Yet young Zukor managed to reach the land of his dreams somehow and succeeded, after some initial hardships, in becoming president of one of the largest moving picture companies of the world. "On a tour through Europe Mr. Zukor made up his mind to visit his birthplace, and when he consulted the time-table in his hotel in Budapest and did not find what he wanted, he ordered a special train, a thing never done before by any native of Riese. "After having spent the night in his father's humble cottage, Mr. Zukor assembled the inhabitants in the registrar's office and promised to fulfill all their wishes if they only told him what they wanted. The first asked for $5, the second wanted a suit of clothes and the third a cow. A sickly old man asked for a free railroad ticket to Budapest in order to undergo an operation there, and Mr. Zukor found that the ticket cost less than a ride in the subway in New York. A father asked for money to send his son to a grammar school and a woman wished for a birth present for her yet unborn child. "The fire brigade was in need of a new fire engine and the Jewish community of a new "shofar horn." Every Riesenian, in fact, had some wish or other, but Mr. Zukor found none of these wishes too great and granted them all. He distributed his dollars freely, and the whole of Riese was a picture of happiness and pride over its millionaire son. The village notary ordered the exchange list from the nearest town to learn the value of the dollars, and the postmaster telephoned the happy tidings to Budapest. "When the general happiness was near seething point, Mr. Zukor boarded his train and left Riese as suddenly and unexpectedly as he had come."

Film Row Upset (Continued from Page 1) the acquisition of the Jensen & Von Herberg houses in the North shortly. The report was spread that last Fall the West Coast organization tried to make a deal with Rothschild, but this fell through. Famous Players is understood to have a 25% interest in the Rothschild houses. With the three Rothschild houses lined up West Coast would have "things pretty much their own way" seems to be the opinion here among sales managers. If the Von Herberg deal was perfected it would mean about 11 or 12% of the entire country so far as rental is concerned. The opinion was ventured that a grave situation was developing. For despite the assertions of West Coast executives that they pay "fair prices" there are many along Film Row here who have contrary opinions.
