Then he joined Warners and made "Sergeant York," "The Adventures of Mark Twain," and "Rhapsody in Blue." Now his career is again at a peak, which proves it's possible for a man to be successful 31 years in a business and still retain the respect and affection of and the community. Lasky in Alaska But before he and his associates started putting Hollywood on the map Lasky had cut himself a slice of show business. It all started with a cornet he bought because he wanted to play in the San Jose boys' band. Lasky was 12. Lasky's father died shortly before the turn of the century, leaving him the sole support of his mother and sister. When gold was discovered in Alaska in 1900 young Jesse joined the stampede. The only gold he got his hands on was what more fortunate miners showered into the orchestra pit of the cheap theater where he got a job as cornet player. When he got back to San Francisco he discovered his little sister had grown up and could play the cornet, too. The two started doing duets, and in short order Lasky had his first vaudeville act worked out. From performing he turned to staging acts. Soon he was in the big time and making his first fortune. It didn't take him long to lose it. A Super-Du- d The Folies Bergere of New York turned that trick. Lasky planned it to give New Yorkas a super-shoers a chance to watch a lavish musical show while being wined and dined. The public stayed away. It cost him $110,000, his total fortune. A California mission signboard gave him the idea for an operetta called "California." Lasky got Cecil De Mille to write it. That was the beginning of an historic association. "California" was a hit. So were Mille musicals. The Lasky-D- e was riding high again and becoming restless. The Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play company was the result of that restlessness. De Mille and Samuel another young fellow beginning to edge into the show business, The new were Lasky's partners. enterprise was to make motion pictures. "The Squaw Man," their first, was a great hit. Adolph Zukor, head of Famous Players, wired Lasky his congratulations. The two rivals joined forces.

Cason of ' The great depression claimed Jesse Lasky as one of its victims. His fortune gone, Lasky resigned from Paramount in 932. It was a twilight of the Titan, but since that he'd found more pictures he wanted to produce. Pictures that would tell in personal histories the true story of this country, where poor boys become famed immortals. Warners shared his belief in that type of yarn, so Lasky joined them, and his first was "Sergeant York," a tale of a Tennessee farmer who became a great war hero; then "The Adventures of Mark Twain," a river pilot's rise to literary fame, and "Rhapsody in Blue," the life of the late George Gershwin, the east side lad whose music will live forever. about the story of the And ho toot in' cornet player called Jesse Lasky or has he, in tooting the other fellow's horn, forgotten how to St. The Question 4.

S. engineers adding greater flying range to our pursuit planes, there will be more effective bombing of enemy soil. For, while escort fighters parry the blows of Nazi rocket planes, our bombers can move to their targets unhampered. Our Eighth air force in England held the upper hand in daylight precision bombing until new Nazi tactics jesulted in heavy losses, pushing back our daylight bombing front to a point only 400 miles from England, as shown by the arc. This was the range of our escort planes. The British, whose specialty is night bombing, have been able to make deeper penetrations into the blackened area because of the protection of moonless nights. d. Mdran. Tewi ftat m Cfty jCoety s |
