It's a devastatingly gay, behind the scenes social picture of the women who hostess the social affairs in the nation's capital and who, I might add, control much political power. Bob has done an enormous amount of research on it The few who have been lucky enough to read the story say it would make a whale of a picture. One of the best movies Bob ever wrote was "Thirty Seconds Dyer Tokyo." ANN SHERIDAN, who didn't like the leading men RKO sub mitted to her lor "carriage tri- trance," is happy because the Hakim Brothers nave snaggea MacDonald Carey to costar with her in "Ricochet."

"Ricochet" is a suspense thrill er written by Roland Brown and will be directed by Norman Foster.

It eets either a United Artists or RKO release.

Beckman Pransky, they now conduct one of the largest theatrical enterprises in the nation.

They foresaw the possibilities of what became known as the Borscht Circuit, quit their jobs (Beckman played the piano and Pransky the sax) and sold the nearby mountain hotels, which used only semi-amateur "entertainment-directors," on the idea of weekend shows. THEY STARTED rather small, but they soon developed stellar personalities which became popular. As the demand outran the growth of economical shows, they sprinted ahead of it, engaging Sophie Tucker, Milton Berle, and many such, at $5000 for one night. This policy jacked up business beyond anything of the sort ever seen, until the hotels had to expand tremendously, and became commonplace for some them to take in 520,000 a day and pay more than half that sum for stars once a week. THE TWO WISE SHOWMEN took on conventions, fairs, club entertainment, and have sold shows for as much as $25,000 at one affair.

They noticed the trend to crazy new methods in music, and dreamed up the idea that started Bop City, the most startling surprise Broadway has had in years, ana ns most consistent monev-maker.

The industry was shot through with private graft and raw discrimination. The agent system was venal and corrupt. Franchised representatives took 10 percent ot gross salaries to oner acts to the circuits' bobking-offices. It soon became so that virtually no turn could do business without paying that tithe. The wheels then extracted five percent Big, rich houses including our revered Palace made many acts play at a heavy cut, because they were choice engagements.
