THE PRODUCT RECORD<br />
UNMISTAKABLE evidence of the improved<br />
quality in motion pictures<br />
is contained in their performances at<br />
boxoffices around the nation. And there<br />
are some signs which the record of the<br />
1964-65 season brings out that are equally<br />
significant.<br />
Total output of feature releases was<br />
slightly below that of the previous season.<br />
Percentagewise, however, the grossing<br />
record shows a gain among the films<br />
scoring in the hit class and, both m point<br />
of number and percentagewise, there was<br />
an increase in the list of films whose performance<br />
was average or better. Furthermore,<br />
the reports from the various production<br />
and distribution companies, setting<br />
forth their line-ups of product for<br />
the ensuing season and beyond, indicate<br />
the uptrend will continue These and<br />
other statistical facts are brought out in<br />
the current Barometer Edition of <strong>Boxoffice</strong>,<br />
which is in its 29th year of publication.<br />
The record shows 79 features scored in<br />
the highest brackets, with ratings from<br />
150 per cent to 387 per cent, in 1964-65,<br />
of which 28 were above the 200 per cenl<br />
mark, compared with 77 and 23, in those<br />
respective brackets, in 1963-64.<br />
Also noteworthy is the fact thai the<br />
output was given a substantial boost by<br />
the increase in product derived from<br />
foreign sources, continuing a trend begun<br />
several years ago. And this can be<br />
expected to move ahead with each succeeding<br />
year, due to the growing trend of<br />
participation by American compa<br />
co-production activity with filmmakers<br />
m foreign countries. Where such films<br />
are made in a foreign Language, Englishdubbing<br />
has rendered them wider in ap-<br />
American and Canadian theahis<br />
has given many features, that<br />
otherwise would be Limit d to ari house<br />
luns . ,,n= alar" houses. A con-<br />
of good attractions<br />
us accrued. Some oi these films<br />
have had extraordinary boxoffice success<br />
m a number of cases.<br />
rend toward Independent production,<br />
which, everj American studio has<br />
embraced, in greater or Li<br />
Muficant<br />
both on the quality and quaneature<br />
production And. of course,<br />
this is shown in the perfoi<br />
No breakdown has been made<br />
proportion of such product to that which<br />
came from the companies' own studios.<br />
Bui .. curj oi . al thi til les of the<br />
pictures Ln the higher-scoring brackets<br />
gives the independents somewhat of an<br />
i<br />
edge still the hulk of consistent<br />
playable product lor the majority of U.S.<br />
and Canadian theatres has come from<br />
the regular studio sources.<br />
This has also been evident in Lndi pendent<br />
distribution, which has benefited<br />
from the stepped-up production activity<br />
designed especially for this field. Socalled<br />
states rights or independent exoutlets<br />
have been strengthened<br />
by the availability of a greater selectivity<br />
of product. By thus enhancing the potential<br />
of these companies, it ha<br />
exhibitors as well and made possible the<br />
improvement in output and quality of<br />
product by independent filmmakers.<br />
The current and still continuing popuries,<br />
both<br />
straight and of the spoof variety, which<br />
reached a peak this past season, may<br />
give the impression that then rj<br />
dearth of other types of films available<br />
for the ensuing season. The fact is that<br />
Dure will be plenty of the variables in<br />
.story properties to cater to every taste.<br />
ii ii company-by-company Listings in<br />
Barometeb of feature product scheduled<br />
for the remainder ol th< currenl season,<br />
and well into next, give assurai.<br />
good proportion of comedy, spectacle,<br />
fantasy, horror, novelty, romance and<br />
drama for appeal to the varied tastes of<br />
the mass public Ln all age brackets. Moreover,<br />
it is encouraging to note thai a<br />
great many of the forthcoming films are<br />
completed "or in well-advanced stages of<br />
production.<br />

the product story of the season past,<br />

Pay TV for Los Angeles<br />
Kaiser Broadcasting,<br />
Zenith in Agreement<br />
HOLLYWOOD—The Kaiser Broadcasting<br />
Corp. this week announced its intention<br />
to enter the pay television field after<br />
signing an option for the Los A<br />
franchise of the Zenith Radio Corp.<br />
Phonevision system of subscription TV.<br />
Pieter E. van Beek. general manager of<br />
Teco. Inc.. licensed by Zenith to d<br />
the pay system originally introduced In an<br />
experimental stage almost 15 years ago,<br />
signed the option with Richard C. Block,<br />
vice-president of the Kaiser company.<br />
Development of the pay TV franchise,<br />
however, remains contingent on two factors.<br />
One is the upcoming California Supreme<br />
Court decision on the constitutionality<br />
of the state referendum in November<br />
1964 ill which pay television was OU<br />
by the voters. This decision is expected to<br />
be forthcoming next month.<br />
The second factor concerns the Federal<br />
Communications Commission ruling on the<br />
Phonevision system which has been tried<br />
in Hartford. Conn., and on a Zenith-Teco<br />
petition to the FCC seeking authorization<br />
of nationwide subscription television.<br />
Kaiser Broadcasting now is const m<br />
KMTW, channel 52. at Corona, about 60<br />
miles from Los Angeles, which is scheduled<br />
to begin regular telecasts on June 15. Block<br />
said the Phonevision pay TV would be<br />
utilized as a supplement to the service to<br />
be provided by the station, a UHF installation.<br />
Block pointed out that the Los Angeles<br />
area soon will have a total of 12<br />
commercial TV stations and that programing<br />
on a subscription basis "could make a<br />
unique contribution to the variety of<br />
service<br />
available to the area."<br />
Though the KMTW antenna tower, located<br />
on Mount Wilson, is aimed toward<br />
Corona, the tower is situated where all<br />
Los Angeles TV stations send their signals.<br />
It is about 5.000 feet in the air and the<br />
of the signal could cover almost<br />
8 000.000 people in the area.<br />
Because of the terrain of the Los Angeles<br />
area, with community antenna systems<br />
delivering the signals to remote areas, the<br />
over-the-air system would be economically<br />
in a better position to capitalize<br />
TV than the wired system utilizing telephone<br />
poles. Cost per installation to the<br />
home is expected to be much less, due to<br />
simpler conditions for getting the signal<br />
into the home set.<br />

JN A STATEMENT dealing with its general<br />
prospects and in answer to reports<br />
that it was ripe for a take-over bid. British<br />
Lion declared through its chairman Lord<br />
Goodman that it would not be taken over<br />
and that on the basis of current trading,<br />
the results for the year up to March 1966<br />
would show a profit after the discharge of<br />
all obligations, including debenture interest.<br />
The board, in a strongly worded rebuttal<br />
of reports appearing in the tradepress,<br />
went on to say that "the only offer<br />
that has been received affected approximately<br />
83 per cent of the company's unquoted<br />
ordinary shares and did not include<br />
the debentures held by the public at<br />
large. The offer was acceptable and would,<br />
in any event, have required governmental<br />
approval. -'British Lion will, however, be<br />
reducing its output of films, bearing in<br />
mind," said the company statement, "the<br />
recent unhappy situation disclosed by John<br />
Davis that today eight out of ten British<br />
films lose money." The board concluded its<br />
statement with these words: "On the basis<br />
of current trading, the results to March<br />
1966 will, after the discharge of all obligations<br />
including debenture interest, disclose<br />
a profit for the year. The company's liquid<br />
resources are amply sufficient for the purpose<br />
of its business."<br />
British cinemas soon may begin thennew<br />
programs in the middle of the week<br />
instead of Sunday or Monday. The reason:<br />
the shorter working week and the growing<br />
problem of film dispatch. So declared Fred<br />
Thomas, managing director of the Rank<br />
Organization in a speech to midland theatre<br />
owners last week. Thomas said that<br />
in the west end of London and in many<br />
cities in other countries, cinemas preferred<br />
to start their new films midweek because it<br />
helped to build up better business by the<br />
weekend. The introduction of a similar<br />
Plan in the provinces might be considered<br />
for the same reason—getting a better trading<br />
week. As the working week got shorter<br />
the industry might be forced to change the<br />
opening day for films because of the<br />
Physical problem of dispatch. "The idea of<br />
Saturday working in order to get films out<br />
for a Sunday start is getting less and less<br />
attractive to our hard working dispatch<br />
staff," he added.<br />

Herbert Farmer Speaks<br />
At Calvin Workshop<br />
From Central Edition<br />
F<br />
KANSAS CITY—"A person with a degree<br />
has a much better chance of at least<br />
being considered for a Hollywood job than<br />
someone without a degree," said Herbert<br />
E. Farmer of the cinema department of<br />
the University of Southern California, a<br />
speaker at one of the three-day filmmaking<br />
workshop sessions at Calvin Productions,<br />
Inc., which closed Wednesday (9).<br />
Formal training and education aren't the<br />
only keys to entering the industry, he believes,<br />
but "there are no better ones."<br />
Farmer is among the relatively few<br />
educators in an academic field that is<br />
growing in importance. Universities which<br />
offer courses in motion picture writing,<br />
cinemaphotography and related subjects<br />
are not numerous enough to be counted<br />
on the fingers of one hand, he said, but<br />
major studios are increasingly looking to<br />
them for personnel. Also, young people<br />
are finding that such training combined<br />
with a broad liberal arts background is<br />
an excellent way to develop talents quickly.<br />
In the fall Farmer spent several weeks<br />
studying the Soviet Union film industry<br />
and said the trip both saddened and impressed<br />
him. He said Russian cinema is<br />
governed by a state committee headed by<br />
an official who has status equal to that<br />
of the secretary of agriculture in the<br />
Urn ted States. The industry is totally supported<br />
by the government and is virtually<br />
self-sufficient, he added.<br />
The Russians are roughly parallel to the<br />
best filmmakers in the free world, but in<br />
certain technical respects they are behind<br />
them.<br />
London filmgoers are turning out in<br />
record numbers to see "Life at the Top."<br />

Metro Twin Theatres<br />
KANSAS CITY—Construction of twin<br />
motion picture theatres, Metro I and II.<br />
to serve the southeastern area of the city.<br />
begins immediately in the Metro Plaza<br />
Shopping Center under plans announced<br />
by Stanley H. Durwood. president of Durwood<br />
Theatres.<br />
The new theatres will become the thud<br />
set of twin theatres operated here by the<br />
circuit. The Parkway I and II in the Ward<br />
Parkway Shopping Center on the far<br />
south side introduced twin theatres to this<br />
area in May 1963. The Embassy Theatres<br />
were opened in the mid-town Country Club<br />
Plaza in the summer of 1964.<br />
The present first-mn policy at the Embassy<br />
Theatres is devised to offer a patron<br />
the opportunity to select a show time that<br />
fits his convenience, with a feature beginning<br />
approximately every hour. Planned<br />
for an early summer opening, the Metro<br />
Theatres will have a flexible policy—patterned<br />
for the Parkway and the Embassy<br />
plans, offering first-run productions or<br />
selected subsequent runs, according to M.<br />
Robert Goodfriend. general manager of<br />
Durwood Kansas City Theatres.<br />
The site for the twins is adjacent to a<br />
supermarket and has an 85-foot frontage,<br />
with a total of 8.500 square feet. The seatui»<br />
capacity will be about 800. The cost of<br />
the project wiU be in excess of $200,000.<br />
Durwood said.<br />
Importance is being given to seating,<br />
which will be of the luxury type, with widespaced<br />
rows similar to that of the Embassy<br />
Theatres. The design will be contemporary.<br />
with extensive use of wood paneling, tile.<br />
brick and wrought iron.<br />
The auditoriums will be served by a common<br />
lobby of sunken design, with a front<br />
enclosed with solarized glass. Ample parking<br />
will be provided by the shopping center<br />
parking area.<br />
Sound and projection will include the<br />
latent developments with equipment to<br />
present all special projection and widescreen<br />
types, except Cinerama. Particularly<br />
large screens are planned for both<br />
houses.<br />
The lease for ten years was arranged<br />

