Like Vail, however, he has put together a more youthful staff, hiring 19 reporters in their 20s. The Press still performs its customary services for Cleveland's powerful ethnic groups.

Unlike Zanuck and Hyman, who make the deals and handle the creative side of moviemaking, Evans is responsible only for the production schedule, which now includes some 70 projects. Twice-divorced, Evans works an 18-hour day, rarely appears at Hollywood functions. With good reason...
