1t was, in effect, the same proposal
that was to arrest the worlds atten-

that it would have been an effective
peace move, for the factories and

New York, March Metropolitan
theatres are dispensing with bank
night" and the other prize give-aways
ranging from cash to sets of hand
painted china which featured the
"neighgorhood" movie shows through
out the depression years.
Three Of the big movie house chains
have already abandoned the practice.
Whether the smaller houses, the indie
pendents, will follow suit, remains
problematical. My guess is that the
bonanza nights will continue, but that
the great days of the notion are draw
ing to a close.
People have begun again going to
the movies to see the films on view in
their neighborhood houses instead of
to play "screeno," "bingo" or any one
of a dozen prize games, or simply sit
and hope they drew a lucky number.
But there were some engaging cpl
sodes connected with the awards dur
ing the boom days Of the depression.
One girl from the Bronx entered a
Brooklyn theatre and was awarded
$4,000 She added the prize money to
thin dime in her purse, the last she
had in the world.
Now the chain houses imply by
dropping bank nights that business is
good enough to get along without the
cash allures. And "bank nights" new
er penetrated the big Broadway cine
ma cathedra:s, although from time to
time the rumor was out that one or
another Of them was weakening
Harbinger of Spring: penthouse
neighbors leaning over picket fences
in the sky to gossip.
The manager of one of the deluxe
hotels say my readers might giggle
over this one:
The other evening an extremely OBJ
vious pair of newlyweds registered at
the hotel. The bridegroom was shy
to the point of panic and when the
chambermaid grinned at his filters, he
slipped her a dollar.
"Just-just don't tell anybody we're
bride and groom he begged.
A few minutes later a bell-hop pop
ped into the parlor fthe suite with
telegram.
whats this? Newlyweds? he asked
the chanbcrmaid.
"Oh, no. she cried Loyalty, clutching
her dollar. They amt newlyweds
They're they're just friends"
