Henry Winkler in"THE ONE AND ONLY" opens to pretty good crowds,Could it be the wrestling crowd in that river city flocks to it. Rated PG .

Nick,great ads.Did i ever send down the one of Barkley they shot for a newspaper ad on “JAWS” listing the footage and hours he spent in the booth.That would be a great one.I might have mailed it to Robin to print.I looked the other day and can’t find the darn thing.Great Ad.Can’t believe we played “THE MACK” on a late show.Usually the late shows were not Blaxploitation films.Don’t know what Mr.Tinney {city Mgr} was thinking.
