ROMANTIC CAREER

Mr. Bryson had a romantic career. When he was ten he was selling newspapers on the streets in Kansas. while he was still at- tending school..

Then he became a reporter. He invested his sayings in a small cinema which held about 100 pep- -ple. He did nearly everything at the cinema took the money and worked the projector.

Eventually he met the owner of another small cinéma, and it was arranged that they should be- tween them buy films and rent them to exhibitors. Ha colleague was Carl Laemale, now a fameus name in the film world.

Soon they had distributing centres in various cities and were laying the foundations of a for- tume.

In 1933 he sued Universal Pic- tures, alleging wrongful dismissal from the managing directorship which he had held at a salary of 27800 a year. He lost the case.
