Vol. 26, NO. 25 Uncle Carl By David Barrist (Reprinted from Brevity by special permission of David Barrist.) SOME DAY THEY’RE gonna give Carl Laemmle a dinner. AND THE LITTLE fellers in the sticks will leave their shooting galleries. AND THE CIRCUIT owners will halt their multi-million dollar mergers. AND THE MIGHTY executives will lay down their busy pens. AND ALL JOURNEY to the Big City to pay their respects TO THE MOST beloved man in pictures — Uncle Carl. UNCLE CARL OF the fighting heart and kindly soul. PIONEER, BLAZER OF trails and champion of right. THE MAN WHO PROVED that success in the movies as in other fields MAY BE WON without climbing over the prostrate forms. OF COMPETITOR and customer — of producer and exhibitor. LEAVING ITS TRAIL of suffering and of bitterness. ITS TRAIL OF vengeful, cursing, spitters of venom. SMASHED AND CRUSHED by the power that is competition. IN THE TRADE that God forgot AND THEN UNCLE Carl will learn. THAT GREATER EVEN than the wealth of his millions. IS THE ESTEEM AND RESPECT in which he is held. BY FRIEND AND foe alike — by partner and competitor. A PRICELESS TREASURE in an industry where greed and self ARE THE RULING gods — twin spreaders of discord.
