SEPTEMBER e, 1956 Product, Sponsor and TaIent Conflicts Put Selling in Spin Fractional Buys, Competitive Goods, Agency Interests Are Few Problems - NE \V YORK TV today is faced by the growing problem of product, advertiser and talent conflicts which pose a constant threat to the use of the medium by sponsors. The problem bas an infinite number of variations, but basically it results from the fractionalizing of the sale of time and programs to advertisers, a fractionalizing which has wen a quarter hour of NBC -TV time sold to two advertisers, Vicky and Turns, this fall. It results from the drive to get more advertisers into TV by the networks, and the sponsors general desire to ride as many pro - grants as possible, without worrying too much about identification but stressing cumulative impact. The problem is most acute in daytime TV where the majority of sales are made of alternate quarter hours. A recent example is the loss of an alternate quarter hour of Men - tholatum business by the NBC-TV network because the show desired. Modem Romances," is already partially sponsored by the Sterling Drug Company which has a competing product. Mentholatum then scent over to CBS-TV and bought an alternate quarter hour of the Bob Crosby show, tho it will buy an 'alternate quarter hour of another daytime show on NBC. Sponsor Conflict Another variation (The Billboard. August 25) is the refusal of the cigarette companies to accept many cosmetic advertises. Amer - can Tobacco, for example, refused to co- sponsor "Stanley on NBC with Heleno Curtis, because it was to use the program to advertise Stopette, a deodorant. The network then went on to sell the alternate half hour to Toni, but not before it bad been agreed drat Toni was not to use the show for its lipstick.'revlon. which owns "Most Beautiful Cirl in the World." to follow "Stanley" Monday pights, still use that show for its lipstick. Many advertisers, too. do not wish to share time and programs with CNP Sets Deal for Work on 2 Series I4OLLYWOOD - Negotiations for the development of two new series have been concluded between California National Productions and the Ashley -Steiner Agency. involved are The Adventures of Marco Polo... and "Pony Express Rider," both titles self -ex - planatory as to the nature of the series. Agency will develop the programs for the production company..vith Frank Rosenberg serving as executive produce,. cigarette companies because of the recent cancer scare. Talent conflicts also arise. The R. J. Reynolds Company, which bought h a l f of "People Are Funny," objected at first to the use of Art Linkletter as an crnseo because his daytime strip, "Houseparty," on CBS, has among its sponsors Brown & \Villianrson, maker of Viceroy. Admiral, ohich ordered $2.500,000 worth of -foday" and "Tonight" on NBC almost walked out of the deal. because Steve Allen Tonight's" boniface has Avco- Crosley as a 'one-third sponsor, but only aline September. Agency Dilemma Still another conflict is that of an agency which has two clients rising the same time period but on different webs. J. \Valter Thomp- CBS ORIGINAL Sun has Ozzie and Harriet on ABC- TV 9-9:30 Wednesday evenings for Eastman: Kodak. Another agency client, Kraft Foods, uses 9-10, the seine evening on NBC for its hour drama. And there are about four other similar situations on the networks involving such agencies as Batten. Barton. Durstiue 6: Osborn and Young & Bubicam. Because of tire scarcity of good time periods, agencies accept this situation but they do not like it. Other conflicts include those where trr"al citations use spot adjacencies for sponsors whose products compete with those using network shows, advertisers whose copy is competitive. tho their products aren't. Rollaids, for example. talks about clearing up bad ciga- (Cbntinue d on page 8) R&H to Produce, Write TV Musical \F\\ YORK-Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein 11 are signing contracts this week with CBS -TV to write and produce an original musical play fur a special color telecast nett spring. The noted team holds options on five properties, three of nhieb are unpublished novels by unknown authors. in addition, Rodgers & Hammerstein have the musical rights to "Life With Father." but it is reported more likely that they will choose one of the three novels I+r their TV debut. Negotiations for telecasting of one of their Broadway successes gave way to the new plan, which calls for a story of family interest and family values. The orchestra. Lions will pnctbably fall to Robert Russell Bennett and scenic chores to Jo Midziner. Both men have worked closely and consistently on the Rodgers & llemmeratein legit offers. Perfectionists Known as sticklers for perfec. tiort, the musical theater titans have spent five years watching maim productions and wetting their feet with brief TV appearances and scenes from their shows, before attempting a frill- length production. Chances remain good that Rodg. ers and )lamnaerstcin trill both deliver sore brief commentary before or after the performance of their play. Sponsorship and casting are two areas still completely undetruniued SHOWDOWN FOR BRIT. RATINGS? LONDON- Following the public wrangle between Nielsen and Television Audience Measurement over ratings. the authoritative Commercial Television News here Is calling for a showdown on what it calls "these damn statistics." CNT spotlights confusion felt in advertising circles over widely conflicting reports on the reception of the same show by the two main research firms. In a recent case there was a difference of 40 per sent on the alleged increase of viewers in the North of England over the same period of time. And whereas TAM pint the number of spots screened in that area as 3,264, Nicken claimed "nearly 6,000."

There is a good possibility that Richard Pinkham, vecpee in charge of the NBC-TV program department, will be moved to another slot. Pinkham, a top production executive responsible for much of the success of "Today," isas among other maint achievements the strengthening of the NBC -TV afternoon daytime line -up and the insertion of the Perry Como show into time network's Saturday night schedule. He will probably be given a new post at NBC. His successor has not been named. Being considered is the splitting up of his duties. Top NBC programming executive Nat Wolff may go to the West Coast to head up TV programming out there. Mort \Verner, programming weepee, may be given additional duties. And NBC is also on the prowl for another top program mìng executive.

But the national sales director's slot, formerly held by Matt Culligan, is not to be filled. And there are also reports that Mike Dann, programming veepee, may be moved into the sales department in a top executive slot.

"Arthur Murray Party" (CBS -TV) replacing Johnny Carson and "it's polka Time" (ABC -TV) replacing "Ethel and Albert." Seventeen of the winter group topped the mark. while again only two of the summer shows, Charles Farrell (CBS -TV) and the Arthur Murray stanza, passed that figure. The rest of the summer schedule dipped as low as 2.4 and lost as much as 33 rating points. The Arthur Murray show inherited a weak time slot, while the Farrell show inherited the strong "1 Love Lucy" time. Variety Best Varietyformrts farce best among summer replacements. These include Arthur Murray, "Polka Time," Frankie Laine and Julius La Rosa. But straight musical shows made little dent.

Daytime Sales Break at NBC - NEW YORK NBC -TV this week did a brisk business in alternate quarter hours of its daytime' programs.

These shows, "Bold Journey" and "High Finance." followed the trend to lower failings than the winter film series which preceded them.

Miss Rountree Has No Home - NEW YORK Martha Rosin - tree's "Press. Conference," which lost its NBC -TV time slot last week, probably won't find a home at ABC -TV. The areas of disagreement seem to be too many. No sooner had the show been announced fi,r Mondays, 7:30-7:55 p.m.. than NBC -TV dropped it in favor of relalmning to its musicand-news strip pattern to which it adhered in past seasons in that daily half -hour time period. Despite the fact that "Press Conference' already has a sponsor, Corn Products Refining Company, ABC - TV doesn't feel it can work the show in any better than NBC -TV. Selling in Spin C.,ntimreci' from t'a'c 2 rette breath. There arc also many other situations where products are not directly competitive, but do compete in a sense, as for example Slenderella ind No-Cal beverages in the New York market. A spiel was delivered for both by Tex McCrary on \VRCA-TV, here, recently. Contributing to the conflicts are Else tendency toward diversification among big advertisers and the tendency toward growth in agencies. Procter fc Gamble has recently entered the food field with its acquisition of the Duncan Hines Food mixes. It will probably not be able to use "I Lose Lucy" for its foci(. mixes. because it shares it with General Foods. In Ilse agency field there has been a distinct trend toward growth as evidenced by the remarkable mushrooming of Mc- Cann -Erickson and the continuing purchase of smaller agencies by larger ones. What is the solution? The networks are already working on the problem. One of the keys is the settinqg up of ground rules which would allow semi-exclusivity or exclusiviry for advertisers. NBC has decided that in order for a client to get exclusivity on either "Today, "Home" or `Tonight," he must buy a minimum of three participations a week. Another solution is an emphasis upon getting a new kind of advertiser into TV. Large industrial corporations, more insurance firms and others must be found to buy snore network time. In the majority of cases their sponsorship would not be competitive with the old network reliables. And the solution must be f000nd, for TV rates will continue to increase as color be- comes noro important and more fractionalizfing is bound to occur.

The picture of optimism is marred only by the fact that syndication prices have not been allowed to keep step with rising production costs. In fact. they are the same as they were in Shupert Guides A subsidiary of American Broad - castindparamount Theaters, ABC Film opened its doors in September, 1953, under the guidance of Shupert, whose personal reputation has been a big factor ill the company's growth. His staff then consisted pf Don Kearney, vice -president in charge of sales; Joe Greene, at that time film booker, and Lee Francis, advertising and promotion manager. Each of the four was located in a different office scattered thruout Manhattan. Their first properties were two reruns, "Racket Squad" and "The Playhouse," originally " Schlitz Playhouse of Stars.' From this beginning. ABC Film has acquired a dozen shows, 45 employees and three floors of offices, all in one building. The early quartet of executives is still very much present. The company proudly claims many industry firsts, including the first major company to go into business with reruns (wits over $1000,000 in commitments), the first to prepare institutional studies for the Indus - (C.Inrrinnr.:l :1!

