6 = UNIVERSAL WEEKLY =Nov. 3D. 1935 IRENE DUNNE ENTERTAINS THE NEW YORK PRESS Left to right: Kate Cameron, motion picture critic of the Daily News, Thyra Sampter Winslow, novelist, Betty Furness, Irene Dunne, Radie Harris, radio interviewer and fan magazine writer, and Irene T hirer, motion picture editor of the New York Evening Post. CARL LAEMMLE’S 30th Year STARTING on January 6th, Universal will celebrate the greatest anniversary in its entire career. It will be the Carl Laemmle 30th Anniversary Jubilee. No other company is able now or ever will be able in the memory of this generation to celebrate such a jubilee. No other company has a president who has been in this business continuously as a president for thirty years. Universal's celebration will take an unusual form and will be fully outlined for exhibitor participation within the next three weeks. The details are being arranged by J. R. Grainger, general manager of distribution. The Rolls of Honor which have been published recently showing the tremendous number of exhibitors who have been consistent users of Universal product, many of them as long as Universal has been in business, are a tremendous tribute to the genius of Carl Laemmle and the fine standard of production quality which it has maintained through the years. These factors are well worth bearing in mind in approaching a jubilee celebration which is unique in the short history of moving pictures and the moving picture art. There is no man in the moving picture business who has a warmer place in the hearts of exhibitors and this admiration for the man and his accomplishments is shared equally by his competitors and compatriots in business, all of whom have rejoiced with him in all the festivals which have milestoned the business life of this remarkable man, Carl Laemmle. This year is no exception to the rule. Contracts for Universal pictures have come in earlier to the Universal Exchanges than last year and in greater number than on the same date last year. A resume of some of the more important contracts signed will be interesting. SPARKS CIRCUIT — 43 theatres in Florida. Glenn W. Dickinson — 30 important towns in Kansas. Hall Circuit in Texas — 24 towns. (Continued on Page 24) II HIV liRSil I, A Megeiine for Motion Picture Exhibitor* Paul Gulicle, Editor Published Weekly by tho Motion Picture Wookly Publishing Co.
