Hughes’ Fortune Howard Hughes has, great wealth, but it did not come to him through’ inheritance. One of the richest young men in Amer- fea, and perhaps the world as well, his fortune is estimated at between one hundred and fifty and two hundred million dollars, g@ecumulated by Hughes through the success of his varied interests. Virtually all that has been written about Hughes’ money has liberally mixed fact with fancy. He did not inherit $17,000,900, as ome of many highly-colored stories reported, His father, How- ard Hughes, one of the most col- ertul figures in Texas before the turn of the century, founded his own company in 1909 to produce his own patented rock-bit for oil well drilling. The company be- ame the Sharpe-Hughes part- mership in 1913, and the elder Hughes bought out his partner im 1916, By 1922 when Hughes, drs mother died, the company had a successful but small busi- fess supplying these rock-bits to' the off industry. Young Hughes inherited fifteen per cent of the company from his mother, and the following year, on the death of his father, inherited another twenty-five per cent. At this time the business was appraised by the U. S. Government as be- ing worth $650,000. Hughes Enters Other Fields Now in a critical condition at the Good Samaritan hospital, Los Angeles, as the result of an air- Plane accident, Hughes refuses te accept the orders of his doc- (oF, Relying as usual on his own judgment, the tall, jut-jawed Texan continues to issue orders! and make plans for the many Projects he has underway. Thus he keeps the current chapter of the Hughes saga consistent with the preceding ones. ‘The Star-Maker Before he was 21, he invaded Hollywood as a producer, and be- gen his career as the most suc- eessful and colorful independent producer the movie colony has yet seen. In less than two years his innate sense of showmanship was fullgrown. To the amaze- ment of Hollywood wiseacres, he made $300,000 with his first ma- jer production, “Two Arabian Nights,” a comedy which brought sereen fame to Louis Wolheim, His passion for realism arrayed censors against him for the first time with the showing of his production, “The Racket,” star- ving Thomas Meighan in a too- tgue portrayal of big-city political racketeering during the prohibi- tion era. Hughes won legal bat- tles for permission to show the film in every city and state wher censorship threatened. “The Racket,” too, was successful, and jJaunched the directorial career and by launching the screen career of Pat O’Brien in his pro- duction of “The Front Page.” Both pictures were among the top box-ofifee money-makers of the early 1930's. “The Outlaw” During the depression, Hughes temporarily abandoned movie production, to devote his time to his expanding aviation interest and activities, but he has re- turned to the top film producer ranks with “The Outlaw,” which introduces Jane Russell as the newest Hughes star discovery. Overcoming censorship difficul- ties, the film has been playing to record-breaking crowds in 30 states, topping box-office records previously held by. “Gone With the ‘Wind.” In order to ‘present i“The Outlaw” realistically Hughes again has steadfastly re- sisted attempts of censors to.cut ; the picture, Record. as a Pilot Howard Hughes, with all these other accomplishments so widely {Separated in type of endeavor, found time to become one of the orld’s greatest airplane pilots. *\He has been flying for 26 years, starting at the age of 14. He has insisted upon taking the risk of making the first test flight on every plane he has de- signed and built, and has flown hundreds of other new types of planes. He has specialized on the overloaded take-offs and ac- curate navigation required on long-distance flights. It is esti- mated that he has made over 25,000 take-offs and landings in both Iand and seaplanes of all descriptions. His most celebrated marks which have studded the airplane record books, include the world’s land plane speed record which he took away from France in 1935, and brought back to this country. In a plane which he de- signed and built himself, he set a record of 352 miles an hour, many years before military pur- suit planes attained this speed. Flying the same plane, he es- tablished a trans-continental rec- ord of seven hours and twenty- eight minutes from Los Angeles to New York, which remained unbroken for eight years.
