Mrs. Schneider saw them off. JULES LEVEY, formerly RKO sales chief, is now boss of Mayfair Productions. His first will be “The Boys from Syracuse” which he will make for Universal. COLUMBIA’S district managers and managers of branches without direct supervision met at the Gotham, New York City, for a two-day conference with home-office executives to plan final weeks of the Montague 15th Anniversary Campaign and discuss the new product.

RKO’S EDINGTON PRESS PARTY is attended by Erich Pommer, S. Barrett McCormick, George J. Schaefer, W. J. Merrill, Richard C. Patterson, Ned E. Depinet, Harry Edington, Phil Reisman, and Cresson E.
