its clients happy. So in that atmosphere it has nothing left to sell except service.
"I'll tell you what that is. I finally got to Nashville and said hello to Danny Davis and he said, 'I've really been looking forward to getting to know you,'

How to book ashow and not get rooked ..·
Cont'd. from page 6

LARGE OR SMALL AGENCY? Look in your city's phone book or if you're in a very small town, contact your closest big city and find the listings under "Theatrical Agents/Agencies." Or, refer
to the list of booking Agents in this directory.
Almost every sizeable city has at least one agency. If you are in alarge metropolis, you'll have dozens to choose from. You may recognize a few of the agency names from newspapers, TV, etc.--William Morris, Associated Booking, International Famous, Creative Management and others. Now you have achoice.
These large agencies represent dozens--in some cases hundreds--of performers. They are really full-line agencies and can offer almost any type of act and service available.
In fact, some large agencies represent so many acts that sometime the agents are not even sure what a particular act does, what it might need in technical equipment or if it is self-contained (carries its own musicians). The large agencies have a weekly "Act Advice" listing each act they represent, giving the dates already booked and the name of the agent who has complete details on the act. Most agents in large agencies specialize in one or two fields, i.e., con,certs vs. special events, night clubs vs. television, etc. Specializing in one area
while representing so many clients is why some agents have to refer to the "Act Advice" to see if a particular artist is even handled by his company.
All the large, national agencies represent talent directly, usually exclusively, and can produce your show. Of course, you can buy from the agency and put a star together with a band or orchestra and make all of the dozens of arrangements yourself. But this is usually aheadache and best left to the professional.
A second choice is to buy a "package show" from a large agency whereby the agents puts together ashow with as many or few acts as your budget allows, including band or full-scale orchestra, de-
8

pending on the needs of your star. The large agency will--or should--provide
a "producer" for your show. In fact, if
you have a sizeable budget, stipulate this in your contract with the agency.
The producer is a liaison who will work with you and the acts, set up rehearsal times, make certain your technical facilities comply with what is needed and a thousand other details you are un-
likely to think of. You will pay the agency a set fee for this "package" and
it, in turn, will pay the various acts.
You will, of course, be paying for the producer, but it will be to your advantage in the long run.
THE SMALL AGENCY. A third alternative and a particularly good one if you're careful which agency you choose is the smaller, independent theatrical
agent--sometimes called a sub-agent or producer. He will buy your star and
other acts from the larger agency and contract with your organization to provide the show at a set price, usually with a 10% to 20% markup.
Here is where you must be careful. As in any business, there are a few fast
talkers out to make a quick buck and they may charge up to 50% more than
they pay for an act and not worry about return business. The additional 10-20% paid to a reputable agency is well worth
the cost as you will usually get plenty of service from the small agent who depends on his good reputation and return
business in order to make a living.
After you have settled on an agent and decide on the lineup of acts,
you will find yourself in a period of limbo--waiting while the agent goes to the star's personal manager to clear the
date. The agent must make certain there are no conflicting appointments for the
star on that day. Also, there may be a price hassle. The price quoted you may
buy the usual price but for your particu-
lar date the star may have to travel a great distance, postpone something he wanted to do the day before, etc., and therefore will only accept your date if

the money offered is bettered or travel and accommodations are provided.
Once the star accepts your date, make sure that he will be able to arrive from wherever he is the preceding night in
plenty of time for a rehearsal and for your show. In other words, don't book a star into Charlotte, N. C., the day after he is appearing in Honolulu. This should be the responsibility of the personal manager but again, there's the old money fever and they may think they can make your date even though it's the middle of winter and airports can be socked-in.
A good rule of thumb is to know where the acts appearing in your show are appearing during the two days before your show and to have the agent check out alternate emergency transportation arrangements. Remember, an artist's legal obligation to make your date can be negated by "act of God" weather.
Also, almost every star has a cancellation clause in the contract. These are exercised. So, protect yourself by negotiating your contract early in the event your first choice cancels out a couple of months before your affair so you will still have time to contract with an alternative. If your star demands a lot of money, you too, can be demanding by insisting on a 60-day rather than 30-day cancellation clause, thereby giving yourself two months of advance warning in case something happens.
Also, do not--under any circumstances--have publicity printed or invitations sent out naming performers on your show until the cancellation clause period is up ...or you may spend all of your forthcoming profit on new pub-
licity material or new invitations. Finally, plan ahead. Plan six months to
a year ahead of your event . . . especially if you're after a big name star whose schedule is set well in advance because of television and film commitments.

APPEARANCE!

HIE ARIZONA REPUBLIC 2 Tues., Nov. 7, 1972
Jose Feliciano lights their musical fires

"Jose Feliciano seems hardly bigger than his guitar as he is led on stage.
He takes up his position on atall stool and

methodically proceeds to tear apart his guitar, the audience and the Memorial Coliseum.

Too bad he couldn't have seen the double standing ovation he got.

Feliciano is one of the most gifted guitarists of our time and his show displayed every facet of his virtuosity.

Despite repeated yelled requests, he maintained tight control over his material and sang what he

wanted to.

Then he played an old banjo standby he'd transposed for guitar, "Foggy Mountain Breakdown," the theme

of the film, "Bonnie and Clyde." The sound was nothing short of incredible. All the banjo frailing was there but the sound was immensely richer.
"'Light My Fire,' "yelled agirl in the

audience. "Well, after the show, OK?" he answered.

After just acouple chords, each number was greeted with warm applause. It was a

partisan crowd and he gave them what they came for.

Feliciano entertained with funny impressions of other performers. He

had Bobbie Dylan, Ed Sullivan, Sachmo Armstrong doing Dylan, the Godfather,

the Godfather singing rock and roll.

He gave them "California Dreaming"

and "My Sweet Lord" and the crowd

would have stayed all night. When it

was over he climbed down from his

stool and bowed awkwardly toward

the sound of the thunderous applause.

They, of course, called him back for one more.

But it was he who lit theirs."

