H. A. Cole. Nathan Brown of Variety Tent 17, winner last year of the television set given away for selling the most tickets in the Cadillac-Ford giveaway, appears to be in the lead again this year in sale of tickets for the two-car giveaway to be made Saturday night, December 20. Brown has sold more than 1,500 tickets to date and we asked him for his formula. "First of all, we must be thoroughly and enthusiastically sold on the work of the club ourselves," he said. "Then we must be ready to talk to everyone we meet about the fine work of the club and these awards. Then we should not even wait to meet people, but aggressively go into various places of business and make it our business to meet a substantial number of people each day to whom we shall tell our story. Don't miss anyone, they'll all be interested. Your best prospects, however, are salesmen on the road and conventioneers. I have sold hundreds to salesmen and conventioneers right here in the Adolphus hotel." The Lyric in Brownwood has been sold by Interstate to Guy Cameron and P. G. Cameron, effective December 1 . Joe Hahn, . . accountant for Isley Theatres, spent the recent weekend in New Orleans visiting his sister and other relatives. He also visited friends whom he knew with the old Publix Theatres Corp., particularly his former boss, Carl Dixon, now head auditor for Paramount Gulf Coast Theatres. Competition Reduces Output The reduction in the nimiber of films produced in England during the last year is said to be due to severe competition from imports, heavy taxation and restrictions in overseas markets. Swiip ^' ^'^'^^^B.rai^ Interstate $5,000 Prize Won by San Antonian SAN ANTONIO—Harvey H. Harper, 28 really knew what the score was on November 4—even though he didn't suspect it at the time. Harper was informed Mon-, day (24) he had won Interstate Theatres presidential vote contest by guessing both candidates would draw a total of 2,069,135 votes in Texas. The winning prediction was one of about eight Harper and his wife Mabel wrote on theatre ballots while the contest was in progress—and it was the exact number of votes counted by the Texas election bureau. Commented Harper: "This one we just guessed at, but we tried to calculate the total on some of the others I by watching the public opinion polls. We' filled out a whole bunch of those things." Alternative prizes for the winner are a trip to Washington and New York during i the inaugural ceremonies, a purse of $500 and I an automobile, or a flat sum of $5,000. Thei Harpers are taking the $5,000 and will apply | most of it to the two-story, brick home they are buying at 235 North Dr. Employed as sales manager at Spencer motors. Harper said he had seldom won anything before except small money prizes in stock car races, in which he no longer participates. He has one child, a 2-year-old daughter, Hollis, Manager George Watson had contacted him regarding choice of prizes. Other winners in the contest were William Ervin Miley. Fort Worth, second place; Ann S. Wood, El Paso, third; Miriam H. Schmidt, San Antonio, fourth, and R. J. Newman, Dallas, fifth. RCA Demonstrates Future Uses of Transistors PRINCETON. N. J.—Demonstrations showing how the tiny transistor, which performs many of the functions of electron tubes, can be used in radio, television and other industries were conducted here Monday (17) at the David Sarnoff Research Center of the: Radio Corp. of America. They were used in operating an experimental portable TV receiver, radio sets, loudspeaker systems, miniature transmitters, parts of electronic computers and other experimental devices. Transistors are made from specks of germanium crystal. Many are no larger than a pea. It was stressed at the demonstrations that each development was in the form of a laboratory model and still in the experimental stage. Dr. E. W. Engstrom. vice-president in charge of the RCA laboratories division, said that mass production techniques still have to be worked out, but that eventually they will result in lowered equipment costs for industry and the public. Speedy TV Installation ; SYRACUSE, N. Y. — Television station I KONA, Honolulu, went on the air Tuesday (18) just ten days after equipment was shipped by air from the General Electric , plant ht're. according to Paul L. Chamberlain, ' manager of commercial equipment sales. Five GE engineers were flown to Honolulu to direct the installation. The total cost is about $500,000. % 73 BOXOFFICE December 6, 1952 t
