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.,