is twhheatshmoawkegso BY W BRUCE LEHRKE
EVERY MAN OR WOMAN who allocates a budget
to promote a product or service could learn some good lessons from Sears Roebuck and Co. where planned ad-
vertising is a fact of sound business practice and much of the reason for Sears monumental success.
Sears has a battery of men who work at the key role of planning advertising; not only budgeting, but even more important ...timing.
For example, there is a man in Sears main advertising department that could tell you right now that on October 11, 1973 the main Sears store in Waterloo, Iowa will spend $11.49 advertising men's white cloth work gloves that will retail at 39e a pair. He will further tell you that between October 12 and 20 that store will sell 246 pairs of those gloves.
The Sears theory is simple. In Waterloo, Iowa in midOctober men's white work gloves will sell better than at any other time in the year and that is the time to spend the promotion money.
The same theory can work wonders with any entertainment event budget. If you are selling admission tickets, obviously, they are going to sell better during the week of the event than they will 30 days ahead of it. Therefore,
the bulk of the advertising money must be spent during the final week of an entertainment promotion.
What Size Budget?--The amount of money used to promote an entertainment event must be tailored to fit the individual market and there are several basic items to consider: size of market area, number of potential customers (for some events only certain age groups or income groups will attend), number of performances and a realistic gross potential.
Obviously, a first year campaign will normally require a greater budget and some events will spend 20% of their gross potential sales for an advertising budget; then drop to 15% in subsequent years. It is our feeling that this is not too bad a rule of thumb for a multiple performance event, if someone has used his head and set a realistic number of performances for a market.
We do not go along with a theory used by some events where the greatest number of performances possible are scheduled. In other words, if there are enough seats in six performances to handle the traffic, we cannot find a sensible business reason to schedule 10 performances.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR W. Bruce Lehrke, a former ranch and rodeo cowboy, is also a former newspaperman who worked in the advertising and promotion departments of daily papers. He underwrote and promoted his first rodeo at the age of 22 and has been one of the nation's leading fulltime rodeo management and promotion directors for the past dozen years. He has been on the policy making International Rodeo Association board of governors since it was established in 1964, has been advertising director for IRA's official publication, Rodeo News since 1963 and director of Loretta Lynn's Longhorn Rodeo operations, nationally, for the past six years. The company totally underwrites over 80% of the rodeos it produces and will be appearing in major indoor facilities in 20 markets in 1973.
11

To us, apromotion budget is abread and butter neces-
sary expense and we try to set our budgets accordingly. The more merchandising and advertising support we can
get from local businesses and national products with tieins, the better our advertising dollars are going to work.
If tie-in support is extra good with some other product, for example, giving us a tremendous amount of radio or TV time, we will pull back some of our advertising dollars in that media and, perhaps, will bolster our newspaper budget with the extra money.
WHAT MEDIA7--Through extensive surveys in specific markets we have determined the following rating of
effectiveness for various media, for rodeo, and we would presume that the same ratio would pretty well work for most other entertainment events:
1. DAILY NEWSPAPERS: No matter who you are, when you decide to go out for an evening or afternoon you look to the entertainment page of the daily newspaper to find out what is going on.
2. BILLBOARDS: If billboards are strategically placed
and the art is good almost everyone in the market will be exposed to them. Sometimes smaller boards will do as good a job as large ones.
3. RADIO: In separate surveys in two different markets a year ago we found that radio out-pulled TV when compared by actual dollars spent and the survey was conducted during campaigns in established markets where the TV budget ran about three to one ahead of radio money. In rationalizing the comparison we finally deducted that people who came to the rodeo because they heard the radio
spots where people who were out on the move, listening to the radio in their cars, rather than sitting at home watching TV.
4. TV: In our opinion this media is often vastly over-
rated as a sales tool for entertainment events, but it is a necessary media! We believe that unless you can afford to buy a 15 to 30 spot saturation package per day with
10 second spots, that the money can better be spent with 30 and 60 second spots placed in specific times. It often will take this amount of time to get attention and get the message across.
5. POSTERS, BUS SIGNS and OTHER PAPERING: Seldom will a customer say on a survey that he attended the rodeo because he saw a poster, but posters add color,
flavor and just plain atmosphere to acampaign. They can do an excellent job at the local feed store, the barber shop or, in smaller towns, appearing in every shop window.
Bus signs are good in some markets and in avery large metropolitan area they can often replace billboards at a lot less money.
Papering the town and countryside is something circuses really used to use and a media that some of us ought to give more consideration. Problem here is that there are very few people left who will or are able to handle the job well and, local ordinances often outlaw it.
6. DIRECT MAIL: Direct mail is fine, if you have an established customer list, but a blanket mailing of all postal patrons in all but rural markets is something we feel is a waste of money.
7. BILLING STUFFERS: In some areas billing stuffers will do an excellent job in generating mail orders, particularly if you can offer some kind of a discount. They also carry extra punch if, for example, you are honoring BANKAMERICARD and your stuffing appears in the monthly BANKAMERICARD billing.
Timing--In all cases timing is as important to you as it is to Sears in selling cloth gloves. Spend your advertising dollars at tlié right time and QUADRUPLE their effectiveness. Examples:
1. NEWSPAPERS: The first advertising dollars you spend should appear in the daily newspapers five to eight
1973 Cavalcade of Acts &Attractions

weeks ahead of the event ON A SUNDAY. Remember, on Sunday, the daily newspaper is the "local" newspaper in many, many communities where the local paper does not publish on Sunday.
We feel that weekly area papers deserve only a small portion of the total newspaper budget, generally beginning
no earlier than three weeks ahead of the event. 2. BILLBOARDS: Once a billboard is up it does not
change (unless you arrange for a snipe the week of the event that says "NOW") and repetition can wipe the billboard's message from the eyes of would-be customers. We never run a billboard campaign longer than 30 days and, whenever possible, we'll buy it for only two weeks. We do the same with bus signs.
3. RADIO and TV: Both are a "Do It Now" media. If they were not, you would find the local shoe store advertising, "Watch for our special shoe sale next month." Therefore, we attempt to saturate both media the week of the event, but will often pickup the preceding weekend, too. If you have done your homework ana have been able
to tie stations into your event with ticket promos, etc., you can arrange for their promotions to end the week preceding the event and retain continuity of the entire campaign.
4. POSTERS and PAPERING: Same theory as billboards and buses. Posters, in particular are never placed more than three weeks ahead of the event and usually go out two weeks ahead.
5. DIRECT MAIL and BILLING STUFFERS: Mail to regular customers should never go out less than 30 days preceding the event and billing stuffers (today, most billing is handled during a 30 day cycle) should never begin less than 45 days ahead of the event so the final stuffers arrive in the home no later than 15 days ahead. It is even better to begin earlier than 45 days ahead as many people do not

open their bills until a certain day of the month when
they intend to pay them. Publicity Makes It Go--No matter how carefully you
have set your budget; no matter how carefully you have scheduled the timing of every ad, if you have not done the
legwork in arranging for publicity (the free news and feature stories in newspapers and on radio and TV) the
whole project is going to sink. Publicity gets the attention of persons who are not really shopping for an entertain-
ment event. Timing with publicity is also important and, naturally,
anything that runs during the week of the event is going to do the most good.
Certainly, there should be some advance stories to start building interest, but, again, we feel that the real sales must be made nearly at performance time.
Newspapers Most Important--It is our opinion that if
you are not COVERED in the daily newspaper you might just as well fold up shop and go home. Newspapers sell and they sell in nine out of 10 homes in every city. Printed stories are preserved. Everyone in the family can see and read them. Radio and TV interviews will sell, but they are here and gone. If a potential customer does not hear the interview, no one is going to be able to show it to him at a later time.
In Summary--Our idea of setting a promotion budget is not merely going through the motions of allocating amounts of advertising dollars for a particular market.
Budgeting includes putting the right amount of money in the right place AT THE RIGHT TIME.
It also .includes a talent to sell other businesses on the idea of tying in their advertising dollars to OUR campaign.
And, then finally, it means coordinating a publicity campaign that will compliment our advertising dollars and merchandising tie-ins.

