0 f ^ c i e n c e 305 been candy-butcher, newsboy or program seller, rises to the top and leads to-day. The career of Benjamin S. Moss, of Moss and Brill, furnishes an example of where energy, honesty, and a "punch" can land the American boy. Born in the old Yorkville section some thirty-eight years ago, he knew early the wants, ambitions and struggles of the boy who is destined to attend college in the University of Hardknocks. It is now five years since Moss entered the amusement business in New York City, commencing his operation with the 86th Street Theatre, and in that time he has added to it the magnificent million-dollar Jefferson situated in the heart of the great teeming East Side of New York, and the beautiful refined Hamilton perched on the Heights overlooking the Hudson. Afterwards the Plaza in New York City, the Colonial in Albany, and other out-of-town theatres came under his control. There is no more optimistic theatre man regarding the motion picture industry than Mr. Moss. His faith has been shown in the photoplay in the past, and no one dreams of greater things for the future than he. When you are looking over the ground for prospective leaders for the future, don't make the mistake of overlooking this live wire.
