f^eorge Turlukis, Hamilton exhibitor, plans<br />

a gimmick to get the patrons coming to<br />

his Ramona Drive-In,<br />

where he does not<br />

have in-car heaters.<br />

considerably lighter in weight and feeling<br />

fitter. Mandros operates the theatre in<br />

Cabin Creek, W. Va., and he was put on a<br />