Co-Promotion: The Art of
Putting Your Radio Station
to work for You
BY BERT BOGASH
CONCERT PROMOTION has become a profession in
its own right; and a complex one at that. Audiences are more aware and selective as there has become an abundance of talent on the road. Times have changed dramatically in the past decade when radio plugs were literally cheaper than a dime a dozen.
"Back in the old days," one old timer was overheard to say, "my band and I used to play on the radio for free. See, the station had its own in-house booking agency and between each tune during our live broadcast, we used to announce our upcoming dates. It was a good deal for the radio station because not only did they get an agent's fee, but they also got a percentage of our concert gate. But it was also a good deal for us since we could get the word out over the radio. The announcements plus a few posters would most times draw a nice crowd."
"As time went on," he added, "a lot of us musicians became disc jockeys as radio changed gradually from mostly live to recorded programming. But there was still amarket for live shows in the local high school or meeting hall. So we promoted them. Most of our advertising was free as we plugged the concerts on our own shows."
Today, however, it's not so easy. With strict regulations placed on radio programming by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), free on-the-air plugs for concerts have been virtually eliminated.
Radio, however, is still acknowledged to be a major part of a promoter's advertising budget. Aside from just plain announcing the concert particulars, a good radio spot will serve to convey excitement by the use of certain choice adjectives in the copy and more important, the tone of the announcer's voice.
13

According to veteran radio programmer and concert promoter, Joe Sullivan, president of Sound Seventy Productions, "a co-promotion with the top station in town to me is the most desirable arrangement for radio advertising."
Co-promotion--When approaching station management on a co-promotion, Sullivan asks for a 30-second spot every hour, 24 hours a day for about three weeks prior
to the show. He will offer a flat fee for the service which will be substantially discounted from the normal rates. In return for this consideration, he will offer to include the station's name on tickets and all advertising and limit all radio spots exclusively to that station. Additionally, he will offer to present the stations' disc jockeys during the show and will give the station tickets to give away on the air.
"Many stations are leery of co-promotions," Sullivan says, "because of possible FCC interference but those who are aware of actual FCC logging regulations can still effectively utilize a co-promotion to their benefit. A copromotion has the value of picking up fans for the station
because most of the public identifies the concert with
the station and believes the station is actually, itself, staging the event."
"When I was with WMAK," he noted, "we kept files of hundreds of letters received from people of all ages who identified us with all concerts in Nashville and asked for concert information, thanked us for bringing in a group or asked us to bring one in. And that's not counting
the vast number of phone calls. We felt we kept a lot of listeners through our co-promotions."
"When doing co-promotion," he added, "it's important to make the station feel like it is presenting the show. Make all personnel aware of all facts; send the girl who answers the station's phones a concert fact sheet so she can quickly and easily answer callers' questions regarding the date. With this kind of total involvement, the station will work that much harder to insure the date's success."
Sullivan further outlined general procedures for placing radio advertising for concerts.
"The spots should be exciting and ideally pre-recorded and should include excerpts by the artist to indicate the excitement in store for the concert-goer. An important thing to remember is that all ticket locations should be
listed at the tag end of the spot. If there are too many to list in the time alloted, list a few on one spot and the rest on another."
"Also important is the fact that the promoter needs to reach as many listeners as possible with his spots so (in the event there is no co-promotion or more than one station is being used) the spots should be scattered throughout different time periods in order to reach a maximum number of listeners during the two to four weeks running. Note that the times for the spots on both stations should be as close together as possible to avoid audience duplication."
"Most radio stations sell spots on an x number of spots per week basis with price breaks at six, 12, 18 and more. You will generally be able to mix 30 and 60 second spots
along with those in various categories of programming time to qualify for the price reduction. In other words, a promoter does not have to buy six, 12 or 18 prime time spots to get the lower rate. Additionally," Sullivan added, "I don't like to place all my spots in prime time but use other time slots as well, thus insuring greater exposure.
"As far as spreading the radio spot budget, I like to advertise for three weeks prior to the show and spread my budget evenly for each week," Sullivan said.
"One more caution," he added, "Do not start radio or any other advertising until the t'ckets are on sale--it avoids a great deal of trouble."

BY HAL COPELAND

Perhaps the initial steps should be taken with your

annual calendar of events. Most educational institutions

have annual events that are placed on the calendar

many months in advance. Events such as Homecoming,

Founder's Day, annual awards and anniversaries should

be noted on your personal band calendar as possible themes

for halftime shows.

The same should be done when the complete football

and/or basketball game schedules for the year become

available. Dates of home games--or when halftime shows

will be needed--should be marked immediately, and their

number noted to give a definite idea of how many times

your creative juices will need to be brought to fore.

If time is available or your memory and record-keeping

is above average, an invaluable list to have (and to main-

tain annually) would show the theme ideas of all halftime

shows you have produced in the past. Such a record, at

least for a four-year period, enables you to avoid repeti-

tive shows, using the same worn-out themes and the same

expected music and show tunes. A simple notation of a

few basic facts is all that's needed and would take little

time to maintain, once the initial notations have been

accomplished.

available, as often as possible, either in the marching pattern or in the finale, to end the show on an unexpected note. While Halloween and Thanksgiving roll around every year, it is not particularly unusual to continuously use the "Pilgrim Forefathers" theme. While the underlying idea might be EXACTLY the same, how the theme is emphasized and prepared for the public address system announcer will make all the difference.
If, as musicians, band directors would place themselves in the spectator's seat and think how they would feel in similar circumstances--like being fed a continuous diet of Rachmaninoff or Brahms--the probability of improved halftime fare would be great!
At the same time, showmanship of the performance should be considered. While precision marching is difficult and is a feat to admire, it does get old game after game,
and audiences ARE very fickle. If some "pizzazz" is added along with the music and precision diagrams, your reputation cannot help but rise, along with the ratings for the band's halftime performances.
Showmanship is nothing more than a bit of added bravado, and it is not difficult, once the knack is acquired. It's just a matter of "hamming it up" occasionally, with a touch of humor added, and it's a proved fact that audiences love it!
Your best theme idea might begin with a song title, a prop (such as a trampoline), a forthcoming holiday or other milestone, or a formation (such as an umbrella).
Consider all the elements that might complement, rather than complicate your halftime show. The most complex formation expertly charted and perfectly executed, can go for naught, if the audience can't remember the basic idea of the show.
Five or six--or even 15 or 16--shows a year should not he difficult to engineer into entertaining 10-minute

performances. Often it's helpful to have a friend or associate sit down to brainstorm possibilities with you. After the halftime schedule is set, it is easy enough to adapt the themes and programs for other uses as well. Parades, school assemblies, band programs or special presentations and concerts often can work within the same given range as a halftime show, with additions and deletions as necessary. After all, the objectives are the same--entertainment!
Remember, as you set the programs for the year, that while you are doing a job that perhaps is routine to you, you are primarily COMMUNICATING! You are communicating your enthusiasm for music--to your musicians and the school as a whole, as well as to the football audience, which generally covers the entire spectrum of the community.
"Communications cannot stop with the classroom," says Daniel Grace, Jr., band director and public relations chairman of the Colorado Music Educators Association. "The community must be made to see the integral part that music plays in its own life, as well as its children."
Your artistic endeavors and creative persuasiveness as a band director and musical leader are displayed each week on the football field and, unfortunately, are often totally judged by what is shown there. By the planning and production of superior halftime shows, full of entertainment value and musical skills, your efforts will reach and communicate with an even larger audience than could be accomplished in the purest of musical settings.
In summary, five of the best rules for planning and producing halftime shows are these:
I. Consider "entertainment value" first; 2. Allocate plenty of time for preparation; 3. Create and maintain "enthusiasm" with variety; 4. Consider other applications for your halftime ideas; 5. Communicate with showmanship--but keep it simple.

