BOXOFFICE Coverage of<br />
Show-A-Rama Praised<br />
Kansas City—In a letter to Ben<br />
Shlyen, publisher of BOXOFFICE,<br />
M. B. Smith, vice-president of Commonwealth<br />
Theatres and a co-chairman<br />
of the Show-A-Rama V conven-<br />
the United Theatre Owners of<br />
tion of<br />
America, praised and expressed appreciation<br />
of this publication's reporting<br />
of the convention. The letter<br />
follows:<br />
I must tell you how deeply impressed<br />
and amazed I was to scan BOXOFFICE<br />
this morning. Your coverage of Show-<br />
A-Rama V and your magnificent editorial<br />
simply stunned me. You and<br />
your terrific staff have again proved<br />
that you can accomplish the impossible.<br />
I do not know just how much or<br />
what the officers and directors of the<br />
United Theatre Owners of the Heart<br />
of America can do to prove how grateful<br />
and appreciative we are for the<br />
terrific detail and complete coverage<br />
you gave, and are giving, to what I<br />
think is the best exhibitor show in<br />
America. I doubt that you could ever<br />
be repaid properly—you have given so<br />
freely and wonderfully to the cause of<br />
showmanship.<br />
Your editorial, "Showmanship<br />
Alive!" is a beautiful and powerful<br />
piece of writing.<br />
You have covered well<br />
the spirit and the objectivity of Show-<br />
A-Rama.<br />
Please accept my compliments, and<br />
convey my good wishes to your staff<br />
for a magnificent coverage of the show.<br />
