Face to Face With Marcus Loew Motion Picture Magnate (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) Counting his coppers on the curl in New York after the early morning rush selling newspapers, little Mar cue Loew, aged six, learned the magic of pennies. Later he created a “pen ny arcade” that piled up pennies into profits in one year—completing the cycle of a cent. “My plan at four and at fifty is the same —try and get ahead of the fellow just in front of me”—were the words addressed to me by this big little man who has become a foremost motion picture magnate. This erstwhile newsboy now controls 350 theatres in the United States. As the head of the new motion picture merger. including Metro, Cosmopolitan. Goldwyn and others —a hundred-tnil-lion-dollar corporation—he will produce sixty big pictures tor the great phalanx of motion picture fans every year. Thirty-seven Loew theatres were under construction and «vAr 8.000 people on hisipayrool the day 1 met Marons Loew, yet he talked like a

man enjoying a vacation. When the father of Marcus Loew arrived in America from Austria, and located on Avenue B in New York City, he little dreamed that his son. Marcus would some day have a theatre marking the site on which he was born. Another theatre marks thei very spot where Marcus Loew was 1 married, on S6th street, showing that: sentiment still prevails in business. The first business venture was publishing a newspaper. He launched in the fur business while still a young man. and then came a failiye on which his later sueceso was buiided When David Warfield was first stagr .ng in New Yo k. he and Marcus Loe w took many walks together, and while on one of these pavement strolls they observed people crowding into the penny arcades to see pictures “that moved." Marcus Loew already j knew how to make the copper* eoumt. and the sight of people investias their pennies for a "peep” lured him i back to the basic coin as a unit ofj investment. Over $155.M« represent-: ed the profit made out of pennies the first year. This convinced him that ■ he was going la the right direction. The little wizard of motion pictures'

Who led man by His own word. Put soon “all man became Resh” and withdrawing from the paternal guidance sought to be himself his own teacher. His failure was miserable and he was to again call upon his God for assistance.