Con'td. from page 6

lassoing a cluster of name talent to play fairs. FAIR'S ENHANCEMENT. Stacy, whose firm services some 100 fairs annually, has an on-going interest in the fair market. The big agency has a continuing role to play since it is through the process of growth that fairs can command bigger and bigger talent buys.
"No fair can stay the same, without
progress, it folds," he said, adding, "much work goes into a fair to improve it."
Higgins makes much the same point in noting the passing of the chorus line and sight acts as the staple of the grandstand show. But the process of change isn't always easy for a fair, especially when limited by a small number of grandstand seats.
"If you can't afford a $10,000 act because of only 2,500 seats in the grandstand, then put two shows on in place
of one and thereby double the seating capacity," Higgins said, adding that he
pioneered the concept. Epstein also agrees that no fair should
rule itself out as too small in attempting to capture name talent for its grandstand
show. "Small fairs should try anyway, be-
cause the potential may be there," he said. ADVICE. Stacy, who admits that his
talent recommendations to fair managers are in the ratio of 10 to one, cites the limited availability of big stars as a major factor in determining the talent
a fair buys. In this instance, the role of the big
agency is especially clear. As Stacy points
out, the big agency is armed with the knowledge of an act's total commitments. An act's work profile is part of the big agency's stockpiled information.
Epstein similarly notes that a fair manager may not know an act as well as the agency does, but he maintains
that the ratio of his recommendations to fairs is no more than 50-50.
"We don't try to dictate. The fair managers are totally knowledgeable," he said, qualifying as to the particular de-
tails of an act. Higgins, whose agency services about
35 fairs annually, believes in packaging talent for the fair market, putting together bills to fill the entire needs for
a grandstand show. BUDGETS. Aside from availabilities, the budget is the next factor determining whether a big name talent will play
a fair. Stacy maintains that no one can get
a big name talent to work for less than the big agency. He warns fair
managers not to fall for the line that "I can get it for you cheaper!" "Not

"I GIVE A DAMN"
"Listen, I've been through this traveling-act business since I was a kid. All my life. So I really give a damn!"
The agency has refused to handle
many acts rather than risk a bad experience. And it books many others whose track records have been less than perfect, because Bette and Charley (Cappie) Kaye figure they can handle the situation.
The performer who can't get into a building or onto the fairgrounds for lack of proper groundwork can develop an antagonism before he reaches the stage. It cannot help but affect his show, the explanation goes. "Hassling" an act before he gets onstage has got to affect the way he works, because performers are human beings.

male stars it can be flowers as well.

"It's not a black and white case, there are exceptions to the rule," he said.
When an agent becomes a producer, then Higgins is willing to work with the smaller agent.
Among the examples he cites are Ward Bean, who produces the grandstand shows for the New York State Fair and the York Fair, and Jack Lindahl.
Stacy also recognizes that it is okay to work with a handpicked few small agents with whom he can engage in talent buys because they are either on retainer from a fair or are able to block book thereby cutting into the price of an act, in which cases the small agent's talent buys can be on a par with the big agency's price structure.
Epstein will also deal with the small agent or agency if they represent the fair. SPIRAL STAIRCASE. The bigger the previous year's grandstand show grosses, the more likely the talent budget for the year following will be increased. The

bigger the talent budget, the greater
the ability of a fair to command performances by show business' biggest names. So most fairs reach the stars through a spiral staircase built on bigger and bigger grosses leading to greater and greater talent budgets.
ON THE MARKET. Stacy's biggest stars for the fair summer of '73 line up Engelbert Humperdinck, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, The Fifth Dimension, The Osmonds, Bob Hope, and the debut of
All In The Family's Carroll O'Connor. Johnny Mann's Stand Up and Cheer
will be making its fair bow in the summer of '73.
CMA's talent list for the 1973 fair
market also includes The Carpenters, Liza Minelli, Eddy Arnold, Roberta
Flack, Paul Anka, Burt Bacharach, Al Hirt, George Gobel, Norm Crosby, George Kirby, Boots Randolph, Lynn Anderson, Jerry Vale, the King Family, and Frankie Laine, among over 110 acts.
At IFA, Higgins lists Glen Campbell, Roy Clark, Buck Owens, Brenda Lee, Ferlin Husky, the Sound of the Glen Miller Band with Tex Beneke, the Modernaires, and Ray Eberle as among

the top-drawers for the summer of '73.

IFA is also bowing three separate

shows with Sergio Mendes & Brazil '77,

Jose Feliciano, and Henry Mancini.

Another fair debut is being set with

Buffalo Bob Smith's Howdy Doody

Show. Higgins predicts a twist on the usual kid attraction, where the children

drag along their parents to see a show.

He predicts that the parents will be

bringing the kids to view this attraction.

In addition, Higgins is developing

revue-type shows with hosts Ed Mc-

Mahon and David Frost commandeering

separate vehicles. As part of his creative

programming concept, Higgins intends

to populate the revues with name talent,

such as impersonators Frank Gorshin

and Rich Little, and a strong male or

female singer.

Citing last year's fair performers, Ep-

stein's William Morris list included David

Cassidy, James Gang, Bobby Goldsboro,

Anne Murray, Sonny & Cher, Wayne Newton, Carol Channing, Bill Cosby,

David Frye, Dionne Warwicke, Bobby

Vinton, Jerry Reed, Bobby Darin, Burl

Ives, Jerry Van Dyke, and the Goose

Creek Symphony.

three times that, it wouldn't change a thing about how I feel about the busi-
ness.
Where did it all begin?
Bette Kaye was a kid in vaudeville, traveled as an aerialist with the Flying Waltons, and eventually married Charles Kaye. An Air Force pilot, he took his show business wife with him as he was reassigned, and her outspokenness drew a "put up or shut up" comment back
in 1948 at a club in Weisbaden, Germany.
"Oh my God, that looks terrible," she said, and Colonel Ireland, A.F. Chief of Special Services, heard her from the next table. He supposed she could do
better? "My God, yes," said Bette. Okay, be in his office the next morning.
"I don't have to, I'm a civilian. ..." (She recalls, "Cappie nearly broke my ankle under the table when Isaid that.")
The meeting took place and two months later Bette Kaye productions
opened in Weisbaden, in a territory riddled with non-bonded suitcase promoters. There were acts short-changed and
stranded--a mess, she says. She was the first licensed American agent in Europe, licensed by the U.S. High Commissioner. Before long she was booking all Allied acts in Germany, and her counterpart Giselle Gunther booked the German acts. They still retain a working relationship, 24 years later.
Prior to the confrontation with Colo-
nel Ireland she worked commercially, vocalizing, as a comedienne, mistress of ceremonies, etc. She reads, writes and converses in French and German--and when Kaye was assigned to Japan she
taught herself to sing and speak in Japanese, as well.
During the ensuing years the inde-
pendent agency/producer's viewpoint was practiced at every oppor tunity. Communication with sellers, buyers, per-
26

