Mercury Record star John Laurenz, who is fast becoming one of the top vocalists of the country, is pictured here with Mitch Miller, Mercury’s bearded recording director, during a recent session in New York City. Laurenz, in addition to his singing activities has been featured in many motion picture films in the past few years. Born blind, he regained his sight at the age of seven. John worked at a variety of occupations until he turned to singing at the suggestion of his friend Russ Columbo. Music operators have climbed aboard the Laurenz bandwagon as evidenced by the rising popularity of his latest platter releases, “Red Roses For a Blue Lady” and “Once In Love With Amy.” Direction: General Artists Corporation. Personal Manager: Art Talmadge. first WITH THESE 12^IG FEATURES

OF 1949 SHOW

CHICAGO CHATTER

The Windy City seemed rather dead this last week with all the hustle hustle of the CMI show over. The factories were experiencing the usual relax- ing period that comes after the convention. Almost all the hoys are of the opinion that the show was a success. The majority now have an optimistic outlook regarding future business for all in the industry . . . Over at Bally Mfg. Co. Captain Tom Callaghan is receiving congrats for being selected as Governor Adlai Stevenson’s choice for Director of Public Safety for the State of Illinois. However, “Dapper Tom” turned down the position in favor of remaining with his long-time friend Ray Moloney, prexy of Bally ... As a result of the show the boys at Bally are now comparing the corridors of the plant with those of Grand Central Station. During convention week coinmen were flocking there to get a look at the factory which has given operators one of the greatest one-ball games of all time in “Citation.”

Visitors included: Clarence Camp, Southern Amusement Co., Memphis; Joe Abraham, Lake City Amusement Co., Cleveland; R. F. Jones of San Francisco and Salt Lake City; Lou Dunis, Portland Amusement, Portland, Ore.; Lou London, Philadelphia; Ed Heath, Heath Distrib. Co., Macon, Ga.f Sam Taran, Miami Beach; Eddie Corriston, Palisades Specialties Co., Cliff- side Park, N. J.; T. Styers, Winston-Salem, N. C.; J. Bosch & party from New Orleans Pinball Operators Association; B. D. & J. D. Lazar, Pittsburgh;

the Downie Bros., Windsor, Ont. ; Ben MacDonald, Fort Worth, Tex.; George Wrenn, Walbox Sales Co., Dallas, with Mr. & Mrs. Wm. Keel; Mrs. Jack R. Moore, Los Angeles; Lou Cate, Union Vending, Baltimore; Duke Luker, Chris- topher-Luker Co., Miami; Finley Duncan, Valparaiso, Fla.; T. Walker, South-

land Novelty Co., Columbus, Tenn. ; Gus Valem, Amsterdam, Holland; and George Alcorn of Miami.

Spoke with Ed Vojack of 0. D. Jennings & Co. who informs us that Jen- nings’ open house (held during the show) was a huge success with more coin- men attending their display at the plant than in any other previous years. Ed tells us that Jennings’ new “Sun Chief’ made such a hit that distributors are now planning to hold individual showings. The first to be at Jack Rosenfeld Co. in St. Louis on Jan. 29 & 30th, with others to follow thruout the country

. . . H. F. (Denny) Dennison continues to be a very busy guy, setting up his new Chi office which is scheduled to open the first part of this month. His Chicago headquarters will concentrate on sales and promotional work. “And if the marvelous reception we received at the convention is any indication, then we should do okay,” says Denny.

We hear from Joe Caldron that AMI has appointed Western Distributors, Inc., in Portland, Ore., and Seattle, Wash., as their new distribs for Washing- ton, Oregon, Northern Idaho, and Western Montana. The Portland firm is headed by Budge Wright with George Trambetas in charge of the Seattle office ... Joe reports that the two trailers AMI now has on the road are doing a splendid job, receiving a very enthusiastic reception from ops and distribs, and are going to continue their swing around the country . . . Had a nice visit with Harold Klein of Milwaukee who is once again taking an active part in the coinbiz. Harold was all hepped up over the wonderful reception his firm, Shuffieback Co., received at the convention. He stated that their shuffieboard was attracting much attention from distributors.

Called over at Illinois Simplex and found Gordon Sutton sticking close to the home front, trying to wind up a few loose ends that were left from the coinshow. Gordon was all smiles over the way things were moving along and predicted this year would be a good one for the coin machine business . . . Dropped around to United Mfg. Co. where Billy DeSelm was busy taking roll call to see that everyone made it back from the convention. Billy and the rest of the hoys appeared to be pretty well bushed after all the recent excite- ment but claimed it was a good show, a good time, and well worth it . . . Plenty of talk over at Chicago Coin about the crowds of coinmen that made their way to Chicoin’s booth . . . A1 Stern and Wally Fink are a couple of happy guys over the results of their showing at the convention. The boys recently redecorated their showrooms, offices, and shop, and had a very good opportunity to show these to the many visitors that flocked to World Wide

Distributors . . . Talked with Fred Mann who claims he still hasn’t been able to catch his breath as a result of the terrific crowds that visited the Morrison Hotel to see the new Trans-Vue equipment. “The showing was a tremendous success, recei^^ng acclaim from one and all,” says Fred.

Over at Rock-Ola Mfg. Corp. Art Weinand settled down to work again, answering phone calls from coinmen he had said “Goodbye” to the day before. According to Art, everyone calls to tell him “It’s good to get home and relax, but,” says Art, “now I have to really get back on the job” . . . Williams Mfg. Co. getting lots of nice orders on their new five-ball “Tucson.” And prexy Hariy Williams still receiving congrats from all over the country on his appointment as President of CMI . . . Joe Beck tells us what a terrific kick he of gets out watching coinmen play his new Telequiz machine. “It’s a game READING FROM TOP TO BOTTOM (Left): (1) Jock Mitnick, Beacon Coin Machine Co., Boston, Mass., that makes a hit with everybody,” says Joe . . . Bumped into Hugh McGarrity, and Sam Bushnell of Standard Factors. There's been a thousand and one stories about how Jack broke president of the Simplex Export Co., who is as busy as the proverbial bee his leg. (2) Willie (Little Napoleon) Blatt, Supreme Distributors, Miami, Fla., with Mac Churvis, the readying his new loop headquarters . . . Spoke with Monte West, who recently resigned his position with AMI. Monte stated that his plans were uncertain demon Chicago advertising man. (3) Jules Olshein, Albany, N. Y.; Abe Rechschafter, Hartford, Conn., at the present time but said he expected to continue on in the coin machine and Hymie Rosenberg, N. Y. C., rest up at The Cash Box booth. (4) Mr. and Mrs. Sam Stern, Williams field. Manufacturing Co. (5) Bill Rabkin, and the staff of International Mutoscope Corp., at their booth.

The boys over at Genco Mfg. Co. plenty thrilled over the way their new READING game “Floating Power,” which was one of the hits of the show, went away FROM TOP TO BOTTOM (Right): (1) Roy Bazelon, with the Monarch Shuffieboard. (2) over the top in sales . . . Caught Joe Klein of Atlas Novelty hustlin’ thru the Earl Moloney and Carl Hoelzel talking things over with Bill Gersh.
