...other half of the story is what Columbia did not do during the boom. It did not keep expensive stars under long-term contracts. It did not load itself with theatre chains. It did not get itself heavily in debt. Such unusual wisdom in Hollywood was due chiefly to the frugal instincts of the Cohns.

In 1920 they began their career on Hollywood...
