2 UNIVERSAL WEEKLY ~~ —Mar. 16, 1935 UNIVERSAL HA! No. 810 Straight-from-the-Shoulder Talk by Carl Laemmle, President of the Universal Pictures Corporation If you can believe some of the trade papers and certain radio gossips. Universal has been sold out to everybody in the world except Huey Long, Father Coughlin and General Hugh Johnson. And the only reason why we have not been sold out to them is because they have been too busily engaged in calling each other political termites, pied pipers, chocolate soldiers, cream puff soldiers, religious flubdubs and other endearing names. I must admit that I have been tempted more than once to call names. Year after year I have seen plain, manufactured lies published about Universal by totally irresponsible people who are a part of the maniac fringe of the motion picture business. They cook up mad dreams and print them as facts. If their lies could have wrecked Universal, this company would have been a battered hulk many years ago — for I cannot recall one single year in the past quarter of a century in which some fake sale of Universal has failed to appear in print. I have never sought to send any of these fakers to jail for criminal libel because, to tell the truth, their libels have hurt them more than they have hurt Universal.
