Who's Who on the Screen W. W. HODKINSON W. W. Ilodkinson has been identified with motion pictures for many years, being one of the pioneers in the industry. It was in Ogden, Utah, in 1907 that he opened a nickel "store-show." In two years his policy of changing films twice weekly and charging but ten cents admission enabled him to buy out his only two competitors. Later he opened a theatre in Salt Lake City and in 1911 went to Los Angeles and then to San Francisco as a representative of the General Film Company. Later he took charge of the entire Pacific coast and in 1913 established his own concern. He organized Paramount in 1916 and resigned from this corporation in 1917 to begin the labor of organizing a new distributing company which eventually became the W. W. Hodkinson Corporation.' 402
