THE JOB — WE FINANCE ALL WORK GUARANTEED When I heard about the book, I decided to hunt up the pioneer film maker. I found him at his large, comfortable home just off Hollywood Boulevard. White-haired and peppery at 77, Smith is one of the remaining members of that fabulous breed of immigrant boys who struck it rich in the U. S. It's a good idea not to ask him when he got into the movie busi- ness because he’ll reply: ‘There wasn’t any movie business when I started making movies.” That was in 1896.
