| "Mr. Price is an executive of varied experience. He used to run a weekly paper, a saw-mill and several other businesses in West Virginia, his native state. Later he came to Washingon and was auditor of the interior department. Then Mr. McAdoo discovered him, set him the difficult task of straightening out the fiscal affairs of the bureau of engraving and printing, made him publicity director of the first and second Liberty Loans, and finally appointed him assistant director of railroads. It was natural that Mr. Price should follow his chief out of the government and into the movies, as president of the United Artists' Corporation." Frederick J. Haskins in "The Blade," 26 March 1919 |
