ADOLPH ZUKOR Mr. Zukor is one of the really great men of the picture industry because of his great foresight in grasping the greater importance of exhibition as compared to the production of Motion Pictures. He built his activities on a modern, proven sound basis; that is, that economic pressure is gradually bringing about a monopoly of all business. Many stumbling blocks will be placed in his way, just as they have been placed in the way of all big business, but Mr. Zukor will carry on because of his original vision in gaining control of distribution and exhibition. Adolph Zukor is to exhibition what Irving Thalberg is to production.