Confusion in Dallas<br />
Over '5-Day'<br />
Rule<br />
From Southwest Edition<br />
DALLAS—Movie classification has run<br />
into another problem here—this time over<br />
the ordinance provision that the city's<br />
film board classification must be made<br />
within five days after the theatres' suggested<br />
ratings are filed.<br />
The question is, when does the five-day<br />
period begin and end?<br />
Attorneys for city exhibitors contend<br />
i hat the period begins from the time of<br />
notification of the proposed classification<br />
and that if the city film board wants a<br />
screening of any movie under consideration,<br />
then the theatres will comply within<br />
tins same five-day period.<br />
N. Alex Bickley. city attorney, claims<br />
that the board may take one of three possible<br />
actions during the time—either classify<br />
films as suitable or unsuitable for<br />
young people or request a screening. If<br />
Hi. screening cannot be held in the fiveday<br />
period. Bickley contends this then does<br />
not violate the city ordinance.<br />
The city attorney believes the issue may<br />
be resolved several ways. Bickley and the<br />
exhibitors' attorneys may work out a solution<br />
in a private meeting, an amendment<br />
to the ordinance could be passed to make<br />
the city's intention more specific or a<br />
court decision may be sought.<br />
Latest classifications by the board include:<br />
Unsuitable for Young Persons 1 16<br />
and under'<br />
— "Viva Maria." "The Silencers."<br />
"Blood and Black Lace" and "I'll<br />
Take Sweden."<br />
Suitable — "The Train," "The Nanny."<br />
"War Party." "How to Murder Your Wife."<br />
"Strange Bedfellows." "That Man in Istanbul,"<br />
"Moment to Moment" and "Inside<br />
Daisy Clover."<br />
"The World of Suzie Wong" was set<br />
aside for a screening and additional data<br />

RALEIGH. N.C.—Ken Finlay, manager<br />
of the Varsity Theatre here, described as<br />
"fantastic" the number of patrons who<br />
turned out for the screenings of "An Evening<br />
With the Royal Ballet."<br />
The film ran for four days. "Opening<br />
night wasn't too good." said Finlay, "because<br />
we were competing with the opera<br />
presentation at the Coliseum. But after<br />
that it was fantastic. It grew every day:<br />
in fact, it almost doubled every day."<br />
Finlay credits "word of mouth" for the<br />
reception the picture got in Raleigh.<br />
"I was scared to death when it opened,"<br />
he said, "because interest in ballet is so<br />
limited. But I soon became very much<br />
enthused."<br />
Finlay estimated that about 1.600 people<br />
turned out for the 12 performances of the<br />
film. A mother and daughter saw all 12<br />
shows, he said, and two other people saw<br />
ten performances apiece.<br />
The Varsity manager said there was applause<br />
at most of the shows, especially<br />
when Rudolf Nureyev made his worldfamous<br />
leaps.<br />

Wolfberg Into Court Over<br />
Adverse Zoning Ruling<br />
From Western Edition<br />
DENVER—The matter of whether the<br />
Bear Valley Drive-In, a subsidiary of Wolfberg<br />
Theatres, will be able to build a drivein<br />
on 19 acres of ground, has gone into<br />
the courts. The attorney for the drive-in<br />
has been instructed by Tom Smiley, general<br />
manager for Wolfberg Theatres, to<br />
pursue the matter vigorously.<br />
Last year Wolfberg Theatres paid $185,000<br />
for 26 acres and secured a zoning to allow<br />
a 1.000-car drive-in to be built. Some<br />
nearby schools and colleges, along with<br />
numerous individuals and civic associations,<br />
won a reversal of the zoning.<br />
The reversal was made because a portion<br />
of the land was to be used for a filling station.<br />
This reversal is the subject of the<br />
lawsuit.<br />

Memphis Pondering<br />
Filmrow's Future<br />
MEMPHIS—Is Memphis Filmrow moving<br />
uptown? Or will It bo divided In the<br />
future?<br />
That's the question being discussed<br />
whenever exhibitors or distributors gather<br />
in the Memphis trade territory.<br />
There are pro and con arguments.<br />
The Warner Bros, exchange made the<br />
first move. On December 4, the exchange<br />
was moved to Room 946 in the new 40-<br />
story 100 North Main Street Building.<br />
Then, on February 5. Paramount moved<br />
its exchange across the hall from Warner<br />
in Room 925. also on the ninth floor of<br />
the city's tallest skyscraper. Other exchanges<br />
are studying leases and discussing<br />
mining. At least one is expected to make<br />
an announcement within a month.<br />
Filmrow, for many years, has been in<br />
the southern part of the downtown urea<br />
The section is run down, except for a new<br />
building here and there—such as an exchange<br />
or a branch bank. However<br />
Variety's new luxury quarters in Hotel<br />
Chisca-Plaza is within a short walk of all<br />
exchanges.<br />
The new 100 North Mam Street Building<br />
is in the new Civic Center. It has a river<br />
view, fine restaurants, a revolving bar on<br />
top. a swimming pool, athletic club and<br />
built-in parking.<br />
Wheeling, 111., Attorney<br />
To Protest M&R Airer<br />
Centi Edit<br />
WHEELING. ILL.—Intention to file a<br />
protest against a proposed drive-in here<br />
was voiced by village attorney Paul Hamer<br />
following a hearing before the Cook County<br />
zoning board of appeals.<br />
Hamer said the objection would be filed<br />
on the grounds that the proposed airer<br />
would create traffic and moral problems<br />
for the village.<br />
M&R Amusement Co.. Chicago, is seeking<br />
a special use permit from Cook County to<br />
construct and operate the theatre. The<br />
site desired is a tract near the southwest<br />
corner of Hintz and Milwaukee, within the<br />
village's planning radius.<br />
Phillip Toontin. attorney for the circuit,<br />
told the village board that M&R operates<br />
many theatres in the Chicago area and<br />
hence is familiar with the problems involved<br />
in operating outdoor theatres. He<br />
pointed out that the circuit's drive-in al<br />
Skokie. for instance, has presented no<br />
moral or traffic problems for that village's<br />
police department.<br />

four-hour flick. In its five-day holdover<br />
May. the film has played to more than<br />
2,500 Raleighites. mostly children.<br />
'The kids have been the biggest patrons,"<br />
said Varsity Manager Ken Finlay.<br />
"although thiii have been an amazing<br />
number of adults. I guess the kids outnumbered<br />
the rest by about 10 to 1."<br />
Saturday was the big day. "We ran<br />
through three shifts of staff and four projectionists,"<br />
Finlay said. "And the kids<br />
really ate! The concession business was<br />
fabulous. We must have sold 1.000 boxes<br />
of popcorn."<br />
Finlay said many of the patrons stayed<br />
through more than one showing. "One little<br />
boy came in at 10 a.m. and his mother<br />
re looking for him at 10 p.m. And<br />
after 12 hours, he was begging to stay and<br />
see a little more when his mother finally<br />
dragged him out." Finlay said.<br />
But with the later showings came older<br />
patrons, Finlay said one elderly man and<br />
woman came because they had seen every<br />
episode when the serial was released originally<br />

member of the board, told the court that<br />
"sacrilege" was the reason for the classification<br />
of "Viva Maria" as unsuitable for<br />
children, citing the film's showing of<br />
clergymen engaging in violence during a<br />
revolution in Central America.<br />
Attorneys for Interstate and United<br />
Artists, distributor of the picture, contended<br />
that the Dallas classification ordinance<br />
restricts free speech and discriminates<br />
against commercial theatres in violation<br />
of the 4th Amendment provision<br />
guaranteeing equal protection of the laws.<br />
Judge Stout said, "I realize you gentlemen<br />
might be right. But parts of the film<br />
look to me like they might be unsuitable<br />
for young people." The picture was<br />
screened for the court on Friday.<br />
Grover Hartt. counsel for Rowley United,<br />
argued that the horror depicted in "Blood<br />
and Black Lace" would tend to discourage,<br />
rather than encourage, youngsters to commit<br />
murder, after Dan R. Eddy jr., chairman<br />
of the classification board, said. "We<br />
don't want children leaving the theatre<br />
with the idea that torture or crime is<br />
glamorous or fun."<br />
The court ruling on "Viva Maria" does<br />
not halt its showing in Dallas, but will<br />
force exhibitors to advertise the picture<br />
as "not suitable for young persons."<br />
Meantime, the film classification board<br />
announced that it reviewed 53 films last<br />
week, classifying five more as unsuitable<br />
for persons under 16 unaccompanied by a<br />
parent. The five are "The World of Suzie<br />
Wong," "The Oscar," "The Collector,"<br />

The board also requested additional information<br />

so the board merely watched the<br />

Nebraska Teni Buys<br />
2nd Sunshine Coach<br />
OMAHA—The local film community,<br />
along with all other Nebraskans, welcomed<br />
the announcement that a second Sunshine<br />
Coach has been provided by Variety Tent<br />
16. This Coach is to be made available for<br />
handicapped children and elderly persons<br />
in the Lincoln area sometime this spring.<br />
At the Man-of-the-Year Awards dinner<br />
last week for University of Nebraska head<br />
coach Bob Devaney, it was revealed that<br />
Comhusker Sunshine Coach No. 2 will be<br />
assigned to the orthopedic hospital at th(<br />
state capital. A Lincoln committee of<br />
Variety Club members will oversee the use<br />
of the bus there, just as a committee of<br />
barkers looks after Sunshine Coach No. 1.<br />
which is based at Children's Memorial<br />
Hospital in Omaha.<br />
Tent 16. of course, will take care of all<br />
operational costs of both buses. Arnold<br />
Stern pointed out that this includes paying<br />
for the driver and all expenses, such as insurance,<br />
fees, maintenance and the like.<br />
At the Devaney dinner, Mort Ives, Tent<br />
16 chief barker, announced that the purchase<br />
of both Sunshine vehicles was made<br />
possible through the assistance of the Eugene<br />
C. Eppley Foundation. The Cooper<br />
Foundation, headquartered in Lincoln, also<br />
aided in the acquisition of the Sunshine<br />
Coach for that city.<br />
Youth Advisory Group<br />
To Publish Film Guide<br />
From Southeast Edition<br />
CORAL GABLES. FLA.—The local youth<br />
advisory committee, established by the city<br />
commission last summer when members objected<br />
to the "sexy" movie fare on view at<br />
the city's theatres, announces a movie<br />
guide, to inform parents which pictures are<br />
adult fare and which are "good, clean fun,"<br />
will be the first project of the committee.<br />
Temporary chairman of the group, attorney<br />
Charles T. Branham, said the committee<br />
has agreed the guide will be a good<br />
thing for the city and an even better thing<br />
if it extends throughout the country. He<br />
said the committee hopes to pattern the<br />
guide after one originated in Riverside,<br />
Calif., which lists movies in local newspapers,<br />
giving ratings of six national rating<br />
services. Among the services are the National<br />
Catholic Office and the California<br />
PTA film review board.<br />
The committee plans a luncheon meeting<br />
with city commissioners and two members<br />
of the stab attorney's staff for the<br />
near future. Branham said assistant<br />
attorneys Paul Baker and Morton Lee Perry<br />
will discuss pornographic literature, objectionable<br />

At Jacksonville Museum<br />
Edit<br />
JACKSONVILLE—The Jacksonville Art<br />
Museum has entered the field of presenting<br />
art films which have been offered<br />
to the local public for many years only<br />
by the San Marco Art Theatre. The museum's<br />
screen programs, shown free to<br />
members, are scheduled on alternate<br />
Thursday nights only in Studio M at 4128<br />
Herschel St.<br />
A feature article on the museum's<br />
screen policy was authored by Yvonne<br />
Parker and ran in the Jacksonville Journal<br />
of February 10. Miss Parker, who is probably<br />
recognized as the most authoritative<br />
arts writer in the city, acknowledges that<br />
"the movies" constitute a valid art form,<br />
an opinion long held by patrons of the<br />
San Marco.<br />
She wrote: "For a long time the movies<br />
were considered too popular to be art. But<br />
now they're the coming thing, a true expression<br />
of the 20th Century, and a 16mm<br />
camera is as valid as a paint brush." The<br />
films shown at the local museum are<br />
drawn from the Museum of Modern Art<br />
in New York and from similar sources.<br />
Among those being shown this season are<br />
"Rocco and His Brothers," "Girl With<br />
Green Eyes" and "Five British Sculptors<br />
Work and Talk."<br />
Frozen Pipe Causes Flood<br />
At Durham Rialto Theatre<br />
From Southeast Edition<br />
DURHAM, N. C.—The Rialto Theatre<br />
on East Main Street here is still feeling<br />
the effects of a flash flood that hit the<br />
art house on a Saturday night two weeks<br />
ago.<br />
Firemen were called in to assist in pumping<br />
water out of the building and Capt.<br />
H. L. O'Brien attributed the cause to a<br />
broken water pipe which had been frozen.<br />
The pipe was in the stage area and became<br />
frozen when the building's heating<br />
system went off during the night.<br />
The water reached a depth of eight feet<br />
at its highest point and about half of the<br />
350 seats were flooded.<br />
Maggie Dent, manager of the theatre,<br />
said Sunday (13) estimates of the damage<br />
are still being made. The flooding occurred<br />
January 29.<br />
Several days were required for the seats<br />
to dry out. When the theatre reopened<br />
February 2, the balcony seats alone were<br />
used at first. Only the balcony and stage<br />
areas escaped the flood.<br />

