Motion Picture Classic (Jul-Dec 1930)

Who'll Own The Movies? {Continued from page 88) was complete. Wall Street seldom acts hastily, but plans ahead. So it is not strange that a Boston banker should appear in NewYork and buy up the tottering FBO organization. Almost immediately came the talking pictures, and Mr. Kennedy willingly sold his new acquisition to the Radio Corporation — which having acquired all the vaudeville interests in sight to get a string of theaters, now moved into the front production ranks. Where Is The $500,000,000? NEXT Pathd fell into Mr. Kennedy's hands. Then Fox bought out MetroGoldwyn-Mayer and an English theater chain, but he had to borrow close to a hundred million to do it. Suddenly the stock market crashed. Fox couldn't meet his obligations and the screws were very quietly, but inevitably applied. So now we find RKO, Fox and Pathe in the Wall street column. Still in the old-line camp are Paramount-Publix, Warner Brothers-First National, and Universal. United Artists is more or less of a puzzle, though Joseph M. Schenck seems to have a tight hold, in spite of his efforts to merge with other concerns. Tiffany has Wall Street affiliations, while Columbia is of the old regime. Educational, Roach, Christie and Sennett are headed by Messrs. Hammels, Roach, Christie and Sennett in person, and will likely travel where the financial pavement leads. The Wall .Street line-up has J. P. Morgan & Co., National City Bank, Guaranty Trust Co., Halsey Stuart & Co., Dillon, Read & Co. with the new Chase combination and Blair & Co. and the powerful Bank of Italy group on one side; while Goldman .Sachs, Ladciiburg, Thalman and Lehman Brothers may racially belong in the other camp — but actually are seldom found in opposition to the first-named collection, and never in violent opposition to the electrical line-up. To sum up, within the next two years at least five hundred million will be needed for picture betterments. If found. Wall Street will find it. Then we are likely to see a lot of new names at the top of the motion picture business. By that time, any one with an eye to see will realize that a change has taken place. The cat will once more have the canary where it will do the most good to the cat's digestive apparatus. Looking, ahead; and Lucille Browne, though a newcomer, knows that the smile with the voice wins Unchanging Beauty for your Fingertips GLAZO POLISHES, iMj never vary their tones, are the smartest colors you can wear IN a less active generation, lovely nails and fingertips signified a woman with very little to do.
