PICTURES AND PEOPLE OuK Ufa% Reorgaiiizution Berlin corrcspoiKlont reports about Ufa's latest Board Meeting, whieh marked the handing over of tlie concern to the new financiers. Dr. von Stauss who, representing Deutsche Bank, has been president of the board for several years, has resigned, as was to be expected, his post having been taken by Herr Hugenberg, the new financier, personally. As many as 6 of his men are also represented in the new board. Dr. Bausback, who has been ciiief of Ufa for exactly one year, has also resigned, his place in the directorate being taken by Herr 0. Gerschel, a new man who entered the concern a few montlis ago. Bausback is going out of tjie film business for good and is once more resuming a managership witiiin llic Deutsche Bank. It was generally expected in German trade circles that the new regime would signify the end of the American deal, and it is generally thought that the new men in power were at least toying wdth the thought of backing out of the American deal. As, however, in view of Ufa's cont'"actual obligations, this would entail bigger financial sacrifice than Ufa could afi'ord, it is now taken for granted that nothing will be altered unless ]\Ir. Zukor's arrival in Berlin should mark the beginning of negotiations tending towards an alteration of tlie original deal by mutual agreement.