Attorney James K. Dorsett. repre i<br />
the Southeastern Cablevision Co..<br />
clients are ready and waiting to set such<br />

questions are resolved.<br />
Opponents of cablevision Eor R<br />
are preps ipeal to the Stale Supreme<br />
Court from the findings ot a Superior<br />
Court judge who found valid the<br />
city's ordinance allowing the CATV lines<br />
to be strung along the street rights of way.<br />
Richard Gamble, attorney for the television<br />
equipment servicemen who oppose<br />
CATV, said the appeal is in preparation.<br />
It is expected to be heard during the Supreme<br />
Court's spring term.<br />
Opponents of cablevision maintain the<br />
city's ordinance is unconstitutional b<br />
it purports to grant a privilege to a company<br />
for a purely private purpose and permits<br />
an unlawful diversion of the use of<br />
public streets.<br />
Those opposed have also argued that the<br />
city council has no authority to re<br />
and license such utilities as cablevision.<br />
Gamble's clients have fought long and<br />
hard against CATV here, first oppo ii<br />
city council's action in passing the ordinance,<br />
then attempting unsuccessfully to<br />
force a referendum on the issue and finally<br />
resorting to court Su<br />
Asked if Southeastern Cablevision officials<br />
have been concerned about the FCC's<br />

antenna television, Dorsett said he does<br />
not think the company—since it is not yet<br />
In business—has expressed any worry over<br />

100 years ago, people didn't know much<br />
about the mentally retarded.<br />
So they shut them away.<br />
But with what we now know,<br />
85% of them could help support themselves<br />
with proper training.<br />
So why don't we let them?<br />
There's only one right answer:<br />
Ignorance. Plain, old-fashioned ignorance.<br />
Ignorance about just what a mentally retarded<br />
person is.<br />
Ignorance which says the retarded is someone to<br />
be locked away. To be ashamed of. To be ignored.<br />
That's what he's not.<br />
What he is, is one of the 5 > million mentally retarded<br />
people in the United States. (126,000 more<br />
are born each year who will become retarded.<br />
I<br />
He is a person whose mind— through no fault of<br />
his own— stopped growing long before it should<br />
have.<br />
He is a person who can be helped.<br />
He is a person who might have been born completely<br />
normal if we had only acted a little faster.<br />
Because with what we now know and with a little<br />
help, we could cut mental retardation in half.<br />
Here are six things you can do now to help prevent<br />
mental retardation and bring new hope to<br />
the5V2millionpeoplewhosemindsareretarded:<br />
1. If you expect a baby, stay under a doctor's or a hospital's<br />
care. Urge all expectant mothers to do so.<br />
2. Visit local schools and urge them to provide special<br />
teachers and special classes to identify and help mentally<br />
retarded children early in their lives.<br />
3. Urge your community to set up workshops to train<br />
retardates who are capable of employment.<br />
4. Select jobs in your company that the mentally retarded<br />
can fill, and hire them.<br />
5. Accept the mentally retarded as American citizens.<br />
Give them a chance to live useful, dignified lives in your<br />
community.<br />
6. Write for the free booklet to the President's /jm"*-.<br />

Home Town Boy Has Faith in Small<br />
Town Theatre: 'Upward and Onward'<br />
1<br />
By ALLEN M. WIDEM<br />
WINSTED, CONN. — The disinterested<br />
spectator may well ask why a secondgeneration<br />
exhibition executive would<br />
want to come back to his home town and<br />
reopen a theatre that's traditionally<br />
provided, at best, a slim margin of profit.<br />
And, from John Scanlon Ill's view, it's<br />
nothing but upward and onward for an<br />
individual theatre operator, provided he's<br />
of the mind that resolutely asserts a smalltown<br />
population) theatre can be<br />
profitably operated and, moreover, renew<br />
a sizable rural region's support of theatrical<br />
exhibition.<br />
Scanlon, whose father was long a district<br />
manager for Warner Bros. Thea-<br />
has assumed command of the Strand<br />
tres,<br />
Theatre in this Litchfield Hills town, 25<br />
miles north of Hartford. The previous<br />
tenant (Winsted interests own the structure)<br />
was Mrs. Lucille Cuddy.<br />
What makes John Scanlon HI think<br />
he can make the Strand a profitable operation?<br />
For one thing, he's a home-town boy.<br />
Just about everybody of influence knows<br />
him from his youthful days.<br />
For another, he's picked up a number<br />
practical functioning ideas in show-<br />
of<br />
manship, after recently working as Danbury<br />
city manager for Stanley Warner<br />
Theatres, which, of course, is the successor<br />
organization to his late dad's employer.<br />
Showmanship? Advertising — getting<br />
the most said in the least spaceand<br />
promotion tie-ups on practically a<br />
constant basis with the most progressive<br />
minds in the community came in<br />
steady use during Scanlon's months in<br />
the Danbury area.<br />
The initial newspaper ad for the Scanlon-Strand<br />
management, appearing in the<br />
town's sole newspaper. The Evening Citizen,<br />
asserted: "Reopening—and Your Support<br />
Will Be Appreciated!"<br />
In conversation with townspeople, Scanlon<br />
has let it be known that a strongly<br />
supported motion picture theatre in the<br />
heart of Winsted can contribute, most<br />
vitally, to the town's economy. He's told<br />
the people-who-care that support of the<br />
Strand will bring more people into the<br />
heart of a city that, like many towns in<br />
the general periphery of U.S. metropolitan<br />
centers, can stand to lose much money because<br />
of greater bargains to be derived<br />
in bigger-city shopping.<br />
The Evening Citizen's management, as<br />
cognizant of the need to support Winsted<br />
business as anybody, is backing the<br />
Strand's reopening through choicely worded<br />
stories and, for that matter, making<br />
sure that the Scanlon lx2-ineh by onecolumn<br />
ads get proper position in a page<br />
that passes for amusements news by<br />
Winsted standards.<br />
Scanlon's reopening attraction was 20th-<br />
Fox's "The Nanny," supported by the<br />
same distributor's "The Reward." He followed<br />
this booking with a Paramount<br />
horror bill consisting of "The Skull" and<br />
"The Mad Executioner" and then played<br />
a double Universal program ("The Ipcress<br />
File" and "That Funny Feeling").<br />
The first Saturday he was open, he had<br />
a kiddies matinee at 2 p.m. On the screen<br />
were 20th-Fox's "Island of Blue Dolphins"<br />
and four color cartoons.<br />
Every ad contains the theatre's phone<br />
number plus running time of evening's<br />
performances.<br />
The townspeople, <strong>Boxoffice</strong> has found,<br />
are coming out definitely for sustained<br />
support of the Strand. The talk is enthusiastic<br />
in the town's center. And Scanlon?<br />
He's "talking it up" and extremely<br />
hopeful that this time the Strand's marquee<br />
WILL stay lighted!<br />
Scanlon's not bashful when it comes<br />
to promulgating the town citizenry's support.<br />
His advertising approach is succinct:<br />
"Your Support Will Not Only Keep the<br />
Theatre Open But Will Aid the New Management<br />
in Making Improvements Necessary<br />
for Your Comfort!"<br />
DOING GREAT BUSINESS!!<br />
AN OVERFLOW<br />
OF PLEASURE!<br />

Local 223 Picketing<br />
New Providence Twin<br />
EAST PROVIDENCE—The Four Si<br />
Cinemas are being picketed by Local 223<br />
of the Motion Picture Operators Union and<br />
will continue to be "as long as necessary,"<br />
according to Herbert P. Slater, the local's<br />
business agent.<br />
The local wants the theatres to hire<br />
union projectionists. Picketing began January<br />
13, the day after the new twin theatres<br />
opened. Slater said the local did not<br />
picket nn opening day out of consideration<br />
to the Heart Fund, which benefited from<br />
the performance.<br />
Joseph G. Jarvis, Four Seasons mania!<br />
that negotiations with the union<br />
would have to be with the owner. Esquire<br />
es of America, Boston. Jarvis said<br />
he did not know whether the local had<br />
been in touch with Esquire executives.<br />
Slater explained that the union requires<br />
projectionists and a relief man share<br />
$325 for every ten showings. According to<br />
Jarvis, the Four Seasons employ two projectionists<br />
and a relief man. He did no1<br />
disclose salaries paid.<br />
Meanwhile, the Four Seasons Cinemas<br />
have been doing excellent business, as<br />
evidenced by a full-page ad the management<br />
bought in the theatre section of the<br />
Providence Sunday Journal. The page was<br />
headed: "SRO at Rhode Island's New Twin<br />
Cinemas" and "Can a Theatre Do Too<br />
Much Business?"<br />
The announcement. complete with<br />
photos showing crowds standing in line to<br />
buy tickets at the twin cinemas, concluded:<br />
You Know It If You've Been to the Four<br />
Seasons Cinemas Lately."<br />
Only rarely in recent years has a local<br />
theatre purchased such a large segment of<br />
newspaper space. The ad carried titles of<br />
current attractions. "The Great Race" and<br />
"The 10th Victim." and announced the<br />

Columbia Motorizes<br />
Stunt for 'Silencers'<br />
To promote "The Silencers," Columbia<br />
Pictures used one of the largest motorized<br />
props ever devised for a film. In cooperation<br />
with Allied Van Lines, a huge,<br />
uniquely designed vehicle, which looks like<br />
a regular moving van, made a 7,500-mile,<br />
20-city tour to build up the curiosity of<br />
filmgoers. As utilized in the Dean Martin<br />
starrer, the van actually is the mobile<br />
headquarters for "Big O," the nefarious<br />
organization which plots world conquest.<br />
Refurbished at considerable expense into<br />
an attention-getting, motorized ballyhoo,<br />
the van was displayed at key shopping<br />
centers, in front of major department<br />
stores or in front of theatres where "The<br />
Silencers" will open. In Atlanta, where the<br />
tour began, the picture is to open at<br />
Meiselman's Cherokee on March 11.<br />
Other cities on the tour included Miami,<br />
New Orleans, Houston. Dallas, Fort Worth.<br />
Chicago. Cincinnati. Washington. Baltimore,<br />
Philadelphia. Boston, New York.<br />
Cleveland. Detroit, Toledo, Indianapolis.<br />
St. Louis, Des Moines and Omaha.<br />
About 750,000 heralds describing the<br />
van's role in the film were distributed by<br />
local "Slaygirls" stationed with the van.<br />
The vehicle has three projection screens<br />
recessed into the side walls for rear projection<br />
that can be viewed from the outside.<br />
The screens showed a special 8mm<br />
film clip narrated by Martin. All switches<br />
operating the various mechanisms in the<br />
van are controlled through a remote control<br />
system using special radio equipment.<br />
These include rear doors, windows, a disappearing<br />
turret, tape recorder and movie<br />
In Wilkes-Barre. Pa., it paid women to<br />
look into store windows. As part of the<br />
MGM promotion for "7 Women." the<br />
names of seven local women were chosen<br />
from the phone book and posted in the<br />
main window of Mayfare's store. Those<br />
women listed who came in and identified<br />
themselves received guest passes to the<br />

