...Solomon's success is particularly gratifying to his Lansing, Mich. friends (where he was permanent conductor of the local symphony immediately before going to Chicago) because in spite of their efforts, the local public was not astute enough to realize his worth, withholding the support necessary to keep him from slipping through its fingers...
...fact, Johns-Manville was the outstanding public relations success of 1938. And the man chiefly responsible is its 45-year-old president, big, handsome Lewis Herold Brown. Last week, at a luncheon celebrating his tenth year as president, the J-M Officers Board (a management group as opposed to the ownership group which forms the board of directors) gave him a gift symbolizing his success in building up J-M esprit de corps-a gold locket containing pictures of his associates.

As an incubator for stars, Prison Without Bars is unlikely to be another Henry VIII, but U.S. cinemaddicts may well want to see more of Mile Luchaire. Most alarming shot: inmates getting drunk on alcohol purloined from the medicine chest...
