Jim Sam Houston Declares He
is Going to Make the Gem
Theater a Winner in Vaude-
vile. !,

j.. Fl. Houston, better known as Jim
and real inventor of the smile that
won't come off is back in town.
Houston is just about the livest wire
in the show business hat eve hit AL
buquerque. He will be well remem-
bered because of his stay of several
weeks in Albuquerque three years ago
at that time manager of an opera COM
pany. Houston is now in the moving
picture "showshop" and vaudeville
managing business. He is the owner
OF the Gem theater in this city; of an
up-to-date play house in Amarillo and
is going down TO Ell Paso in a day or
two to make arrangements for starting
one there. Houston, who is the man
that started the Floto shows, and who
is a veteran of tho show business in
the southwest, says he is determined
to make a winner out of the Gem
theater here. Houston has a weak
spot for Albuquerque. lie has been
making good with his theater in Am
arillo, and when he saw a chance to
head i'm here again he was not slow
I'm taking it.
Things began to move as soon as
Houston blew in. Big posters an
%nouncing that 1T Happens for Ten
Cents were on the street in a few
nOurr, ana Things commenced to mum
at the Gem. Houston believes that the
people wan one good vaudeville house
n he proposes to give the people of
Albuquerque the very best vaudeville
there is in the west.
The way he is booking up the classy
attractions shows that he intends to
make good.
Going to stay in Albuquerque for a
while said Houston yesterday. This
always did look good to me. I'm
going TO turn loose and give the peo-
pie the best vaudeville that they ever
saw in Albuquerque. If they don't like
il. that's their lookout But I'm going
the limit while I'm trying"
1t Is Going to Happen for Ten
Cents" TO beat the band for a while.
Houston means business; he is a
booster extraordinary, he never had a
crouch in his life and has lever failed
to make good yet on anything he
tackled.
