MINNEAPOLIS
Tn the 1930s, when Charlie Weuier. now with
UA here, was manager of the Pantages
and Capitol theatres in Winnipeg, Man., his
stage manager was Jack Byron. For the past
20 years, Weiner has had Byron as his yearly
and constant hunting companion, who,
Charlie says, taught him everything there
was to know about Canadian Honkers down
the line to Hungarian partridge. Rated as
the best shot in that neck of the woods, Byron
was an ideal hunting companion. But Charlie
now is disposing of all of his guns and there'll
be no more hunting seasons for him. Tlie
reason: Jack Byron was buried November 24
at Winnipeg.

With Lowell Kaplan and Charlie Rubenstein
now the Northwest Variety Club's new
entertainment committee, plenty of fun is in
store for club members. Already two big
parties are on the schedule. The first will be
December 9 and it'll be a big barn dance
with supplementary entertainment, and an
auction of apparel. Lowell and Chuck
guarantee a good time for all. A New Year's
eve party will be held in the clubrooms. Plan
to attend.
Weighing
B—
each situation individually, the
Minnesota Amusement Co. has decided upon
a 60-cent admission for its leading Mankato
theatre, the State, when that house reopens.
This represents a 10-cent boost in scale . . .