formers, equipment people, etc. Borrowing a phrase from financial institutions calling themselves "Total Service Banks," the operation considers itself a "Total Service Agency."
FEE SPLITTING Most of the knives thrown at smaller agencies by the big ones can be fended off by an energetic and loquacious booker like Mrs. Charles Kaye. One of these is, "it costs more" for an independent to produce a show. This involves fee-splitting--or the lack of it. "Fee splitting is magnificent," Bette says. "It's common on the Country scene but some of the major agencies refuse to do it. Commissions are a maximum, on an AFM act, of 15 per cent. Many agencies will let the independent have 5-10 per cent of that, for doing all the work." She gets intense: "Now, follow what I am saying. There isn't an artist alive who would like to hear that his agent was so hungry that he won't either split a
commission, or pay a portion of the commissions due, to the man who gets the work.
"I heard a major agent say (in Nashville), 'If you do business with independent promoters it costs you 10 per cent more.' This is because they don't split commissions with independents, so a

service fee has to be added on top. This is a blister in our business.
"The independent promoter has acontinuous battle to control prices. There are thousands of us all over the U.S. and we all face that same problem. If the fee isn't compromised, that means the job price has to go up, and sometimes the buyer won't go for the price. So the act loses work. ..."
Cappie Kaye, president of Kaye Productions, has special responsibilities, stemming from his training for years in
stagecrafts. An accredited stagehand, he worked many big shows and now specializes in the nuts and bolts of production. Staging, light and sound are checked out in advance and the proper adjustments made to insure a good show. If there is an area where a fair doesn't have its own sound man, he locates the proper equipment available for 'rent. A Kaye -ontract carries plot requirements, and a section that says the fair will supply
proper--not adequate--staging. Supporting this is the act's own rider.
"In Nashville one of the big agents/ managers wives asked me, 'Do you cover your shows. Why, you must be on the road all the time.'
"Well, we are on the road all the time because we do cover our shows.
"We sell service. ..." by IRWIN KIRBY

The Great Allentown Fair:
ALESSON IN PROMOTION

When some people think of Allentown (Pa.) they think of it as the home of Mack Trucks.
Macks are big, all right, but many people connects Allentown with something as big as a Mack truc in its own right--the Allentown Fair.
Most everybody in Pennsylvania has been to the Fair at one time or another and most have gone back again. That's where you can see all the big names, such as Lawrence Welk, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdinck, or you name it.
One of the main reasons for the fair's incredible success has been its manager, Edward G. Leidig, called by many, "Mr. Fair".
Since 1955, when he was named treasurer of the Lehigh County Agricultural Society (managers of the Fair), Leidig has brought many progressive innovations to the county fair concept. One of his first moves was to institute an effective revenue control system for all sources of revenue, including parking lot fees, general and grandstand tickets, sideshow admissions, etc. The institution of this checking system brought about immediate improvement in the total revenue that the Allentown Fair received in 1956. And under Leidig's guidance, gross revenue also began to improve. Today, Leidig is undisputed as the main force behind Pennsylvania's largest fair. In fact, he is recognized as a leading authority throughout the United States and Canada on the successful promotion and operation of fairs.
In addition to instituting and continually improving the most modern revenue control systems, there are some other ideas Leidig has used with great success to promote the Allentown Fair.
Although the Allentown Fair does not officially open until the first week in August. each March the Fair's publicity department starts to issue press releases to every city and town newspaper in the
1973 Cavalcade of Acts &Attractions

area, including photographs if available, announcing what the main attractions is, the dates of the Fair, and other pertinent data. This publicity is increased right through the actual dates of the Fair and into the weeks following. While the Fair is in progress, a comfortable press
room is set up, providing reporters from all media, plus VIPs, with an excellent
view of the grandstand shows. Free refreshments are also available. Press kits, including photographs and publicity releases, are given to every reporter who
checks in with the press room. During the Fair, interviews with the top name
talent, sideshows, Fair management and visiting dignitaries are arranged. Rarely is any member of the press, radio or tele-
vision denied an interview. This, of course, makes for excellent press rela-
tions. At the same time the publicity begins,
an extensive direct mail campaign is begun, sending Fair brochures to travel
agents throughout the eastern United States. This mailing is followed up by telephone calls directly to those travel agencies active in charter bus tours. The
results of this single promotion are that over 400 charter buses attended last
year's Fair, accounting for 32,000 admissions.
Leidig has made a constant effort to give every attendee at the Allentown Fair the very best of everything. Grandstand
entertainment each afternoon includes a three-ring circus, including high wire
acts, wild animals and elephants; hell
drivers, demolition derbies or harness racing. Each evening, the two grand-
stand extravaganzas have featured such top talent as Tom Jones, Humperdinck, Andy Williams, Tennessee Ernie Ford,
Eddy Arnold, The 5th Dimension, The Osmonds and The Carpenters ...just to
name a few. Working closely with Eldred Stacy of
Creative Management Associates, Leidig and his executive board invariably select

talent with a hit record or top television show going for them just before the Fair opens. This uncanny ability is the envy of many, but it is the absolute delight of all those who attend the Allentown Fair. Many artists, such as Johnny Cash and
The 5th Dimension, have appeared at the Fair two or three years in a row. Yet, at each performance, the attendance still remains as high, if not higher. than the
previous year. As attendance grows at the Allentown
Fair (it's now over 700,000), so does the diversity of amusements, entertainment and exhibitions. The afternoon circus gets larger each year. There are more days of harness racing. The number of entries and cash awards for agricultural, horticultural, livestock and home craft exhibits increases. Special midway attractions this year included the Apollo XVI which won the 1972 Brussers Award for "The Greatest Ride in the World." The original "Godfather" movie cars were on display, including "Sonny's" shot-up and bloody Lincoln Continental. Hank Meadows, a highly entertaining midwestern TV chef, gave free culinary exhibitions twice daily. And, of course, Gooding's Million Dollar Midway and sideshows added to the glitter, which is topped off with a gigantic dual ferris
wheel! Great encouragement is given to ex-
hibitors of agricultural, horticultural, livestock and home crafts by keeping the entry fees at an absolute minimum and providing a 20-page premium list which is inserted in the Sunday edition of the largest newspaper in the Allentown area. In addition, astaff of over 30 volunteers, all members of the Lehigh County Agricultural Society, contact all the entrants from the previous year.
The rewards for this extra effort are many ...the tradition of the county fair is maintained, the incentive for improvement is also maintained for cattle

