12 Sunday - August 1973
Ninth Sunday after Pentecost - 224th day - 141 days to come
Went over the rules for HYPERCHECKERS (played a game
with BB), HYPERCHESS, and STARLORD - in preparation
for me S&T column.
Rcd. [received] a call from Jerry D'Arcey. We talked for quite a while and
then I called him back again at night and we talked
some more.
Jerry has just about wrapped up the deal for SWEEP with
Lakeside. At first they told him they'd give him $5,000 advance,
but then cut him down to $3,000. They tried to chisle the
royalty rate from 5% to 3% but Jerry refused that. Jerry gets
40% of this.
Told Jerry that I had something close to fruition with
Lakeside. (3D BOXES).
Hasbro was definitely going to take Frank Thibault's STACTICS,
but at the last minute backed out.
Hallmark tells Frank that they will be doing TOTEM next year.
Frank has an assignment to do a feature article on PLOY
for S&T.
This coming week Dick Harris of M.B. [Milton Bradley] is coming to look at about
a dozen things that Jerry and Hans Goldschmidt have to
show to him. Harris then has a separate appointment with
Frank. They are showing primarily children's stuff since, as
Jerry agrees with me, M.B. [Milton Bradley] has moved away from anything
really adult.
At Hans Goldschmidt's suggestion, Jerry called Marvin Glass and
suggested that Glass finance him for 1 year and take 50% of
anything he makes. Glass wasn't interested in this but, after
listening to Jerry's credits, said he'd like to talk about a job.
He said he'd contact Jerry when he, Glass, came west. So far
Jerry hasn't heard from him.
Jerry sees OH HELL in the stores. However he sold his 10% back
to the gal for $500 last spring to get money for his trip to
N.Y. for Toy Fair. (Previously he told me $400)
Jerry is hepped on "Hang Gliding" (on a kite) and is trying
to get $5000 financing to set up a school and Gliding
facility.
Wrote to Jim Faulkner. Mentioned NEXUS, S&T, and "Warren Paper."
