...lately been cinema producers' most pressing problem. Last week in Hollywood they found a solution: to represent them as labor arbitrator, the eight major companies included in the Producers Association (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Paramount, Warner Bros., Twentieth Century-Fox, RKO, United Artists, Universal and Columbia) elected Benjamin Bertram Kahane, for the last year right-hand man to Columbia's President Harry Kohn. Bald, hook-nosed Ben Kahane, 45, is a onetime Chicago lawyer who became general counsel for the old Orpheum Circuit, and got into cinema when the Radio-Keith-Orpheum Corporation was formed in 1928, worked...

It seems to me this is a unique opportunity...

Handsome, well-printed on slick paper, illustrated with color, filled with stories, articles and poems by Rupert Hughes, Lucian Cary, Leonard Nason, Lois Montross, Frederick Irving Anderson, William Hazlett Upson, Valentine Williams, Albert Payson Terhune, Wallace Irwin, Jack Dempsey, Rian James, Gilbert Seldes, American Cavalcade looks the way a good issue of the Saturday Evening Post might look if waste wordage were squeezed out, advertising omitted, the magazine compressed...
...savings in salaries for clerks, pages, doorkeepers, etc., etc. of a discontinued chamber. The savings in postage, printing and mileage should be even greater. As an offset to these savings, the Senate chamber with its $4,500 bronze doors in the $10,000,000 State Capitol, which the late Bertram Goodhue designed, will have no real use, and to reduce the 100 desks in the House to 43 would require tearing up the floor (to change the wiring for the electric voting machine) and discarding the heavy carpet which is cut around each desk...
