But if 1 am for myself alone,

An excellent text for the Rosh
Hashonah beginning of a
New Year end of half CEN
fury. This year marked the
fiftieth birthday of the Movies.
1t also marked the utmost endeav-
or to the curse of Victory. A
year of great achievement :.
a year of sacrifices. Yet, in some
respects it was a usual year, de-
filed here and there with Jew
batting. Certain senators, who
shall be nameless; certain news
paper publishers, certain sedition-
aries, did their mightiest to smear
Filmdom, with the customary ov-
ertones and sly slurs about Jews
in the movies - garment makers,
foreigners, illiterates.
A New Year. Time to take stock
of ourselves. eff l am not for
myself, who will be for me?"
True it is, there are Jews in the
film industry - Jews in promi-
nent places - Jews in creative
posts. They are not in the ma
jority = neither do they control
the business. Yet in its fifty
years of development from a
crude toy to its present status of
the greatest single force in the
world for education, art, enter
tainment land morale, many Jew
iSh names are woven. These men
of vision who embarked on un-
charted seas. These were men
who experimental by the flicker
ing light of magic lantern. These
were men who founded an infant
industry, remained to rear it, be-
come it's father, grandfather, and
greatgrandfather. Need we be
ashamed of them? Do they need
apology?
In 1896 Sigmund Lubin produc-
ed the first motion picture ever
to be enacted before a camera.
He hired two freight handlers as
actors directed them in the
story of the Corbett Fitzsimmons
fight, round by round. 1t was
a great success. He made another
Horse Eating Hay" This was
a triumph. Later he founded the
Lubin Theatres, the first import
ant theatre chain.

brothers and one sister laid the
foundations of the present ire
mendous Warner enterprises At
Newcastle, Pennsylvania in lit
tie empty store with rented chairs
from an undertaking parlor, they
opened the first nickel show"
From this they branched into dis
tributing pictures and then to pro-
ducing them. It was Warmers al
so, who introduced the unwanted
TalkieS.
In that first decade of the twent-
ieth century Carl Laemmle, Mar
Gus Loew, Edgar Selwyn, William
Fox, Jesse Lasky, Adolph Zukor,
Lewis ]. Selznick, Samuel Gold
wynn were pioneers in the film
fild. Some started with "thea-
tres" little more than penny ar
cades or nickelodeons; others be-
gan to produce pictures. In 1907
William Selig photographed ex-
terror scenes for Count of Monte
Cristo" in Los Angeles. It was
the first west coast production.
Edgar Selwyn Spliced his name
with Sam Goldfish to form the
Goldwyn company. Louis B.

Schencka brothers left their form
