Mr. President. today Universal International Pictures celebrates its 50th anniversary. It is the first of Hollywoods major film producing companies to reach the halfcentury mark. Fifty years ago Carl Laemmle. a German immigrant. set up a modest cinema shop in a community of 5.000 people that called itself Hollywood. He named his little enterprise the Universal Film Manufacturing Co. and began at once to produce pictures. Before he was fully settled in his quarters they were already inadequate. The operations today of Universal Pictures are manifold and diverse and they have spread to the four corners of the globe. Universal Pictures has a proud history to look back on.