Exploitation, Group Sales Campaigns Set<br />
Pace for Greatest Story' Buffalo Bow<br />
When Carl E. Schaner opened "The<br />
Greatest Story Ever Told" at the Century<br />
Theatre in downtown Buffalo he used an<br />
extensive exploitation and group sales<br />
campaign, assisted in the latter by Earl L.<br />
Hubbard, who has been working in this<br />
phase of film presentations for many years.<br />
The premiere on Wednesday (16) was<br />
being sponsored by the Greater Buffalo<br />
Advertising Club, which gave it an advance<br />
build up. too. The club publicized the premiere<br />
for several weeks in its weekly publication,<br />
Ad-Vents, with stories and art and<br />
in one edition used a page insert with details<br />
of the event on the front and back.<br />
On the night of the premiere, the theatre<br />
and the club arranged with Muck<br />
Motors and the Ford Motor Co. to put on a<br />
special premiere cavalcade, a parade of<br />
many new Fords that started for the Century<br />
from the front of the Statler-Hilton,<br />
carrying city officials, officers and members<br />
of the ad club. Each car was appropriately<br />
bannered. The club arranged<br />
to have the proceeds of the premiere go to<br />
the Birth Defects Clinic under the guidance<br />
of the local March of Dimes chapter.<br />
A red carpet was spread from the theatre<br />
entrance to the curb on opening night.<br />
Searchlights threw their beams into the<br />
skies from the Century front. Flowers<br />
were everywhere in the inside lobby, where<br />
a local church choir sang, accompanied by<br />
an organ (portable) . officials and<br />
local radio and TV personalities were inedin<br />
the lobby.<br />
There was a special screening for nuns<br />
of the city on the Saturday preceding the<br />
opening, which brought the picture a lot<br />
of good word-of-mouth publicity. Four<br />
theatres cross-plugged the picture with<br />
projectors.<br />
As the van reached its destination in<br />
each city, a helicopter landed on top of its<br />
specially reinforced roof with a local official<br />
who welcomed the arrival of the van<br />
Allied Van Lines further cooperated with trailers on their screens and also used<br />
Columbia via a national ad campaign in 40x60s in their lobbies, with ticket order<br />
Life tying in with the picture, with additional<br />
simultaneously<br />
forms available.<br />
ads for newspapers, run The Statler-Hilton and the Lafayette<br />
with local playdates. In addition. hotels used big displays in their windows<br />
truck posters on the film are being displayed<br />
and there also were eye-catching displays<br />
The<br />
by the company's vehicles.<br />
in two outside ticket agencies. Sears<br />
stores in Buffalo and near-by cities mailed<br />
10.000 order blanks and heralds to customers.<br />
One-hundred wbidow cards were<br />
7 Named for Passes<br />
placed throughout the city. The Buffalo<br />
Courier- Express used a two-page pictorial<br />
preview in its Sunday roto section before<br />
the opening,<br />
Special shows for Boy and Girl Scouts<br />
were scheduled for four weeks. There also<br />
will be special morning shows for parochial<br />
school children. Permission was granted<br />
for the children to be let out of classes to<br />
BOXOFTtCE Showmandiser Feb. 28, — 31<br />
attend the special shows. Heralds and<br />
order forms for all these shows were distributed<br />
to schools in Buffalo and along<br />
the Canada frontier.<br />
The group sales on the picture is under<br />
the management of Earl Hubbard and he<br />
has been most successful in lining up<br />
groups from social organizations and industrial<br />
companies throughout western<br />
New York. Eight hundred seats were sold<br />
for a late February performance to the<br />
Junior Catholic Daughters of America.<br />
Schaner also arranged to use the WYSL<br />
radio station track, which has a continuously<br />
moving electrically lighted news<br />
strip on the roof, to plug the film.<br />
There also was much art and publicity<br />
in the local and community papers, as well<br />
as college publications, and in the Magnificat,<br />
the weekly Catholic diocese newspaper.<br />

Success of a Small Town Exhibitor showmanship<br />
By L.<br />
RAND ARCHIBALD<br />
Ass't Mgr., Armond Theatre. Cranbrook. B.C.<br />
L. Rand Archibald and his father W.<br />
F. Bud" Archibald of the Armond<br />
Theatre in Cranbrook, B.C., have been<br />
highly successful in the operation of<br />
their small town theatre. Their key to<br />
success is a nine-letter word— PRO-<br />
MOTION. Here <strong>Boxoffice</strong> Showmandiser,<br />
through the cooperation of Vie<br />
Archibalds, is passing on a number of<br />
their ideas.<br />
The Showmandiser section of this magazine<br />
has provided me with several ideas for<br />
successful promotions. For these I am<br />
grateful to the theatremen who have contributed.<br />
In return. I sincerely hope the<br />
following can help other exhibitors.<br />
Hit and miss promotion is of very little<br />
value. An exhibitor must be continually<br />
promoting, if only in a small way, to be<br />
successful in his operation. Before the<br />
"one-eyed monster" invaded our homes,<br />
practically anyone who owned a theatre<br />
couldn't help but run a successful operation.<br />
But when television began to keep<br />
moviegoers at home away from the theatres,<br />
many exhibitors sat down and cried<br />
the blues, instead of making an effort to<br />
improve the situation. The entire industry<br />
suffered from this attitude. Now that our<br />
business is on the upswing it is very important<br />
that this situation does not reoccur.<br />
I firmly believe that one of the<br />
most effective ways to keep the business in<br />
its present trend is through conscientious<br />
promotion by theatre owners and managers.<br />
It seems to me that the smaller communities.<br />
15,000 population or less, are<br />
lacking good promotion from theatres. The<br />
following ideas have proven highly successful<br />
and yet were quite inexpensive.<br />
SIGNS AND BANNERS<br />
1. Signs and banners placed around<br />
a theatre lobby are very effective,<br />
can be expensive if done by a professional<br />
sign painter. I have overcome<br />
this by purchasing a roll of<br />
white paper, some poster paints and<br />
a few brushes. By simply using<br />
marquee letters for outlines, I have<br />
turned out some very presentable<br />
signs and banners.<br />
ADVERTISING A MUST<br />
2. It is necessary for a theatre to advertise<br />
in local newspapers—but<br />
are you getting the most out of<br />
your ads? Besides our theatre advertising<br />
in three papers, the editors<br />
permit me to write a weekly<br />
theatre column for each paper at<br />
no charge to us. These columns<br />
contain about 50 per cent advertising<br />
and the rest items about Hollywood<br />
and its stars. Most of the<br />
items are from pressbooks. If you<br />
advertise in an "offset" newspaper,<br />
the mat cuts are very good for<br />
this. So for the small cost, I feel<br />
the pressbooks are well worth while.<br />
ATTRACTING THE TOURIST<br />
3. When tourists arrive in a town<br />
they nearly always spend a few dollars.<br />
But are tourists leaving any<br />
of then- dollars at your theatre? A<br />
gimmick we've used effectively is:<br />
Go to a local camp site, introduce<br />
yourself to campers with families<br />
and give them one pass to your theatre.<br />
Last year, 80 per cent of the<br />
passes we gave out were used. Without<br />
exception, when a tourist used<br />
his pass, he was accompanied by<br />
the rest of his family, who, of<br />
course, paid.<br />
MONTHLY CALENDAR<br />
4. One of the best advertising<br />
mediums in a small town or city is<br />
a monthly calendar. To help defray<br />
the printing costs, solicit ads<br />
from local businessmen. To help<br />
entice advertisers, offer them one<br />
or two passes to your theatre for<br />
each month they appear on your<br />
calendar.<br />
MOVING' ADVERTISING<br />
5. At very little expense to ourselves,<br />
we have mounted a sign atop one<br />
of our oars. Again, to save the cost<br />
of a professional painter, we used<br />
the marquee letters.<br />
RUBBER STAMP<br />
6. Spend a couple of dollars and purchase<br />
a rubber stamp set. This can<br />
be used in many ways to advertise<br />
an upcoming attraction, for instance,<br />
on envelopes and checks.<br />
Gone are the days when an exhibitor<br />
could hang up a one-sheet and watch the<br />
money roll in. Today, an exhibitor has to<br />
get out and work in order to record patrons<br />
at the boxoffice. The most logical way to<br />
this, of course, is through advertising. Too<br />
many theatremen fail to advertise properly<br />
because of the cost factor. This need not<br />
be a roadblock because showmanship on<br />
your part is a very effective key. To your<br />
patrons, say: "Get more out of life—go to<br />
a movie." And to get more out of your<br />
theatre—PROMOTE.<br />
Wometco Promotes 'Chase'<br />
By Shopping Spree Contest<br />
A middle aged couple in Miami spent five<br />
hurried minutes in a supermarket to collect<br />
everything free they could carry to a<br />
check-out counter in that time. They<br />
wound up with $335.16 worth of food and<br />
3,150 trading stamps. This was part of a<br />
contest for "The Chase," conducted by<br />
Wometco Theatres and the Grand Union<br />
Co. The film had its premiere at Carib in<br />
Miami Friday (18).<br />
Concentrates on Navy<br />
In Norfolk, Va., MGM arranged for special<br />
promotional campaigns geared to Navy<br />
personnel. Posters announcing attractions<br />
have been placed in strategic locations.<br />
Fliers and handouts have been distributed<br />
to residents and discount screenings were<br />
held for servicemen in uniform. In addition,<br />
local radio stations held a series of<br />
contests, with guest tickets for "The Loved<br />
One," "Where the Spies Are" and "7<br />
Women" offered as prizes.<br />
Upon the recent marriage of L. Rand<br />
Archibald, assistant manager of the<br />
Armond Theatre, Cranbrook, B.C., he<br />
received a congratulatory telegram<br />
from Paul Cardell of Famous Players<br />
Canadian Corp. Composed of motion<br />
picture titles, the wire read:<br />
THE CHASE is over and THE<br />
GREAT RACE has just begun. Forget<br />
your DIARY OF A BACHELOR and<br />
STRANGE BEDFELLOWS. PROMISE<br />
HER ANYTHING. THE REWARD<br />
will be THE SOUND OF MUSIC for<br />
THAT FUNNY FEELING and THE<br />
TRUTH ABOUT SPRING. JOY IN<br />
THE MORNING and A WONDERFUL<br />
LIFE to you both.<br />
'Music' Hits $1 Million;<br />
Manager Rewards Patron<br />
Manager Harry Morgan of the United<br />
Artists Theatre in San Francisco has recorded<br />
more than $1 million in ticket sales<br />
for "The Sound of Music," now in its 49th<br />
week at the theatre.<br />
When the $1 million mark was reached,<br />
David Dennis, who had purchased five<br />
tickets, was refunded his money and he<br />
and his family became the "guests of the<br />
house." In cooperation with 20th Century-<br />
Fox, the lucky ticket holders also were<br />
dinner guests at a new downtown restaurant.<br />
The picture has broken all records at the<br />
53-year-old house and is still going strong.<br />
More than 350,000 Bay Area residents have<br />
seen the picture at the theatre.<br />
'Heroes' Riding High<br />

Publicist Seeks Duck<br />
To 'Talk Up' Picture<br />
To Bob Rehme, UA field representative in<br />
Cincinnati, must go the first prize of the<br />
new year for a fancy promotional stunt for<br />
a film. UA was filming a picture called "Lord<br />
Love a Duck," and while waiting for it to<br />
appear here. Rehme sent out an appeal<br />
through the movie pages of the newspapers<br />
for a "talking duck" to be used in the film's<br />
promotion.<br />
The public response has been fantastic.<br />
It seems there are quite a few "talking<br />
ducks" in the vicinity. Rehme says he<br />
knows where he can find a "talking duck"<br />
if the public fails to produce a better one.<br />

worst pictures of the year, which could<br />
have been tops. I understand the producer<br />
took the scissors to this one. I hope he is<br />
happy. My customers and I weren't. The<br />
action we do see is brutal and will keep<br />
the men interested. Characterizations are<br />

Too much like "The Hustler." Steve Mc-<br />
Queen was good for the part. Would have<br />
been a flop though, if it weren't for Edward<br />

colorful, star-studded film dealing with the rise and fall of<br />
an unscrupulous Oscar nominee should be one of the<br />
vcar's top boxoffice hits. The backgrounds of studio lots,<br />
lavish Hollywood apartments and the opening and c<br />
scenes of an actual Awards presentation, complete with<br />
screaming fans. Bob Hope as master-of-ceremonies,<br />
Merle Oberon as a presenter and the surprise winner, all<br />
filmed in Pathecolor. have tremendous selling value, as<br />
much as does a superb cast, headed by Stephen Boyd, in<br />
his finest screen performance as a ruthless, completely<br />
unsympathetic "heel." Tony Bennett, famed singer, playpowerful<br />
dramatic role; Milton Berle, also in a fine<br />
character portrayal, plus such lovely actresses as Elke<br />
Sommer, Eleanor Parker and Jill St. John, the latter a<br />
standout in her few scenes, as the woman he mishandles,<br />
for top marquee lure. Many others, including Hedda<br />
Hopper. Frank Sinatra and Edith Head, play themselves<br />
for added curiosity appeal. Produced by Clarence I<br />
and directed by Russell Rouse, based on the best-selling<br />
novel by Richard Sale, this is frank, realistic fare.<br />