breeding organizations, craftsmen, 4-H clubs and granges, Future Farmers of America, etc., and fairgoers get an opportunity to see the best crops, the finest livestock and the highly unusual contributions from home craftsmen. The Fair itself garners additional attendees and revenue not only from the viewers of the exhibits, but from the thousands of exhibitors themselves.
There is also a very unusual area known as the Farmerama. Here, free shows are given daily by barbershop quartets, folk dancing groups and Pennsylvania Dutch and country-western bands. This, too, serves the Fair in many ways. It provides free entertainment for the elderly and Pennsylvania German Fairgoers and by doing so, encourages their attendance and their dollars on to the grounds.
To promote the Allentown Fair, Leidig employs practically every form of advertising media. This extensive campaign publicizes the Fair well in advance of the August opening. To complement the publicity department's efforts, mentioned earlier, the Fair utilizes newspaper, radio, billboard, magazine and television advertising.
Newspaper advertising begins with large ads giving a complete rundown of the events that are to take place during the nine days and 10 nights of the Allentown Fair. The next phase of newspaper advertising is smaller block ads stating, "NOTICE," and then giving a listing of the seats and prices still available for the various afternoon and evening grandstand shows. Newpaper ads are placed heavily in the Allentown and Philadelphia papers. In addition, over 40 other daily and weekly periodicals carry a somewhat lighter schedule of Allentown Fair ads.
Radio advertising is used sparingly, hut nearly every regional and local station within a 100-mile radius of the Fair
44

carries spot announcements. These commercials are generally 60-seconds in length and simply tout the names of the evening grandstand performers, the dates of the Fair and a telephone number to call for additional information.
Billboard advertising utilizes 30-sheet posters in prime locations surrounding Allentown, Bethlehem and the suburbs of Philadelphia. The billboard design shows the names of the performers who will appear in the evening, the dates of each show and the overall dates of the Fair itself. Although billboard advertising within Philadelphia can be very costly, the Fair has discovered an economical and effective way to promote the Fair to the Philadelphia public. This media is taxicab roof cards. Utlizing the same design, reduced in size, that appears on the billboards, these taxi cards are visible 24-hours aday since they are lit with "black light". The black light effect is obtained by using an ultraviolet lamp and a special ink which brilliantly reflects ultraviolet light.
Specialty magazines that are distributed via hotel lobbies and restaurants to the tourist trade carry large ads giving all details about the Fair. In many cases, these magazines will also run a feature story about the Fair.
Since Allentown receives all Philadelphia television stations and a large percentage of Allentown Fair attendees are from the greater Philadelphia area, Philadelphia television has proved to be a most effective advertising medium. Time spots are carefully selected to insure exposure of the Fair's message to an audience which is most interested in seeing
the grandstand shows. These commercials are only 10-seconds and 30-seconds in length.
The 10-second spots simply mention the name of the Fair, show a picture of
one of the evening acts, the dates of that show and close with a telephone number

to call for further information. The 30second commercial shows one photo of each of the four evening performers and again closes with a telephone number to call for information. Many of this year's commercials ran during prime time. During this time, the Fair's office is closed but to insure getting all phone messages, Leidig decided to use a telephone answering service. As it turned out, this was a very wise move on his part since many late night TV viewers called the Fair seeking additional information.
Anyone who is deeply involved in putting together a fair well knows, it's all the people behind the scenes who make any fair tick. Backed by a highly competent office staff and an experienced ground crew, the Allentown Fair functions with the precision of a well-oiled machine. If it were not for these yearround personnel keeping the grounds and the books in order, the Allentown Fair would fail to exist.
However, year after year, the momen-
tum builds, reaching a crescendo with opening night in early August. This is the night when admission to the grounds is free. Generally, a circus, harness racing, high school band concert or topnotch entertainment is provided free in the grandstand.
The Fairgoers love this opportunity to get onto the grounds for free and, of course, it serves to whet the appetite of these Fairgoers.
Leidig was elected, in 1957, president of the Lehigh County Agricultural Society and general manager of the Allentown Fair and, in 1965, president of the International Association of Fairs and Expositions. In 1967, he was enshrined
in the Hall of Fame of the International Association of Fairs and Expositions. Currently, Leidig presides over the Pennsylvania State Association of County Fairs which is busy preparing the statewide bicentennial celebrations which will be held in 1976.

GOSPEL MUSIC

GOSPEL MUSIC is gaining in popularity as enter-
tainment and can now be heard at major fairs, on college campuses and in big city auditoriums and arenas.
Yes, the smalltown Gospel sing featuring all the local quartets are still the big thing in some of the smaller communities and the all-night sings are still going strong, too. The tiny town of Alexandria, Tenn., has an all-day and night gospel sing every summer and its popularity grows each year. But the music is catching on in the unlikely areas mentioned above, as well.
Bookings at fairs have doubled and tripled for such groups as the Speer Family, Oak Ridge Boys, Thrasher Brothers, The Statesmen, The Prophets and the Blackwood Singers.
Groups such as the Oak Ridge Boys have been appearing on non-gospel package shows with artists such as Johnny Cash and Pat Boone. The Blackwood Singers appeared twice this year at Knott's Berry Farm, Buena Park, Calif., which previously offered only Country and Pop Music Shows.
Groups such as J. D. Sumner and The Stamps and earlier, The Imperials, backed Elvis Presley on road tours and in Las Vegas.
Gospel songs are also being sung more and more by country and pop artists.
An example is the old standard, "Love Lifted Me", commonly found in church hymnals, and sung by millions since 1912.
The song, owned by the John T. Benson Company, was recorded last year by Ray Stevens and catapulted into the Top 40 charts. It was considered ahit by any standard.
Other examples are such songs as, "He's Got the
64

Whole World in His Hands", "Amazing Grace", "Turn Your Radio On", and "Put Your Hand in the Hand of the Man From Galilee".
Some may have never heard of Albert Brumley. But most have heard some of the music of this Powell, Mo. native who was elected to the Gospel Music Hall of Fame last summer. He has composed more than 500 songs, including, "I'll Fly Away". Amazingly, this song has been recorded by 89 different artists or groups.
Among them are such luminaries as Pat Boone, Andy Griffith, Billy Walker, Ray Stevens, Charley Pride, Bonnie Owens, Jerry Lee Lewis, Floyd Cramer, Porter Wagoner, Jimmy Dean, Bobby Bare, Ferlin Husky, Charley Walker, Jean Shepard, Webb Pierce, Roy
Acuff, Red Foley, Jim keeves, the Ray Charles Singers,
Chet Atkins and the Boston Pops Orchestra.
Not bad for aGospel song!
The Gospel audience was broadened considerably only afew years ago with the addition of instrumentation and new sounds that resulted in a direct appeal to the youth. Also, the writers of straight country and pop material have begun to see the economic opportunities in writing songs of Gospel.
One more influence should be mentioned is the ecumenical movement which has brought the sounds of Gospel music into non-protestant churches. Where gospel had been associated primarily with Southern Protestant churches in the past, today all denominations find themselves singing popular Gospel songs on Sunday.
But you don't have to wait until Sunday to hear the sounds of gospel. As the song says, just "Turn Your Radio On."

"When you stop trying to be better,

you give up the right to be best"
The late Floyd E. Gooding had asimple business philosophy: make each season's operation better than the season before. As we enter our 75th year of business, we pledge ourselves anew to those standards which have made Gooding the foremost outdoor amusement company in America today. But that isn't the end of the story. For all of us at Gooding ...staff and employees alike ...are looking confidently to the future and its challenge with a keen sense of dedication: to maintain and where possible improve the wholesome reputation that has made Gooding preeminent in its field ...and to make each season better than the one before.

