practical 1t was a combination OF
untiring effort, the measuring OF
every penny. the use OF every de-
vice by which the expenditure of
funds could be postponed or their
turnover multiplied. But above all
it represented willingness to de-
vote unending time and energy to-
ward making every dollar an active
worker toward this goal.
A new name now was needed
that was more in keeping with the
dignity of a company that was
making and selling successful fea-
tufe pictures. The partners felt
that "CBC" sounded too much

that they would one day be spend

programs that included some OF the
industry's most noteworthy produc-
tons.
They started with a contract to
release some two-reel comedies.
Never having produced any pic
lures, Harry and Jack Cohn in
New York arranged for producer
in Hollywood to make series Of
quality shorts for them at $4,000
each. The first four that came
through elected means from the
new movie magnates. They were
terrible. Quick investigation by
Harry Cohn revealed that the pro-
Queer was spending only $1,000
apiece on the two-reelers. The

contract and Harry left for Calf

The Coins made one short. sold

the second. and kept going. The
two-reelers were an instant success.
and developed into the series that
became known as the Hall Room
Boys comedies.
At this point it was decided
that Harry would devote himself
to producing and Jack would con-
centrate on selling. an arrangement
that has worked out most profitably
TO this day.
With the Hall Hoom Boys
shorts established, the Coins
branched out with new series OF

None OF these opportunities was
presented TO two young men, still
in their twenties, a little over 25
years ago. But Harry and Jack
Conn were endowed with the spirit,
imagination and vitality to take a
chance and win
Late in 1920, the Coins decided
that they had learned enough about
the film business during their years
of working for the old Universal
company to strike out on their
own. They huddled together over
their savings and added it up:
$3.50. The Cohn brothers shook
hands and quit their jobs.

added a partner. Joe Brandt. and
named their firm The CBC Film
Sales Corporation. After a few
years OF making shorts. the CBC
decided TO make a feature picture.
Such venture would cost more
money than CBC could lay its
hands on at the moment. especially
as the company wished 10 continue
making It's very acceptable shorts
at the same time. The boys gath
cred together five additional part
ners. and produced feature picture
for $4,000. When completed. the
picture looked 80 good that major
releasing organization offered to
buy It outright for $4,000.
The answer was a decisive No"
by the Coins. who figured that il
the film was worth that much to
another company. il was worth
more to them in the open market.
But the five new members sulked:
they were sure that golden OPP
oortunity had been lost
On the strength of that initial
venture, cBC sold five additional
though as yet unborn, features.
This really startled the quintette
of new investors, who had planned
to take a quick profit on the one
feature and run. The "Fretful
Five" finally baked at going along
and withdrew their investments and
their cash in the company. These
men might have been part owners
of Columbia Pictures Corporation
today.
But at the time. their departure
left the Coins in a predicament
They were faced with the task OF
having to raise new capital with
which to produce their program
OF five feature pictures. 1t was a
tough problem = but they figured
it out.
They figured it out we'll too.
When the Coins started product
ion on their second feature they
had just $1,000 in the bank. When
they finished the picture. they still
had $1,000 in the bank. This sounds
Ike financial magic. As a matter
OF fact. it was something lar more

Rainbow Division Unit
10 Probe Revival Plan

Members of the Rainbow Division
Veterans National Executive Com
mittee, disturbed at the War De-
partment's reported plans to re-
activate the AID Division as part
OF the New York National Guard
instead of retaining the Nation wide
composition which has been part of
the Rainbow tradition in two World
Wars, planned to discuss the matter
this morning with Gen. Thomas T.
Handy, deputy chief of staff and a
World War I Rainbow veteran.
The group was to include Harold

publication Rainbow Reveille, and
four past president of the 42d Divi-
sion Society-Col. j. Monroe John
son, director of defense transporta-
ton; Walker H. Colston. M. Man
ming Marcus and Elmer Neagle.
Mr.. Colston explained the COM
mittee was not empowered to act
for the Rainbow Division veterans
as whole, but was merely inter-
ested in obtaining information from
which the membership would be
able to make such recommendations
as it found advisable.
He said, however, that ne felt
the present feeling of a number of
Ralnbowers is that the division
should not be assigned to any par
ticular State" but that all States
should be represented.
During World War I, Mr. Colston
said, the And Division was COM
posed of National Guard units from
rs States and the District. The
division was re-activated July IA,
1943, and was assigned personnel
from all the States and the District
IN proportion to population. 1t
entered combat in December, 1914,
and was de-activated in Austria
this year on its third anniversary of
World War II service.

80 to 10 people on the ground to

And once in the hangar you've got
to have someone sit up all night

Three Veterans Posts Ask
1O-Year immigration Halt

A 10-year suspension of immigra-
ton into this country is urged in
resolutions adopted this week by
the three Montgomery County posts,
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
The resolutions were approved
unanimously by the Silver Spring
Memorial Post 1862, Takoma Post
$50 and Montgomery County Post
1858 in Bethesda.
In opposing what they described
as plans by Government officials to
relax immigration laws and admit
thousands of European refugees in
to the United States, the three
veterans organizations said such
action would be grossly unfair to
our citizens and in particular, to
the returning servicemen"
The three veterans groups con-
tended in their resolutions that an
influx of "indigent foreigner" into
this country will increase existing
nationl housing problems and
create additional competition in the
already highly competitive fields of
small business and labor wherein the
majority Of veterans are employed"
