Hollywoods' vast film industry.
Mr.. Lasky. a moviemaker for
A years. collapsed and died in

after talking about his book. II

stumbled and fell as he turned
to walk toward his car at the
motor entrance Of the Beverly
Hilton Hotel. Only q day earlier
he had attended the annual Pro
Bowl professional football game
in Los Angeles.
Mr.. Lasky, Cecil B. de Mile
and Samuel Goldwyn formed q
trio that came West and pro-
duced the first feature length
film. THE Squaw Man." here
lin 1918.
The early-day producers fol-
lowed this picture with other
films, including Rose Of the
Rancho" Girl of the Golden
West" 1.-THE Warrens Of Vir-
ginia." 1.-THE Governors Lady, "
"The Woman" and many 9TH
ers.
Mr.. Lasky once recalled that
Mr.. de Mile. director Of the
Jesse l.. Lasky Feature Play Co.
had been the one who selected
q barn amid a Hollywood orange
grove for the first production
and that he, Mr.. LaSky, had
suggested Arizona.
II wonder what would have
happened to us. and maybe to
Hollywood. II Cecil had selected
a site in Arizona" Mr.. Lasky
unused. ,
In 1916 the Lasky organiza-
ton merged with Famous
Players Film Co. TO become