Be careful with contracts, for 'the piper must be paid,' says show attorney

By SAMUEL MOONBLATT
Berk, Masino, Moonblatt & McDougall
ON becoming a lawyer in 1937, and never having been to a circus, fair, carnival or amusement park, I never dreamed that I would, for the next 35 years, spend a considerable portion of my time associated in that type business-- professionally, socially, and as a principal. Ihadn't met John Quinn yet, nor had Ibecome aware that people can be totally influenced by the strength of the personalities of men such as John Quinn.
Ihad managed to go through all my schooling by driving a cab, being a milkman, a parking lot jockey, a janitor and a
mortician, a magazine salesman, and a few other things, exposing me to the public. I had always considered myself as my own man and nothing was going to deter me from my objective. So in my first year of practice, one of my clients was John Quinn, and from that point on, Idid anything and everything at his beck and call. Fortunately, he was also one of the most honorable, gracious, and high-minded persons that Ihave ever met. Together until his death, we worked to
establish an outdoor amusement business in Philadelphia. Fortunately, we also had Jack Essner, on whose knowledge and experience we leaned heavily in order to accomplish the kind of business that would perpetuate itself in the Philadelphia area as it has for the past 35 years.
Quite naturally, these contacts also fed my law business, all of which turned profitable; but as we began, we quickly learned that the name of the game was profit. The kind of profit to be made was more important than the amount of profit. Our main principle was to take a short profit but come back every year. This meant that we had to operate under contracts with committees and owners that would assure our profit and corresponding benefits to the committees.
It was my duty, therefore, to prepare the type of contract that would help accomplish this purpose.
In those days, there was no real shortage of lots, the shopping center industry was just beginning, and there were hardly any carnivals that came to Philadelphia because of the restrictive ordinances for licensing and operation, as well as our Blue Laws.
One might ponder why the contract is so important an element of the business. It must be recognized that contracts can be "oral" as well as "written," and can be "implied" as well as "expressed." My first experience came about when we wanted to put in amusement devices and concessions in and around Eleventh and Erie, and "G" and Erie during the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus appearance at these sites. We went out and leased practically all the surrounding space for that period of time. In order to do so, we had to have written leases or agreements with the property owners. You could buy all the lease forms wanted, which
would legally give you the right to the use of the property, pay your money and get the signature.
There was no question that the people wanted your money, but there was a considerable reservation by them because they were not at all certain of what they were getting into. Therefore, a printed form wouldn't do the job. Any complicated form that Icould draw up would be evidence of my skill as a

lawyer, but would not be readily acceptable by the landowners
who, in the first instance, viewed the entire situation with suspicion.
Simple form is hest
Believe it or not, it is hard to convince people that they are going to get money from doing nothing accept letting them use their ground for carnival equipment and concessions. The three of us decided that Ishould draw up a very simple form that would protect everybody. The form, in simple, nonlawyerlike language, described the property, how much we were paying for it, for what period of time, the purpose, gave
the user an exclusive and obligated him to indemnify and insure the owner, and guaranteed we would clean up and restore the property.
We had no magic words and no clauses that were ambiguous, or that would give either side an "out." As a result,
we were able to operate in these locations for years in conjunction with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus; and, as a personal benefit, it didn't take long before I began to represent Ringling in and around the city of Philadelphia. This was when the circus toured under canvas.
Being a local lawyer and active in the courts and the city government, naturally helped. My clients and associates of necessity needed someone to solve zoning, licensing, police, and other government agency problems, all of which were restrictive and a hang-over from past years' operations and experiences with carnivals.
Irecall one year when the circus was unable to get their licenses because one of the most powerful judges in the county decided to block it for his own personal reasons. The existence of satisfactory contracts, fully expressing the operation and documenting the interests of all parties, was a vital factor in overriding these objections. Therefore, it is essential
that a clear, written contract be in existence long before the date to operate.
In Philadelphia, we were able to demonstrate to all governmental agencies and to the public that the principal beneficiaries of any of our activities was the sponsor. The contract fully expressed the kind of activity that would be engaged in.
· For instance, in a circus, we expressly stated that there would be a Menagerie, a Side Show and big top, and positively prohibited Girl Shows and any gambling activity.
· In the carnival contract, we spelled out the kind of games that would be conducted, we accepted responsibility,
and we expressly stated the interests of all parties involved. With this type of contract, Iwas able to face the District
Attorney, the City Solicitor, the Police, and all Licensing Agencies--and come out with what Isought.
What then was this contract that had these magic features?' In the first place, we eliminated legal phraseology such as: licensor and licensee ...lessor and lessee ...party of the first part ... and any phrases that were subject to ambiguous interpretation or any confusion. Thereafter, essentially is placed all of the responsibility for compliance with the law as to liability insurance, workmen's compensation, damage and clean-
ing of the lot, and operation within the requirements of the law as to games of skill, squarely on the shoulders of the carnival or circus.

CONTRACTS..
· Continued from page 7
operations fail to keep their contracts. Carnival companies should keep in mind that in a court room they are the low man, since they are not from the same jurisdiction as the committee. They are at a disadvantage. I have had multimillion-dollar companies tied up by attachments as part of a suit on many occasions. The attachment can be lifted and the matter proceed as an ordinary lawsuit, but at considerable expense for bonds and fees as well as time and effort uselessly expended.
Therefore, if a contract is clear, simple, and not ambiguous, it becomes considerably easier for the carnival company to obtain justice in court. Dissatisfied committees are never to be desired as a matter of good business. But if such a committee decides to take their real or imagined complaints to court, then it becomes even more burdensome.
Ihave consistently found that general agents exceed their authority when negotiating for dates. They are generally concerned with only the booking and routing of the show. A general clause limiting liability or warranting only those things expressed in the written contract is psychologically helpful, but of little or no use in the courtroom. Usually the law takes the printed form contract prepared by the amusement company to be a contract of adhesion, and at the very least, to be constructed strictly against the company who prepared it.
Don't use printed form
Therefore, let the sponsor or owner prepare the contract and don't use a printed form if they are willing or ask to do it. Again, keep it simple and plain. Usually, a committee or ownership lawyer will try to be impressive with many warranty clauses as well as form clauses such as confession of judgements and amicable action clauses. These are meaningless in the final analysis--and if they are insisted upon, should not be resisted.
In the final analysis, the amusement company should not give any cause for complaint. If it creates damage or fails to perform its obligations simply because it is leaving town until next year or more, it will be back or some other carnival company will try to come in and then the "piper" must be paid. However, often the complaint is not justified or only partially so, because reasonable men can differ. Here, of course, we must wind up in court. The amusement company is in much better position with a clear, simple contract, even more so, if the sponsor or owner prepared it.
I have always felt that the formal contract was simply an assurance to the amusement company that it had a date and to the committee or owner an assurance that the amusements would appear on a certain date. Aside from its usefulness to strengthen the respectability and purpose of the event as it may appear to be necessary, with regard to the attitudes of third parties, such as governmental agencies, the importance of the contract diminishes or increases in direct relationship with the behavior and performance of the amusement company and its personnel.
Thus, if an amusement company, with or without consent or knowledge of the sponsor or government agencies, permits the public to be "taken" or fails to control the behavior of its employees in their relationship with the public, then the contract with the most worthy and most powerful sponsor, will not be of any real value to anyone after the public was robbed-- or there were more than one incident where employees were involved with the police or city authorities, no matter what the contract says.
No amusement company should take the attitude that they kept their contract simply because they gave the committee an even count. There are several lots in Philadelphia, controlled or owned by organizations, who have had less than desirable experiences in past years and now refuse to sponsor another event. This, despite the fact that they made good money for little effort. Why?
Simply because there are other methods and agencies and promotors that they can use to raise funds, without being associated with an event that will bring disrepute to them.
The silent majority of this country like outdoor amusements
120

