DORE SCHARY, MGM VICE-PRESIDENT IN CHARGE OF PRODUCTION, ADDRESSES THE ALLIED STATES ASSOCIATION CONVENTION IN NEW YORK CITY.
MGM and Dore Schary Are Hosts
The Man Who Heads The Company’s Production Program Is A Civic And Community Leader As Well
Schary beams as he receives in his coast of¬ fices the EXHIBITOR-LAUREL AWARDS nomination scroll for the MGM film, "Westward the Women".
THIS week finds MGM inviting 100 leading exhibitors of the country to the studio, where Dore Schary, vicepresident in charge of production, is playing host, arranging the showing of many forthcoming features. It is indeed logical that Schary, who has long been in the forefront of the industry, should be host to so many trade leaders.
The phrase, ivory tower, has been widely used to describe the surround¬ ings in which some top moguls in Holly¬ wood prefer to live, but this is not the case with Schary. Not only the trade but people connected with worthwhile organizations, religious groups, govern¬ mental groups, military and naval units, charitable organizations, and many, many others have all found him a most en¬ thusiastic ally.
Even to sticking out his firm chin on radio open forums, where anything is likely to happen, and usually does, Schary
dares to tread. The trade press who have come in contact on numerous occasions with him have good reason to believe that his friendly, fearless attitude stems simply from the nature of the man, a nature which welcomes the views of the next guy, be he poet, peasant, prince, or pauper. Occasionally, of course, a beau¬ tiful princess comes into the picture, and he isn’t the kind who will turn his head the other way, which, of course, all goes toward making him a regular sort of guy to everyone.
His production record at MGM has been speaking rather proudly for itself. The recent 24th annual Oscar Derby witnessed Leo the Lion scampering happily off to his Culver City lair with a major portion of the golden loot.
Pictured on these pages are just a few of the many activities, besides his prouction chores at the studio, which occupy the time of Dore Schary. — Paul Manning.
