Ballyhooing has become quite the
rage with many of the local play
houses. When Buster Keaton was
recently here with "Battling Butler”
the Palace had a regular prize ring
elevated in the lobby, with chairs,
buckets and sponges in two corners,
and it attracted a great deal of at
tention. Recently at the Mutual stuff
ed figures riding wooden horses were
outside the entrance, and a clown
played the saxophone, drawing crowds
like a regular sideshow. Last week
Manager Robbins had George Bunce’s
Orchestra playing away for dear life
just inside the lobby, and the cus
tomers appeared to enjoy the inno-
I vatlon as they crowded in through
the entrance.
