Tricky Mix. Schary's tactics have paid off. Until he went to RKO, the chain's uneven movie production was just an appendix to its operation of some 125 theatres.

"Dick is the best coach I've seen in 20 years work for taking care of his men. If there's the slightest doubt in his mind that a player may seriously aggravate an injury, he'll take that boy out of the game pronto." Practicing what he preaches, trainer...
