COHAN IN "HIT THE TRAIL HOLIDAY" (ARTCRAFT) 10 1 Q Adolph Zukor was still trying his old w I " "famous player" idea when he signed Enrico Caruso of opera fame. He starred him in two films, "Mv Cousin" and "The Splendid Romance." His first film was a financial flop so the second staved on the shelf. Paramount acquired Ethel Clayton and Bryant Washburn and elevated Wallace Reid to stardom. Zukor received a bitter blow toward the year's end when Marv Pickford signed to make three pictures for First National for $1,050,000. As an added inducement for Mary to leave Artcraft, they gave her mother a $50,000 bonus and signed her brother Jack for a series of pictures at $50,000 each. W. H.
