ZUKOR BECOMES A SHOWMAN 97 parallel. Emil Shauer, on the other hand, in time joined Adolph Zukor. His likeable personality, his sense of humour, and his experience with Europe played their part in developing the motion picture as a major American export. A few weeks after Zukor left the Union Square Arcade, Loew found that his partners wanted to force him out of the subsidiary company. “All right, gentlemen,” he said, “if we can’t be happy together, let’s be happy apart.” And he sold out for the exact amount of his original investment.