Colgate's Feature Buy Over KTTV Sets New Trend in Film Purchases 750G Charge Is 200o of Total Pic Cost; Points Up Prestige of M -G -M Flickers - By BOB SPIELMAN HOLLYWOOD A revolution in the entire pattern of feature film purchases on stations appears to be shaping up as a result of the Colgate buy of M -G -M features on Los Angeles' KTI'V. The channel will program the pis from 8-10 p.m., Friday night beginning October 12. The deal with Colgate is for 52 weeks str,aight, without reruns. the price paid reportedly being approximately $750,000. This amount, paid by a sponsor to a single station-for one program or tfackage, is unprecedented in the history of television. It means, in effect, that without taking time charges into consideration KTTV is recouping almost a fifth of its purchase. price thru the single sale. For Colgate to stake so much in one market is an indication of the prestige the \I -G -M pix commend. Almost equally astounding is tire rapidity with which the negotiations were concluded. KTTV first placed the package on the market on Tuesday (28). Colgate bought it Thursday (30), leaving three other prospective sponsors clamoring at the door. To Colgate it gives two continuous hours in which to plug its product in what apparently :ill be a "smash" attack on the consumer. it appears that all of the various items will be represented (agencies are. Ted Bates, Lennen & Newell.) Negotiations are understood M have been with the company directly. Industry' Effect The purchase will, undoubtedly, have a profound effect on the industry. The most important question seems to be whether it will now lead to other national advertisers buying feature film programming along similar lines, or more or less as syndicated telefilm series Syndication to Tally $50 Mil-Sillerman NEW YORK -TV film syndication will probably reach a gross volume of $50,000,000 in 1956, it was predicted last week by Mickey Sillerman, executive vice- president of Television Programs of America. Reviewing the three years that Bolger Gets 3 Prime Slots - NE \V YORK Three of the package of 20 Ray Bolger hour shows are to be slotted in prime nighttime periods this fall on NBC - TV. The time periods have not been selected. The other 17 Bolger stanzas are to go into a Sunday afternoon slot which will he shared with "Wide, Wide World," Helene Curtis will sponsor half of the hour package, and the network is looking for a co- sponsor. The Bolger program will cost about $100,000 for time and talent. "Wide, Wide World" runs about 200G. They are two of the most expensive shows of their type, but are considered good bays because of the large audiences avail. able on Sunday afternoons and the relative absence of big name programs on at that time on ABC -TV. CISCO TPA has been in business, Sillerman observed that the industry leas grown pretty much along the lines they anticipated when TPA first opened its doors. The first story on the formation.of TPA appeared in the issue of The Billboard dated September 12, When it started TPA had "Ramar of the Jungle" and the Edward Small package of features. In January, 1954, it put "Your Star Showcase" on sale, and in April it launched "Eller), Queen." Altogether in the three years TPA has sold four shows for network sponsorship. It has put nine series into syndication, four of them network reissues, two of which were sold to their network sponsors by TPA itself. Prices Steady Sillerman noted that syndication prices have remained steady over these three years. The proportion of sponsor vs. station sales in first -run syndication still remains about 80-20, as it was three years ago, Sillerman pointed out. The size sales 'force needed by the major distributors has grown with the increase in TV markets and volume of business. TPA itself has lust hired 12 new men in one swoop and will have them in for an orientation clinic on September 17. This gives TPA a total force of 45 men, Sillerman said. hove been sponsored in the past. To elate, stations with feature films have had to depend almost wholly on spots to recoup their investment. Furthermore, most of these have come from local or regional advertisers, with slim pickings to be had from the national scene. One of the prime reasons has been that a large sponsor in the past has never been able to buy a uniformly first -class feature package on a long -range basis. In the average 52 -pic block the usual practice has been to put in about a dozen top pictures, then pad it out with lesser product. This served to bring the average - price per pic down to within range of weaker stations While giving the distributor the opportunity to get rid of mediocre product.

8 soul 8 TV FILM PROGRAMMING THE BILLBOARD '56 BILLINGS - Brewers Rank 2d as Clients of TPA Shows NEW YORK- Breweries have moved up in rank as a class of syndicated TV film sponsors as far as Television Programs of America can tell. In an analysis of its syndication billings for.the year ending July 31, TPA found that breweries constituted the second largest category. In its '55 fiscal year, breweries had ranked fourth as sponsors of TPA's syndicated shows. in both years food products were by far the largest class of sponsors. The TPA show that has the largest proportion of beer sponsors is Susie." This is symptomatic of the trend of breweries to sponsor programs that has e a large female appeal, according to Mickey Sillerman, TPA executive vice- presi- dent. "Susie is sponsored by Drewry's Beer in a large regional spread, by Blitz and Narragansett. it has recently been sold in several markets (including Kansas City, Mo.) to Schlitz Beer, which is contemplating taking it for several more. Schlitz has traditionally sought a balanced adult audience from its TV sponsorship, Witness its long running drametic show, " Schlitz Playhouse of Stars" of CBS -TV. Most beer purchases, according to research, are nosy made by the housewives, and most beer is consumed right in the home. usually in front of the TV set, Sillerman pointed out. Food products represented 22 per cent of TPA's syndication sales to sponsors, beer represented 15 per. cent, automotive 12 per cent. dairies 10 per cent, bakeries 9 per cent, retailers and super markets also 9 per cent, and banks 5 per cent.

"Million Dollar Movie," nightly (7:30-9 p.m.) KFJZ strip airing \Varner Bros. and David O. - nick features, racked up an average 1.2.6, beating such high -powered live offerings as "Robert Mont- gomery Presents" (11.0), Vic Dammne (8.4).

USSR'S TV Official Takes Zobel's Russo Road Show NEW YORK- "Camera Insìde Russia," the filin produced 11t author -lecturer Myron Zobel and put on a few stations last spring as a road show, will be putt into full TV distribution by Official Films. Zobel was one of the first Americans to get a Russian visa after the RIDGE Geneva conference last sear. He shot thousands of feet of film on many aspects of life in the Soviet ism, ',At tr,,,,,, u Union. While in Russia, lie ran 7i«Pat464q into Norman Chandler, orner of KTT \'s Los Angeles. with tgiwnm he subsequently made a deal for MeMaea TN DlNana' ckus a top ' quality film show for Every Product, Every Market, Every Budget of «ter ln s aa lanswiphe un4 Males telecasting the film. When the film was shoo-n on KTV'i' and their on \\'PIN. here, Zobel appeared on camera live to comment on his visit. Zobel's commentary has nosy been put on film, so that the whole thing snakes an integrated 90- minute program. Zobel and KT7'V placed the showy on 10 'stations altogether. Playing in prime time, it got a 16.1 rating in Los Angeles, an 8.0 in New York and a 17.2 in Los Angeles. Official acquired the distribution rights from K'1TV. Herman Rush, sales vice-president of Official, mid they st mild sell it On a premium huais. On Mondays and Thursdays. nights, sv hen the "MUM" premieres its films, KFJZ failed to top only one network show, "Lax Video Theater." " "Texas \trrasslin'," filmed wrestling series, racked up a 14.1 against Bums and Allen s 13.9 average and a 10.6 against Ernie Kovacs' 7.8 in its 9-10 pen, slot. Except for nest's, weather and sports rouual-ups and a weekly church program, KFJZ carries an all -Film line.up, including six hours of- daily feature film programming. Tho the station opened its doors less than a year ago, its operation is already in the black. With profits ac'cruing early and prime time ratings running higher than rivals WFAA (NBC). KRLD (CBS) and WRAP (ABC), Dale Drake, national sales manager for KFJZ, reports his job is getting simpler all Hie time. A new batch of first-nut features, soon to be announced, will give them a sold -out season for '57, according to Drake. The neos from Fort Worth, Drake thinks. ought to provide needed encouragement to new in- (depeudeltt stations. Van I3ergen To Marathon - NEW YORK Charles Van Bergen.

9 StTtas/tR t 1934 TM/ imlboard TV FILM PROCRAMMINC 9 Mf: 1111k An Opt,/ letter t4 Tir ttalíon owner( and manager) w II gadown in TV history as the year in which Holly wood's treat libraries became available to TV. The btu entire major studio library to be acquired foc your use was the RKO library of 742 features in December of 1955 by C & C Television Corporation. Since then Columbia. Warners. 2(kh Century -Fox and the Isfetro- Goldwyn.Mayer Company also made available to you part or all of their great film libraries. The combined original cost of production of the feature morion pictures being offered to you by all these companies is well in excess of 12, It would probably cost double this amount to produce these outstanding attractions today if money alone could accomplish the end result. Such creative talents as Louis B. Mayer. Darryl F.?snuck, Jack L Warner, David Selznick, Harry Cohn, directed the production of these successful pictures. Every impotrant male and female star throughout the world plays in them. The outstanding directors and writers of the motion picture industry directed and wrote the scripts, many of them based on successful novels and plays. All of this is now available to the TV viewing public through your stations. I heartily recommend that you acquire these pictures for your stations by contacting Ralph Cohn of Screen Gems for Columbia features, Bud Barry of MGM for their fabulous library of features, Eliot Hyman of Associated for the won- derful Watner library. Ely Landau of NTA for 52 Fox Pic- tures, and Erwin Ems of C & C Television Corp.. for the RKO library. You would be fortunate indeed if you could acquire all of these features for your station. We realize this would be very costly and difficult to absorb in addition to your other program commitments. You can. however, acquire at kart taro of the companies entire libraries available if one of them is RKO because C&C TV Corp. has made available the roost unique purchase plan in the short history of television. YOU ARE ABLE TO MAKE MOST OF YOUR PAYMENT WITH ONLY A PART OP YOUR UNSOLD INVENTORY OP SPOTS, M NONE OF THE SPOTS IN YOUR EVENING -A" TIME IS RE, QUIRED. YOU WILL ALSO BB PERTTm MI TO OWN THIS LIBRARY FOR YOUR MARKET FOR 10 YEARS, E5'EN THOUGH WE ARE ASKING FOR SPOii FOR ONLY 5 PEARS. Ask some of the theater managers in your town how they would like to pay their theater's 61m rental by giving the dis. «rbutors passes for a fraction of yertetiay'r empty scats in stead of with hard dollars. Yes. Mr. TV Station Owner, most of chest theaters made big profits and many still are making money but I doubt if any of them would turn down such an opportunity. Many of the most highly respected and successful TV station operators have not been too proud nor permitted themselves to be dissuaded by our beloved competitors when they took the time to properly analyze what unique value our method of merchandising has to offer. Some of them such as Westinghouse. Croslcy, Triangle, Storer, were at first affected by what they had heard about that naughty word called "Barter" of their unsold. unprofitable - unused spots for our great RKO library; however. after thorough analysis, they have signed contracts. You don't have to commit for the entire library, as we'll make available a smaller number of pictures for a reduced number of spots. Our plan contemplates providing you with a new set of prints directly from the lab to remain permanently in your station. Every TV market in the country will be playing sonar of the features from the companies mentioned above -they will either be on your station or your Competitoit stations. You cannot afford to ignore their existence or they may affect your station's existence. From a purely objective standpoint, just reflect on the rra son why you are not using a greater number of features today. Perhaps it's because only nos have the highest quality feature pictures ever produced been made available to TV. We don't believe you can hod to pass up investigating what we consider to be the single most profitable deal you've ever been offered to date. We believe that the American public. who have paid bil- lions of dollars ro see feature pictures in the movie houses throughout the country, is the sane audience watching TV and we would like to point out that well over 90% of them have not seen even the best of the top pictures from all the libraries.

Yes, we are delighted... and the reason for chis feeling is bound to become more and-more apparent to our audience and clients as we program these great RKO features." T Vice President in charge of Programming, Westinghouse Broadcasting Company, Inc, "Westinghouse Broadcasting Company believes that good feature films are an important ingredient for effective local TV programming, today and tomorrow. We bought the C & C library, the first of the major feature film libraries available for television, because a library of this caliber offers a plentiful and well -balanced source of feature films to fit many programming needs. These features are rich in both story value and star value, and they are eminently promotable and salable. We are sure that these films will have great appeal for the viewers who tune to KDKATV, Pittsburgh; KPIX, San Francisco and KYW -TV, Cleveland." RICHARD M. PACK JOHN T. MURPHY These are but a few of the many unsolicited testimonials in our files. Copies on request. "The addition of Movietime, U.S.A. feature films to KOA -TV's movie library is an exciting one for all of us.

