The premiere of the movie, “Virginia was all that advance ballyhoot promised it might be. It bought a wholesale invasion of the divorce capital by Hol- lywood. All Hoilywood had such a good time nobody once thought of cstablishing residence. It was probably the first time in movie history that a mob from Hollywood got within shouting distance of Reno and didn't ask the rates for a six-week stay. As a first-timer here myself, I got a bit of a shock i T always had thought of Reno as a dateline for divorce yarns. Now I know Reno not only as place where regrets are simplified, but as a | strange wonderland of a town thriving amid natural beauties to which even Mark Twain never did complete justice. Virginia City, a ghost town which came to a bright life for the riere, hang precariously on the side of a snow-spotted moun- glorying in the past and taking full advantage of its inter- nt The view from the would make a New Yorker swallow his gum and a Hollywooder call for Technicolor, three- dimention camera. According to Death Valley Scotty, who was when Virginia City wasn’t thinking about movies, there wasn't much time in the old days to contemplate the view The Virginia City folks were considerate, however. When they got to shooting things up, they usually excused the outsiders and made a family affair. Scotty tells about the time he wandered into oné Fourth of July in the boom days, and found the cele- | esting pi main street e there rs\!r: receptiona charming hostessess give thoug™*ful guests who | bring gifts of delicious rnat Van Duyn Candies.

The movie Warner Bros. made—the reason for our invasion —is a good action picture, which is nothing new for Michael Curtiz to deliver. The period is the Civil War, when Virginia City’s gold was mighty important to both sides. Errol Flynn is the Northern hero whose derring-do prevents the gold from reaching General Lee—in spite of all that Randolph Scott, aided by Miriam Hopkins, who falls in love with Flynn—can do to get the gold to | the Confederacy. Humphrey Bogart, as a Mexican Robin Hood, puts in his hand and gun toward complication, and Alan Hale is Frank McHugh there, hearty and rough-house, to assist Flynn. gets laughs. It was a great gang of movie folks on the special train. There wasn't any hiding out in compartments to keep remote from the common herd of passengers. Muzzy May Robson stzyed in her room, but the door was open and she and Lillian Harmer held gracious court there. Errol Flynn fraternized all over the train, and Rosemary Lane and Leo Carrillo lent their voices and talents to entertainment—Ilong after they had a right to be tired out. This Mario Chamlee of the Met—what a voice and how generously he gave it!

Tomorrow they'll go to some other hotel, but don’t let that bother you. Four other song pluggers will be here to take theic| place. | A song plugger’s dream of -heav- | en is a “major plug.” A major, plug means having your song| pleyed by a dance orchestra be-| tween 5 o'clock in the afternoon and 1 o'clock in the morning over either NBC or CBS. i Let's say you work for a firm] that has published a song ca]led‘I “How Were Your Dreams Last| Night?” Of course there isn't any song by that name. This is just to| illustrate a point. The more times you get that song played over the two major broadeasting companies, the more money you make. Either of these networks hits an audience of mil- lions. When a million people lis- ten to a song, some of them are| going to buy it. The more times lit is played, or “plugged” the higher the sales charts climb. i So, every night around dinner; time the song pluggers move in on the hotel dining rooms where the big dance bands play. Usually they are alone, They come in and sit down and kill a lot of time over! dinner, checking up on their own' numbers, checking up on the op- position. | i | That's what Bob Stone is doing right now. He is checking up. He, is sitting so close to the orchestra stand that he could reach out and! pull Blue Barron's leg. Mr. Barron| is the orchestra leader. Stone rep-) resents the Sam Fox publishing firm, and the song he is working on is “Tumbling Tumble Weeds." ' Four or five tables away are’ Mack Goldman, of the Harms)| company and Norm Foley, who‘ represents Witmark. Goldman Is, interested in “In A Little Dutch Garden.” Foley wants to hear “Make Love With a Guitar." Finally, there is Eddy Wolpin.' Mr. Wolpin is a Chappell man,| and he has a couple of winners just now, When he hears the or-' chestra play “All The Things You Are” it makes him very happy. When he hears “Do I Love You,”| that makes him happy too. If he can remain reasonably happy! throughout most of the week, his company will prosper, and indirect- ly he will too This may not seem fair to you, but money behind a song will make it just as quickly as talen'.| If you have a number that is a beauty, and another only half as retty, the proper exploitation will make a hit of the mediocre | while the really beautiful one dies. That's why song plug- gers are important. That's why, if| you are a composer, it is impor-| | | | tant to have them on your side. Pruit dumplings hold together Let- ter is baked in muffin pans.
