The major portion of the interview dealt with early days in the business finally leading up to the formation of First National. At that point, Zukor said it bceame necessary for Famous to have first-run houses and then he added: "There is nothing Greek about it. We had no thought of control. It was the mere thought of protecting our business, and to perpetuate it. How can anyone without a market for his product continue in business? "Theaters required management. With that thought in mind I watched the field, selected Balaban and Katz and made a deal to turn the management of our theaters over to them. The manao'cment may be transferred here. Mr. Katz is here now. They will handle the management in the way they can most efficiently. It is out of our hands." ^b/Aadetm ENGLAND (.Continued from Page 1) matter, any special kind of pictures? It is silly. On the face of it. Heaven knows we aren't keen on what some Americans, and Amerkan firms have done abroad. In England and elsewhere. We have said it often enough — they have bungled the situation and messed it up. But how the proposed legislation is going to answer the situation is another story. And it probably won't. But it will develop a hardship. Not only for American, and other producers living outside of England. But for the British people as well. The Age of the Machine Hugo Riesenfeld talking. Of the coming era in pictures. "It will be a period of sharp competition and struggle — one big combination agauist another big combination — one group of banking interests against another powerful group of banking interests — circuit against circuit — machine against machine — and for the time being, the individual will probably be more or less lost sight of. "We are living in the day of the machine. This is true not only of the picture industry but of life itself. The same thing applies in any line of business. The individual does not count greatly at the moment. "But this will all change. It cannot go on indefinitely. However powerful the machine, it is the individual mind, the exceptional personality, that counts.. You cannot do without the individual, and in the end, the individual will come into his rightful place."