14 14 TV PROGRAM RATINGS THE BILLBOARD,SEPTEMBER Colgate Feature PULSE LOCAL RATIINGS FOR JULY Buy Over KTTV Sets New Trend Con tin ur-,i parently, however. it also prevented features from attracting national advertisers. The Colgate deal is likely to change all thü. With the company known to have been seeking product for sponsorship in a number of markets, it appears logical that negotiations for the M -C -M block will follow elsewhere. With other sponsors already interested this could start a bandwagon rolling. Hypo M-G -M Pis Sale Conversely, this is bound to spar sale of the M -C -M pis. and lead to a re- examination of sales policies by distributors such as Associated Artists, Screen Gems, NTA, et al. If stations, who have always grumbled about taking the "dogs' with the "gems," can see their wa'' clear to making a profit by paying higher prices for better product, pis may have to be divided into "A" and "B" packages. Tho no other station is likely to command the price, i.e to $15,000 per week. of KTTV which has already built itself. into the leading independent in the country, the incentive is obviotrly a powerful one. According to Richard Moore, president of the station, there are enough "blockbuster" features in the package to run for two years without repeating. The tion they Will face is, on NBC: 8.m. -Local program; 8:30 - Walter Winchell; 9- "On Trial "; 9:30 -"Big Story." CBS: 8-"West Point "; 8:30 -"Zane OW Theater"; 9- "Cnlsalder "; 9:30- `Srhlitz Playhouse." ABC: 8-"Jim. Bowie ": 8:30 -"Crossroads "; 9- Treasure Hunt "; 9:30 -"The Vise." Tiro KTTV execs planned at first to run only one of the \I -C -M features per week in Class A time, the ease with which the sale was accomplished has apparently causal them to reconsider some, hat. and Moore said Friday (31) that no definite decision has yet been reached. It's likely that "series" will be made out of the "Maisie," "Andy Hardy" and "Dr. Kildare" pis. Lesser product will be used up in marginal time periods.

Agency - HOLLYWOOD McCann - Erickson is becoming the first advertising agency with a financial interest in a telefilm operation by backing the construction of the new McGowan Studios here. The three -stage lot is expected to be completed about the end of October. McGowan, while at Kling Studios, has been producing two teleseries for the agency, "Death Valley Days" (Borax) and "Sky King" (Nabisco.) Despite the close association with McCann, the studio Will function as an independent unit. A spokesman at the agency said that the financial backing in no Ways means that McCann will now funnel all, or most, of its commercial production to the studio, but that it will be farmed out as in the past. However, it does appear that there may be some co- production deals pending.

Ed Sullivan is undoubtedly doing the Navy a great service in presenting its a n n u a l talent show, It is questionable, however, whether the TV audience is as appreciative. Everyone loves a serviceman, but to sit thru an hour of truly amateur talent, one would have to be related to a performing tar. Kirk Douglas, an ex -Navy man, handled the emsee chores for the ailing Sullivan, and aside from his overly -enthusiastic approval of Jane Wyman Show (Net) Cm for "Ten Pcr Cent ': Jane Wyman, star, George Montgomery. William Hopper, Edna Skinner, others. Producer, William P. Rousseau. Director. Sidney ntdfeld. Sponsored by Procter á Gamble *Mu Compton Adoenising. Inc (NBC -7V, 9-9:30 p.m., EDT, August 2d.) In the initial show of the fall season. "Ten Per Cent,' Jane Wyman, charming hostess, turned top Broadway play agent. Except for the play itself. it was a nice beginning. Miss Wyman played well, dressed well and was surrounded with some lovely sets. George Montgomery, who portrayed an writer, -and William Hopper, as a producer -heel, supported her nicely. However, with all those scripts lying around on her desk, it's inconceivable that Miss Broadway Play Agent couldn't have picked a better one. This time thru the old story, Miss Agent stood in the way of young Mr. Writer's career, because she once was spurned by the Heel and couldn't stand to have it happen again with someone she loved. Naturally, all matters came to a vomitous conclusion, Procter & Gamble's commercials were well done, but there was a strong suspicion that the sponsor had had his heavy "soap opera" hands on the script. For best viewer results, he should keep out. This show is nighttime fare. Dennis McDonald. Coke Time (Net) Sur, Eddie Fisher. Hou. Fred Robbins. Director, Paul Harrison. Music, Ant Stordahl. Producer, Tad Doniekwakl. Sponsored by Coca-Cola thru - McCann- Erickson. (NBC-TV. 7:304:45 p.m., EDT, August 31.) Starting its fourth season, "Coke Time" is still a smartly produced, extremely likable show. Eddie Fisher has long acted as if he felt perfectly at honte in front of a camera, but. tho relaxed, he has never seemed bored and hence is never boring. This might be because the production around each of his numbers is always original, always ingenious. The second stanza of the season originated at the vacant Hollywood Bowl, where Fisher was dime to make a personal appearance the next day. He opened the 'fv show back in the bleechers in shirt sleeves and open collar singing "It's a Lovely Day." After running on stage and dressing up he worked a charming intro to "Mr. Paganini" in which little humorous tableaus showed some of the great composers whose music has been heard at the Bowl. The great composers were Mozart, Beethoven and Hugo Winterhalter. Cene Plot nik, the talent, he was pleasant and relaxed. The one high spot of the hour was tenor Mitchell Morris' rendition of "Martha:" Morris displayed the only potential and enjoyable talent seen on the shove. The distaff side was represented by soprano Patricia Ryall, a typical American girl with a well-scnlbhed and handsome look, who sang pleasantly. A few more girls would have given the show a better balance. Sullivan would do well to weigh the entertainment value of both the Army and Navy shows for fu- ture bookings. Perhaps it would be wiser, from a show business point of view, to spotlight only the very top service talent within one of his variety shows next season instead of devoting the entire hour to them. And he could still derive the same personal satisfaction from co- operation with the services without sacrificing the entertainment value of his top spot. Loretta Young Show (Net) Star.

(NBC-TV, 10.10:io p.m., EDT, August 26 ) Loretta Young, charming as always, opened her fourth year of hosting -emoting with a winning performance in the role of female lawyer who is stone deaf. Her innate dignity and attractive wardrobe enhanced her considerable acting talents. The kick -off drama of the season found her a witness to murder. Unable to read the lips of persons with accents, she missed the victim's dying message, leading to a cat -and -mouse police game involving her own life. Miss Young showed signs of her recent illness, her face looking tired and drawn, but she has a warmth that infuses the most trivial sentence with meaning and eredi. bility.

Morning extravaganzas received a setback last week as the monkeys made monkeys out of the people in TV's first kiddie spectacular. The whole thing was definitely old zoo. Topping a cast of thousands, mostly non -sapiens, were the agile primates of the St. Louis Zoo. They made Ed Sullivan's guests look like amateurs as they ran thru neat bareback tricks, acrobatics, an orchestral concert and a Liberace impersonation. Biggest reaction front the audience at the zoo came when a chimp pushed his trainer into the moat. Dependable Johnny Olsen, aided by two "oh, so happy and grateful" youngsters and some nervous zoo personnel. plodded tliru a traditional script which called for "Boy, this will be exciting!" before each event and "Boy, that was exciting!" after it. The suspense gimmick for 89 minutes was a promised visit with Phil, the world's largest gorilla.

CHILL OFF Brit. Movie Firms Seek TV's Usage - LONDON British Broadcasting Corporation TV has been huddled for weeks with motion picture execs over a plan to release a limited number of old British movies for the smaller screen. Up till nose studio bosses here have shown TV the cold shoulder. But now the film industry is in a panic at the prospect of the backlog of old Hollywood movies recently sold to American television subsequently being offered over here. If that happened the airea. dwindling motion picture receipts would more than likely hit a really savage low, putting most of the smaller theaters out of business. To block any such move, representatives of the British film industry have drafted an as yet umpishlished agreement with the BB(. which reports say limits the feature films they can show in any one year to about 20. These may be bought from any source, but the picture industry vaults have been flung open to BBC execs who nun pick any films stored there which were made more than a period thought to be five years ago. As a semi -government organization. this arrangement satisfies the BBC. A fair percentage of feature films will ease the pressure on TV studios and staff thru live transmission.

According to the Whitman Chocolate Company, which has registered the term everywhere possible, 'All of the record companies contacted have been most understanding and most co- operative." Mrs. Evelyn C. Eckert, assistant secretary- treasurer of the chocolate firm, told The Billboard that the term "Sampler," used for years for the best selling chocolate assortment, is registered in every State in the Union and with the U. S. Patent Office. "\Ve have spent millions advertising the name, and certainly have no desire to see it become generic thru such uncontrolled ruse.' Mrs. Eckert printed out that the terms "aspirin" and "deep-freeze" originally were registered trade terms, the latter by General Motors. However, thru lack of proper control, they passed into the public domain. So far, the Whitman people have obtained promises of cooperation from RCA Victor, London, Columbia. Mercury, Kapp. Record Corporation of America and Media. Some of the labels, as Columbia. never used the term "Sampler." In the past, attempts to use "Sampler" were made by Central Foods, Ballantines and Scheoley's, among others. All desisted in deference to Whitman's claim. According to Webster. a "sampler" is "a piece of needlework. showing embroidered letters or verses.' If that's what you're selling, Whitman's won't bother you.

Stokowski Inks Contract With Capitol HOLLYWOOD -- Leopold Stokowski last week :signed a non -exelusive recording contract with Capitol Records. Si okowskï s agreement calls for four album releases with future recordings to be considered after the completion of the initial four. Capitol did not identify the orchestra Stokowski would use in his recordings. Indications are he will bato., a studio orchestra as he liad done in his recent releases for RCA Victor. Richard Jones, Capitol's New York artist -repertoire producer, who has handled most of the label's classical recordings, arrived here last week to set up and produce Stokowskï s first session. His first release for Capitol is scheduled for early 1957 release. Stokowski became a corner-stone of RCA Victor's Red Seal catalog while occupying the podium of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra ( ). He founded the All - American Youth Orchestra in 1940 and left the Victor fold to join Columbia Records, bringing his newly formed orchestra with him. After a comparatively short term with Columbia, he returned to Victor, for whom in recent years he has been releasing recordings made with studio aggregations.

