Hollywood Universal Pictures Marks Its 50th Anniversary

The oldest Motion picture Company in the world, Universal Pictures marks its 50th Anniversary with a nostalgic glance at the past and an ambitious look at the future.

Images of Thomas Edison and his first film production studio the Black Miria or Kinetographic Theater where film strips were made for the Kinetoscope. Birth of the movies.

Founded by Carl Laemmle as the old IMP Company, Universal pioneered with such epics as Hiawatha, shot in the wilds of Fort Lee, New Jersey, across the river from New York City. In the days of William S. Hart and Mary Pickford movies mushroomed into a part of everyone's entertainment life and Uncle Carl proved to be one of the most foresighted of the pioneers. Carl Laemmle was honored by all of the Industry when he celebrated his 30th Anniversary as a Producer.

Scenes of theater marquee featuring the movies Spartacus, Back Street, Flower Drum Song. Images of many movie stars and celebrities of that era.

Milton Rackmil, today's Universal Pictures President with Cary Grant, cuts an Anniversary cake that is symbolic of what is to be accomplished in the second half-century with pictures like That Touch Of Mink, The Ugly American and To Kill A Mockingbird slated to follow in marquee lights such past hits as Come September, Pillow Talk and Spartacus. The past forecasts a brilliant future.
