Many of the distributors (they were paid in a 4 corner pass- see four movies, each time the doorman rips a corner) would just throw away the circulars and not distribute them, hence they needed supervision. Jack Greenberg booked the theater in 1969 (not Milgram during this time period) and Bud Gross Manager of the Harbor in Stone Harbor booked it for Hunt’s from 1970 onward…
