- 100 Years of Universal: The Carl Laemmle Era
Universal founder Carl Laemmle and his vision for the future of cinema. A century later, that vision still resonates.
Carl Laemmle (born Karl Lämmle; January 17, 1867 - September 24, 1939) was a pioneer in American filmmaking and a founder of Universal Studios. Laemmle produced or worked on over 400 films.
Regarded as one of the most important of the early film pioneers, Laemmle was born in modern-day Germany. He emigrated to the United States in 1884 and worked in Chicago for 20 years before he began buying nickelodeons, eventually expanding into a film distribution service, the Laemmle Film Service.
After moving to New York, Carl Laemmle got involved in producing movies, forming Independent Moving Pictures (IMP); the city was the site of many new movie-related businesses. On April 30, 1912, in New York, Laemmle of IMP, Pat Powers of Powers Motion Picture Company, Mark Dintenfass of Champion Film Company, William Swanson of Rex Motion Picture Company, David Horsley of Nestor Film Company, and Charles Baumann and Adam Kessel of the New York Motion Picture Company, merged their studios and incorporated the Universal Film Manufacturing Company, with Laemmle assuming the role of president. They founded the Company with studios in Fort Lee, New Jersey, where many early film studios in America's first motion picture industry were based at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1915, the studio moved to 235 acres (0.95 km2) of land in the San Fernando Valley, California.
Universal maintained two East Coast offices: The first was located at 1600 Broadway, New York City. Initially known as The Studebaker building, this building was razed around 2004-5. The second location to house Universal's executive offices was 730 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Many years later, 445 Park Avenue was the location of Universal's executive offices.
After moving to California, Laemmle purchased the former home of film pioneer Thomas Ince on Benedict Canyon Drive, Beverly Hills as a residence for his family. The house was razed in the early 1940s. Laemmle also maintained a large apartment for himself and his two children, Rosabelle Laemmle (later Bergerman) and Carl Jr., at 465 West End Avenue, New York City, one block off Riverside Drive near the Hudson River.
In 1916, Laemmle sponsored the $3,000 three-foot-tall solid silver Universal Trophy for the winner of the annual Universal race at the Uniontown Speedway board track in southwestern Pennsylvania. Universal filmed each race from 1916 to 1922.
Carl Laemmle, although having made hundreds of movies in his active years as a producer (1909-1934), is probably best remembered for The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923), The Phantom of The Opera (1925), both with Lon Chaney Sr. in the title role, and The Man Who Laughs (1928).
He died from cardiovascular disease on September 24, 1939, in Beverly Hills, California, at 72. Laemmle was entombed in the Chapel Mausoleum at Home of Peace Cemetery." ~ Wikipedia

Thanks. I used to work for Laemmle Theaters in Santa Monica (for 8 years) for Bob Laemmle and his son, and really didn't know the history of Bob's grandfather. :-)
May the Spirit of The Laemmles always be alive and well at Universal Orlando Resort’s properties! And may Universal Orlando’s newest Theme Park Gate, Epic Universe, be completed in a matter of Months!
I wish to make movies for Universal Pictures largely because they're the distributors of two of my favorite movies of all time Jaws(1975) and The Thing(1982) I would be happy to know that I get to build a home at Universal Pictures producing great horror movies
don't find out *too* much about Universal, lol
originalfunkyfry that’s not what I’m interested all I wanna do is make excellent movies as it relates to horror
My great uncle worked for him as a film distributor.
I guess we can call him.
The monster movie Walt Disney.
I visited his hometown today in Laupheim.
I learned a lot of about his Jews heritage and saved over 300 Jews from the Nazis.
I love Carl laemmle

Your description says "(HD, 9 minutes)"
Do you have an actual HD version uploaded somewhere?
Nateflix This was uploaded in HD 16:9, but some how UA-cam downgraded the resolution. I'll see if I have another copy of it and upload again if I do.
Nateflix I just checked... this is the only version I have. Sorry.
