PENNEY'S OBSERVE
3OTH anniversary

Today is the thartieth anniversary
of the founding of the j. c. Penney
Company, April l4th, being the date
in 1902 when Nix. Penney opened the
store in the mining town OF KEN
marer. Wyoming, which ultimately
became the mother store of an or
ganizataon now covering every state
in the Union
Mr.. Penneys original invested ca
pital was $500, which, together with
his unsecured note for $500. bought
for him a one-third interest in the
che room shop operated under the
name Golden Rule Store" The othtr
two-thirds interet was owned by
Johnson and Callahan with head
quarters in Evanston. Wyoming.
The plan of allowing store mana
gers to acquire an interest in the
ST res they operated vas = growing
n in the West at that time 1t was
largely due to the fact that there was
little money
Early spread was close to KEN
merer and WAS largely in the states
# Utah, Colorado and Idaho
In 1907, Mr.. Penney acquired full
ownership of three stores in the
Johnson and Callahan group and inn
ne lately set his avowed plan of OPP
Grafton into effect
The plan was simple in its objects.
II put the possibility of store
partnership before every male asso-
CITE IN the company The man who

Mr.. Kiraly's Plans

It is Mr.. Victor Kiraly's idea
that musical stock at the Belasco
Theater would be generously sup.
ported by Washingtonians. Say,
with a guest star occasionally.
In fact it is Mr.. Kiraly's idea
that perhaps the same type of
entertainment would flourish at
the Washington Auditorium. In
the latter case at 81 top. At
the Belasco his scale would be
$1.50.
Surveying the Washington
scene and pleased at the outlook
Mr.. Kiraly is at the moment fig
uring costs and probable crosses,
also wage scales, rents, etc. He
will soon submit the Messrs.
Shubert an offer. For those who
may wonder who Mr.. Kiraly is ]
can testify he is one of the
Smartest theater executives in
the business, more recently be-
ing company manager for vari.

The Washington times., 1932-06-24

In the good old days of the
Roland Robbins-J Johnny Chevalier
regime at RKO-Keith's the Fiji
teenth Street house usually played
to $4,000 crosses and made a
tidy profit each week. 1t is Mr..
Beck's belief it could do it again
and other houses in the circuit
could also be placed squarely on
Prosperity Street once more with
vaudeville bills. That doesn't
mean abandoning entirely the
motion picture screen. Merely
making it subsidiary.
The Billboard hears that the
Beck plans are definite enough
to predict that the experiment
will be tried beginning in Sep
tember.
Tentative plans for RKO's next
vaude season include a Six-week-
trial resumption of vaude in prac-
tically all of the circuits houses
physically capable of playing
stage shows. Behind this scheme
is the reported understanding be-
tween Martin Beck, managing di-
rector of RKO vaudeville, and
Harold B. Franklin, president of
the circuit, that vaude has not
been given a fair break by RKO
since the trilettered monogram
supplanted the Keith-Albee trade
mark. They intend to put the
choice of entertainment squarely
up to the public itself, with Beck
firmly convinced that a combi-
nation of good vaude and pic
lures will win out over straight
film fare.
Beck's unwillingneSs to release
news on anything except a def
mite plan is holding back the de-
tails of this proposed monster re-
vival. 1t is estimated that the
circuit could start with at least
$50 weeks in September and, If
conditions warrant, could build
to over 200 by Christmas.

Boulevard Talk

Hollywood is waiting to see
Charlie Chaplin's reaction to the
signing of his two boys to play in
Fox pictures. Charlie pays $1,000
a month for the care of the
youngsters and last August he
made the final 100000 payment
of his divorce settlement to the
former Lita Gray.
Under the Fox deal, Mrs
Chaplin agreed for the boys to
make one picture this year and
two each in 1888 and 1884. The
studio has the right to use either
one or both of the children.

