	Nicholas M. Schenck
		Nicholas Schenck, one of seven children, was born in Rybinsk, a Volga River village, on Nov. 14, 1881, two years after Joseph.
		Under Schenck's helm (steadied in part by Manhattan banking interests administering the hefty block of shares originally sold to Fox), Loew's escaped the financial reverses of the '30s, and its stock was a staple in "window-and-orphan" portfolios.
		Nicholas Schenck, 87, former head of Loew's in the pre-divorcement period of theatre control, and hence of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, died in Florida March 4, three days after Joseph Vogel, the embattled head of Metro in its proxy wars.

	HERNANDO: Proposal: Bring us jobs, have your fees waived
		James Nicholas, a professor of urban planning and law at the University of Florida, said that despite the ever-spreading use of the strategy since the days of Operation Bootstrap, no link has been shown between the use of inducements and attracting industry.
		Once a company has settled somewhere, however, and you ask why it chose a certain location, Nicholas said, what you hear about is the quantity and quality of local labor, good transportation networks, public facilities and schools and, increasingly, substantial recreational opportunities.
		Nicholas said that in the 1970s, he surveyed 300 businesses in Florida and asked why they had chosen to locate where they had.

	The Waldorf Conference: The Meeting That Began the Blacklist
		Typically, Schenck sought it near the fringes of the law: he asked William Fox, a theater owner who had expanded as rapidly as Loew, to bankroll the merger of Fox's and Loew's holdings.
		Schenck had to allow Mayer his fiefdom, but as head of Loew's he constantly kept his old adversary in check.
		Money is the trail Nick Schenck followed to the Waldorf; MGM's profits were falling and, much as he wanted to blame Mayer, the public pressure against the most visible of Hollywood's studios was also a factor.

		Joseph Schenck, Keaton's producer up to that time, could no longer afford to produce films independently due both to poor box office returns on several expensive projects--not least among them Keaton's masterpiece, The General (1927)--and to the financial uncertainty and heavy costs associated with the industry's conversion to sound pictures.
		Schenck himself gave up producing films, focusing his energies instead on administering United Artists.
		He recommended that Keaton sign up with MGM, since his brother Nicholas Schenck had recently taken over as president of Loew's, MGM's parent company.

		Mayer was quite displeased with this, and tensions between him and Schenck would be delicate from this point onward.
		Under Mayer's and Thalberg's management, MGM Studios became the largest film company in Hollywood (although they were actually located in Culver City) by the mid-1930s.
		Thalberg was removed from his position as head of production in 1932, after disputes with Mayer and Schenck, and subsequently suffering a heart attack; at that point, Mayer started bringing in independent producers (notably David O. Selznick) to cover the studio's output.
