Patrons Aged so
forgotten Class
Of Movie-Attendants

HOLLYWOOD, CALIF.-The for
gotten man of the movies is the
theatre-goer over 80 years of age.
That's the contention of Maxwell
Shane. producer. who declares the
movie industry will boom when it
realizes that fact.
People over 80" he says. "are
finding it more comfortable to sit
at home in the evening instead of
going to a movie scaled to the men,
tally of a 15-year old" Shane's
observation was made after a sur
vey tour of movie-going habits in
"a states.
These people of 80 are the Gus
toners the movies are losing" he
said, land the ones we have to re-
establish in the movie-going habit"
The movie industry can stop
worrying about customers under
80. Shane believes. He said he's
found they'll go to the movies any
way, regardless of what may be
playing.
Children 60 to the movies no
matter what the picture u.s." he
said. They just go to the pictures.
They like the cowboy pictures. Of
course. but the fact is they'll go to
anything that's playing on the Sat
urday matinee.
when they're a little older they
go to pictures largely as a social
function. They go with their gang
or their school club. Hollywood
can't lose them"
Shane's next classification of
movie-goers is the older juvenile
young adult age.
They're having dates and they
go to the movies because it's a
relatively inexpensive place to take
a girl and a dark place to hold her
hand" /
But the folks who are making the
dents in the box-office returns, he
insists, are the ones over 80 who
won't go out to a show unless they're
sure it's a good one.
''They are more selective." says
Shane. because they go to fewer
shows and also because their taste
IS more mature"

80-Year Old Office Boy
Takes Delight in Tasks

NEW YORK, N.Y.-In the course
Of his 80 years, Orley j. Church
has sold everything from groceries
to life insurance. He has been a
farmer, a soldier, an undertaker's
assistant and a shipping clerk. But
it wasn't until he reached II that
he found the job he says he likes
best.
Five days a week, Church takes
the subway from the furnished room
where he lives alone here to the
Cushman baking plant in Long Is
land City. He walks briskly up two
flights of stairs, hangs up his hat
and coat and assumes his duties as
office boy.
Like most businesses, Cushman's
general office opens at 9 am.
Church is always there at 7. Startled
company officials first tried to point
out he wasn't expected that early,
but it didn't do any good. Il enjoy
it," the office boy told them.
He joined the baking firm follow
ing the death Of his wife. Effie,
after a prolonged illness which took
most of his savings. All his close
relatives are dead. A fellow church
member helped him get a job with
Cushman's and the arrangement
turned out to be a happy one.
Upon Church'S Both birthday, a
special cake was baked in his honor.
The company's top officers invited
him to luncheon. They gave him a
raise and a letter from Gordon S.
Cushman, the firms president.
"You have always created an
atmosphere of enthusiasm and TX
uberance, which has been extended
to all those around you" it said.
Frank Rollent, the office manag-
err, is constantly thwarted by
Church in efforts to keep the office
boy from running up and down.

Collopy explained his staff

BILE. Nearly 200 extra employees
are now bein g recruited to
handle the job without disrupt

The first of the new employees,
the Administrator said, reported

The complex nature of the

"But we are doing everything