GwiIi Andre Is
Hit in First
Picture
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1882, King Features

HOLLYWOOD. Calf, June "a.
After looking at the work Of
Gwili Andre in her first picture,
RK-O has expressed itself as
satisfied.
The Danish beauty who had no
acting experience when she
came to Hollywood a few months
ago, will go into the cast Of
"'The Mysteries of the French
Secret Police" a film version Of
the H. Ashton-Wolfe articles that
appeared in the American
Weekly.
Miss Andre, designedly or not,
has Stunned Hollywood social life
since her arrival here. She is
beautiful, blonde and, according
to those who have seen Roar Of
the Dragon" a promising dis
covery as an actress.
OF course. you know she was
famous artists model in New
York before David Selznick
signed her up to movie
contract.
Some would have it that
R-K-O intends to develop her as
another Dietrich or Garbo.
Among the better squelches of
the week is the one handed to a
certain studio efficiency man
who is noted for his petty
economies.
The other night at the fights
he sat down next to a slightly
intoxicated actor. Leaning for
ward, the drunk Kissed loudly:
st know why you're here.
You've come to see they don't
waste any blows"

Vaudeville Comeback

Interesting is Martin Beck's
faith in old time vaudeville. He
refuses to believe that the great
audiences which patronized the
tWo-a-day shows have vanished or
been completely swallowed up by
those who crowd the lobbieS OF
the cinema shrines.
Mr.. Beck, being high in the
councils of Radio-Keith- -Orpheum,
is said to have convinced that
circuit old-time vaudeville is
worth another try. I know that
there are thousands in Washing
ton who share his belief programs
featuring the actor in the flesh,
rather than the screen entertain
ment, could prosper in this vicin,
ity.
The Washington times., 1932-06-24

SeSsed and chiseling siren with
the flaming top piece. Somehow
the good-looking stars have it
figured out that if you play roles
where the story makes you steal
the other woman's husband, it's
good bye Jenny so far as winning
the domesticated portion of the
audience. Jean Harlow dopes it
out this way: If the story is
good, if the direction and acting
superior, and everything else o.
K. for entertainment, everybody
wins. In other words, she would
rather play a bad girl in a good
picture than a good girl in bad
picture. Maybe she has the right
idea.
After finishing Katherine
Brush's book I reach the conclu-
sion the ideal choice for the role
of Lii would have been Clara
Bow. But I'm going to see Red
Headed Woman" before I commit
myself any further.
The Washington times., 1932-06-24
Some of Details

But enough of this. Let's for
get the alleged fight and go into
some of the surrounding details.
With me it was the customary
situation. I've been attending
these outdoor matches for some
years. I wade through the
crowds. I have my feet stepped
on and my back bent.
I never fail to have trouble
with my seats. Either someone
is sitting in them when get
there or someone wants them
after I arrive. I always lose
my stubs. I get terribly warm
and I long to be at home with
a radio. an electric fan and a
glass of pure grape juice.
When the fight is over it's al
ways the same battle getting
out of the place. On my way
out I discover that my suit is
full of paint. I finally fall
into my car, only to learn that
traffic is so heavy that 1 can't
move anyhow. So there I sit
tired, worn, hot, angry and dis
gusted.
"AS long as I live" I VOW to
my companions, "I'll never do
this again. Even if the fight
was good I wouldn't have en-
joyed myself. I'm finished with
this racket forever"
But when the next big fight
rolls along, where am I? Right
you are. Sitting in my car
tired, worn, hot, angry, dis
guSted and vowing never to go
again.
Among the favorite stunts of
the wise boys at a big fight is
the figuring of a method to beat
the gate for as much money as
posSible-and still to wind up
in a choice seat. Many of them
dope out different ideas for diff
ferent fights, but the one that
is most generally practiced is to
pass the buck-or the two bucks
to the various uSherS,
The Washington times., 1932-06-24
Jimmy Makes Good

