Bj Sam Raddon Jr. -
ONE would naturally think,' unless he
topped ' to- think., that convention
. and Rose' Festivals and such 'like oc
casions, which brine visitors to see the
city and bring home-folks down town
to see the visitors, would be "great
business" for the theatres.
As a matter of fact, theatre managers,
so far as their own Individual profits are
concerned, would rather escape such oc
casions. People who come to the city
from other cities and who come down
. town from Rose City; Sellwood and other
way stations, come to se what's going
on in the way of special -convention at
tractions, and not to attend the theatre
and the movies. T
They Jin up six deep on the sidewalks
waiting for the parades. They follow
the bands and laugh at the antics of
, the merry-makers, and get filled up on
carnival . spirit and strawberry soda and
never give a thought to paying good
money to see a theatre show.
If it rains, of course, it's a different
story but then even the most penurlous1
nanager in town wouldn t wish for ram
vfcext week. f
The theatres will just naturally take
what business drifts their way and let
the rest of the world go: by.