Tinte is p.m. ill the East; 9-10 in $4.98 Albums No Bar to Sales.. mont page ls original cast albums, high royalties are often stipulated and therefore the necessity for the $4.98 price in the first place. But despite this, the consumer apparently hasn't shown any hesitancy in buying higher priced packages. A number of major diskeries have embellished their package product in its design, and in specific instances have asked for and received a higher price. Capitol continues to be the only major firm that has been successful in marketing its line of Frank Sinatra and Jackie Gleason albums at $4.98. The other majors have held to a similar price in the case of special package projects such as Broadway and movie sound track albums, tito none have any pop artists segregated to price category. Miller Warns ',uníoucd iron ;:úg: the higher ninth; Jerry Vales "You Don't Know Me" is 16th; Johnny Ray has made the chart this week with "Just Walking in the Rain," and just short of the list and expected to be on firmly next week is the Four Lads' recording of "Bus Stop Song" and "House With Love in It." Columbia has another strong contender with Eileen Rodgers' disking of "Miracle of Love" and the label bas also revived Vic Damone, who recently had a strong chart record with "On the Street Where You Live." Miller pointed out that the Four Lads, who have already had such smashes as "Moments to Remember," "No, Not Much," "Standing On the Comer" and their current "Bus Stop," have not depended upon rock and roll. "Yet the kids love them." Miller said. "What is necessary is a balanced viewpoint and a long range view," he added. As youngsters desert extreme musical forms. we do not want them to desert the artist. At the same time, we want the youngsters, as they grow older, to find an intellectual interest in music." More disk jockeys, Miller said, are taking this long range view and even those who emphasize rock and roll are programming more disks which do not fall into the rock and roll category. An outstanding example of this is the Hugo Win terhal ter-edd ie Heywood pop itit, "Canadian Sunset," which is edging its seas' toward the rhythm and blues best selling chart. Queried about the output of songs. Miller said the amount of "junk" has increased. but added that the number of good songs is "not less" than in other years. Fall 'Showcase' selections reportedly are selling. In only a couple of instances have there been claims that the special, actually hurt business, these being where entire bargain disks were devoted to a single pop-type artist. Here, slowdowns in the sale of the artists' $3.98 disks were clearly noted. In the cases of several indies, the specials undoubtedly have served their purpose by drawing attention to the line and to its quality standards, thereby benefiting catalog sales. the Midwest, and 7-8 in the Pacific area. With American Chicle sponsoring the first half hour of the show, the second half will be on a co -op basis, with stations selling local and national spots within the framework of "Jubilee."

Compiled thru o survey of all major markets, these records figure strongly as potential entries on the National Best Seller Chart. 1. A House With Love in It The Four Lads The Bus Stop Song (ASCAP); (ASCAP) Columbia Mercury Records takes great pleasure in announcing the fabulous new release by Sarah Vaughan. Never be }ore have we been able to secure J. or Sarah such perfect material as we have with this coupling. We suggest you give your immediate attention to t he beautiful It Happened Again and the clever "I Wanna play House Mercury No /1V RECORDS n t=~.+ 2. After the Lights Go Down Low. Al Nibbler (BM1) Decca Ka Ding Doug The G -Clefs (BMI) Pilgrim Rip It Up Bill Haley (BMI) Decca Let the Good Times Roll Shirley and Lee (BMI) Aladdin In the Middle of the House Vaughn Monroe (ASCAP) RCA Victor When the White Lilacs Bloom Again Helmut Zacharias (ASCAP) Decca Shades of Green The Aines Brothers Summer Sweetheart (ASCAP); (BMI) RCA Victor The Italian Theme Cyril Stapleton (ASCAP) London In the Middle of the House. Rusty Draper THIS WEEK'S BEST BUYS (ASCAP) Mercury According to ulu report, In kry Burkrs. to folios mg front Wrung sro recommended for cava profits: JUST WALKING LN THE RAIN (Golden West, BM1)- Johnnie Ray - Columbia "11 seems like old limes," Ray fans have been saying lately. His latest issue has been moving at a pace reminiscent of some of his big hits of the past. "Just Walking in the Rain" eased into the No. 25 slot of the national retail list this week and seems to have enough steam to go much higher than that. Flip is "In the Candlelight" (E. H. Morris, ASCAP). FRIENDLY PERSUASION (Feist, ASCAP) -Pat Boone -Dot FRIENDLY PERSUASION (Feist, ASCAP) -Four Aces -Decca With nearly a dozen different versions competing on this tune, it is perhaps only natural that initial exposure of the tune has been unusually great. Pat Boone's has been the outstanding starter, helped naturally by the fact that he does the original sound track. The Aces are in second place and are showing a lot of strength in key markets. Both the Dot and the Decca releases have the marks of "hit" written over them. They were previous "Spotlight" picks. THE ITALIAN THEME (Maurice, ASCAP) -Cynl Stapleton Ork- London This is another of this summer's crop of instrumental hits. For several weeks it has been one of the best records in St. Louis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, New York and several New England cities. It is still caning up and is moving at a determined pace for the charts. Flip is "Tiger Tango." ST. THERESE OF THE ROSES (Dennis, BMI) -Billy Ward and the Dominoes -Decca For over a month this disk has been making a continuous advance. scoring in territory after territory. Now it is very well established in the East (it appears now on the Baltimore chart) and is hitting \fiddle Western areas with greater impact. From all indications, there is still considerable potential here not yet exploited. Flip is "Home Is Where You Hang Your Heart" (Ward, BMI), A previous Billboard "Spotlight" pick. 49 SHADES OF GREEN (Paxton, ASCAP) SUMMER SWEETHEART (E. B. Marks, B\II) -The Ames Brothers - RCA Victor A lively two-sided seller that is now racking up good volume from Coast to Coast. Los Angeles. Milwaukee, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Providence, Bastob, Philadelphia. St. Louis and Buffalo are some of the cities sampled that returned highly favorable sales reports. Which side will be the eventual favorite...)is still not dearly determined.

55 SEPTEMBER 8, 1956 THE BILLBOARD MUSIC -RADIO 55 RHYTHM -BLUES NOTES By CARY KRAMER The rhythm and blues scene ordinarily is a happy one, but this week it showed signs of donning black crepe for James Dean along with the rest of the industry. Groove Records came thru with the first tribute to the kite actor: Varetta Dillard intoning "1 Miss You, Jimmy." Tradesters recalled that one of Miss Dillard's big hits was also a tribute - "Johnny Is Cone "-referring in that case to Johnny Ace. More dirges to Dean are reported under sway from other r. &b. manufacturers. Any a. &r. men currently seen in a state of acute melancholia can be safely predicted to have a Dean disk under {craps e Lee Kraft has joined the staff of Shaw Artists.

Leonard Carbo bails from New Orleans. Ile is touted as being not only a fine blues singer, but a warbler who also has a way with a ballad a la Al Hibbler or Roy Hamilton. Billy Mure is the other signer. A staff guitarist at Station WNEW, New York, Mure caught the public eye with his recent "Flaunted Guitar" on the Cosmic label. Less well known is the fact that his is the wonderful guitar intro to Joe Turner's "Corrine Corrine.' "Rock 'n' roll isn't itself rowdyit is the rowdies attending that make it rowdy," is the opinion of Police Chief Ray Blackmore of San Jose, Calif. That city was the scene of a widely publicized "rock 'n' roll incident" not long ago. Blackmore did not close San Jose to rock 'n' roll, -as oche; cities have done after similar "incidents." instead, closer supervision was in -. sisted upon, particularly of consumption of alcoholic beverages by youngsters. No one under 21 was served beer -and even this was in paper cups rather than bottles, which earlier had been used as seer -pons at the height of the fracas. The impact of r. &b. un the pop field has been detailed over and over again in the last years. Not so clear is the degree of popularity of many traditional -type pop records in the r. &b. field. One unusually successful disk from both the pop and the r. &b. cusview is the Hugo Winterhalter -Eddie Heywood disk, "Canadian Sunset."...

Despite this deficit in patronage, both L. C. Carpenter, commissioner of agriculture, and \V, H. Ritzenthaler, fair secretary. looked for a net profit that would exceed all previous runs. "Holiday on Ice," presented in front of the grandstand for the first time, was reported to have doubled the attendance count chalked up last year by a grandstand revue. The fair also presented another innovation -jalopy races stages'. by Al Sweeney -which drew a big turnout Saturday night, "Grand Ole Opry" closed the fair Sunday night with an equally strong turnout.

Simultaneously -runs without speaking -Doug Baldwin, fair manager and Fred 11, Kressnnunl, in charge of the Barnes- Carruthers No. 1 revue, thrust out their hands to meet in a clasp that was an eloquent testimonial, each to the other, of a job Well done. Despite rain from start to finish, the night grandstand show had been staged. To be sure, it telescoped. Production numbers were shortened and some of the acts were eliminated. But enough of a show went on to please the fairly good crowds seated under the roofed stand. There were no refunds. And a sizable sum of money was saved, Watching from back stage, the spirit of the tried -and -true outdoor performers was something to marvel at anew. The treacherous underfooting, the damage done to costumes and the trying working conditions -all of these SWEENEY getting the show in, not to dock work. Swing 'n' Sway in Rain they shrugged aside. For it and with it, Ihcy were intent on The Sky Kings, the truly sensational aerial act developed by Bill Atterbury, knew it was much too dangerous to try the full routine, a routine which under normal circumstances is fraught with peril, for in it four members swing from one to another of the four sway poles. But the Sky Kings, like so many of their brother acts in show business, were intent on giving the customers their money's worth. Two of them clambered, hand over hand, up the slippery poles and put on an exhibition that provided a thrilling climax to a rain - shortened show, a climax that sent the customers away happy, as well as thrilled. Outdoor performers. like fair managers and outdoor bookers, take bad weather as a distinct challenge -the challenge to get the show in regardless... to save a grandstand crowd against great odds. Time and again practically all. of the thrill shows have saved such crowds. They have sat out rains, then descended on a deeply mired track to iron it out and somehow stage a show -a show made more dangerous, more thrilling by the slickness of the track. Auto racing promoters are of the same breed. So, too, are race drivers. The strain upon an auto race promoter is intense when weather threatens to prevent the start of a race. Hard -working Frank Winkley and his equally hard -working wife, Verna, are something to see when skies threaten while they are making ready to get a race under way. In the case of auto racing, cars must -or should be- checked carefully by their crews before Ilse start. When weather presses, the unthinking might overlook that. Not Frank and Verna; somehow they speed up the tempo, get the drivers to check their cars thoroly -but speedily -and get the race started in short order. Auto Races to the Rescue Quite apart from the money that is in it, a race promoterand the drivers -delight in outspeeding the rain. They delight. too, in overcoming the elements. Consider what happened at the lowa State Fair, Des Moines, Nednesday (29). A hard rain hit the night before, continued thru the night and did not end until about 11 a,m. The scheduled harness races had to be called off, the track was too deeply mired for them. Lloyd Cunningham, the fair secretary, consulted auto race promoter Al Sweeney. Can you round up enough race cars to stage an auto race program. Can you iron the track out in timer Sweeney was asked. Sweeney said he could. And he did. Ile came up with 12 big cars and seven stock cars -enough for a combination big car and stock car race program. Then he directed the make -ready of the track -a morass of mud at the end of the rain at 11 a.m. Trucks headed by the dual - tired trucks of the Olson Shoves were enlisted. They lumbered over the track, beating doyen the mud, and conditioning the track so that at 3 p.m. auto races could and did start. The result: Another grandstand crowd -this time of 3,500 -was saved. We weren't there, but we can well imagine that at the program's end Cunningham and Sweeney silently shook hands in an eloquent testimonial, each to the other, of a job well done.

