...horse ought to have his head examined, and the fellow who turned it down must be absolutely unbalanced." But his thick, sinewy figure continued to be a familiar sight wherever Chicago deals were done. In 1931 Kuhn, Loeb & Co. called him in to help with their ailing Paramount Publix Corp. As chairman of the finance committee, he ruthlessly lopped $39,000,000 (including $6,000,000 of salaries) from Paramount's budget. Last year when he resigned that job John Hertz swore he was going back for good to his big estate in Gary, Ill., about 40 mi. northwest...

Well could they foresee questioning about their financing of Penn-road Corp., of Paramount Publix. on whose board they seated Sir William Wiseman (last week absent in Europe) long before Depression made bankers common in the movie business...

Johnny Green's bathroom is his pride. It is papered with the covers of the 15 songs...
Last week the following were news: Largest chain of cinemansions in the Midwest is Chicago's Balaban & Katz Corp., first to install theatre refrigeration, first to cut dull shots from newsreels. When Paramount Publix Corp. acquired Balaban & Katz seven years ago B. & K.'s president, Sam Katz, became Paramount Publix's vice president in charge of theatre operations. For the past two years Paramount Publix has not been doing so well (see p. 46), nor has B. & K., which lately passed its $7 preferred stock dividend. Two months ago Sam Katz resigned from Paramount Publix after directors...