Going out in a package with "Blood Bath." this Curtis<br />
Harrington written-and-directed space-age drama, produced<br />
by George Edwards, admirably contains a combination<br />
of outer world drama and horror that should<br />
make it a "must-see" for audiences known to appreciate<br />
both entertainment elements. Basil Rathbone.<br />
John Saxon.<br />
Judi Meredith Dennis are and Hopper "known"<br />
merit marquee strength, and Harrington, who<br />
production "schooling" under the able and alert<br />
late Jerry Wald in the latter's 20th-Fox days, has spun<br />
an obviously simple situation of a girl from another<br />
planet who lives on blood with all of the prime factors<br />
of mass enjoyment firmly in mind. The Pathecolor tones<br />
infuse the setting with an immediacy and impact that<br />
elevate this release out of the "ho-hum" category.<br />
Exploitation activity should be practically limitless since<br />
space and horror lend themselves superlatively to mass<br />
persuasion, both in the larger, more populous centers<br />
and in the smaller towns. Acting values are strong.<br />
Rathbone taking individual honors for credibility. He<br />
makes every moment he's on screen count, in the accepted<br />
tradition of leading man performance.<br />

While the new screenplay bj Jean Holloway may seem<br />
overly melodramatic and old-fashioned to some younger<br />
the film has power and sentiment, particularly in<br />
the climactic courtroom and deathbed scenes. Hunter<br />
as always, uses a top-flight cast, headed by Lana Turner<br />

bride to a dissolute old hag. lavish<br />

a madc-to-order laugh vehicle in this Edward Montague<br />

Nydia Westman. George Chandler, Lurene Turtle and<br />
even Eddie Quillan, playing assorted busy-bodies and<br />

upped production in several of the studios. Columbia<br />
announced the "biggest worldwide production schedule"<br />
in its history with 83 pictures in various stages of production<br />
or preparation. Universal had six films in production<br />
at the year-end, four high-budget pictures scheduled<br />
to go before the cameras in January and 1 1 major features<br />
in various stages of editing and scoring or awaiting release.<br />
Allied Artists began firming up its 1966 release<br />
schedule with the announcement that "The Leather Boys"<br />
would be the first for the season, preceding the reissue<br />
of "El Cid" in February and release of two pictures each<br />
in March and April.<br />
New Releasing Deals Made<br />
American International, in finalizing a 26-picture<br />
schedule, recently announced the most extensive and<br />
diversified product lineup in its 12-year history, with ten<br />
films ready for release. This lineup includes four of the<br />
20 films acquired for distribution by AIP in a deal with<br />
the Ely Landau-Oliver Unger Co., which also provided<br />
AIP "first refusal" right to current and subsequent Landau-Unger<br />
productions. The AIP schedule, without a<br />
single beach picture on the list, will include drama,<br />
comedy, motor racing, science-fiction, horror, horror spoof,<br />
spy stories and one musical variety subject.<br />
Paramount, with 54 releases scheduled through the<br />
season and into the next one, leads in number of listed<br />
pictures, some of them previously announced on the<br />
company's three-year schedule.<br />
Continental announced recently that it plans to release<br />
at least one picture per month during 1966, and<br />
both 20th Century-Fox and United Artists announced<br />
schedules at least equal to those of the preceding season,<br />
but probably surpassing it.<br />
BOXOFFICE<br />
Heartening also to exhibitors will be the additional<br />
use of color, typified by the Universal announcement<br />
that its entire season's output would be in color.<br />
In subject matter, the bulk of the secret agent films<br />
will be the tongue-in-cheek variety, pitting the wily<br />
agent against impossible adversaries in equally impossible<br />
situations, all conquered with diabolical solutions.<br />
All of the majors have such films scheduled: Columbia<br />
has four; MGM, two; Paramount, five; 20th-Fox,<br />
two; United Artists, its current "Thunderball" thus far;<br />
Universal, four, and Warner Bros., one.<br />
Variety in Secret Agent Films<br />
On the Columbia schedule are the Charles K. Feldman<br />
production of Ian Fleming's first secret agent 007<br />
novel, "Casino Royale," with Peter Sellers to star as<br />
James Bond; "The Silencers," with Dean Martin as secret<br />
agent Matt Helm; "Operation Paradise," filmed in Brazil<br />
and involving an underwater laboratory, submarines, a<br />
rocket-launching pad and a push-button-equipped Rolls-<br />
Royce, and "That Man in Istanbul."<br />
In "The Liquidator" for MGM, a man who hates<br />
violence is hired by British intelligence to be a liquidator,<br />
and in the same company's "Where the Spies Are," a<br />
country doctor tries to replace a missing secret agent.<br />
Paramount has "The Spy Who Came in From the Cold"<br />
from the John LeCarre novel; "Funeral in Berlin"; "Mr.<br />
Sebastian," a World War II spy yarn, and two out-andout<br />
spoofs, "The Spy With a Cold Nose" and "The Last<br />
of the Secret Agents?," the latter marking the screen<br />
debut of the comedy team, Marty Allen and Steve Rossi.<br />
"Our Man Flint" is one of two 20th-Fox spy spoofs,<br />
the other being "Modesty Blaise," the madcap adventures<br />
of a female spy. Universal, in addition to its current "The<br />
Ipcress File," will release the British-made "Agent for<br />
H.A.R.M." and "Torn Curtain" and "A Man Could Get<br />
Killed," in which a U.S. banker on a confidential mission<br />
is suspected of being a secret agent. Warner Bros.' sole<br />
spy entry is "A Noble Profession."<br />
For the aficionados of murder and mayhem there<br />
will be Sherlock Holmes, Scotland Yard, Mr. Moto, Dr.<br />
Fu Manchu and Agatha Christie's Miss Marple and<br />
Hercule Poirot adorning the screen along with a wide<br />
assortment of kidnapers, thieves, blackmailers, murderers<br />
and courtroom dramas. Sherlock Holmes sets out to<br />

before its liberation from the Japanese. Universal will release<br />
"Destination Tobruk," showing a British task force<br />
in an 800-mile trek across the Lybian desert to halt<br />
German general Rommel. Warner Bros.' war release<br />
is its current Cinerama epic, "Battle of the Bulge," the<br />
filmed re-creation of the German three-pronged counteroffensive<br />
in the Ardennes forest, one of the hardestfought,<br />
most costly battles of World War II.<br />
There'll be laughter, too, in big supply for theatre<br />
audiences with the release of 65 comedies, some of them<br />
with marquee-bursting titles, such as Paramount's "Oh<br />
Dad, Poor Dad, Mama's Hung You in the Closet and<br />
I'm Feelin' So Sad" or that company's current "Situation<br />
The latter company announced it will film the Bel<br />
Kaufman novel, "Up the Down Staircase," dealing with<br />
a first-year teacher in a slum area school in New York,<br />
as well as the Jean Kerr play, "Poor Richard," along with<br />
several other comedies on its schedule. Buena Vista will<br />
follow up its current "That Darn Cat" with four comedies,<br />
"Follow Me Boys," "Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N.," and "The<br />
Ugly Dachshund."<br />
.<br />
Hopeless—But Not Serious." There also are 20th-Fox's<br />

Columbia comedies will include "Birds Do It," marking<br />
the film debut of Soupy Sales, "The Trouble With<br />
Angels," concerning the pranks of two teenagers in a<br />
convent school; "Walk Don't Run" and "The Wrong Box."<br />
MGM's "Made in Paris" will emphasize a half-milliondollars<br />
worth of clothes, and a romp through Paris, and<br />
Paramount has slated filmizations of three Broadway<br />
comedies, two by Neil Simon, "Barefoot in the Park" and<br />
"The Odd Couple," and one by Bill Manhoff, "The Owl<br />
and the Pussycat," plus two filmland stories, "Promise<br />
Her Anything" and "Ready When You Are, C. B."<br />
While there will be 20 westerns slated for the year,<br />
surprisingly there are only two tongue-in-check western<br />
spoofs. These are Buena Vista's "Bullwhip Griffin," about<br />
a New England butler in the midst of the California Gold<br />
Rush, and Warner Bros.' "A Big Hand for the Little Lady,"<br />
concerning a zany poker game. The other more conventional<br />
westerns will be highlighted by the Martin<br />
Rackin production of the screen classic, "Stagecoach" for<br />
20th-Fox release.<br />
Musicals will probably be in short supply, but will<br />
include Elvis Presley in "Paradise, Hawaiian Style" for<br />
Paramount, and in "Frankie and Johnny," based on the<br />
U.S. legend, for United Artists. UA also will release the<br />
filmization of the Burt Shevelove-Larry Gelbart Broadway<br />
musical, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to<br />
the Forum," while Warner Bros, has slated the Alan<br />
Jay Lerner Broadway hit, "Camelot."<br />
As in past recent years, American International leads<br />
the field in the production of science-fiction and teenage<br />
features. On its upcoming slate of science-fiction films,<br />
the company has "Frankenstein Conquers the World,"<br />
"Planet of Terror" and "World of Prehistoric Women."<br />
For the teenagers, it continues its successful formula<br />
with "Ghost in the Invisible Bikini" and "Girl in the<br />
Glass Bikini" among others. In the horror category,<br />
20th-Fox will emerge as the year's leader with three,<br />
"Dracula — Prince of Darkness," "The Plague of the<br />
Zombies" and "The Reptiles."<br />
More Children's Films Available<br />
There will be a number of children's features available:<br />
"The Magic Weaver," from Allied Artists; "The<br />
Flintstones," from Columbia; "The Daydreamer," from<br />
Embassy; Columbia's "The Magic World of Topo Gigio"<br />
and the Childhood Productions releases of "Snow White,"<br />
"The Bremen Town Musicians," "Hansel and Gretel" and<br />
"Sleeping Beauty," all of the latter German productions<br />
with English dubbing.<br />
Four documentaries are slated, "Mondo Taboo,"<br />
from AIP; "Flame and the Fire," Continental; "The<br />
Eleanor Roosevelt Story," AIP, and "Wild, Wild World,"<br />

