An Original Vintage 7" x 9" [18 x 23 cm] News Photo (Learn More) Paramount is a entertainment production company from 1912 to the present. They are the fifth oldest surviving film studio in the world. Paramount Pictures dates its existence from the founding of the Famous Players Film Company by Adolph Zukor. That same year, Jesse L. Lasky opened his Lasky Feature Play Company, and both companies released their films through a start-up company called Paramount Pictures Corporation (and their first movies were "released through the Paramount Program"). In 1916, Zukor maneuvered a three-way merger of his Famous Players, the Lasky Company, and Paramount into the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation. The new corporation absorbed other firms (such as Artcraft in 1918) and eventually was simply known as Paramount Pictures. The early history of Paramount is fascinating and filled with backstabbing, and anyone interested will be greatly rewarded by reading about it! Important Added Info: Note that this news photo, which measures 7" x 9" [18 x 23 cm], shows makeup artists and painters picketing Paramount Studios, and the snipe on the back says that if other Hollywood employees went on strike in solidarity that over 15,000 workers would be affected!
