VAUDEVILLE—With Larry

«By WILLIAM LOVELL United Press Staff Correspondent WAUWATOSA, Wis., Dec. 19.—A little Wauwatosa movie theater has introduced an innovation—the

love seat. It frankly is designed for young courtship. The Tosa Theater management considered the conventional single-seat chair an impedi-

ment to adolescent romance and decided to do something abous it. The love seat is a well upholstered, roomy—but not too roomy —theater chair which will accommodate two occupants. To get a closeup of the love |

house. He went alone. The love seats were there, all right. There was one at each end of every other row in the center section—about 40 in" all. But on this particular night, romance had deserted the Tosa. so the reporter sleuthed up and down the aisles he found only one in’ that,

Praise From Management

An interview with N. S. Cohan, manager, brought an emphatic denial, however, that this disappointing state of affairs was typical. Trouble was, he explained, it was cold, blustery Wednesday night and the Tosa was showing a couple of more or less non-roman-tic pictures—hardly a combination to turn a young man’s fancy to thoughts of a love seat.

“Drop in some week-end night

{when we're featuring Robert Tay-

lor or Greta Garbo and you'll get a different impression,” he said. Most of the love seat patrons are high-school age couples, according to Cohan, although they range “up to about 30.” They're generally not bashful about seeking the seats, either, he said, describing how the young men ask for them with studied nonchalance while the girls giggle. The theater’s discerning ushers, too, usually: can spot a diffident couple who “obviously wouldn’t

muster the courage to ask for one. If there's a cuddle chair vacant, the usher skillfully steers them to it. No Protests Made Conduct of occupants of the love seats, said Cohan, has been “ex|emplary.” No protests have been {registered by other theater patrons, |parents, pastors or anyone else, he said. “Ushers are instructed to watch for any indiscreet behavior,” said Cohan. “Moreover, the fact that love seats are located oily in every other row exercises a restraining (influence on their occupants, since {there usually is someone behind |them who is primarily interested in the movie.” There are no love seats in the last row.

KERN'S DAUGHTER GRANTED DIVORCE

Elizabeth Jane Kern Green, daughter of composer Jerome Kern, is free to live as she pleases, without the “dictatorial” attempts of her husband to “make her over.” | She obtained an interlocutory decree of divorce from Richard Green, film director and brother of band leader Johnny Green, on her testimony that Mr. Green was hypercritical. “Almost from the very first after out marriage, my husband criticized me—my friends, clothes, appearance and housework,” she told Judge Rubén Schmidt. “He was very dictatorial.” The Greens married in New York on Oct. 7, 1939. Miss Kern left Mr. Green last September and went to live with her father in Beverly Hills, she said.

WAR AND ELECTION HURT BOX OFFICE

NEW YORK, Dec. 19 (U. P)— The war and the Presidential campaign cut into moving picture box office grosses in 1940, Variety’s annual survey of the films showed today. The amusement trade paper said that October—usually a good month for the motion picture industry— was a relatively poor one at the box office because of the election. It predicted that “Gone With the

mount Pictures, Inc, and two Chie cago distributors have been fined in Federal Court for violation of an anti-monopoly decree entered in 1932 to restrain discriminatory book ing of films.” Judge Charles A.

Roland Young in

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 19 (U.P). — During his 18 years in Hollywood, Roland Young appeared in nearly 200 movies before he played his first love scene for the cameras. “I was beginning to think,” he said, with British conservatism, “that producers didn’t consider me the romantic type.” Then Producer-Director Herbert Wilcox came -along and kicked Young’s monastic record aside. For in “No, No, Nanette,” Roland not only lavishes domestic affection upon Anna Neagle and Helen Broderick, but he has torrid love scenes
