An Invitation
to the Editors of “The American Weekly”
Gentlemen: In your issue of October 19, 1947, page 28, you featured an article, "WHO GETS YOUR JUKE BOX NICKEL?”, along with an illustration depicting the average automatic music merchandiser as someone closely identified and associated with a "racket”. Rather than enter into a long discussion here as to the many erroneous statements which have bee.i made in this article, and to also defend myself, my friends and my family from being tainted with the word
"racket” , I would much rather extend this invitation to you to visit with
me , at my expense , to go over my books with me , call on my customers with me and learn at first hand whether the automatic music business, in which I am now engaged, is so startlingly lucrative as you state in this article and also whether it is, or it not, a "racket".
' I feel that you owe me, my family, my children, my friends, an apology. I feel, too, that the best way for you to really understand our business is to visit with us. I believe that then you will retract a great many statements which were male in this article and that you will also believe with us that we are bringing America's own popular music to millions of people everywhere in these United States (and in many foreign countries) on the most economical basis which this music has ever been sold. Sold so economically, in fact, that the average juke box merchant has very little but a living left for himself these days.
I do most sincerely hope that you will accept my personal invitation to visit with me and learn more aboul the industry, which your article so sensationally and erroneously labeled "a racket", so as to once and for all time correct that impression. H/ery truly yours

Apollo, as an independent recording company, is hurriedly recording material to build up as large a backlog of records as possible. Tne impending" record ban, set for December 31, wnen existing contracts with platteries throughout the entire na- tion become void, has attracted nation- wide attention, in view of its tremendous implications.

Irving Katz, New York branch sales promotion manager estimated that Apollo can carry on normal operations for the next two years. Included in the rapid recording ses- sions by Apollo were sides cut by Lee Richardson and the Luis Russell orches- tra, The Three Bibs and a Bob, be bop group, Dean Martin, comedy partner of Jerry Lewis currently appearing at the Riviera Club, N.

Already many more tunes have crept into the charts to be found in this issue. In addition, artists who were low on the lists, have jumped to new, and even com- manding, positions. Only a very few seem to have estab- lish leads of such outstanding signifi- cance that it remains but a matter of just how many votes they will draw when the final count is made. For the Best Moneymaking Record of 1947, the Harmonicats with their famed recording of the “Peg” are still holding the lead, and have more solidly estab- lisned tnemseives this past week. Other tunes have now started to creep up on them. It will be noticed that there are I four different recordings of the “Peg” in this all-important category and, as a tune, if these are added together, there is no doubt ox the great popularity of this number. _ , For the Best Orchestra of 1947, Eddy Howard seems to have most definitely e-j.aun.mea n.s title ox “Juke Box King” in this regard, having passed the 50,0U0 vote marK, and seems to be getting votes with each mad that arrives. But, right below him, there’s a “battle of the ages" going on with Freddy Martin, Guy xmmbardo, Vaughn Monroe, Claude Thornhill, Sammy Kaye, Ted Weems and the others pressing for the next spot, and pressing hard. The votes, tho, seem to be well divided up among them and positions continually keep cnanging. As the Best Female Vocalist of 1947, Jo Stafford has taken the lead and held it, so far, but Dinah Shore is creeping up closer daily. This is one of the most torrid battles in the charts with the pos- sibility that the lead may change over- mgnt i'nere are many xa.iS for both these grand gals and it wouldn’t take much to of these STARTLING SONGS make tms one of the hottest contests of Both all time. <5 SAMMY TAIN , cate- hff JACK YELLEN a. i e Best Male Vocalist of 1947 gory, Perry Como has taken the largest number of votes so far cast and is gain- ing more every day.

Art Lund and Frank-e Lair.e, Frank Sinatra, Billy Eckstine and Vic Damone as well as Buddy Clark and some of the others, are sure to make this one of the most interesting charts. x'ur tne uest Female Vocal Combina- tion, the Andrews Sisters are simply At walking right away from the field.

One of these letters states, “There is no reason why the leading music pub- lishers, many of whom ask us to nelp popularize their tunes, shouldn t come in with u; at tins time to help put over the drive which this industry is conducting in behalf of the Damon Runyon Memorial Cancer Fund. “We’ve gone all out”, this letter con- tinues, “and we believe that with the day’s collections we have donated from our juke boxes, the very fact that the songs being featured, are those of some of the leading publishers of the nation, that they, too, should enter into this great fund drive with us. “I’m sure”, this letter states, “that the music publishers are with us. They all realize we have done a tremendously swell job for the Damon Runyon Me- morial Cancer Fund. Especially since we know that they all listen to Walter Win- chell’s broadcasts and also read his col- umn. “Let’s all get together”, the letter reads, “ar.d do this grand work with all of us cooperating loO per cent. Let us all, juke box operators, artists, music publishers and record manuiacturers do this for Damon Runyon for it is the most worthy cause which has ever been placed before our industry and we should ask all of our friends, like the music pub- lishers, to come in with us at this time.” The coin machine industry has gone all out for the Damon Runyon Memorial Cancer Fund. It has already given to Walter Winchell two checks totalling $120,000.00. It intends to pass the v~^«j,vUo.uU mark, (in fact, some juke box leaders hope to pass the $1,000,000.00 machine con- 4 mark by the Line tne coin -yjz'r vention rolls around.) are asking the music pub- These men •~xf- 7fc»- £/•»<« lishers of this nation to enter into this effort with them so that they reach the $250,000.00 mark sooner and promise that those music publishers who will be among die first to volunteer their aid in such fashion that will prove outstanding they will go all out for such publishers in every way they possibly can.

Headed “Who Gets Your Juke Box Nickel”, the article (see The Cash Box, October 20, page 27 and this issue, page 9), thru many er- roneous statements smears the juke box business in the most vicious manner. Manufacturers, distributors and opera- tors have phoned, wired and written us voicing their protests. Loren P. Meyer wired “Acquainted with articles. Expect to discuss it with manufacturers at next meeting”. One of the most stirring protests came from Mack H. Postel of Chicago in a long letter, part of which reads “It is my opinion that this article should not go unprotested. Because some young pub- licity seeking writer for the Hearst or- ganization sees fit to sling mud on a law ab.ding group of business men, engaged in the phonograph music business, com- posed of manufacturers with millions of dollars invested, distributors and opera- tors, men who go about earning an hon- est peaceful living, supplying music to the public, the general public should be familiarized with the gross injustice done our industry, and the writer should ffices be called to task for his unwarranted attack. Unless our industry takes the , Kansas City, Kansas necessary steps towards such slanderous curbing, it is likely to gain in momen- tum. The public should know the truth. Immed ate action should be taken by the Antoine Street, Montreal, Que. music-box industry against untruthful and adverse publicity.” A wire from James Mangan, CMI Pub- Cinaudagraph Speakers Division of Aireon lic Relations head reads “Sending protest editor ‘American Weekly. ”. Everyone in the industry should fill out the “Invitation” appearing on page 9 AS of this issue and mail it to the Editors of the American Weekly, so that they, other publications and the public at large can find out once and for all time what type of business is conducted by the mu- sic machine trade. — COIN MACHINE MOVIES — FOR REGULAR PANORAMS AND SOLO-VUES REELS OF 8 AND 6 SUBJECTS Our Films Set The Dimes PRICEPHONOFILM$32.50 TO $38.50 Per Reel 3331 NO.
