ONCE PEDDLED PAPERS,
NOW FILM KING

theaters are in almost every large
center cen Of population in the coun-
Mr.. Loew, in addition to his
business activities, is vitality IN
terested in public and charitable
affairs. His outdoor recreation Is
golf. He is married, is a grand
father. and this week celebrated
his fifty-fourth birthday.
In recent issue of Forbes
Magazine, a biography Of Mr..
Loew's career occupied several
pages of reading matter that
sounded like fiction. 1t Is an init.
mate confession, an unvarnished
interview from this new colossus
Of the films concerning the days
when he wasn't so colossal.
Among other things, Mr.. Loew
remembers when Sophie Tucker
sang for his cinema theaters,
fourteen times a day, seven times
in black face and the other seven
as her natural self. Years back
he engaged Orville Harold at $40
a week to sing for him in PhiIa-
delphia. Harold later got q $50
offer from competitors and Loew
advised him to take it.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Loew
paid Harold $4,000 for A weeks
engagement at one Of his WeSt-
en- theaters.
II always told you 1 was worth
at least $50 a week." said Harold,
and Mr.. Loew agreed that times
had changed,
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1924-05-23

Marcus Loew is not only one OF
the big producers in the motion
picture field, but he iss probably
today the largest theater owner
in the United States. His recent
armalgamation Of Metro Goldwyn
Pictures and his election as presi-
dent gives him control of some
thing over 400 theaters through
out the country, which range
from independent playhouses like
the Capitol and Loew's State in
New York city to little houses
in neighborhood centers.
Mr.. Loew'S career as an exhibit
tor is typical. He was the son of
poor parents and at the age of
six was selling newspapers after
school hours in the lower East
Side of New York. Subsequently
he became a printer and the pub.
Usher of a small newspaper
known as The East Side Adver-
tiser, when he was still in his
teens.
He sold the newspaper at b
profit and went into the fur bust
ness, became a travelling salesman
and again went into the fur
business, which was not a profit
able enterprise. Thereafter he
became a manufacturer Of caps,
and. taking advantage of the
introduction of golf at the time,
specialized on that variety of
headgear, with the result that at
twenty.three he sold his business
and found himself in possession
of substantial bank ascount.
Mr.. Loew went into the exhibit
tion business by way of the penny
arcade. This was in 1902, when
he, David Warfield, the actor, and
Adolph Zukor and the late
Mitchell Mark established an ar
cade in Fourteenth street, New
York city. That was the founda-
ton of at least four fortunes.
Within four years Mr.. Loew and
his associates had four arcades,
three in New York, and one in
Cincinnati, and in 1908 Mr.. Loew,
then in Cincinnati, was taken to
the first motion picture theater
by friend. It was q five-cent
house in a showroom. He left
that performance, telegraphed to
New York for q protector and
some films, bought 200 under
takers chairs and rented an
empty room above the arcade
and did a Runaway business of
t$249.65 the first day at a nickel
a throw.
The outcome of that venture
was that Mr.. Loew sold out his
penny arcades and opened some
store shows. His first larger ven
ture was theater in Brooklyn,
N. Y, which he christened the
Royal. His next was the Majestic,
now the Cosmopolitan Theater,
New York, which he took for the
summer only. Then the Lincoln
Square, the Yorlville, West End,
all in rapid succession. Now his
