CLEVELAND Best Wishes » for A MERRY CHRISTMAS and A HAPPY NEW YEAR from National Screen Service Corp. NAT BARACH Manager GEORGE KENDIS IRVING MARCUS Office Manager Sales and Associates MERRY CHRISTMAS K Paul Scholz Bert Brock Jim Edwards of ARGUS INC. Film Building Cleveland 'i I Plumbing Film Directed By Former Projectionist DETROIT—Movicon Motion Pictures has completed a 35-minute short, "Design for Living," covering the history and manufacture of sanitary and plumbing fixtures from the Egyptian period down to the present day for the Briggs Manufacturing Co. The film will be released through the regional offices of Briggs for showings before all types of audiences. Direction and narration were handled by Robert F. Anthony, director of advertising and sales promotion for the Briggs plumbing ware division, who has an extensive background in theatrical work in this area, and is well remembered as a former motion picture projectionist at a number of Detroit theatres. His film background has been utilized in the production, which was produced by Michael DeMartino, president of Movicon, with special art effects by John Tacconelli. Detroit Censor Is Witness DETROIT—Inspector Herbert W. Case, chief of the Detroit censorship bureau, appeared in the national limelight last week when he was a witness at Washington before the special House of Representatives committee investigating obscene literature. Case told at length of his work and experience in controlling objectionable publications. Case indicated, incidentally, that Detroit newspapers have been very cooperative with his group, going "so far as to cancel advertisements on certain shows and books." Amusement industry employes from all the 48 states admitted at no cost for TB core at WILL ROGERS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. TV Movie Show Gains Fast in Cleveland CLEVELAND—Lights—Camera—Questions, the first sustained theatre-sponsored TV show which on November 16 started a 13-week halfhour program every Sunday from 1 to 1:30 p. m. over TV station WXEL, shows tremendous audience growth in its brief life. The 50 questions submitted to the station after the initial broadcast doubled to 100 the second week and jumped to 200 the third week. All questions submitted either to the station or in theatre lobby boxes, must relate to some field of the motion picture industry. Everyone who submits a question used by the panel of theatre executives sponsoring the' show receives a pair of passes to one of the participating theatres. If the questioner^ stumps the experts he receives a prize drawn from a treasure chest. Each week a picture] of a film star is flashed on the screen, emcee 1 Bill Gordon propounds a question and the! listening audience is asked to submit the| identification of the star and a lOO-wordj answer to the question. A gasinator, a home rubbish disposal, is awarded to the writer of the letter adjudged the best of those submitted. Each participat ing theatre has a gasinator on display. Although the theatre executives have not yet detected a noticeable jump in theatre attendance as result of the TV program, they know, from the number of questions submitted each week that public interest in movies is on the march and they feel confident that material results will follow.
