| Maxwell Karger, Metro's director general, was bom in Ohio, reared a violinist
and chose journalism for a career. However, he drifted from the newspaper
field and hecame a drygoods cherk, advertising director for a big department
store, floorwalker, leader of an orchestra, concert player and finally a
motion picture impressario. He played first violin with the Philharmonic
and Metropolitan orchestras for seven years. After it romanic business and
newspaper career he came to New York and was one of the organizers of Metro.
Mr. Karger believes in big things and does them. He is a creative executive
with an imaginative turn of mind and seldom balks at an eighteen hour day
at the desk. He is is an intensely enthusiastic film fan himself and seen
a great future in the industry. |
