Newspaper Page Text6 C MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Construction irarts on First New York Film Studio Since 30s Br FREDERICK M. WINSHIP .. United Press International Rirricn Cltv N.Y.-fllPD-Con- (truction began this week on the first major movie produc tion center to be built In the east since Paramount closed its Long Island studios in the mid-I930s. A veteran broadway and film producer, Michael Myer berg 56, negotiated with un ion and real estate interests for three years to realize his dream of low-cost film pro duction in the talent-rich New York area. Developer-builder William Zeckendorf caught Myer berg's enthusiasm and helped him acquire a 25-year lease on three unused hangars at Roosevelt field, a once-famous Long Island airport now con verted into a shopping center and industrial park. History was made at Roosevelct field when Charles Lindbergh took off there in 1927 for his epo chal flight to Paris. Convening Hangars Myerberg is converting the hangars into five sound stage studios at a cost of $2.5 million. He will produce five films there in the next two years. The studios, which can handle 15 productions a year, will be available to other movie and TV film producers on a lease basis. The re-development of film making on Long Island brings the movie saga full cycle. Long Island and New Jersey were the centers of pioneer filmmaking until Jesse Lasky and Cecil B. DeMille estab lished 'studios in Hollywood in 1913. When Meyerberg made the film "Patterns" in Brooklyn in 1955, it was the first completely New York made film in 33 years. Myerberg makes no secret that establishing his film com plex in Nassau county, out side New York City proper, made it possible for him to obtain concessions from the International Alliance of The atrical Stage Employes (IATSE) that he could not Foreign Visitors Get Attention in Chicago Hotels By JESSE BOGUE UPI Financial Editor New York -tUPI The United States has about 185 million inhabitants today, yet the per sonal attention given by just one of them may help decide what a visitor in the "Travel America" program thinks about the whole nation. This is the belief of David A. Zaransky, president of the Hamilton and Harrison hotels in Chicago. His hotels arc independents, not members ol any chain. He is a member of the American Hotel associ ation. When Hie U.S. Department of Commerce went to work to put some .'team behind the "Travel America" program, Zaransky became interested at once. He talked to depart ment officials and to travel agents and airline represents tives from overseas about the economic and personal prob lems of persons who would come to the United Stales un der the program. 'Takn Planning' "We have handled more groups in the 'Travel Amer ica' program and domestic tours than any other indepen. dent hotels in Chicago," Zar ansky said on a visit here. "We work with oilier hide. pendent hotels, and with some who are in chain organiza. tions too. "It means a lot of work - but it's worth it, both for the success of the program and for the success of the hotels, too. This is where the per. sonal attention of the man ager counts." To make the overseas visitor pleased with his stay in any city takes planning both before his arrival and after his departure - planning that sometimes may not be done by even the best of the tour directors," he continued. Midnight Walks "This may mean even find ing what they liad to eat at the last place they stopped -so we won't be feeding the visitor chicken for fuur days in a row, for example. Or being prepared to clmnge a planned visit to a factory to a visit to a museum. "One of the first thinns to do when an overseas group become guests is to make sure that there is someone always on tap who speaks their language, too. "And one must be prepared to cope with the unexpected. Occasionally a couple from a group may turn up In the lobby at midnight and an nounce they want to take a walk. If it is at all possible, I try to send along a bellhop or some representative of the hotel - not to 'keep an eye on them,' but just to make ure they don't get lost." have gotten from New York City locals of the union. The producer said the east coast council of IATSE "put their heads on the block to break labor patterns in New York City and Hollywood that have forced many U.S. movie producers to go to Europe to make films." 'I think we have broken patterns right down the line nd established a healthy change in labor-capital rela tionship, Myerberg said. "I think what we have done here will boost the U.S. movie in dustry and restore it to its former leadership." Myerberg said favorable terms negotiated with seven IATSE locals on Long Island would make it possible for him to produce his first film, "The Frogpond," based on Joyce Mclver's novel, for $357,000. He said it would cost $733,000 if no union con cessions had been given. Film ing begins June 1. Steve D'Invillo, secretary treasurer of the IATSE coun cil, disclosed that t'i; union agreed to reductions in the size of production crews, curtailment of overtime work, and overlapping of employee duties in return for a profit sharing plan and a say in production decisions. The union will get one sixth of the profits of Michael Myerberg Productions, Inc., after the company recovers its production costs and one half of the distribution costs. The union's share will be split among the locals, which will apportion the profits to members or place them in a union fund. The union also will appoint three members of a five-man review committee which will make decisions on script pur chase, shooting J schedules, crew size, and all expenses in connection with production and distribution. D'Anzillo said the union is willing to work on the same terms with other production companies which lease space at the Roosevelt field hangars. Production Prohibitive "Total labor costs have made U.S. film production prohibitive," said D'Inzillo. "I hope profit sharing will be the answer. Some Holly wood and New York locals are very opposed to this ap proach, but if we are success ful in this experiment, I feel the whole union will go for lt. Myerberg said a number of leading directors and authors, including Eliza Kazan, Robert Rossen, Arthur and Sidney Lumet, have shown an inter est in using the Roosevelt field facilities. The studios are only 40 minutes from Broadway and will draw heavily on the . legitimate stage for acting talent. Even tually Meyerberg hopes to add seven more studios. "In the course of time, 1 think we can compete again with England, Italy and France in movie production," said Meyerberg. "I think that there will be four or five film complexes developed in the New York area. We could produce twice as many films as we do now in this county and it wouldn't hurt anyone." 83rd Division To Hold 17th Reunion Victor E. Landis, third vice president and publicity direct or of the Thunderbolt 83rd In fantry Division Association, Inc., has issued a plea for help in locating "lost troops" of the famed division of World War II. Landis is leading the drive to locate some 30,000 former members of the ' division, whose names are on the ros ter. They have not been con tacted since the close of the war and are assumed to be living throughout the nation, some of them in Oregon. Every year the 83rd holds a reunion. This year the 17th annual conclave will be held in Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 15, 16 and 17 at the Hotel Clay pool. The 83rd spent one year at Camp Atterbury near In dianapolis. All former members of the old 83rd are asked to contact the national secretary, Harry Lock wood, 43 Oakland ave., Jersey City, N. J. SERVICES SCHEDULED Palo Alto, Calif.
