Author Description

Excerpt from Kinematograph Year Book, 1942, Vol. 29 Then, at the beginning of December, Oscar Deutsch died, the man who had built up the great and successful Odeon Circuit, with active interests in renting through his association with United Artists, and in production through his system of backing individual ventures by guaranteeing play-dates. It was his unique abilityto envisage future developments that gave him the power to drive ahead as he did, and his cha in was practically complete even before the outbreak of war put a stop to construction, but he was a man who, having reached the peak he had set out for, would inevitably make another one his mark. But the Odeon chain is no mean monument to the memory of a man under 50 years at his death. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
