I met an elderly Polish Jew in the deli in Beverly Hills in 1989 who struck up a conversation with me because I was practicing my Polish with the waitress. He told me he came from Warsaw in the 30’s and owned the Martha Washington Theater in Hamtramck and was related somehow to both Lasky and Krim. He moved to Hollywood using the money he made on the Martha Washington. The waitress tood me he was once married to Kim Novack and had something to do with bringing her to Detroit for a premier at the Trans Lux Krim theater on Woodward. I never got his name but the waitress said he was a founder of Paramount Studios. He told me he made his first dollar from Lasky and Krim who sold him the Martha Washington Theater. That is where I saw Viva Las Vegas where even the black girls were screaming.
