+ And pictures, ° Walt Disney's “Fantasia® has at last ‘bowed out of New York after 50 weeks. The studio announcement says they were “highly successful weeks,” and that may be. But the

i “trade” knows that in other pre-

cincts, “Fantasia” in general and Mr, Disney in particular took. a box office “beating.” Even one of RKO’s own press agents admitted that Mr. Disney “lost a fortune” on his ill-fated attempt to illustrafe fine music. Principal reason for the poor - reaction was the extensive sound equipment required. Most theater owners simply could not see. the advisability of rewiring their whole house, and so a lot of the mechanical traps are as of now laying out in the RCA warehouse. » 8 »

Opera at English's THE MARTENS season opens next Monday night at English’s and several in the cast of “The Barber of Seville,” the first production, owe at least a debt -of gratitude to the Latin American admiration of opera. Carlos Ramirez, leading baritone of the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires is one, and Georgette Bourdon, American contralto, is another, Born in ‘Whitehall, N.

Why Nickels Go Into Slot

‘Juke Box' Girls Study What Customers Want

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 28 (IU: P) — No matter how they start out, they usually end up on some variation of the same theme: “Honey, are you half ‘as pretty as you sound?” This was one of the things Universal studio learned when it made some research on the subject of the voice-operated “juke box” : movie in preparation. The Young woman with the pretty voice is’ known by the professiohal pseudonym of “Miss Penny” and she and her sisters probably hear more tales in an evening than any bartender in town. In checking up on the Miss

Maisies and Juke Box Jennies, Universal gathered considerable information for its picture “Fifty Million Hilliard

Nickels,” starring Harriet and Ken Murray.

Five Groups of Customers

It was found that the girls at the microphones classify their cus-| tomers roughly into five groups. The first is the misunderstood husband, who may want something sort of sad, like, “I'm Alone.” She'll give him his sad plece, at first, but usually will try to talk him into a better mood and some snap-

| pier music. Usually it works, and be-

fore long his nickels are producing Jumpin’ jive and he wants to know, “Honey, are you half as pretty as you sound?” ‘Another type is the “hepcat,” or “hipcat,” as some spell it, probably

‘And before long he'll say, “Say, kid, you don't sound Ike no

river of rhythm rose from its source in a puddle of bathtub. gin. Leon was a headwaiter, Eddie a smalltime entertainer back in the speakeasy days, when they pooled their talents and money and moved into one of the brownstown houses: of what was then a decaying residential district. Leon Enken applied himself to cuisine and service, Eddie held the floor show together. So successful ys dotted the block, but most of them couldn’t stand the legitimacy of repeal. A couple of others also survived, but they frown on mention

d lof their humble beginnings. Leon

and Eddie don’t care—as long as the customers keep coming.

The Gold Dust Twins

With 40 per cent of their trade from out of town, the Gold Dust Twins (a nickname based on their income) have a good idea of what goes on outside of the metropolis. Especially Eddie, whose repertoire ranges from Bach to back alley. “But,” he said, “do they ask me now for ‘Daisy the Dallas Delight’? No. They want straight stuff like ‘I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire’ and ‘That Old Feeling.’ And I find I get ‘most applause when I do something with a somewhat patriotic theme like ‘You're a Lucky Fellow, Mr. Smith,’ and ‘Therell Always Be an England.’ “I know everything under the sun has been blamed on national defense and I hate to add this, but do you think the crisis has anything to do with the trend? And if will I do with library of roundelays?” Another ‘Blessing’

But at that moment some salesman from Duluth began calling for “Im the Great Doctor Proctor,” and Eddie leaped up, his face beam-

e chortled, “do you hear that? Maybe all 35 not yet lost.” Another speakeasy blessing is Dr. Sydney Ross, Ph. D., a suave, mustached cosmopolite who came to this city from the University of London to feach psychology. If it hadn't been for V the night club world would not/have Dr. Ross and the how Room would not have had its longest running attraction—five and a ‘half years. Dr. Ross was getting a drink prior to assaulting the halls
