Howell G. Crim
Ike Hoover died suddenly of a heart attack on September 14, 1933, and Muir was named his successor on September 18. Crim was promoted to Assistant Chief Usher. But unlike Hoover, who spent 24 years as Chief Usher, Muir's tenure in the position was not a long one. Muir left the White House in April 1938 to join the State Department, and Howell Crim was named Chief Usher on April 4, 1938. As Chief Usher, Crim oversaw the operation of the White House and its staff. He had intimate daily contact with the President and First Family, oversaw all White House social affairs (formal and informal), and oversaw the reception and housing of heads of state, heads of government, diplomats, and other guests (important and not) at the White House. He was portrayed by actor Richard Roats in the 1979 NBC mini-series "Backstairs at the White House".
