Indications this week pointed to the selection of Arthur James, the chiet publicist for the Mutual, as the suc- cessor of Harry Reichenbach, as gen- eral press representative for the Metro. The latter is with the Equitable. James is a former New York news- paper man who, since going to the Mutual, has turned out two excellent film boosters for the M in Reel Life and The Film. The report was on the street this week Rolfe was withdrawing from the Metro, and would ally itself with the Paramount. This was denied later at the Metro office. James was appointed by the Metro this week and reported Thursday. His successor at the Mutual offices will be Terrance Ramsey. Robert Irwin is also with the poster department of the Metro, getting out the colored posters and bills, and look- ing after some of the advertising pamph- lets. His posters for the Bushman pic- ture, "The Second in Command," were about the niftiest gotten out here in a long time.
