KENOSHA. WIS—The Kenosha Theatre here ob.served its 25th anniversary late in November. Wilfred "Bud" Nelson is manager of the house and Francis Schlax. district manager of Standard Theatres, owner of the theatre, headquarters here. The 2.100-seat hou.se actually opened 25 years ago Sept«mber 1. It was built and operated for two years by Universal Pictures, now Universal-International. The theatre was leased by Warner Bros, in 1929 and five years later Standard Theatres. Inc.. leased the house. The Wisconsin chain purchased the building in February 1950. At the opening of the theatre a special edition of the Kenosha Evening News dubbed the theatre a "marvel building in Spanish architecture." The special issue was jammed with stories boasting of the beauty and comfort of the building and a full-page ad urged all to attend the "two big bills in one" offered at the opening. The vaudeville bill included Nancy Gibbs and company of ten in "Dear Little Rebel"; Bert Gordon, comedian, and the Arnaut Bros., musical clowns. The first picture to play the Kenosha was the premiere of "The Irresistible Lover." starring Norman Kerry and Lois Moran. The feature was silent. Talkies made their debut at the Kenosha in February 1928. What the theatre lacked in film dialog, it made up for with ample music. Ted Stanford. Racine organist, took over on the Kenosha's S50.000 Wurlitzer. Karl Von Hoppe conducted the theatre orchestra. Great orchestras and many top stage and screen acts have graced the stage of the Keno.sha in the past. Veloz and Yolanda. Donald O'Connor and the Three Stooges entertained there and bands such as Duke Ellington. Ray Noble. Bob Cra-^by. Lawrence Welk. Eddie Howard. Ken Griffin and song teams such as the King Cole Trio and the Mills Bros, have packed the theatre. Th house has seen constant improvement in the years. The screen has grown from 340 to 720 square feet. Air conditioning has been Installed and sound equipment has been re- placed by more modem models three times In the last 11 years. Schlax. the district manager for SUndard circuit, has an added two years record over the theatre itaelf. He began in the theatre business as an usher in the old Majestic Theatre and Is marking 27 years in the industry. His current territory Includes Delavan. Lake Geneva. Beloit and MadLson. Nelson has been with the district manager for about ten years, starting at the Geneva Theatre. He came to Kenosha from the armed services and is a native of Beloit. Mermaid Pat Williams On Tour of Midwest OM.'^HA—Take one $160 bathing suit, fill it with 128 pounds of well-molded and taruied against a s.now- Hollywood mermaid, place it drift background and you've got something few city editors can resist. The formula rated Pat Smith a two-column picture and generous and well-read portion of column space when she came to town to let Omahans know MGMs "Million Dollar Mermaid" will be at the Orpheum around Christmas. Omaha was the first stop for Miss Smith, who is on a nine-city tour of the midwest. She was interviewed at the World-Herald. WOW-TV and WOW radio station and appeared at the Jewish Community Center at a clinic for polio patients. From here MGM divisional publicist Ivan Fuldauer took her on to Des Moines—where the snow land opportunity! was Just as propitious. Pat posed on a radiator in the Blackstone hotel, then outdoors against a snowy background, with a brief fur coat that didn't olwcure her tanned legs for sun-hungry Omahans. The star of the film U Esther Williams. Nineteen U.S. color films were shown in Austria the first half of this year, five British color films, three German, two Austrian, two Russian and one Italian.