r^i
INTERNATIONAL FILM<br />
UPTREND<br />
IN U. S. CONTINUES TO GROW<br />
By FRANK LEYENDECKER<br />
WITH Federico Fellini's "Juliet of the Spirits" winning<br />
the Joseph Burstyn Award for "best foreign film of 1965,"<br />
this top honor coming shortly after the New York Film<br />
Critics also chose the Rizzoli Films release as "best<br />
foreign film," Italian films again led the foreign field in<br />
1965, just as they did in 1964, when "Mafioso" was<br />
chosen "best" and in 1963 and 1961, when two other<br />
Fellini pictures, "8V2" and "La Dolce Vita," won the<br />
Burstyn awards, respectively. All of these Fellini pictures<br />
were also big grossers, "La Dolce Vita" having rolled<br />
up more than $6,000,000 in the U.S., while his "La Strada"<br />
was also an exceptional grosser, it having been the<br />
Burstyn Award winner in 1956. The Fellini imprint apparently<br />
means quality. No other foreign producer, Italian<br />
or French, has ever had more than one picture as a<br />
Burstyn Award winner in the 13 years since its inception.<br />
Most Popular Italian Stars<br />
Again in 1965, the Italian players surged ahead in<br />
popularity with American moviegoers with the glamorous<br />
Virna Lisi, who played opposite Jack Lemmon in "How<br />
to Murder Your Wife," joining the select group of Italian<br />
stars such as Sophia Loren, Claudia Cardinale and Gina<br />
Lollobrigida, all of these now making only Englishlanguage<br />
films. Marcello Mastroianni and Vittorio Gassman,<br />
both popular in the U.S., still make their pictures in<br />
Italian, which later are dubbed into English.<br />
These Italian stars are not the only ones who have<br />
become marquee names in the U.S., others being Elke<br />
Sommer, Romy Schneider, Oskar Werner, Maximilian<br />
Schell and Senta Berger from Germany or Austria, and<br />
the French bom Brigitte Bardot, Jeanne Moreau, Alain<br />
Delon and Jean-Paul Belmondo, although Belmondo and<br />
Mile. Bardot never come to Hollywood and still make<br />
pictures in French—which are English-dubbed later.<br />
"Patrons Have Gone International"<br />
"At long last, the motion picture patron in the United<br />
Stales has gone international," according to David<br />
Emanuel, president of Governor Films, who was the<br />
dinner chairman of the International Film Awards dinner<br />
in January. "The American public no longer inquires<br />
into the nationality of the motion picture company financing<br />
a feature, its producer, director, stars or point of<br />
origin or geographical settings—except as it relates to<br />
the story location. The one criterion—all over the world<br />
—is quality," Emanuel pointed out.<br />
Agreeing with Emanuel in regard to foreign or "international"<br />
films is Nat Cohen, managing director of<br />
Anglo-Amalgamated Film Distributors, Ltd., who said,<br />
"There can be nothing in the industry having greater<br />
potential for success and ultimate profit than a film which<br />
carries the 'international' tag in some shape or form."<br />
Mentioning that a film can never be marketed in exactly<br />
the same way in two or more countries and that peoples'<br />
tastes, like peoples' customs, differ immensely from land<br />
to land, Cohen pointed out that "it is therefore desirable<br />
when formulating a production program that films should<br />
be designed to cater to as many audiences throughout<br />
the world as is humanly possible, incorporating the<br />
necessary elements of appeal on an international scale."<br />
Although no foreign pictures, except those financed<br />
by American companies and filmed in Europe, such as<br />
"Zorba the Greek," and "The Agony and the Ecstasy,"<br />
approached the tremendous gross of "La Dolce Vita"<br />
in 1965, Embassy's "Marriage Italian Style" and "Casanova<br />
70," both starring Mastroianni and the former costarring<br />
Loren, were big grossers as was "The Train,"<br />
filmed entirely in France with Burt Lancaster and Jeanne<br />
Moreau starred.<br />
In addition to the Italian pictures distributed by<br />
Embassy, Royal Films International (subsidiary of Columbia)<br />
distributed several, including "Bambole" and the<br />
current Claudia Cardinale film, "Sandra," while Continental<br />
released The Railroad Man" and "The Magnificent<br />
Cuckold" (also with Cardinale) and Rizzoli Films,<br />
a new U.S. releasing firm, also had "White Voices" and<br />
"Red Desert."<br />
From France and Russia, Too<br />
Except for the Belmondo pictures, several of them<br />
distributed by Pathe Contemporary Films, including<br />
"Banana Peel" and "Male Hunt," and the enchanting<br />
"The Umbrellas of Cherbourg," imported by Ely Landau<br />
and now being handled by American International, it is<br />
International Classics (20th Century-Fox subsidiary)<br />
which is distributing the majority of French language<br />
films. "Le Bonne Soupe," "Thank Heaven for Small<br />
Favors" and "A Friend of the Family" have been mildly<br />
successful, at best, but the new "Male Companion"<br />
should be a hit.<br />
German and Swedish pictures in 1965 were few<br />
and far between, the great Ingmar Bergman having no<br />
new film during the year, while Japanese pictures also<br />
slackened off due to Toho giving up its New York City<br />
showcase.<br />
However, Chinese pictures, formerly shown only in<br />
San Francisco, found a New York showcase for Run Run<br />
Shaw's films at the 55th Street Theatre and even played<br />
a few other U.S. cities in 1965.<br />
The year 1966 may see a resurgence of Russian<br />
pictures, which have been mainly confined to Artkino<br />
Films releases in the last few years. Now the first Soviet<br />
Cinerama feature, "Bing Crosby in Cinerama's Russian<br />
Adventure," will reach America's Cinerama houses for<br />
roadshowing at Easter, the Russian "Hamlet" will be<br />
released by Lopert Pictures about the same time and<br />
Joseph E. Levine's "Italiano Brava Gente" has already<br />
opened in New York.<br />

LOVELY Julie Andrews, in her<br />
three-picture screen debut during<br />
the 1964-65 season, stole a march on<br />
the oldtime regulars to emerge as<br />
undisputed Queen of the Screen in<br />
her first appearance on the ballot in<br />
the 29th annual BOXOFFICE Ail-<br />
American Screen Favorites Poll.<br />
While Miss Andrews ran away with<br />
the votes on the female poll, the redoubtable<br />
Cary Grant held fast to<br />
the top spot among the males, ranking<br />
as King for the fourth straight<br />
year and among the Top Twelve for<br />
the seventh time since his initial appearance<br />
there in 1958.<br />
Miss Andrews made her screen<br />
debut in Walt Disney's "Mary Poppins"<br />
last season following a brilliant<br />
Broadway and London stage career<br />
highlighted by two years in the New<br />
York company and 18 months in the<br />
London production of "My Fair<br />
Lady." Her other film successes for<br />
the seascn include "The Americanization<br />
of Emily" for Metro-Goldwyn-<br />
Mayer and "The Sound of Music" for<br />
20th Century-Fox. During the coming<br />
season Miss Andrews will star in<br />
"Hawaii" for United Artists release<br />
and "Torn Curtain" for Universal.<br />
The 1965 poll of exhibitors, newspaper,<br />
radio and TV film critics and<br />
national motion picture groups<br />
marks Grant's 20th appearance a-<br />
mong the top 12 male stars in the<br />
last 25 years. He made his first appearance<br />
among the Top Twelve in<br />
1940. His only starring vehicle for<br />
the past season was "Father Goose"<br />
for Universal, and he is scheduled to<br />
star in "Walk Don't Run" this season<br />
for Columbia.<br />
THE WINNERS<br />
Doris Day, who held first place for<br />
the last three years among the distaff<br />
contingent, slipped into second place<br />
due to Miss Andrews' overwhelming<br />
victory. Miss Day, who first appeared<br />
among the top 12 femmes in<br />
1951, appeared in "Send Me No<br />
Flowers" for Universal during the<br />

year, rose to fifth place from his<br />
eighth position the previous year,<br />
marking his 13th appearance among<br />
the top 12 males in the last 14 years.<br />
Wayne is making "Eldorado" for<br />

major releases, "Shenandoah" for<br />
Universal, "Dear Brigitte" for 20th-<br />
Fox and "Cheyenne Autumn" for<br />

Breed" for Universal. Eighth place<br />
honors were shared by Natalie<br />
Wood, a drop from fifth in 1964, and<br />
Paul Newman, a drop from third<br />
place last year. Miss Wood starred<br />
in "Sex and the Single Girl" and<br />
"The Great Race," both for Warner<br />
Bros., and will soon be seen in "In<br />
side Daisy Clover" for the same company<br />
and "This Property Is Condemned"<br />

"Lady L" for MGM and "Torn Curtain"<br />
for Universal.<br />
Deborah Kerr staged a popularity<br />
comeback this year after a two-year<br />
absence from the top 12, ranking in<br />
11th place. Her latest starring<br />
vehicle was opposite Frank Sinatra<br />
in "Marriage on the Rocks," a<br />
Warner Bros. 1965-66 release. Both<br />
Burt Lancaster and Charlton Heston<br />
returned to positions among the top<br />
12 males after missing out in<br />
raster ranked in ninth place, following<br />
his appearances in "The<br />
Train" and "The Hallelujah Trail,"<br />
both for UA release, while Heston<br />
ranked 11th, with "The Greatest<br />
Story Ever Told" for UA and "Major<br />
Dundee" for Columbia to his credit.<br />
Lancaster is slated to be seen in Columbia's<br />
"The Professionals" this<br />
year, while Heston, now appearing<br />
in the current "The Agony and the<br />
Ecstasy" for 20th-Fox and "The War<br />
Lord" for Universal, is slated to star<br />
in "Khartoum" for UA.<br />
Rock Hudson slipped from fifth to<br />
tenth spot this year, making his ninth<br />
consecutive appearance among the<br />
top 12 male stars. Hudson first appeared<br />
among the top 12, ranking in<br />
first place in 1957. He appeared in<br />
"Send Me No Flowers," "Strange<br />
Bedfellows" and "A Very Special<br />
Favor" all for Universal, during the<br />
past season, and is making<br />
"Seconds" for Paramount; "Blindfold"<br />
and "Destination Tobruk" for<br />
Universal and The Moving Target"<br />
for Warner Bros, this year.<br />

Goldfinger (UA)<br />
VV HEN any film scores heavily in every<br />
geographic area, urban, suburban and rural<br />
section, and in every type of theatre or drivein<br />
(with the possible exception of the art<br />
house), then a motion picture is considered a<br />
blockbuster of the first class. Such a film heads<br />
the list of picture grosses for the 1964-65<br />
season "Goldfinger," a United Artists release.<br />
Last year, "My Fair Lady" and "Mary Poppins"<br />
on a limited engagement basis and thus<br />
marked (++) as overlapping seasonal product,<br />
headed the top hit list, but take second and<br />
third places in this year's roundup of the boxoffice<br />
grosses. These percentages are based<br />
on first-run reports from key cities. Any picture<br />
which does 120 per cent of average business<br />
places in the top hit class. In the listing<br />
of these top hits, it is noted that an additional<br />
film, besides the three mentioned, scored over<br />
300 per cent of normal business. The score of<br />
"Goldfinger"—387— is the highest score recorded<br />
in recent years of annual Barometer<br />
reports.<br />
Moreover, one has only to look at the list<br />
of new pictures to gauge the influence of the<br />
"Goldfinger" boxoffice success on production.<br />
Spy pictures are "in" and will run their course<br />
in another of those cycles such as the industry<br />
experiences from time to time.<br />
Studying the top hit report further, 157 pictures<br />
scored 120 or more, about 43 per cent of<br />
the 369 releases listed. This is a few less hits<br />
and releases recorded in last year's Barometer<br />
— 161 top hits out of 382 releases—but the<br />
percentage is much the same.<br />
Reports on small pictures are hard to come<br />
by, since they often play on the lower half of<br />
a double bill or in small-town houses rather<br />
than in key cities. Thus they are starred (*).<br />
Breaking the top hits down by single companies:<br />
Columbia, with its season extended by<br />
two months to September, had 21; Metro 20;<br />
Universal 15; United Artists 14; 20th-Fox 12;<br />
Paramount 10; Wamer Bros. 8; Embassy and<br />
Continental, 6 each; Allied Artists 5; Buena<br />
Vista 4, and Magna 2. There were 25 in the<br />
miscellaneous field, from various companies.<br />
That the public supports various types of<br />
films is evidenced by the kinds represented in<br />
the top ten at the boxoffice. Of these, three<br />
were musicals, three were farces, (one guite<br />
sophisticated), one was a spy drama spiced<br />
with sex, one had a religious theme and one<br />
was a war drama. Four were BOXOFFICE<br />
Blue Ribbon Award winners. So the public<br />
could find something for every taste.