Mr.. Johnston shook his head.
Mark" he returned, "as long
as you're a friend of Dan
Parker, there's nothing I
wouldn't do for you. The seats
will be there for you."
Jimmy made good-and the
seats were delivered. I deeply
regretted asking for passes, be-
cause I hate to put myself
under obligations to anyone.
But, in this case, what else
could I do?
Before the fight the very i'm
portant gentleman had dinner
with me. He didn't seem to
be in particularly good frame
Of mind.
"The foods not so hot" he
grumbled. tits hot out, too.
They tell me Well have a
heluva job getting to that
stadium. Are you sure you've
got good SeatS?"
I felt like poking him in the
nose. And, as I write this, I
don't mind whether he knows
it or not.
You'll see," I returned.
after all, they came from
Jimmy Johnston. And if he
can't take care Of us, I don't
know who can"
I didn't tell him that I had
broken a promise to myself
when I asked for those tickets.
I didn't tell him that I had
had no intention of attending
the encounter and that I was
going only because of him.
didn't tell him that I had
been cheated out of a trip I
wanted to make. After all,
there was. And I had to
make the best of it.
Still He CrumbIed
In due time, as the saying
goes, we reached the scene of
the fight. We entered the bowl
and we walked closer to the
ring. And when they finally
seated us we were in the third
of the six rows of press seats.
Jimmy Johnston had done a
noble job. The mayor of the
city was directly to our left and
Commissioner MulrOOnev was
directly to our right. We
couldn't have done better if we
had built the doggone place.
I peered at my companion.
WELL" I asked. How do you
like the seats"
He looked back into the end
less sea of faces in the rear.
''Not SO hot" was his amaz-
ing reply. "HOw the devil are
I'VE going to get out of here?'

ST ,culator, they would have
cost us $75 apiece. And we're
here for less than $25."
At that precise moment,
along came Mr.. Gene Tunney
and his party. Unfortunately,
Mr.. Tunney's stubs called for
the seats that the two Broad
wayiteS were so comfortably
filling. In far less time than it
takes to write this the two
wise men were being hustled
rapidly toward the rear.
They tried deSp 3rately to re-
claim some of the better loca-
tions for which they had paid.
Put the stadium was filled now,
and the attempt was futile.
So, completely disguSted, they
went far back to the rear of
the place to sit in the cheap
seats they had originally pur-
chased.
And what do you think they
found? You're right again.
Their places were occupied by
two tough-looking bozos who
dared the Broadwayites to put
them out!
The two wise men went
home.
I wasn't going to attend this
fight. I really meant it this
time, and I fully expected to be
in Atlantic City at the time of
the fight. But, on the Sunday
preceding the big engagement,
I was given a contract that
had to fill. A very important
gentleman in the newspaper
game insisted that I take him.
And conditions being as they
are, I couldn't very well refuse.
So I spoke to Jimmy Johnston,
the genial promoter of the fight.
Jimmy" I said, Il hate to
ask you for this favor, but
can't help myself under the cir
cumstances. I've got to have
two press seats as far front as
possible. You're not going to
fail me, are you?"

Work Down Front

The system is simple and
practical-when it works. But
here's what happened to two
Broadwayites of my acquaint-
ance at the Schmeling- -Sharkey
encounter:
They bought two seats for the
cheapest possible price; $3.50
each, I think they were. AS soon
as they were inside the stadium
they went to work on the usher
In the next section.
Here's a couple of bucks"
said the first wise man. Can
you fix us up with couple of
better SeatS?"
The usher was quite certain
that he could.
Follow me, buddy" he chirped.
I'm only too glad to take care
OF you. Right this way"
AS soon as they were seated
IN that section, the first wise
man s1gnaled an usher in the
section ahead.
now much for two seats
down ' there?" he whispered.
Three bucks" replied the
usher promptly. II used to
charge five, but I gotta string
along with the depression.
Well, there's no use boring
you with the details. The rou,
tine was the same all along
The line. Finally, after the ex,
pendlture of exactly $19, the
Two Broadwayites were seated
as close to the ring as it was
possible to get. And the first
one smiled happily.

COLD CREEK

Robert Schlosser was a Yakima bus
mess visitor Tuesday and Wednesday.
Mrs. S. O. Drawn returned home
Wednesday from Yakima, after having
been a guest at the l.. o. Shelledy
home there since Monday.
A son was born to Mr.. and Mrs. w.
G. Cassal at st. Elizabeth's hospital in
Yakima, Tuesday, April H. He has
been named Ronald Robert.
Robert Sisk was taken to St. Eliza
beth's hospital in Yakima, Monday, to
receive treatment for an attack of APP
pendicitis. A severe cold from which
he was suffering at the time developed
into pneumonia, and it was necessary
to postpone the operation for the re-
moval of his appendix. Mrs. Sisk &C.
companied him to Yakima and will re-
main near the hospital at the home of
Mrs. Myrtle Chambers until her hus-
bands condition improves.