Altho attendance was off, revenue from ticket sales was ahead of last year. V. Ben Williams, general manager, announced.

EALIF Sunset Blvd. CHaalnut NONrvrood WIIETIIER an auditorium -arena is self -supporting and makes a profit is readily cleterntined. But whether' it should is a moot question, with the answer lying with local philosophy about the purpose of the building and its operation. A check among memb,.rs of the International Association of Auditurium,Managers by Wit H:ulssen, of the Long Beach, Calif., Municipal Auditoriwn, brought 55 replies. Twenty - three buildings reported a profit for the past year. Losses were reported by 32. IL a nssen s queries specified that detailed re- sults would he circulated only among those who took part. Hots-ever, figures have been released by several of the front -routers. Outstanding leader by a terrific margin is the Milwaukee Auditorium and Arena, managed by Elmer Krah.. Revenue for the Miln'ankee operation was , while expenditures were $ That leaves a profit of $ Second ist the survey is The David Ovens Auditorium and 'Charlotte Coliseum, Charlotte, N. C.. a relatively new building, with Paul Buck as manager. lie showed a $ profit after paying $85,000 iu expenditures from the $ irreorne. Third is the Sam Houston Coliseum, Houston, managed by Francis Deering. The profit thew was $57,000. Income was $ and expenses totaled $191,000. Next was the Allen Cuunty Memorial Coliseum, Fort ll'avne, Ind., with Dort 'Myers managing. He registered a $51,000 profit. There was income of $277,000 and outgo of $ 22.3,000. After that carne 19 other buildings that reported profit- able operations. Some were bigger operations than the four most profitable: that is, their inerirne and msts were higher. But the profits they report are progressively nearer the break - even point. At the opposite end of the tabulation are the buildings which reported operating deficits. The four greatest losses are for larger suns than are the four greatest profits. The greatest deficit reported was $142,000. This like most of the others in the same bracket, is in a city where the policy is to grant use of the building of a rent -free basis for certain specified types of events. In most such eases, it is pointed out that the building h not intended to make a profit. hut it is intended to attract con- vention business to the city. It is argued in those cases that the buildings loss, which is made up from taxes, is more than countered by the profit brought to the merchants, hotels, restaurants and others by eonvcntioteers. In this same class were the Eastern city that had a $125,000 loss. the Western city with a $77,000 deficit, another city with a $ amount to make up. and another Midwestern city with a $70,000 loss.

The unit's pilot model has been In use for a month in the Mirror Mare at II. J. Terell's Silver Beach operation in St. Joseph, Mich., de L'horbe said. Whereas full -sized distortion minors are 70 inches high. this one stands 48 inches. De Llorbe said the item was perfected upon proving the belief that children do not get the full benefit of full -scale mirrors since their low point of view hinders the distortion effect.

Spotty '56 Ends With Little to Rave About - NEW YORK Eastern operators this weekend bid so long and good riddance to a season which was full of promise but mighty short on delivery.. They slid so with the unhappy knowledge that uncertain weather was in the offing for the final big holiday of Malty operators, particularly those in New England, had looked forward to a good year following a 1955 season handicapped by wide - spread polio outbreaks, which discouraged thousands of families from going to public places. Their hopes were answeremi by late snowfall and weekend rains which put a damper on a goodly number of consecutive weeks in June and July. Jersey Hard llit For New Jersey operations there was more than rainfall' to contend with as that State's Supreme Court handed down a derision which resulted in local prosecutors ahuttering virtually all concession games thruout the State. Timing couldn't have been worse for the park and shore people since the ban came on the eve of the Fourth of Judy holiday and has lingered on to this week. It is expected that measures will be taken this fall in the State Legislature to have games legaliiation mer days, it is placed on the ballot for the November elections. Coming after the damage was done, but with the intention of seeing that it would never happen again. was the organization of the Ness Jersey Amusement Siren Board of Trade. Tine group. chartered as Amuse - ments. Inc., immediately pledged $25,000 as a fund to he devoted to getting the game issue on the ballot. Jerseyites were the hardest hit in the East. Few games people were off the nut by July and found themselves out of business with little, if any, profit. and the lushest week vet to come. Operators of rides, food, novelty and the like had it just fair, since attendance dropped sharply after the games ban but picked up again after a couple of weeks. There was no bucking the weather. however, for while patrons started to return to parks and beaches despite the loss of games, they wouldn't do so in, the rain. The season had its bright moments, however, when many good operating days in August showed the general public to be well- heeled and anxious to indulge in outdoor amusements. Places blessed with good weekend weather in August found it to be a late, limited. but welcome doorway to success.

Casual requests for prices and cost of shipping on lots ranging from sit to 3,000 each of various items caused a bit of eye -popping and a lot of rapid figuring and telephone calls to firms to find out if they could fill the orders. Several big orders were placed and paid for, while others are awaiting further handling as to quantity and dates of delivery. Find Spot Absorbing Despite their brief stay. the party was. able to see both Tivoli and Dvreh ;tvsbakken and to meet the ride builders and others it wished to contact. They described, Tivoli as unique and beyond their expectations. They were so absorbed in looking over the park that they didn't find time to go to the office until the following afternoon, when Batt and Gilman Whitney briefly visited Tivoli's office manager, Anger Rydsberg, and left greetings for Mrs. Inge - Lise Bock, directress of the park, who was out of town. On Friday (24) night the entire party went to Dyrehaysbakken and were able to contact Oscar Stefan - sen, of the Stefansen Bros.' firm, who escorted them around.

It was urging by cattle exhibitors and others which prompted last year's change from a Saturday closing, since the Saturday always conflicted with the opening of the State fair in Syracuse, making it difficult for those wanting to show at both spots. For next year the fair expects to erect a new, open show -ring building and improve its parking facilities, which were inadequate this year, forcing use of the dirt trotting track. There was no Thrill Show offered last week. Instead. Saturday afternoon (25) the local Mutual Racing Association promoted midget auto racing. This group normally promotes stock and midget events at the fairgrounds track on non -fair Saturdays. Hopes are high for the event to maintain its new attendance mark next season. since there will be a new Kingston -Rhinebeck bridge opening in November, opemung the fair to motorized traffic from the west side of the Hudson River.

Stockton Gate Matches '55; Spending Up STOCKTON, Calif. -Altho attendance at the San Joaquin, County Fair, which ended its 10 -day run here Sunday (26), shorted a minor drop of 142, both horse -racing attendance and the pari mutuel handle were over last year's marks, R. E. (Dick) Walker, secretary - manager, reports. Walker stated that attendance figures held ut. well in the face of the situation whereby the grandstand had to stand on its own, with only racing in the afternoon and el tertainment at night to draw people from the fair proper, almost a half -mile astas. The fair used both its old ana new fairgrounds sites, with a stand to be erected by 1957 fairtime at the nest location. Last year's attendance was 98,900 compared to 98,578 for the 1956 event. This year's tabulation does not include free children's admissions Monday (20) and the closing Sunday. Walker says that with these added the total would have been stell over 100,000. Racing attendance for the eight - day meet showed 27,760 this year as against 25,275 a yea' go.

Cookeville, Tenn., Loses Grandstand Exhibits in Fire COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Putnam County Fair, ante hampered by a fire that destroyed its grandstand and exhibition hall, finished its four -day run here Saturday (25). The fire, which razed the 2,000 - seat grandstand. struck Friday (25), next to the last day of the fair. The fair's main exhibit hall was a complete loss and the seats on one Ferris Wheel, operated by Cumberland Valley Shows, and six concession stands were damaged. The beef cattle show, scheduled for the grandstand the night of the fire, went on a little late and temporary repairs had to be made for the horse show on the final esening. County property was partially covered by insurance, Judge Luke Medley, president of the fair, disclosed. It was reported that an automatic picture machine, operating \TS in one of the exhibits, started the blaze. ADOPTS REGIONAL STATUS 76,456 Sets All -Time Gate Record for Altamont, N. Y. ALTAMONT, N. Y. -The Altamont Regional Fair shattered every attendance record in its history for its six days and nights (20.25), ringing up 76,456. Rain until 2 p.m. Tuesday, first of the annual's Young America days, was believed to have clipped at least 10,000 kiddies off the gate but adult attendance in the afternoon and evening was only 600 below last year. The fair changed its name from "Tri- County" to "Regional" a week before the opening to get trader the wire as the first of that kind in New York State. The action re- flects a suggestion made earlier this year by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets that annuals study the possibility of combining in order to serve a wider territory and batik] better events. New Entrance The fair constructed a new half - mile entrance ánd named it the Fair Freeway to attract customers to the split -level parking lot con - strutted just inside its new main entrance of four lanes. The improvement paid off with nearly 10,000 cars parked on the grounds. Charging a dollar at the gates, Altamont opened its grandstand with no additional charge to anyone for the Chitwood thrill show on Monday night and Al Martin's acts the rest.of the week. Martin put in Joyce's trained camels; Peyton and Raye, dogs and acrobatics; Kay Gorham line of 10; Therons, cyclists; Sol Solomon, high cliver, and Billy Etilo, emsee. Joe Basile led the band. Calanis, of Boston, provided scenery and special lights for the grandstand stage, where Betty Potter produced her Stars of Tomorrow amateur..evue for the sixth consecutive year. Betty was swamped with kid performers from a five -girl can -can line to a five - year -old hula from one of the Coleman Bros. carnival families. The talent show played 11 performances to some 7,000 without charge. Cnn Afternoon and evening shows featured giveaways. Foster Potter gave out 14 prizes every afternoon including two bicycles. He also doled out 50 to 60 bingo -type prizes, plus five Albany hams every night after Monday, thru ticket drawings. Horse shows counter- attracted at the grandstand two days at the same time as the stage shows. The Marines drew big for their mock war Thursday night and the United States Military Academy Band of 85 pieces, from West Point, did the same on Friday night ahead of the full grandstand show. Gov. Averill Harriman attended Friday night and spoke briefly. He toured the fair for an hour. The Coleman Shows did a land office business on the midway and virtually every concessionaire clamored for reserved space next year when the fair hopes to have its expansion completely around the racetrack carried out. The Friday gate of 2:1,035 was Altamont's biggest ever in one day, but Saturday surprised with 15,795, far ahead of any previous closing day. Noon until 11 p.m. was the operating tírné with a 9 p.m. deadline as the earliest any exhibit could leave Saturday night. The entertainment program, officials said, was designed for no gaps and many overlaps. Rocky Hill Pulls 26,000 ROCKY HILL, R.

