OF WILLIAM FOX
FULLY REALIZED
('William Fox, an outstanding
and dramatic figure of the motion
. picture world, will celebrate tho
fwenty-flfth anniversary ot his
tart in tlio motion picture busi
ness on October 14.
I The affiilr, bocauso of tho Inter
national activities of Fox films and
theatres, will bo world-wldo In
cope. Wherover a unit or branch
df he Fox organization maintains
in office or place of business there
I celebrutlon of some sort will be
held.
i Fox films maintain branches, for
the illstrlbutlon of the many pic
tures produced In both the Cali
fornia and eastorn studios, in ev
ery civilized country on the globe.
The Fox theatres, all affiliated In
one great circuit reaches from the
New England stutes across the
country to tho Important Fox West
Coast Theatres with headquarters
Ip Lob Angeles.
i.No company ' cnguged In tho
making of motion pictures Iiuh a!
piore ". colorful background than
that of the Fox organization. It :
is only a few yeara ago that Fox
really sturted lo make himself felt
In . the industry, tins napponvu
when , Fpx signed . the onc-timo
faijious Theda Bara to a contract
and. produced "A Fool Thero
Was.'; It is doubtful If any Pic
ture, over made, turned In a great
er profit than this, the first of
what .was later called, "super
features." Again the Fox com
pany scored a tremendous, success
with "What Prlco tllory." "Sev
enth (leaven." and the gold medal
picture,, "Sunrise."
. William Fox developed, and this
against the supposed better Judg
ment ot his associates, the new
celebrated, Movietone. In this re
gard, .It is Interesting to know that
Foijiays his first thought about
yoking clotures was merely that
ftey would be of great educational
benefit, and that he had never con
sidered' them from the entertain
ment angle. ' This accounts for his

William Fox on tho road to his
great achievements and that has
lengthened his nhndow until It
now is prominent In the world of
film.
That Imaginative dream came to
William Fox whon ho was a small
hoy living in tho tenements of the
east side of Now York; lie was
horn in Hungary fifty years ago.
Young William, when not attend
ing school, sold newspapers and
peddled shoo polish which his
father made. At night, the youth
liked to attend the theatre and
whenever he could scrape together
the money could he found sitting
with tho other gallery gods.
One dny the boy unburdened
himself to his mother, telling her
that he had dreamed that some
day he would own a theatre of
his own. The fulfillment of his
drenm started In 190U, when Wil
liam Fox Invested his hard earned
savings, amounting to $1,0(10 In a
penny nrcado ut Brooklyn. For
many weeks business was at a low
ebb and tho venture showed noth
ing but losses. ,13ut Fox changed
tho stylos oC entertainment nnd
mado It a success. Soon ho pur
chased two more penny arcades'
and mnde successes of all of them.
Next tho youth leased the Dewey
nnd Dotham theatres in New York.
This was the start, and tho Fox
theatrical holdings were Increas
ing steadily. With a growing
chain of thenlres to he furnished
with pictures Fox found the sup
ply of films was both Inadequate