in season. Some even enjoy being "taken." Most, however, want to feel free to spend for value received. Therefore, a committee should be given the right to veto pricing for the event and the amusement company should show some flexibility. This applies to shows, games, and rides. It is far better to have more patrons at a discount price than just a few spenders. It is the bottom line that counts. As Isaid, everyone participates for the purpose of making a profit.
This is also to be covered in the written contract, very simply--a mere statement that prices are to be established with approval of committee, covers it. There should be no difficulty on the problem thereafter, since generally everyone has the same motive. This applies to mud shows, railroad shows and little truck shows. The problem is competition and the public will not stand to be fooled. Why fool yourself or the committee?
Iam fully aware of the feeling of many showmen to view their industry as a fraternity and view outsiders -as marks or suckers. Certainly in the past, more things were hidden .than disclosed on the theory that it paid or it was good business not to educate the mark.
Decries sucker attitude
This attitude is suicidal today! I am constantly refreshed and pleased to meet people in all walks of life who, in their early years, worked in outdoor shows as everything from musicians to pitchmen including ride boys. They all consider it educational and contributing to their overall success in life. However, they are all happy to have gotten out. It simply is too precarious and hard for the average person's liking. Why, then, make it harder?
I have known shows with solid contract dates to pull in after a 100-mile haul, set up and two days (or less) later, have to tear down. Why? Because the obligations of the committee and company were not spelled out clearly and the lines of communication were not kept open before and during the date. In the final analysis the sponsor and the amusement company are partners, for a certain period and for the same purpose, to
make a profit. The name of the game is still the same. The minute either side falls down, both are hurt financially.
Therefore, I suggest that contracts stipulate names, addresses and phone numbers for this purpose.
Devices such as limiting the authority of the general agent, or making the contract subject to approval of the managers of the company, are not useful or conducive to good public relations. The company shoud control its general agent and be ready to take the consequences of his activities. If they don't back up their agent's contracts, as has occurred on more than one occasion, they are downgrading themselves and quite frequently are going to find it expensive to go to court.
Few companies in the past have had any real experience with courts. As far as accidents and workmen's compensation
are concerned they leave it with their insurance companies. As to the claims of the companies against committees or third parties, rarely do they bring any court actions. But plenty of actions have been instituted against amusement companies that have breached their contracts or created complaints. Invariably, if by some miracle, they win--they lose. It is too time consuming and expensive.
Conciseness, clarity and communication should, therefore, be the watchwords. If all these are present, performance will follow on all sides.
In summary, contracts should:
1. Be clear, simple and concise with a minimum of legal phrases.
2. Define what is going to happen. 3. State clearly the rights and duties of all parties. 4. Be designed to avoid lawsuits, not invite them. Therefore, every department of an amusement company should be involved. 5. Establish lines of communication in contract and keep them open. 6. Avoid any oral agreements. Before Iclose, let me say that Ihave met many men and women in the business. Some are real friends; and a few, enemies. In retrospect Iam genuinely fond of all of them, indebted for much to most, and admire even those I may not like. Iwish them all the best of life's good things.

"It was a colorful and exciting show, and of course you are well aware of the enthusiastic audience reception. The box office and attendance was about double that of similarly priced attractions that we had in the Auditorium during the inaugural year. It was the biggest gross of our season."
Mark 011ington Auditorium Manager Kansas State University

"The show was the highlight of our season. A turnaway crowd.

The audience became part of the show. Iam looking forward

to a return engagement."

Dean Vincent Trotta

JIMMli YOUNG, Manager

Mr. Ken Kragen KEN KRAGEN & FRIENDS 451 North Canon Drive Beverly Hills, California 90210
Dear Mt. Kragen:
Never in my seventeen years of involvement in the Fair Business have I ever been more inpressed with a group of entertainers as I was with KENNY RISERS & THE 1ST EDITION.
No group could have worked under worst weather conditions as the 1st Editions were faced with. On Friday, the day they were to appear, it rained all day and up into the evening hours. I truly feel that Kenny Rogers and his group saved us from having a totally disastrous gate due to the weather. But as it was, over 12,000 people of all ages sat through two complete shows, covering thennelves with umbrellas, plastic or paper bags. When both shows ended the drenched crowd gave them a standing ovation and yelled for more.
I had the pleasure of having a personal visit with Kenny Rogers between shows and I was highly impressed with him and his humility, especially when he kept saying, "I just can't understand all these people sitting in the rain just to hear us", and added, "You certainly have loyal fairgoers here in Lexington".
I am enclosing a 8 x 10 glossy print which will point out to you what I have been telling you in this letter.
I only hope that the entertainers that we have in the future are of the sane caliber as that of Kenny Rogers & The 1st Edition.
Please extend to Kenny Rogers my sincere thanks for a "job well done".

MANAGEMENT: KEN KRAGEN AGENCY: CMA (STAC Y)

"Never in my seventeen years of involvement in the fair business have Iever been more impressed with agroup of entertainers as Iwas with Kenny Rogers & The First Edition."
KENNY ROGERS &THE FIRST EDITION are the stars of their own TV series and one of the finest Fair attractions available. True family entertainment. Thoroughly professional, completely cooperative, and consistently exciting. Just ask any of these Fair Managers:

AMERICA'S FAVORITE
CO-STARRING
NANI DARNELL

Currently Starring in The MAGIC CIRCUS. Six one hour television spectaculars to be aired in prime time throughout the United States during 1973 ...Sponsored by THE PILLSBURY COMPANY. Creator and Star of the MAGIC LAND OF ALLAKAZAM Television Series seen every Saturday Morning for five years on the full CBS and ABC television networks.

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY ABOUT MAGIC CIRCUS

"The quality of the spectacle is one aspect that changes this show from one only for the youngsters to one that the entire family should enjoy ...its splashy footage should draw '000hs" and "aaahs" from adults as well as youngsters."

"For sheer, unadulterated entertainment, It would be almost impossible to beat Magic Circus or Mark Wilson ..."
Gene Robertson, San Francisco Sun Reporter

Joan E. Vadeloncoeur, Syracuse Herald Journal "As a magician, Wilson ranks among the very best of all time."

". ...what he is, one of the world's cleverest, if not most spellbinding magicians."
