Winthrop Williams Aldrich, president of Chase National Bank, succeeded Albert Henry Wiggin, chairman of Chase's governors, on the directorate of Fox Film Corp. Charles E. Richardson, former Chase vice president, was made vice president and treasurer of Fox. An executive and finance committee, apparently dominated by Chase, was formed to handle Fox's monetary problems.

Son of Rhode Island's Senator Nelson Wilmarth Aldrich, he did his first sailing off Warwick...

Commodore Aldrich succeeds Vincent Astor (who succeeded Harold Sterling ["Mike''] Vanderbilt) and will probably be succeeded, year after next, by Junius Spencer Morgan Jr. His fellow members have been pleased and amused by the crisp, business-like manner in which Commodore Aldrich conducts even such informal meetings as last fortnight's aboard the Viking...

He thinks her run against Yankee off Martha's Vineyard was "the greatest race of its kind ever sailed." In her races against Shamrock V.