OLDTIME SHOWMANSHIP<br />
TAKES NEW HOLD IN 65<br />
By ALLEN WARDR1P<br />
GOOD old-fashioned showmanship that was so prevalent<br />
in the golden era of filmmaking began making its<br />
long-needed comeback in 1965, as the major Hollywood<br />
studios and exhibitors in the United States, Canada and<br />
Britain appeared to be reawakened to the consequential<br />
task of film selling.<br />
Backed into a corner by the cry for "family films"<br />
and ratings which took on greater significance, the exhibitor,<br />
at first, sought a more exalted means of exploitation<br />
before realizing that it was oldtime ballyhooing<br />
that was needed—not subtle finesse—to sell the "family"<br />
picture. At the same time, moviemakers apparently saw<br />
they were too close to their businesss to see that they<br />
had the necessary "shows" all the time and only needed<br />
to exploit them. Concentrated studio tours and exhibits<br />
are prime examples of the reawakening.<br />
Some Interesting Examples<br />
As examples of the renewed ballyhooing, BOX-<br />
OFFICE BAROMETER is presenting for your review some<br />
of the more interesting and exciting film campaigns.<br />
These were carefully selected from the more than 180<br />
pages of Showmandiser during 1965, submitted by you,<br />
trie Showman.<br />
However, the promotions do not claim to be the<br />
"best" of the year, in the sense of ratings or a contest.<br />
But they are excellent examples of showmanship by theatremen,<br />
who sometimes dared to be bold in their attention-getting<br />
campaigns.<br />
Here are the promotions:<br />
As an eye-popping stunt, the Kimo Theatre in Albuquerque,<br />
N.M., painted a pretty model from head to foot<br />
with gold paint. Dressed in a gold bathing suit with<br />
shoes to match, she paraded through the business district<br />
with a three-piece Dixieland band (theatre employes)<br />
for a week in advance of "Goldfinger." She gave out a<br />
number of 5x5-inch cards, gilted on one side, good for<br />
free admission during the run of the film. Three merchants<br />
donated gift certificates, and they were given away by<br />
the "golden girl" in two stage appearances on opening<br />
night. The stunt received good plugs on radio and television.<br />
Another good job of creating adventuresome curiosity<br />
to a film was handled by Robert W. Kunce, manager<br />
of the Centre Theatre in Los Alamos, N.M., for his "Robin<br />
and the 7 Hoods" playdate. At the same time each<br />
evening, he held an archery exhibit in front of the theatre<br />
and presented a group of folksingers. In the lobby,<br />
BOXOFFICE<br />
the employes were dressed as "hoods," and an FBI display<br />
of various weapons used for infamous crimes in<br />
New Mexico were on display. On stage, he had a local<br />
dance band for an hour each day. Demonstrations of<br />
the Robin Hood-type weapons and music and the modern<br />
version of the same proved invaluable for Kunce.<br />
The third selection, Lenard Ventures' Plantation, Fla.,<br />
Theatre, managed by Herb Kaplan, created an atmosphere<br />
of "ghoulish delight" to help sell "My Blood Runs<br />
Cold." A 1,500-pound tombstone was seated in a bed<br />
of grass at the theatre entrance to attract attention. This<br />
was in addition to the "blood certificates" supplied by<br />
Warner Bros., some of which showed a skeleton when<br />
dipped in water. The theatre also had several thousand<br />
other certificates printed and distributed in the city. The<br />
promotion was run in conjunction with a radio station,<br />
which gave albums to the first 25 people who were fearless<br />
enough to dip their certificates into the "blood<br />
bucket," water stained with vegetable dye. Teenagers,<br />
especially, were anxious to try "their hands" at the<br />
bucket.<br />
To ballyhoo "Malamondo," Geneva Wood, manager<br />
of the Trans-Texas' Fine Arts Theatre in Denton, set up<br />
a campaign to appeal, primarily, to young people, since<br />
the picture is based on the actions of the world's young<br />
people. She had a teenage boy and girl, each dressed<br />
in white shorts, parade through town, with the boy riding<br />
a sidewalk skateboard and pulling the girl in a bright<br />
red wagon. Signs on the wagon and the boy's back<br />
pointed to the picture and the theatre.<br />
Use Variety oi Stunts and Tie-ups<br />
Our fifth listing was carried out in Fort Worth by<br />
manager Harry Gaines of the Trans-Texas Hollywood,<br />
assisted by Dick Empey, advertising-promotion director<br />
of the circuit. For "Girl Happy," 3,000 heralds were distributed<br />
by two supermarkets as bag stuffers. A radio<br />
contest was set up, with contestants asked to write, "How<br />
I Would Like to Make My Girl Happy." And, as a street<br />
stunt, Gaines had a doorman walk the downtown area<br />
playing a guitar and singing songs from the picture. A<br />
card was attached to his front and back, proclaiming "I'm<br />
strolling and strumming to the Hollywood Theatre to see<br />
Elvis Presley in 'Girl Happy.' "<br />
The next selection was a clever cloak-and-dagger stunt<br />
to promote a cloak-and-dagger picture, "Operation<br />
Crossbow" (later retitled "The Great Spy Mission").<br />
Manager William C. With of the Palace Theatre in Albany,<br />
NT, planted a briefcase in an Albany park. On<br />
the case was this message: "TOP SECRET. SECURITY<br />

B TISH FILM INDUSTRY<br />
EFFECTS NEW PATTERNS<br />
(Continued from page 52)<br />
been set up by Sydney Box, who has announced a program<br />
of six feature films for 1966, with others in preparation.<br />
"Deadlier Than the Male," is the first of these.<br />
The others are "The Long Duel," to be produced by<br />
Vivian Cox and Ranveer Singh in India. Jack Cardiff<br />
directs, Yul Brynner stars; "Lie Down Louisa," with screenplay<br />
by Claude Binyon and directed by Curt Bernhardt,<br />
stars Carroll Baker; "Java Weed," based on a novel by<br />
Gerald Sparrow will be produced by Jimmy Songster,<br />
starts filming in autumn; "The Phantom Major," is to be<br />
produced by William V. A. Gell in late spring, with<br />
locations in North Africa, and "The Last Bus to Banjo<br />
Creek," to be filmed in Australia in October, stars Rod<br />
Taylor.<br />
A goodly volume of productions are coming out of<br />
MGM British Studios: Martin Ransohoff's "13," starring<br />
Deborah Kerr and David Niven; "The Alphabet Murders,"<br />
with Tony Randall in the role of Agatha Christie's famous<br />
French detective; "Where the Spies Are," with David<br />
Niven; Carlo Ponti's "Lady L," starring Sophia Loren,<br />
and Peter Glenville's "Hotel Paradiso," starring Alec<br />
Guinness and Gina Lollobrigida.<br />
Top Ten of Britain's Hits<br />
The top ten boxoffice films in Britain during 1965<br />
were as follows: "Mary Poppins" (Disney); "HELP!"<br />
(United Artists); "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"<br />
(Disney); "What's New Pussy Cat" (United Artists); "A<br />
Shot in the Dark" (United Artists); "The Carpetbaggers"<br />
(Paramount); "Von Ryan's Express" (20th Century-Fox),<br />
"The Train" (United Artists); "Operation Crossbow"<br />
(MGM) and "Carry On Cleo" (Wamer-Pathe and Anglo<br />
Amalgamated)<br />
An analysis indicates that four of the features "HELP!"<br />
"A Shot in the Dark," "Operation Crossbow" and "Carry<br />
On Cleo," were British offerings. But only one, 'Carry<br />
On Cleo," was not directly financed by an American<br />
company. This dominance of Hollywood over the British<br />
screen was an important boxoffice factor in 1965. And<br />
was a big breakthrough for the U.S. industry, compared<br />
with the previous year.<br />
Other successful British films during 1965 were: "Moll<br />
Flanders," produced by Marcel Hellman and released by<br />
Paramount; "Becket," a Peter Glenville production and<br />
also financed by Paramount; "Repulsion," a Roman<br />
Polanski production for Compton release; "The Yellow<br />
Rolls-Royce," an Anatole de Grunwald production,<br />
financed by MGM; "The Nanny," a Hammer production,<br />
jointly financed by Seven Arts and Wamer-Pathe, "The<br />
Ipcress File," a Universal/Rank co-production; "The Big<br />
Job," a Peter Rogers production and "Darling," a Joe<br />
Janni production for Wamer-Pathe and Anglo Amalgamated.<br />
Majority American Sponsored<br />
Again, it is clear that the vast majority of these films<br />
was fully sponsored by American companies or their<br />
subsidiaries and without their assistance could never<br />
have been made. In other words, in 1965 and in the<br />
months to come there is a clear pattern of film production<br />
for the British industry. Without the financial support<br />
of the U.S. majors, the real boxoffice winners are<br />
unlikely to be produced over here. Thus, while the<br />
overall total of British feature production will be no<br />
less in 1966 than it was in 1965 of the 80 major subjects<br />
planned for production during the next 12 months, only<br />
about a guarter of them, and maybe even less, will be<br />
fully financed by British-owned companies. The rest<br />
will be the result of Hollywood's major feature plan and<br />
co-productions to be made in the United Kingdom.<br />

3. PATRICK WAYNE<br />
The FOURTH annual selection of<br />
Stars of the Future—the most promising<br />
12 young players of 1965—could well<br />
have been termed "second generation"<br />
year in the <strong>Boxoffice</strong>-Barometer Ail-<br />
American Screen Poll as four young people,<br />
the sons and daughter of famous<br />
actors, scored heavily in the balloting.<br />
The second-generation young males<br />
took the lead: Peter Fonda, Robert<br />
Walker jr. and Patrick Wayne, placing<br />
first, second and third, respectively, in<br />
that category. Among the femme Stars<br />
of the Future, Nancy Sinatra ranked in<br />
third place.<br />
Fonda led the male contingent for the<br />
second year. The son of veteran actor<br />
Henry Fonda and the brother of Jane<br />
Fonda (who this year ranked ninth in<br />
popularity among the female stars of<br />
the year ) ,<br />
young Fonda began his career<br />
at the age of 13 while still in school,<br />
when he wrote, produced, directed and<br />
acted in a school play. "Stalag 13> 2<br />
." a<br />
satire on the play from which it derived<br />
its title. He made his Broadway stage<br />
debut in the staning role in "Blood,<br />
Sweat and Stanley Poole," and won<br />
both the Daniel Blum and New York<br />
Drama Critics Award as the most<br />
promising young actor of 1961. His<br />
first film was "Tammy and the Doctor,"<br />
opposite Sandra Dee, for Universal<br />
in 1963, and he subsequently appeared<br />
in "The Victors" and "Lilith," both for<br />
Columbia and in "The Young Lovers"<br />
for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.<br />
Repeating her victory of 1964, Patty<br />
Duke again scored first among the female<br />
Stars of the Future. The New<br />
York-bred Miss Duke, who began her<br />
dramatic study at the age of eight, appeared<br />
on television and still stars in<br />
her own series, but gained dramatic<br />
fame in the role of young Helen Keller<br />
on the New York stage and in the same<br />
role in the film version of "The Miracle<br />
Worker" for United Artists in 1962.<br />
This past year, she starred in "Billie,"<br />
also for UA, and her talents are scheduled<br />
for use in an adventure fantasy,<br />
"The Daydreamer," for Embassy release<br />
this year.<br />
Robert Walker jr., son of the actor<br />
who died some years ago, at the height<br />
of his own career, while young Walker<br />
was a small child, ranked in second<br />
place among the male Stars of the Future.<br />
Young Walker made his screen<br />
debut in "The Hook" for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer<br />
in 1963, then appeared in<br />
"Ensign Pulver" for Warner Bros, and<br />
"The Ceremony," released by United<br />
Artists.<br />
Stefanie Powers, a Hollywood product<br />
—born, reared, schooled and who began<br />
her career there—placed second among<br />
the female Stars of the Future. Miss<br />
Powers appeared in "If a Man Answers"<br />
for Universal in 1962, co-starred in "The<br />
Interns" for Columbia and in "The<br />
NEW Interns" for the same company in<br />
1964. She appeared in "McLintock!" for<br />
United Artists in 1963 and in "Palm<br />
Springs Weekend" for Warner Bros.<br />
that same year. She currently is being<br />
seen in "Die! Die! My Darling!" for Columbia<br />
and is before the cameras in the<br />
remake of "Stagecoach." for 20th Century-Fox<br />
release.<br />
It is notable that three of the young<br />
stars of 1965 had important roles this<br />
year in "Shenandoah." released by Universal.<br />
Patrick Wayne, son of another<br />
veteran actor, John Wayne (who himself<br />
scored fifth among the male stars in<br />
popularity), portrayed one of the sons<br />
in the picture. Young Wayne was added<br />
to the Stars of the Future ballot in<br />
1964, after completion of his role in<br />
"McLintock" for United Artists and his<br />
rise, like that of his father, has been<br />

