Personnel
The following changes were news last week:
From Fox Film Corp. last week resigned Courtland Smith, brother-in-law of Arthur Brisbane, founder and manager of Fox Movietone News, responsible for Manhattan's newsreel theatre, the Embassy. Called by Fox-President Harley L. Clarke "one of the outstanding figures in the motion picture industry" Cineman Smith will become president of Translux Movies Corp., two-weeks old organization.
Harper Leech, newspaper man, economist, became vice president of Rudolph Guenther-Russell Law Inc., financial advertising agency. Newspaperman Leech works with sleeves rolled up, a green shade over his eyes, at least four spittoons on hand. Sometimes he gets away from work, rolls up his trousers, sticks a pipe in his mouth, wanders into the woods carrying an old satchel, emerges several days later. In addition to economics, he is an authority on politics, a potent discourser on philosophy, nature, baseball scores.
