Grad Sears and Andy Smith, Warner sales executives who have been advocating higher b.o. scales, say that 90 per cent of the exhibitors took advantage of this picture to hike their scales from 5 to 10 cents, and to date they have not heard of any exhibitor being obliged to lower his prices after the picture closed. LARRY BAREN JOINS JAFA Herman Roth has engaged Larry Baren as sales manager of his newly formed company, JAFA, the Jewish American Film Arts, which will distribute the new Jewish production, "The Wandering Jew," which has just been placed in production under the direction of George Roland at the Atlas sound studio.
