Downs Dillon Closes Deal on Saxe's 45 Theaters (.Continued from Page 1) who represented the Saxe interests, were Oscar Brachman, associated with the Saxes in the operation of the theaters, Attorney Lawrence A. Olwell, representing Brachman, Attorne_y James B. B. Lake, representing the Midwest, and Attorney Leon E. and William Kaumheimer. The transfer marks the end, it is believed, of the activities of John ajd Thomas Saxe in the theater business. Both brotherSj however, continue to control large real estate interests in Milwaukee and the state, and they will as well as Brachman, devote themselves to these interests for the next few years. Midwest Co., Inc., which will supplant the Saxe organization has filed articles of incorporation in Wisconsin at Madison. The Midwest Company is originally a Delaware corporation, but with the filing of corporation articles at Madison, will be able to do business in Wisconsin. .
