Allied to Name ( Continued from page 1 ) York Mayor William O'Dwyer is to be associated in Mexico City, it was said that Schwalberg will be among those to whom Marcus will talk about the new Allied post. Schwalberg recently was described by Al Myrick, Allied president, as a logical choice for the position. Salary for the new post was not fixed by the Allied board at the Chicago meeting at which the post was created. Comment has been that it will be "at least" $25,000 annually, but that it also will be commensurate with the position and abilities of the man selected. In addition to salary, it is understood provision will be made for income from incidental sources, such as participation in national convention revenue, insurance commissions and other incidental activities which may be allotted to the new officer. As stated by the national board, however, the executive director will be an employee of the board, which will retain policy-making functions. Financing Seen No Problem If the right man is obtained, it is felt there will be no problem in obtaining adequate financing from the Allied member organizations for his salary, establishment and maintenance of office and other expenses in connection with the establishment of the new post. The probability is that the new Allied national office will be established in New York; certainly so if the person chosen for the executive director is a resident of that city. Abram F. Myers, whose resignation as chairman and general counsel of Allied after 31 years led to the establishment of the new post of executive director, is closing his Washington office this month. That office has served as Allied national headquarters. Myers reportedly has been voted a lifetime pension of $12,000 annually, which is said to include retirement pay also for Myers' longtime Washington secretary, Miss Bertha Taylor. Myers continues with Allied in an advisory and honorary capacity only. He would not be called upon for legal services to the organization, it is said, but would be consulted about whom to retain in the event Allied required legal services. Rivoli Books 'Alamo' ( Continued from page 1 ) lease. "The Alamo" will play 10 performances weekly. The Rivoli management is expanding its staff to accept box office reservations for the road show engagement. New Cinerama Theatre In Ohio Discussed Special to THE DAILY COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 22. First Cinerama installation in Central Ohio is scheduled for RKO Grand as soon as contract details are settled. Everett C. Callow, international director of advertising and publicity for Cinerama, was here recently to confer with Ed McClone, RKO city manager. The Grand installation will use only one projection booth, which will be on the orchestra flooor level. The Grand's 1,150 capacity will be reduced slightly. "This Is Cinerama" will be the first presentation. Law on Policemen ( Continued from page 1 ) Court by the Connecticut Theatrical Corporation, a Stanley Warner subsidiary, operators of two first-run New Britain theatres, the Strand and Embassy. Superior Court Judge Louis Shapiro ruled that the main part of the ordinance was valid. However, a requirement that the theatre owner must pay a sum equal to a policeman's pay plus ten cents a day to the police benefit fund was ruled partly invalid. The lower court tossed out the ten cent charge, leaving the regular pay intact. The Connecticut Theatrical Corporation then took the case to the higher court, but the justices were unanimous in deciding the ordinance— as amended by the Supreme Court decision—was within the scope of the state laws on the subject of regulation of theatres for safety purposes. The door was left open for further argument on whether it is necessary, as the ordinance requires, that a policeman be present "during every performance." Whether present conditions require "the degree of regulation imposed by the ordinance," the State Supreme Court said, "is a matter for the judgment of the legislative body of the city." Film Stocks Cited ( Continued from page 1 ) success in cutting overhead while turning out box office triumphs is being translated into improved earnings for their shareowners." Other companies mentioned favorably include Paramount, 20th Century-Fox, Columbia, United Artists and Warners. 'Psycho? Sets Record A record $407,691, topping every holiday and non-holiday mark for a similar period in the history of Loew's Theatres in the greater New Yorkarea, was grossed by Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" in the five days ending Sunday. The record high, which was registered at 26 Loew's houses in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens and Westchester, tops all previous marks, including those set up Cecil B. DeMille's "The Greatest Show on Earth" and "The Ten Commandments." HPA to Dine Sandburg HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 22. The Hollywood Press Association will sponsor an industry-wide testimonial luncheon in honor of Carl Sandburg, poet, next month at the Beverly Hilton Hotel here. Bertil Unger, president of HPA, stated that the exact date of the affair will be designated this week following meetings between Sandburg and the studio publicity heads at 20th Century-Fox.
