Barron was introduced to dra-

into office by General Manager

hated to lose him but he earned
this promotion"

three Loew theaters have enjoyed
the most prosperous period Of
their careers. The Fox has been
taken "out Of the red" and is
consistent money maker. The
Palace continues to sustain repu-
tation for ranking with the six
most consistent winners among
profitable movie houses in the
United States. The second run"
policy, at the Columbia, originated
under Mr.. Barron, has made the
venerable theater a continued F
Street asset. Added up 1t makes
Washington stand out territory on
the Loew ledgerS.
With a personal record that is
spotless, Carter Barron has &C.
uuired q host Of friends who will
share joy in this promotion. I wish
him luck as q friend and perfect
type Of Southern gentleman who I
feel Is destined to march ahead in
a highly competitive business con-
tinually confronted with problems
requiring Barron tact, intelligence
and diplomacy.

Made Success Here
He is extremely sensitive to
Washington opinion and has
fought vigorously to keep his stage
clean. Cane waving comedians,
fan dancers and acts which de-
pend upon questionable material
for their entertainment value
have been frequently turned down
for F Street appearance, often
after having been definitely
booked for showing here.
His own censor, the Barron Fri
day morning arguments with acts
have served to maintain moral
standard and a sense of decency
that has made the work Of the
policewomen and official censors
an easier task.
Hospitality, both in back and
front of the theater, has made him
the leading host in Washington
amusements. He believes in par

headliners and secure them added
type and pictorial attention. He
welcomes all acts which play the
Fox on arrival, sends them away
with pleasant word.
He hasn't always been able to

Opening night the principal

the last act and apOlOgized to
the audience for not knowing the
part. But, she stated, she would
read it from the script for the
remainder Of the play. She was
beyond prompting. While the
players waited on stage she
rushed to her dressing room and
came back with the script, only
to discover it was tough reading
without her glasses. So she had
to walk around the stage holding
the script at arms length and
fitting it toward the fOotlights.
The next night there was close

You will find him shaking out a

work is through for Bill Levy's

Young Mr.. Reagan hopes to

long contract.

dancers and those who know that
the Russell sepia hot melody
makers is the one that Is now
travelling fastest.
If you like to see young col
legiates stepping on high, Mr.
Stern suggests coming out to-
night and watching a "shag''
contest. This is a dance that
originated in Harlem, one that
abounds in action and that the
more enthusiastic dance floor ex-
perts delight in exhibiting. 1t is
not for those with falling arches
or creaking veins but If you
would see youth in reckless
rhythm here's your fun.
