B—16 AM USEMENTS. Querying Certain Occult Ideas in Local Theaters Machines Solving All Problems for a Mod- erate Fee Were Funny Only BY ROBERT B. J unheralded gypsy blood in theis Once. PHILLIPS, JR. UST how much longer will certain local cinema theater managers con- tinue to peddle simplified solutions of all life’s problems through a miraculous machine called the astrolograph? When will the hitherto r veins cool off enough for them to hearken to suggestions that occult divinations are better sold in darkened rooms? There has been considerable speculation on the subject lround town recently. Film patrons have beel astounded to discover that at least three powers behind picture presenta- tion here were secretly en rapport with the occult spirits all these years. And nothing ever sald about it in the hand-outs. No mention was made of their al- liance with the Fates and the Destinies. in fact, until trailers began to appear in every complete show at their down- town houses. The reels explained that for a mere bagatelle one could retire to the lobby, punch a machine and pull out all answers to one's personal woes and hopes. Ostensibly the house collected a percentage for every punch. | It sounded extremely convenient, but more than a few fans began to wonder when these hitherto dignified emporia of cinematic art would begin to im- port the rest of the trimmings—the | two-headed calves, the barkers and pitchmen. At first it was presumed this fad would last only a week or so. Show- men have tried before to sell adver- tising reels to people who had paid for entertainment. It never worked The wiser metropolitan circuits aban- doned the practice years ago. In this instance, however, the game has gone on unabated for many weeks. As late as last Friday it was still in full swing in three houses. And there have been complaints long before this one. A joke's & joke, but—a word to the wise is also worth two in the bush. * ok ok x "EAST LYNNE" begins another week tonight in the Willard Players’ eabaret theaier in the National Press Building The Studio of the Theater Arts, di- rected by Constance Connor Brown, will offer three full-length plays this season in connection with the courses in acting and stage-craft given at the school.
