Document 265178
SAMUEL GOLDWYN. Typed DS: "Samuel Goldwyn", 1p, 8½x11.
Los Angeles, California, 1933 December 7. Goldwyn promises to pay
Twentieth Century Pictures "Nine (9) months after date, for value
received...$147,611.59 without interest...." Typed note at bottom indicates the
note was paid in full on September 7, 1934. Samuel Goldwyn Studio was
founded in 1918. In 1924, Metro Pictures, Goldwyn Pictures and Louis B. Mayer
Productions merged to become Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Ironically, Samuel Goldwyn had
been forced to relinquish ownership of Goldwyn Pictures in 1922, and was never a
part of the company that bore his name. He was an independent producer when
he borrowed $147,611.59 from Twentieth Century Pictures in 1933. Earlier
that year, Joseph Schenck, the president of United Artists, co-founded Twentieth
Century Pictures with Darryl F. Zanuck, former head of production at the Warner
Bros. studio. Twentieth Century Pictures was organized in April 1933 and
signed a distribution deal with United Artists in July 1933. The Samuel Goldwyn
Company produced Roman Scandals starring Eddie Cantor in 1933; it was
released on December 14, 1933. In May 1935, Twentieth Century Pictures and
Fox Film merged. Folds, not at signature. Lightly creased. File holes at upper
margin. "Cancelled" written in red, (unknown hand) touches "Sam" in Samuel.
Typed docket on verso shows through to blank right margin.
