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 />

Barometer does a thorough job of telling<br />

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

as well as to give up-to-the-minute data<br />

on future releases. On the pa<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 />

Man Flint," in its fourth week at the<br />

Forum, followed by "The Flight of the<br />

Phoenix," in its third week at the Astor.<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 />

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 />

From Southeast Edition<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 />

down his tray and obeyed. The occasion<br />

was Slate's 20th anniversary of service to<br />

. . The<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 />

have been spliced together to make a<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

On Overseas Flights<br />

Anthony Mann's "The Heroes of Telemark"<br />

Aiilines. The Kirk Douglas-Richard Harris<br />

starrer will be shown on all of the airline's<br />

transcontinental flights through an<br />

arrangement with Columbia Pictures and<br />

Inflight Motion Pictures, Inc.<br />

Running in one or more of the major<br />

Camden, Wilmington and Baltimore.<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

"The Bremen Town Musicians," "Hansel and Gretel" and<br />

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 />

Bros., and will soon be seen in "In<br />

side Daisy Clover" for the same company<br />

and "This Property Is Condemned"<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 />

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 />

Picture Records at the Nation's <strong>Boxoffice</strong>s<br />

7^<br />

(These Grossed 150% or More)<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 />

2. ROBERT WALKER JR.<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 />

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 />
