L. B. Burstein, President of the King-Bee (1917) 🇺🇸
The man who profits by his experiences in the past is the man whose future is successful. ‘Old man Experience’ comes to us all and, with his son ‘Good Advice’ shows us where we were wrong, and then disappears. How soon he is forgotten by most of us! To those who remember his visit success comes and stays. To others, they keep struggling, and soon find themselves in the ‘subway’ of life.
This is the philosophy of Louis B. Burstein, president of the King-Bee Films Corp., which has in the short space of six months made itself one of the most successful comedy companies in the film world.
Mr. Burstein was one of the original organizers of the New York Motion Picture Co. and Reliance Stock Co., which at that time had in its roster Phillips Smalley, Lois Weber, James Kirkwood, Arthur Johnson, Jack Adolf, Marion Leonard, Henry Walthall, Anthony Sullivan, Gertrude Robinson, Flora Finch, E. L. Taylor, and Eugene Sangor. During his years in the film industry, he has made and supervised over two hundred comedies, all of which have shown a profit, Mr. Burstein, previous to his present vocation, was a successful lawyer. He practised law for twenty-one years.