Y.-- Weaker bnsiness than last year -but good nonetheless - was enjoyed by the Vivona midway at the fair here, whiel, e n d e d Saturday (25). r Amuesnleuts of America credited Al Luckner and the fair board for much of the success. Storm warnings about 9 p.m. on Thursday (23) were followed by heavy winds and rain, forcing the show to close for the night. Children's Day for the fair, which had been a loser in prior years, turned mut pretty well this time. Publicity was handled by Ira Sapozink and Harry Wilson. Olive Lauther joined her tus band Clarenc, to observe their 50th wedding anniversary on closing day, and will remain on the show for the rest of the tour. Maxie (Mother) Glynn joined with grab joint. John Brown flew to Leaksville, N. C., for the funeral of his brother, 'Marvin, 18, Thon suffered fatal injuries in a fall off a porch. It Ride Put Kid Unit in all but a few instances has been as good, if not better than last year, and in some cases where attendance was down our receipts were up," he said, Ohio Stale Fair, which closed Friday (31), provided the biggest gross the Gooding organization has ever experienced in the more than 30 years it has supplied the midway attractions. Commenting an earlier business, Gooding said: "All those events that had strong local sponsorshipcelebrations, centennials, and the like -produced excellent business," Bazaars, operated by churches also yielded highly satisfactory results. Rental Biz Rises Record rental bnsiness has been one of the highlights of the season's operation. Gooding estimated that his rental business on rides will total about $ for the year, a new high. Ile reuts his rides to shopping centers, supermarkets arid for a mounting'number of industrial picnics. Gooding said there is a marked trend in Ohio for large manufacturing concerns to hold their cumpally picnics on their own grnmdrather than at amus :meat pad, s. and says a sizable share of his rental business stems from such picnics. His Columbus Zoo Park has been given excellent patronage in its first year under his ownership. Ile plans to close the daily operation at the Kiddieland September 18, and thereafter to operate Sundays thrum October 14. He has built up picnic business at the park, pointing out that only the previous Saturday a picnic of some 12,000 Cene-al Motors e.nployees was held at Zoo park. Plans Improvements He already has made vast improvements to the kid funsput and plans additional improvements be- fore the 1957 season. These include installation of a new dark ride, beautification of the layout, complete redecorating job on the Merry -Co -Round and installation of some figures fashioned after features at Disneyland. His park operation has been headed by Hal Eifort, who is slated to leave to head up the major Gooding unit in the South. foe Fontana, long affiliated with the L. J. Hcth Shows, is due to join the Gooding organization next week. ' =, 1, _ 55 RAILROAD CAR SHOW ON TRUCKS TEN MORE BIG FAIRS TO GO CAN PLACE CAN PLACE IP FOR RUTHERFORDTON, N.

First. it is essential that all those who already have subscribed to bonds and who have Yet not sent in their motley should do so at once. Second, it is vital that an additional $ in bonds be sold in the next few weeks so that we have the full $75,000 which will be required to both reconvert and furnish the building in good taste, in keeping with the league's high aims and purposes.

The fair pulled an attendance of 33,633, 2,456 over With the exception of the first day, all daily attendance figures were ahead of last year's. The increase in the gate was reflected in the carnival receipts. Mrs. Waldron declared. While Fair Time played the fair last year, this was the first time under Mrs. \Valdron's direction. She assumed full ownership thru purchase of the show following the closing here. During the winter and early spring, the equipment was refurbished, and new rides added. Tice show now carries 9 kid and 5 major rides and 15 concessions. Two shows, Cal Lipes' snakes and pygmy horses, appeared here. All concessions are independent, with Cecchini & Levaggi, of Sun Valley, operating most of them. T. R. Scar - bough has candy floss, and Paul Zump, novelties. Moves on 15 Trucks The show moves on 15 trucks and semis and carries its own light plant. A 35 -foot van equipped With boom and which for the Tilt -a Whirl was added while the Show was here. The show opened its 1956 season shortly before July 4 in Casa Grand and moved from there to the Melon Festival in Glendale, Ariz. Other fairs on the route include the Eastern Sierra Tri- County Fair.

D. -- Hill's Greater Shows got away to a strong start here Monday night (27) and the good spending continued for the next two nights.

D., where the show had 10 major and 18 kid rides and takes were up 15 per cent over last year. I-ledy Jo Starr's back -end unit was the top attraction.

Kid Bides Co Big The Kiddieland accounted for an impressive 39, gross on the peak day. Of the kiddie units, the new Lerman Carousel, purchased by the Conklins thrl Mickey Hughes. grossed $976 on the record day. It had receipts of close to $950 on several other days. The Helicopter, the new Allan Iferschell ride, grossed $728. Coing price for the Carousel and Heliocopter was two kiddie ride tickets. All other Kiddieland units worked for one kid's ticket. Of these. the Schiff Coaster was the leading money -getter. accounting for 3667, with the Boat ride bagging 3498 and the Sky Fighter 34(10. A major factor in the Kiddieland's 39,700 gross was the tremendous sale of strip tickets at sir for 50 cents. Tabulation far Oa- due showed that 10,072 single In Lets had been sold at a dime h, whereas has been rid at six for 50 cents. The Conk - lun first started the sale of strip tickets in 1946 and each year since their sale Iras jumped. A revision of the prices for adult rides played a part in the record Saturrlry s business and in the higher receipts for the first seven days. Except for the Flyer (Roller Coaster). all of the r riding _1111- ti _ T E R R I F I C SEPTEMBER S Day at CNE devices worked for 20 cents. Heretofore, the major rides bore a 2.5- rent adult price and a 15 -cent kiddie price. Shows Hit, Too The single 20 -cent price yielded slightly more than had been produced under the old scale. More important, it added to the number of riders because it speeded up handling people at ticket boxes. An added beneficial result was that it eliminated discussions at the boxes over whether some children were young enough to,qualify for the kids' price. All of the shows enjoyed excellent patronage on the peak day. and they did better than satisfactory business thru the first seven - day period. At the end of that time, Ham' Setter's Striporama was pacing the shows, with Archie MacAskíll's Illusion Shov second and Pete Kortes' Side Shuss third, closely pressed by the Brenda Fisher -headed water showy, guided by Alfie Phillips, and Glenn Purtrr's`hIonkey Speedway. Other shows inclluled a Seal Show and Neptina (girl Eu the fish bowl), both Attie Phillips' operations; Riverris Globe of Death. the Rock 'u Roll Show. operated by Harry Swank; the MacArthur twins, operated by E.

Auto Races Click Monday's afternoon thrill show likewise played to a half filled grandstand whereas in former years this used to be a capacity filler. Auto races under Al Sweeney continued to bring the crowds with around 20,000 on Sunday. Swee. net saved the day for the fair on Wednesday. Rain held down the crowd and when a downpour hit just before noon. Lloyd Cunningham made a fast switch by calling off the harness event and substituted auto races. Trucks and tractors pounded ont the muddy track and the racers took over nearly two hours late. Grandstand receipts are running higher this year due to a 25 -per increase in price. Rain hit again Thursday morning but cleared in time for the afternoon rodeo, but Sweeney and his gang had to smooth out the track again for the night races held before a near -capacity crowd. Despite the drop in attendance the Olson Shows ors the midway were running ahead of last year's figures. Fair officials also expected an increase in receipts this year as a result of using Pinkerton agency men at the gates to enforce au everyone -pay- policy. The loss of four of the larger far equipment exhibitors gave the Iowa officials some concern altho the space was sold to other exhibitors.

The World of Mirth won praise from fair officials who commended the display of new canvas on front and back -end attractions. the new Club 18 front. and the new Twister ride. The gift of toys to hundreds of orphans and crippled children soon the show added praise. This year. as in the past two years. seven 1956 model cars were given away, available to everyone buying an admission ticket. One was drawn for each night. A $25,- 000 "dream house" was also offered to those who bought tickets at a dollar on the grounds. These offerings were important factors in stimulating attendance, officials said.

Beefed -Up Sltow The fair beefed up the night show this year, booking in several acts, including the Sky Kings - Bill Atcerbury s four sway pole turn -which registered big. Also on the bill were the Haronicats. Bill Horstman, who handled press for the big revue, was credited with cracking some newspaper stories which the busy, able fair's press staff might not have been free to get. The fair, too. concentrated more of its paid advertising on the night show than hereto. Credit in part for higher gate attendance -at least during the early days of the ram -was given to the concentrated fire of a planned. especially late barrage of publicity to offset the two natonal political conventions which preceded the fair's opening. The St. Paul Pioneer Press for instance, devoted a special section and the magazisi section to the fair, giving it the biggest one -time build -up in the history of that paper. Of course, this treatment was in addition to regular news coverage. Also the fair, at the last minute, upped its advertising budget to spend more on TV where film clips were used. To command further attention the fair bought big banners on the sides of buses to offset competition from the conventions. RAS Runs Ahead The Royal American Shows on the midway were just slightly ^ ahead of last year's gross thru Wednesday night, with shows down and rides up, Baldwin said. The horse shoo' st-as off considerably, he said, to give sponsors of that event some worry. The IMCA auto races were drawing heavy attendance during the afternoons with Frank Winklev arranging a highly -entertaining program for the spectators who on Reading Plans (or,li,i!111i jrnm po,,e fib apple pie baking and ability in hand milking a cow, Varied Entertainment A variety of attractions have been lined up for the grandstand shows.

The CAC -H ;[mid revue, Stairway to the Stars, and many vaude- ville and circus acts. are listed thruout the week for evening performances. A rock and roll imit, headlining Lillian Briggs.

There will be five kiddies days. Prizes will be awarded at each session. Thursday atfernoon alone numbered more than 30,0(0). Rain during the nights slowed down the track and delayed race starts for speedway cars on Sunday and Wednesday while workmen got the course into shape. Tommy Smith, Minneapolis, was critically injuried during the big car time trials. Alone on the track, he came out of the northeast turn only to have his steering gear break. Smith lost control of the car, hit the wall and turned over three times. Of the nesv features, the Barnyard, operated by the FFA, featuring mothers and off -springs such as duck and ducklings.

Y. -Music operators from all over the country- nearly 500 of them along with their wives- converged on the Rudolph \Vuritlzer Company grounds here last week, August fur the biggest one -firm celebration ever staged in the automatic phonograph. business.

The 19 -acre plot of land upon which the Wurlitzer North Tonowanda plant is located was handed over to producers, show managers, chefs and carnival and circus performers.

Y. The 15- machine order was not to cover transportation costs. For an operator and his wife to attend, and to have Isis transportation supplied free cf charge, the 15- machine order was to be scaled upward proportionately with his location from Buffalo. The Billboard (August 25) erroneously stated that a purchase of "usually 5 to 10" was required. The Billboard regrets its error and is happy to set the record straight. Juke Tax Action Hot In Detroit Suburbs UMO Wins Amendment on 1 Ordinance; Petitions for Court Action on Second DETROIT -United Music Operators of Michigan chalked up a legal victory in one Detroit suburb last week and petitioned for court action in another.

