He came in contact with the Disney studio during the early Mickey Mouse years, when the Disneys battled with their states-rights distributor Patrick A. Powers-a former partner of Carl Laemmle's and a consummate example of a former two-fisted independent outlaw who graduated to film-baron status only to torment other independents.
