-483- Jersey. The band was originally scheduled to play until September 30 but when Miller enlisted in the Army he wanted to cancel the entire engagement and do only the Chesterfield radio program for his final civilian week. The theater protested, and Miller then agreed to work out four days in Passaic just before his induction. (GMPR; BB, Sept. 5 & Oct. 17, 1942; Variety, Sept. 16, 1942) “Glenn Miller agreed to play four days of a scheduled week booking at the Central Theater in Passaic, New Jersey opening Sept. 24, 1942. Miller tried to cancel the date entirely last week to take a two week rest before entering the Army October 7, 1942 but the theater operators threatened a suit for damages. It’s understood that the house also threatened to secure an injunction against Miller’s playing his last Chesterfield broadcast which falls on the day he is to open the theater. Now the leader is in a bad position with Chesterfields. Latter went ahead, after being told the Central was cancelled and distributed tickets to the broadcast at CBS Playhouse in NYC. Miller always does his commercials from the stage during a theater booking and undoubtedly will have to do the one in question from the Central. He couldn’t easily make it into NYC from Passaic and back between shows which puts CBS and Chesterfields in a spot since the tickets are out. Thing that riled the Central operators into forcing Miller to fulfill his date for them was that last February the leader begged out of playing the house to go to the coast to make a film. He then signed a contract for the week of Sept. 25, 1942 but wanted to cancel again when his Army commission came through. H. Robert Broder, attorney, handled the action for the Central Theater. He contended that Miller inasmuch as he appeared free to play before a free theater audience for Chesterfields, was in the position to fulfill the theater date. Central’s management agreed to cut the date to four days figuring that Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are the best Box Office days anyhow.” (Variety, Sept. 23, 1942) Also on the same bill was Wally Brown. The band did 22 shows at the Passaic. (GMPR)