According to Roger Thaster, Magne- Tronics executive, the Audiomation Varytape System its conjunction with Magne- Tronics Program -Matic tapes up -dates the music content of any eight -hour tape by automatically,inserting current tunes and seasonal selections. He added that it also permits unlimited variety in prograt* con - tinuity by automatically intermixing the musical content of any two tapes. Tape Reproducers The system is based on two heavy -duty Fidelivox eight -hour tape reproducers interconnected with a specially designed electron - ism. This electronism automatical- Iv stops one reproducer and starts the other whenever 30 seconds of silence occurs on a tape. Interchange takes place every 12 minutes, as Magne- Tronics tapes are specially programmed with a 30- second silent interval between each 12-minute music segment. The firm currently has 30 eight - hour tapes which provide 870 different tape combinations, equivalent to 6,960 hours of programming, without repeating the saine sequence of segments. New tunes and seasonal selections on supplementary tapes issued by the firm are similarly machine -fed once every 12 minutes into the program content of any eight -hour tape. The Varytape System and Progrumatic Tape Service will be programmed as a background music package, Established tape equipment dealers and sound system installers will be named as distributors. asked for a straight _$5 per machine fee rather than $25 group price. The new amendment passed by t the council last week calls for a straight $5 per machine fee, with a minimum fee of $10- exactly what UMO had asked for. The council went a step further, however: Cut the 815 per location fee to $10. and agreed to send a letter to all location owners stating that this $10 fee was to be paid by the location owner rather than the operator. The new Wyandotte ordinance will be reviewed in 12 months at the request of UMO. Small stressed the fact tlett the Wyandotte City Council had been co- operative and understanding after the facts had been presented at public hearing. He said that UMO would be glad to talk over method of procedure to operators in any area faced with similar problems. In suburban Melvindale, the outcome was not as satisfying, but UMO is optimistic that via court action their requests will be granted.

83 SEPTEMBER 8, 1956 THE BILLBOARD MUSIC MACHINES 83 MUSIC OPERATOR FORUM Do Big Jukes Up Op Record Costs.? IEditorsc Note: This is the first in a series of four Music Operator Forums covering multi- selection equipment as it affects operator record buying and dime play. The first three articles will highlight record buying costs. record programming and trends in record programming, while the fourth feature will take up dime play on the big juke boxes. A preview of the series was launched in last week's Billboard, September 1. and covered briefly all of the topics mentioned. It must be pointed out that Music Operator Forum 6operators own and operate, on an average, more phonographs than the average operator. The Billboard's 1956 Index of the Music Operating Business placed the average number of phonographs owned by a music operator at 47.8; MOF operators own and operate 72.4 machines.) The one big question raised by operators discussing the new, big 200 -selection phonographs is "How will 200 -selection. machines affect my record buying and expenditures?" Operators participating in this week's Music Operator Forum answered with programming data: Comparisons of programming techniques used on machines offering from 40 to 50 selections. 80 to 120 select ons, and 200 selections. As the accompanying chart shows, the percentage of pop records used on joke boyes decreases as the number of selections go up. \Vhere the pop category represents over 53 per cent on machines with' 40 to 50 selections, it drops to 47 per cent in the middle group, and falls again. to under 32 per cent, on 200's. Country and western also dips slightly as more selections are added, from 26.6 per cent on the 50's to 15.3 per cent on the 200's. Rhythm and buses is nearly c'onstarrt, moving only from 10.5 per cent to 10.8 per cent. The fourth category on the chart, old favorites. shows the biggest change. While operators are content to use less than 10 per cent of the old favorites on machines offering from 40 to 50 selections, they indicate that it would be suicide to use less than 40 per cent on 200's. it is this fourth category that accounts for the hulk of all added selections over 100, 104 or 120. Because these disks may be changed or shifted from location to location, operators Selectivity & Record Buying... BERT G. LIESCH, Milwaukee: Operators do not have to add or change more records on a phonograph just because the number of selections go up. Bigger machines require more records to begin with, but the number of new records going on each week stays about the same. A 200 -selection juke bou should receive about the same number as on a selection machine. As far as pop disks are concerned, there just aren't that many good ones issued each,week." RALPH K. JORDAN. Huron, S. D.: "Machines offering greater selectivity vs-ill require no increase in record buying per machine because there will be nn more good records available each week than before. What operators will do is leave standards and old favorites on the machine longer. Personally, I do not think 200'u are necessary; 100's can handle all the music the public wants to hear." O. RODGERS, Salinas, Calif.: "With regard to selection machines, they do not need more record changes than smaller models. As far as hit records or pops are concerned. there are only so many released each week so more can't be added to the bigger machines. Most location requests for disks are usually of the type that can be passed from one location to another. such as old favorites and standards, and that helps cut record costs, too. The 200's require a slightly larger investment when they first go out on loca- O. RODGERS tion, W. D. SHEFFIELD, Odessa, Tex.: "Opera- tors do not have to buy any more records for large multi -selection machine than small one. Gross receipts should determine record expenses." point out that once the initial outlay for records is over there is no more additional record cost for 200's than for models with fewer selections. Of course. operators asserted, the number of new records.purchased cads week depends upon collections. "if a 200- selection machine earns more than one with fewer selections," one op- erator said, "Ill put more records on it each week. l'd put on fewer if it earned less." The subject of record merchandising was also brought up by MOF operators. The} said that operators should talk over record changing and programming with location owners, let them know what new records and changes are being made each week. Along the same line, an operator said: "i find it helps when I ask the bartender or waitresses if they like the new records going on a machine." Asked why more pop records aren't used on the bigger machines, operators said: "There just aren't that many good.ones coming out each Meek. An old favorite will pull more play than a dud nnp." With regard to EP's. operators were of mixed opinions. Some said that they thought EP's were the best type of record to take care of old favorites and specialty music. Others complained that they were more' expensi'e and reduced selectivity on juke boxes. All seemed to agree that EP's should be used only for old favorites and special type categories, not for pop tunes. The one point operators unanimously underlined as the biggest cost- saving factor: Better juke box programming. How They Voted I.

This, however, is not a problem of new record releases. Customer favorites and old standards will have to make up the additional tunes." Programming & Costs.. G ds Si VENDING. Haledon, N. J.: `We do not think operators will have to bury more records just because they add machines with more selections, but they'll have to do a better job of progeonunuing their machines." DOUGLAS DETRICK. Auburn. Ind.: 'The 200 -selection machine, if programmed properly, will require very few more new records each week than the 100 machines." FRED J. CHRISTENSON, Spencer. Ia.: "After the initial outlay for records on a 200 -selection machine, I can't see any additional record cost. After all, there are only so many pop tunes released each week and only some of these make good. More old standards will be used by operators and the standards will stay on machines longer and be rotated from location to location." STY PEARL, Eugene, Ore.: The new do not necessarily mean more record buying for operators, especially in regard to pops. However, albums and EP's should be used to give machines a new flavor and at the same time help operators merchandise their service. After awhile, the albums and EP's will be in stock and new purchases will not be needed." ARTHUR WESTIN, Luling, Tex.: "My record costs are the same for the 200's as they were for the 100's." TOM SHELDON, Payette, Idaho: "With regard to record costs for 200- selection machine, it's entirely up to each operator. Operators should know how many records to change on a given machine for masimum play. Again, it's a job of salesmanship by the operator to inform the location of the number of records being changed on each call," NEARLY A 100 STRIKE IT LUCKY NORTH TONAWANDA, N.Y, -Prizes ranging from a Pontiac station wagon to Frigidaire automatic washers were awarded to nearly 100 music operators at Wurlitzer's Centennial Celebration here August 23-25, Lucky winners event home with everything but the kitchen sink. included in the array of prizes were a station wagon a Wurlitzer electronic organ. spinette piano and electronic piano, console and portable TV sets, refrigerators, automatic washers, a gas range. over two dozen radios and a car load of toasters.

Association in the battle to prevent the city of Boston from placing a $50 annual license fee on all music machines, as directors of the Association met this we.ek with the Committee on Ordinances of the Boston City Council. After a presentation of industry facts. the legislators were persuaded that the fee was out of proportion and the coilnmen were asked to come back at the next meeting and present a compromise amount. At a caucus of operators the opinion generally watl that no fee was what should be insisted upon. Others felt that a. small fee should be suggested. A meeting of the directors of s1moa is to be held w-_thin a few days ss hen a unanimous opinion will be sought for the meeting of the committee nest week.

(television sets in public places as well as juke boxes. Spokesmen for the coin machine industry mainta;n that such a fee would be unconstitutional, since the theory of a permit fee is supposed to be levied in accordance with the cost of administration. At present there is no fee for the week -day operation of juke boxes in the city. However, a Sun- day license costs $2 per Sunday for the city and $2 for the State as sell as the $Ua federal tax.

This point is based or that part of the new ordinance which calls for operators to secure licenses before soliciting new locations in Melvindale. 2. The new ordinance is discriminatory in that it' makes no provision for regulation of machines owned by location owners. 3. All local licenses in Michigan are to be for regulatory purposes only, not for the purpose of deriv- ing income. The nest ordinance does not indicate what it is supposed to be regulating. The show-cause order instructs the Melvindale City Council to show why a $25 fee is necessary for regulatory measures and why operators must secure licenses before soliciting locations. W. Va.

The firm is hearted by Leo Ruskin, with Harry Wills, vice- presi- dent. Hans Laube Swiss inventor, developed the machine and formulated the synthetic scents. According to Wills, the Stanley- Warner theater chain has signed a one -year option for the theater rights to the unit. He added, tho, that this option does not cover the vending rights. Pilot?starlets Two pilot models. one for the -. aters and the other for vending machines, ice cream coolers, etc., have been built. Wills said Sccntovision has about 400 synthetic aromas whirls can duplicate most fold smells. The device has an "erasing feature," which can eliminate the smell in seconds. A control on the machine enables the operator to throw the smell specified distances. For vending machine operation. Wills said, an intermittent scent would probably be used. On the model Wills used to dem. onstrate, seven aromas were produced from the same machine. with an interval of about 10 seconds between aromas. The vending unit itself is 18 by 18 by 8 inches and. according to 14'ills, will sell for about $50. Scentomatic does not plan to manufacture the unit. Current plans call for turning the unit over to a manufacturer on a royalty basis, or working with.,individual vending machine manufacturers. Impulse Sales Wills said the scent unit could be incorporated in the vending machine itself, or it could be placed atop the machine with an illuminated picture of the product vended to attract impulse sales. Wills entered the promotional field from the Rudd -Melikian or- ganization. He had been on the New York sales staff. working from the office of the Coffee Wending Service. Prior to that, he had been a New York salesman for Cole Products. and before that he had been associated with 'relecoin file tears.