. . and<br />
UJouna f-^iuuers of 65<br />
svvift and steady. Doug McClun-. another<br />
of the stars of "Shenandoah,"<br />
placed fifth among the young men, and<br />
Rosemary Forsyth, also from the "Shenandoah"<br />
family cast, ranked fifth among<br />
the young women.<br />
Keir Dullea, who joined the Stars of<br />
the Future ballot list in 1963, following<br />
his performance in "David and Lisa."<br />
ranked fourth among the males. Dullea<br />
received his drumatie traiinns: at the<br />
New York Neighborhood Playhouse and<br />
was cited by many critics for his role<br />
in "David and Lisa." He appeared In<br />
"Mail Order Bride" for MGM in 1964<br />
and in "The Thin Red Line" for Allied<br />
Artists the same year. He is being seen<br />
currently in the Columbia release.<br />
"Bunny Lake Is Missing."<br />
Nancy Sinatra, daughter of actor<br />
Frank Sinatra, joined the Stars of the<br />
Future list for the first time this year<br />
after her appearance hi "For Those Who<br />
Think Young" for UA. "Get Yourself a<br />
College Girl" for MGM and "Marriage<br />
on the Rocks" for WB. Miss Sinatra<br />
now is before the cameras in "Ghost in<br />
the Glass Bikini" for American International.<br />
Another newcomer to the Stars of the<br />
Future ballot. Rita Tushingham. British<br />
actress who appeared in Taste of<br />
"A<br />
Honey," "Girl With Green Eyes" and<br />
thi . current "The Knack How<br />
to Get It." ranked in fourth place<br />
among the feminine contingent. Miss<br />
Tushingham's victory in fourth spot<br />
marks her the only foreign actress to<br />
rank so highly among the Stars of the<br />
Future and the only actress whose film<br />
credits have been limited to what is<br />
considered as "art house" product.<br />
McClure, in the fifth spot among the<br />
males, came to the Stars of the Future<br />
listing in 1964. following completion of<br />
his film role in "The Lively Set" for<br />
Universal. His past experience has in-<br />
ClUded a great amount of television and<br />
a series of his own In that medium.<br />
Miss Forsyth, the third of the "Shenandoah"<br />
stars, ranking in fifth place<br />
among the feminirw Stars of the Future,<br />
also appeared in "The War- Lord." for<br />
Universal. The 23-year-old blonde was<br />
bom in Montreal, Canada, and reared<br />
in New York where she became a fashion<br />
model. Spotted by a Universal executive,<br />
Miss Forsyth was signed to a<br />
contract with that company, then spent<br />
two years studying acting in New York<br />
before making her film debut.<br />
Tommy Sands, who first reached fame<br />
as a popular singer, scored in sixth place<br />
among the male Stars of the Future. His<br />
first screen role was in "Sing Boy Sing"<br />
for 20th-Fox in 1958. He appeared in<br />
"Ensign Pulver" for Warner Bros, in 1964<br />
and lie currently is being seen in "None<br />
But the Brave" for the same company.<br />
As with many other young singers. Sands<br />
found that his singing career handicapped<br />
his dramatic career, but in his<br />
latest picture, he appears in a dramatic<br />
role.<br />
In sixth place among the fenunes is<br />
Barbara Eden, whose screen credits outnumber<br />
all of the other ranking young<br />
players. Miss Eden, while being groomed<br />
for stardom by 20th Century-Fox, appeared<br />
in "Flaming Star." "All Hands<br />
on Deck," "Voyage to the Bottom of the<br />
Sea." "Swingin' Along," "Five Weeks in<br />
a Balloon" and "The Yellow Canary,"<br />
all for that studio. She also appeared in<br />
"The Wonderful World of the Brothers<br />
Grimm." for MGM, and her latest appearances<br />
included "The Brass Bottle"<br />
for Universal, "The Seven Faces of Dr.<br />
Lao" for MGM, and "The NEW Interns"<br />
and "Ride the Wild Surf," both<br />
for<br />
Columbia release.—J.B.<br />

DIRECTORS<br />
The Guiding Hands of the Bigger Hits<br />
They Co-ordinate the Showmanship Ingredients<br />
Josef von Sternberg said in his<br />
recent book, "Fun in a Chinese Laundry."<br />
that "A film director is a man<br />
who writes with a motion picture camera."<br />
Later he adds, "The film director<br />
is a camera poet, able or not, exactly<br />
as poets who use the pen differ, their<br />
values lasting or shoddy." Considering<br />
the fact that the materials with which<br />
the director writes include human actors<br />
and scenic or set backgrounds, it<br />
can be understood that the director's<br />
role is a complicated one and that what<br />
he "writes with a motion picture camera"<br />
must first have been developed<br />
by his own imagination and then welded<br />
into shape for the screen.<br />
Directors are among the few connected<br />
with films, other than stars,<br />
who have a fan following— their work<br />
a recognized trademark. Good directors<br />
are less vulnerable to failures than<br />
talented stars—probably because stars<br />
do not have as much to say about the<br />
choice of story and its general treatment.<br />
So long as he stays within the<br />
budget (not easy), the director can be<br />
the czar of a film and mold it to his<br />
liking, if he has a competent cast. Even<br />
then there are hazards. Sudden illnesses<br />
of stars, weather conditions, political upheavals—all<br />
these can affect the making<br />
of a film and harass the director who<br />
has a schedule to meet.<br />
Since directing is such an exacting<br />
chore, to have directed more than one<br />
top hit during a season is not only a<br />
feather, but one of those knightly ostrich<br />
Plumes, in a directorial cap. To have<br />
three top hits for the period is unusual<br />
—only three directors came up with that<br />
many this past season—but only one<br />
made the grade last season.<br />
The Gordon Douglas three top hits<br />
listed in an adjoining column were<br />
widely different types. His "Harlow"<br />
(Para) had dramatic overtones for the<br />
former actor-writer-turned-director's<br />
career. He had been a messenger at the<br />
Hal Roach studios when Jean Harlow<br />
was an extra there and watched her skyrocket<br />
to fame. This gave him an insight<br />
which was an advantage when<br />
filming her biography. His 20th Century-<br />
Fox super-western got away from the<br />
boudoir to those great open spaces.<br />
The evolution of Sidney Lumet to one<br />
of Hollywood's top directors began when<br />
he was a child actor. After completing<br />
his education at Columbia University<br />
and serving in World War II, he directed<br />
summer stock, taught acting and became<br />
a director on CBS before entering<br />
the film industry. His three top hits<br />
for the season are all on grim, dramatic<br />
themes based on war and the people<br />
involved. Pulling no punches, w^hile depicting<br />
brutality, squalor and human<br />
degradation, Lumet shocked his audiences<br />
with his powerful rendering of<br />
these by drawing brilliant performances<br />
from his actors.<br />
Ralph Nelson is another director who<br />
served an apprenticeship on Broadway<br />
—as actor, playwright, producer and director.<br />
On TV, he won the Emmy<br />
Award for best direction in 1956. His<br />
motion pictures have a polished perfection<br />
of detail and his three top hits for<br />
the season combine drama, humor and<br />
romance effectively.<br />
Seventeen directors had two hits to<br />
their credit. William Asher heads the<br />
alphabetical listing, and was the only<br />
one who had three hits last season. His<br />
are light, romantic comedies that call<br />
for beach attire and the anti-intellectual<br />
approach. William Castle's two are horror<br />
films without monsters—just ordinary<br />
human beings who have developed<br />
sinister traits that menace the lives and<br />
well-being of others.<br />
Jules Dassin, former stage actor and<br />
radio writer who started his film career<br />
directing shorts, had two unique top<br />
hits in "Topkapi" and "He Who Must<br />
Die." The unusual stories, given his<br />
usual good direction, were among the<br />
season's artistic triumphs . . . Edward<br />
Dmytryk, who has been directing pictures<br />
since 1939 after starting his career<br />
with Paramount as an after-school<br />
employe, has one amnesiac mystery film<br />
this season and one where a daughter<br />
murders her mother's gangster lover.<br />
Jean-Luc Godard's "Contempt" got a<br />
"C" NCO rating, but the public flocked<br />
to see his version of an Alberto Moravia<br />
novel— it grossed 162 per cent. He wrote<br />
the screenplay as well as directed it,<br />
but, then, Brigitte Bardot displayed<br />
more charms than the NCO approves.<br />
His second hit barely touched the mark<br />
— 121 per cent—sans Bardot . . . Canadian-born<br />
and educated Norman Jewison,<br />
who produced numerous Judy Garland<br />
shows, directed two of the cleverest<br />
sophisticated comedies of the season.<br />
Richard Lester, who migrated to London<br />
after working in a vocal group and<br />
as a director at his native Philadelphia's<br />
WCAU-TV, won the Cannes Film Festival's<br />
best picture award for "The<br />
Knack." "HELP!" his second Beatle<br />
picture and second hit of the season,<br />
was the September <strong>Boxoffice</strong> Blue Ribbon<br />
Award winner.<br />
Vincente Minnelli, who was a tentshow<br />
child star and former art director,<br />
has had a long string of hits since he<br />
started directing films over 20 years<br />
ago. His Big Sur drama starring the<br />
Richard Bur-tons was a change of pace<br />
from Iris comedy. "Goodbye Charlie" .<br />
Otto Preminger is often called a critics'<br />
director because of the quality of the<br />
work of the Viennese-born alumnus of<br />
the Max Reinhardt troupe. Of his hits<br />
this year, one was a thriller and the other<br />
a heavy war drama that got a "B"<br />
rating from NCO—which probably did<br />
not bother the veteran. Remember the<br />
battle over an MPA code seal for his<br />
"The Moon Is Blue?"<br />
One of Richard Quine's two hits is a<br />
spoof on the male resistance to a domestic<br />
attitude toward marriage and the<br />
other uses only the title of a best-seller<br />
on the single woman's right to sexual<br />
freedom, that winds up with the actors<br />
playing a chase game on a freeway . . .<br />
John Rich, another graduate from television<br />
direction, accounted for a hospital<br />
melodrama and an Elvis Presley carnival<br />
romp.<br />
Alex Segal's "Harlow" in the Electronovision<br />
production for Magna was a<br />
technical innovation that drew partly<br />
from public curiosity. His "Joy in the<br />
Morning" was a moderately successful<br />
treatment of the marital problems of<br />
modern young couples when the husband<br />
is still in school . skills<br />
which Cambridge-educated Robert Stevenson<br />
learned in British studios and<br />
with Selznick, Walt Disney and various<br />
TV shows paid off in his direction of<br />
"Mary Poppins." "The Monkey's Uncle"<br />
was a letdown for his adult patrons.<br />
Another Selznick-trained director,<br />
John Sturges. directed a thriller on germ<br />
warfare in "The Satan Bug." His second<br />
hit. "The Hallelujah Trail," was a raucous<br />
action comedy . of the<br />
old-time, two-reel comedies. Norman<br />
Taurog, directed a couple of comedy<br />
hits, with singer Frankie Avalon in one<br />
and Elvis Presley in the other . . . Gerald<br />
Thomas is still "carrying on" with producer<br />
Peter Rogers and these British<br />
comedies have been popular over here.<br />
Don Weis, who won two best TV director<br />
awards in the late '50s, had better<br />
boxoffice response to his "Pajama<br />
Party" than to "Billie," but both were<br />
top hits. Then there is this to be remembered<br />
when evaluating the work of<br />
directors:<br />
Many of them who made only one hit<br />
picture for the season—or who even<br />
had a picture that did not go over so<br />
well at the boxoffice but pioneered<br />
some phase of filmmaking that will be<br />
noted and imitated—have made a significant<br />
contribution to motion picture<br />
direction. It has always been so in every<br />
field of endeavor, and with directors, the<br />
record for their accomplishments is preserved<br />
on celluloid. -V.WS.<br />

THE<br />
National Screen Council<br />
HIiii 1 Million Winners<br />
Members of the National Screen Council select the picture<br />
each month to receive the BOXOFFICE Blue Ribbon Award.<br />
This is done by mail. A list of the current releases is sent on<br />
a post card ballot for marking and returning by a specified<br />
date. The picture receiving the most votes receives the<br />
Award, and Honorable Mention is given those that so impressed<br />
the members as to receive a sizable number of votes. A space<br />
on the ballot for comment has resulted in an interesting<br />
exchange of opinion on a page devoted to the Council's<br />
appraisal of pictures.<br />
te National Screen Council comes under<br />
ditors of newspapers ond magazines, radio<br />
rs. members of film councils, social, civic,<br />
and educational groups and of exhibitor organizations. The<br />
Council and the Award it selects have a threefold purpose.<br />
BOXOFFICE sponsors them to encourage the production of motion<br />
pictures with appeal to the mass of regular patrons of all<br />
ages, to foster a greater public appreciation of the more wholesome<br />
type of motion picture entertainment, and to stabilize<br />
motion picture attendance on a higher average level.<br />
