Key man of the new Paramount production regime is Emanuel ("Manny") Cohen whose chin rises not far above his desk edge. The question was: could he produce the pictures? The answer last week seemed to be: maybe not. For when Katz edged out Lasky. he pulled Schulberg back to produce eight pictures a year under Cohen's supervision. At the same time, he offered Lasky a chance to produce three a year under Cohen's eye. Schulberg accepted. Lasky refused.
