520 Moving Picture World COVARRUBIAS February 13, 1926 Internationally Famous Caricaturist Presents Distinguished Picture People HIRAM ABRAMS President, United Artists Corporation The man who welded the screen's greatest stars into one solid group, more than five years ago, is just as keen today in his task of building up a great United Artists Corporation. Starting with Mary Pickford, Charles Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and D. W. Griffith, Mr. Abrams, through recent alignments, has lost Mr. Griffith, but has added Norma and Constance Talmadge, Rudolph Valentino and William S. Hart — and the end is not yet in sight !