SEPTEMBER S, 1956 Shuffle Bowlers in Solid: Distribs Report Sales Up Public Back on Bowler Kick Again With Fall; Like Regulation Scores B' KEN KNAUF CHiCACO -The shuffle howling game, like the juke box, has : idently become a permanent part of the American scene. For about a year now, shuffle collections have been down -but not out. Now. with the stimulus of a promising fall season getting under way, the shuffles are once again solidly entrenched at locations. What brings the shuffle back? Distributors here in the country's coin machine center say many fac- tors are involved. But foremost among them is the fact the players have come to look for a shuffle bowler at their favorite tavern and other locations, and expect to find one there. The seven -year tradition of shuffle bowling has come to be a permanent pastime. Other strong factors involved are: 1. The drop -off in pool game popularity in many areas, making room for a strong return of shuffles. (Editor's Note: For recent activity on pool games, see separate stories in this section). 2. The wind -up of the slow summer season, bringing players United Ships Handicap, New Shuffle Bowler C I IICAGO- Handicap, a new shuffle bossier featuring actual handicap play, was shipped to distributors last week by United Manufacturing Company. The regulation -type scoring game permits players to select easy, medium or hard scoring. Thus, the average player selects easy scores: the good player, medium scores. and the expert player, laud scores. This enables an average player to compete on a near -even level with an expert. As many as six phis ers can compete. Players press buttons on the cabinet molding to select their scorhng handicaps. Actual bowling scores are registered automatically fur strikes, spares and blows. Extra shots are permitted in the 10th frame. and the game has the 7-10 Pick -up feature. Penny Pinball Play Ruled Out In Tex.

Grace ruled a new device used on tables last spring to be subterfuge and illegal. The device allowed pinball players to play additional games for a cent in event they made certain scores. Grace acted in a case made against Paul Perkins Jr., operator of Paul's Lounge. Van Henry Archer, attorney for Perkins, had argued there had been on payoff to the pinball player in free games since players purchased extra games they Lantt r.,r nos Dank back to locations. and operators back to distributor showrooms in search of equipment for the fall trade. 3. The ever -increasing popularity of the sport of bowling which. in lairs. adds to the attraction of the coin -operated version. As a result, distributors queried here generally reported a hefty Increase in sales, especially on good used shuffle models. and in some cases. on new models as well. Operators reported that grosses on their shuffles- which slid not fare too well during the summer -have begun to pick rep fast. Both opera- tors and distributors reported that players seem to prefer the newer - type models with regulation scoring. Lower Price Desired Joe Robbins, Empire Coin Machine Exchange sales manager. said that while pool games are gradually fading from the Chicago sales scene, he believes the shuffle bowler is here to stay. "'she regulation -type scoring models are in good demand," he stated. Robbins said volume sales on new shuffles are held back only because of the higher prices asked for these mod - (Continued u.n page 97) Ind. Court to Rule On Pin Free -Play INDIANAPOLIS- -Ouse of Indiana's highest tribunals, the State Appellate Court, will be asked to decide this month whether pinball machines with free -play offerings are to be considered gambling devices. To be made by the Marion Attorneys Office. the appeal stems from a tosser court decision handed down last June by Special Judge Earl C.

PAUL -The federal government reactivated its long -dormant campaign against pinball operations in Minnesota when agents August 27 hit nine locations in four Southern Minnesota cities and confiscated machines claimed to be worth $10,000. George MacKinnon, U. S. district attorney for Minnesota, said the evidence collected by internal revenue intelligence unit agents would be presented to the Federal Grand Jury meeting in St. Paul Tuesday (3). MacKinnon said the recent moves represented the first time the United States has acted against the persons who actually own the machines. Previously l o c a t i o n owners were hit. Cite Evidence The simultaneous raids took place on search warrants issued recently by C. O. Lundquist, U. S. commissioner in!minneapolis, based on affidavits from internal revenue agents stating they had "positive information the machines were used for gambling purposes," the district attorney said.

These (Co :,,,.r,t 7;) ROLL PINBALLS BY HAND? STILL - WASHINGTON The Internal Revenue Bureau ruled August 27 that lessening the element of chance does not exempt coin-operated machines from the $250 yearly tax on gaming des-ices if prizes other than free plays are awarded. The ruling resulted from a "request for advice' to determine whether allowing a COS TS OP $250 player to roll the balls over a playing surface by hand, thereby giving him more con - trol over the game than in plunger - type pinballs, re- moved the game from the $250 tax category. The Bureau decided that "the action of the ball on the playing surface is the same' in cash case, and that success- ful operation in both cases depends on chance. Internal Revenue added that "the awarding of prizes on the basis of the number of bulbs lighted is no different than awarding prizes on the basis of scores attained."

Some coinmen it: this area already were picking, pallbearers for the game only to see it jump from the box and really go back into action.

"We a figured it was a good thing us Nile it lasted, but that the fad had nut its course. "Then what happened?

Earlier this year the federal government conducted similar moves in Minneapolis and St. Paul, and fines totaling $40,050 were levied against 39 persons, businesses and corporations convicted of tax-stamp evasion.

Game Ideas': Wolcher CHICAGO- Distributors could lead the way to new ideas in the coin- operated amusement game field. Thais the belief of Lou Wolcher, Advance Automatic Sales Company, San Francisco. In an article in Distribs Digest, publication of the National Coin Machine Distributors' Association. Wolcher tells how distributors and their employees may hold the key to future development of new gaine ideas that could benefit the entire industry. In all of our various (distributor) organizations," says Wolcher, "we have young men who are able mechanics who speak to operators every day and who can, if their interest is pointed in that way, work on earner die Ideas of which will come Baum their close associafioi with the operators and locations. "There was a time when it might have been extremely difficult to sell a manufacturer a working model of a new and different game and get any substantial return for it. This is not true at this time. I am sure drat any reputable distributor bringing a game that had merit into one of the major manufacturers would be substantially compensated for it and who in turn could in some measure share this compensation. with those of his employees who have worked to develop it.

Po.1 Table Tops \ I t GROSSES OK Hoosier Pool Games Still Going Good SOUTH BEND, Ind.--There's no such thing as a pool game demise in these parts. Operators report -pool table grosses have remained fairly steady thin the summer, averaging from $15 to $20 a week per game. While these averages are just half of what they were during the winter months, its still pretty healthy business, compared to most areas of the country. Al Miller, New Carlyle, Ind., and Mike Lanko, South Bend, say Ih:u some top locations in their areas still bring in $60 a week grosses on cue games. "Pool game grosses dropped off only in a' few spots," said Miller, "and we expect most of the spots to pick up again this fall." Miller and Lanko reported that players have begun to try out "their own versions" of pool play, which tend to slow down the game to some extent. "But the original bumper pool table is still the most popular," they added. Indiana Court (.'.rtrll,i,rrrl Inmll page!)? rulings, he said, upheld the position assumed by the Marion County prosecuting attorney. John G. Tinder, that pinball machines are gaming devices in themselves. Smith stated also that he was studying the laws of these States in a search for points of similarity to or divergence from the gambling statutes of Indiana. The litigation had its origin in the seizure of two Music Operating Company machines in raids last spring. A further recourse of the litigants, after the Appellate Court decision, would be an appeal to the State's Supreme Court. Indiana's Hasbrook anti -gambling law, passed by the 1955 session of the Ce.ieral Assembly, sanctions free plays. Charges have been made that the stipulation was "smuggled" into the statute in committee by surreptitious means. The accusation has been denied by members of the Committee, who insist that they sought only to clarify an irksome point at late. The Ceneral Assembly, to meet in regular session next January, is expected to encounter intense pressure for the deletion of the free - play proviso. Those favoring retention, however, claim that they will succeed in mustering formidable support and that the free -play sanction will remain unchanged. Both candidates for governor, Lt. Cov. Harold Handley, the Republican. and Terre Haute's Mayor Ralph Tucker, the Democrat, are classed as "liberals " - Under Indi. ana's constitution, the incumbent governor, George N. Craig, cannot succeed himself. - Judge Townsend declared that he W EIS basing his decision on the 1955 law. `Distrib Source' l. oaf rtlrrr'ri Jrrill, pore 92 market is hungry for a new coin. operated machine, our employees given a little time, and of course, unlimited access to our used games and our parts departments, could develop something which could be a boon to the industry.

97 SEPTEMBER THE BILLBOARD COIN MACHINES 97 Launch Study On Oils, Fats For Candies - NEW ORLEANS -A new re acarch project to determine how fats and oils are affected by combination with other ingredients of ranches has been started at the Southern Utilization Research Branch of the Agricultural Research Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture. A government spokesman says that the new program on confectioners' fats is expected to benefit all segments of the candy industry. including the vending field. The project is befog carried nut co- operatively under a research fellowship financed by the National Confectioners' Association. - Dr. \Verner Landmann. a chemist with years of experience in similar research works on fats and oil in Paraguary and the United States, has been appointed to undertake the studies. Dr. Landmann will also seek informalion which may be useful in developing new forms of fats and oils "tailored" lhru chemistry to fit requirements. for producing candies which will not dry out rapidly. The work will be carried out under the immediate direction of R. O. Fenge, supervisor of the Oil Processing Unit, Southern ijllizatiun Research Branch. Shuffle Bowlers,,,,,,,,I,re,i _, O? cis. "New shuttles at a louver price would sell at a fast clip," he believes. A new shuffle bowler which could sell at a $450 tag twnukl he a "best seller" he asserted. This would allow operators to boy new games for their "medium spots" as well as tor their "top spots." "Shuffle howler sales are.ilis strong again." reported Don Moln- Mey, head of Dona. Distributing t umpany. "ln fact, used gaine fides in general have shown a tine spurt upward in the past few weeks." he said. Moloney said operators are getting better collections on shuffles situe.'and this factor, combined with their present need for new equipment for the fall has boosted sales. Noting a similar Hike in bowler Sales, Joe Kline, First Coin Machine Exchange, reasoned, "Bowlers have been around a long time, and players are used to them. Like the juke box, they want to see one at their favorite location." Good late sited shuffles, especially of the "flasher type" are in strong demand he said. Herb Perkins, Purveyor Distributing Conpam, said the relatively small number of new bowlers produced over the past months has created a better demand for sueh equipment at this title. The newer - type regulation games now avail- able have been well received, he said. "The original type shuffle bowler (with regulation scores) is once agair. the players' t.ivarrite," he said. "And now, in crmtrasl to when the game first came out, up to six players can compete in one game." Perkins feels that the nation -wide boost given bowling them TV showings of tournament play has further increased shuffle bowler popularity. Out of Storage Dave Polo, partner w tilt 1{y Polo in By Polo _Amusements, Chicago operation, said that the finis has stored most of its shuffle bosslers doing the pool game boom, expecting the bowlers to "come back.' "Now.' Dave related, "w'e're moving most of the bottlers back on location.' Polo said it was too soon to tell whether or not the pool game would remain a good earner at locations. "It man hare been the hot summer weather that cut pool collections down," he reasoned. German Coinmen Plan American Tour in Sept. NEW YORK.--At least 10 German juke box. goose and vending operators and distributors will make a two -month visit to this country to inspect the nation's manufacturing facilities, talk shop with American operators and see their locations, and learn how American distributors conduct their business.

Plans call for the group to arrive in New York September 19 and to "By the end of October, with the cooler weather, well be better able to tell whether the pool game collections will get back to normal" lie said. "People dont care too much for pool during the summer. Even the pool halls don't draw many customers during the summer," he observed. Paul Golden, head of fa -Ru Novelty Company, large Chicago operation, said shuffle collections are picking up, and expected good returns on his game routes from now on dirt the si inter months.
