It is very nice to be with you this morning, and thank you for inviting me. Henry assigned me the topic of the relationship of entrepreneurship to economic growth, job creation, and wealth. This is a subject that is relevant to me as I phase down in the venture business. The formal venture institutional business really started in 1945, right at the end of World War 11.1 I came back out of the service and became an entrepreneur at that time.

  • DW Griffith's the Birth of a Nation
    1 D. W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation: Transnational and Historical Perspectives Melvyn Stokes Introduction On February 8, 1915, Harry Aitken and D. W. Griffith founded the Epoch Producing Company to handle the distribution of The Birth of a Nation. The board of directors of the new company met in the middle of March to decide how to distribute the film, which was already playing to capacity audiences at the Liberty Theater in New York. Weighing up the alternatives of selling off the distribution rights in some areas and opting to "road show" the film themselves, they worked out a compromise: they would organize road shows to screen the film in major cities, potentially creaming off the most profitable sector of the market, while selling off the distribution rights in areas such as California, some western states, and New England outside Boston.1 One or both of these strategies could be applied to countries outside the United States. From the beginning, Griffith and his collaborators were intent on capturing an international as well as a national market for The Birth of a Nation. In neighboring Canada, Epoch adopted a strategy of selling off distribution rights. In July 1915, the company signed an agreement with the Central Canada Exhibition Association to show the film for a week (September 13-20) in the capital Ottowa.2 On September 9, the company agreed a ten-year deal which would give exclusive rights to the Basil Corporation to exhibit the film in "All the Provinces of Canada, and also Newfoundland, and Alaska."3 Shortly afterwards, total income from Canada was already estimated to have reached $40,000.4 2 Reception in Canada The reception of the film in Canada was heavily influenced by geographical propinquity to the U.S.
