DeMille became \"director general\" of the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, the nucleus of what would soon become Paramount Pictures. According to DeMille archivist James D'Arc at Brigham Young University's Film Music Archives, DeMille, in early 1922, terminated his ties with Famous Players-Lasky, purchased the Ince Studio in Culver City, California, and formed his own production unit, Cecil B. DeMille Productions, Inc. This company operated under the aegis of Paramount Pictures for most of the rest of his career. DeMille contracted to release his films through Jeremiah Milbank's Producers Distributing Corporation. The Ince Studio later became Selznick International Pictures, and finally became Pathe.\n From 1919-1922, DeMille concentrated on producing and directing films that portrayed a liberated sexual morality, while continuing to endorse traditional values. By 1923, however, the Hollywood film industry was charged with promoting immorality. While attempting to help redeem the industry from these charges, DeMille decided to produce a new film genre for which he was best known for the remainder of his career: spectacular historical and biblical epics. The first two examples of these productions, \"The Ten Commandments\" (1923; silent version) and \"The King of Kings\" (1927; originally silent), were immediately successful at the box office. According to Alan F. Martin's son Robert, \"The King of Kings\" premiere was the film that opened Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. To take advantage of the newly introduced technique of sound, \"The King of Kings\" went into general release in 1928, complete with a score arranged by Hugo Riesenfeld. Since that time, the film has been seen in this form.\n In 1925, DeMille left Paramount Pictures and organized the Cinema Corporation of America as a holding company that owned the stock of the Producer's Distributing Corporation and a new subsidiary, Cecil B. DeMille Pictures Corporation, controlled jointly by Milbank and DeMille. DeMille's position in the corporation was undermined by the fact that his features - those directed by himself as well as those under his supervision at DeMille Productions - were earning modest, if any, profits. His $2 million expenditure for \"The King of Kings,\" although the film was quite successful, \"created a crisis that threatened bankruptcy\" and led to the merger of Producer's Distributing Corporation, the Keith Albee-Orpheum chain, and the Pathe Exchange in 1927. That year, Keith Albee-Orpheum was renamed Radio-Keith-Orpheum (RKO), and RKO took over control of Pathe. Cinema Corporation of America was kept in existence for the purpose of distributing \"The King of Kings.\" It owned the copyright to that film, which was renewed in 1955.\n DeMille's alliance with Cinema Corporation of America was short-lived, however, and in 1928 he took his staff from Cecil B. DeMille Productions, Inc. to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. At his request, DeMille rejoined Paramount in 1931, and began producing and directing lavish films such as \"The Sign of the Cross (1932), \"Cleopatra\" (1934), and \"The Crusades\" (1935). From that time on, DeMille's association with larger-than-life, big-budget films became legendary.\n Through the work of the Cinema Corporation of America and its Vice-President Alan F. Martin, Cecil B. DeMille's most enduring film, \"The King of Kings,\" has been in constant theatrical and non-theatrical distribution since 1927. According to Robert Martin, his father \"was the single reason 'The King of Kings' stayed available to the public for close to 40 years.\" Alan F.

According to DeMille archivist James D'Arc at Brigham Young University's Film Music Archives, DeMille, in early 1922, terminated his ties with Famous Players-Lasky, purchased the Ince Studio in Culver City, California, and formed his own production unit, Cecil B. DeMille Productions, Inc. This company operated under the aegis of Paramount Pictures for most of the rest of his career.

While attempting to help redeem the industry from these charges, DeMille decided to produce a new film genre for which he was best known for the remainder of his career: spectacular historical and biblical epics. The first two examples of these productions, \"The Ten Commandments\" (1923; silent version) and \"The King of Kings\" (1927; originally silent), were immediately successful at the box office. According to Alan F. Martin's son Robert, \"The King of Kings\" premiere was the film that opened Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

DeMille Pictures Corporation, controlled jointly by Milbank and DeMille. DeMille's position in the corporation was undermined by the fact that his features - those directed by himself as well as those under his supervision at DeMille Productions - were earning modest, if any, profits. His $2 million expenditure for \"The King of Kings,\" although the film was quite successful, \"created a crisis that threatened bankruptcy\" and led to the merger of Producer's Distributing Corporation, the Keith Albee-Orpheum chain, and the Pathe Exchange in 1927. That year, Keith Albee-Orpheum was renamed Radio-Keith-Orpheum (RKO), and RKO took over control of Pathe.

DeMille became \"director general\" of the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, the nucleus of what would soon become Paramount Pictures. According to DeMille archivist James D'Arc at Brigham Young University's Film Music Archives, DeMille, in early 1922, terminated his ties with Famous Players-Lasky, purchased the Ince Studio in Culver City, California, and formed his own production unit, Cecil B. DeMille Productions, Inc. This company operated under the aegis of Paramount Pictures for most of the rest of his career. DeMille contracted to release his films through Jeremiah Milbank's Producers Distributing Corporation. The Ince Studio later became Selznick International Pictures, and finally became Pathe.\n From 1919-1922, DeMille concentrated on producing and directing films that portrayed a liberated sexual morality, while continuing to endorse traditional values. By 1923, however, the Hollywood film industry was charged with promoting immorality. While attempting to help redeem the industry from these charges, DeMille decided to produce a new film genre for which he was best known for the remainder of his career: spectacular historical and biblical epics. The first two examples of these productions, \"The Ten Commandments\" (1923; silent version) and \"The King of Kings\" (1927; originally silent), were immediately successful at the box office. According to Alan F. Martin's son Robert, \"The King of Kings\" premiere was the film that opened Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. To take advantage of the newly introduced technique of sound, \"The King of Kings\" went into general release in 1928, complete with a score arranged by Hugo Riesenfeld. Since that time, the film has been seen in this form.\n In 1925, DeMille left Paramount Pictures and organized the Cinema Corporation of America as a holding company that owned the stock of the Producer's Distributing Corporation and a new subsidiary, Cecil B.

The proposed route was from Fernandina to Cedar Key. \n Its first officers were Florida's first U.S. Senator David L. Yulee, President; George W. Call, Secretary and Treasurer; and Martin L. Smith, Chief Engineer. The principal office of the company was at Fernandina. The Florida Railroad initially received a federal land grant of 290,183.28 acres and a Florida grant of 505,144.14 acres. To help the railroad pay for itself and to help attract new settlers into the area, the state government authorized the Florida Railroad to sell land along its right-of-way. The Florida Land Improvement Society, made up of principal stockholders in the Florida Railroad, was created for the task. Actual construction began in 1855 and was completed in 1860. The line was 155.5 miles long, and the track was imported from England. At the time of completion, the Florida Railroad was considered to have the best equipment in the state with its two passenger cars accommodating 60 persons each, 2 baggage cars, 14 box cars and 21 flatcars.\n By opening up a vast area for development and by furnishing the long awaited coast to coast shipping route, the completion of the Florida Railroad marked a \"new era\" in the development of the state.  However, for various reasons, many citizens opposed the road. Backwoodsmen claimed that turpentine operations, developed as a result of the railroad, ruined their hog ranges and that the railroad killed their cattle. Farmers' wives claimed that market eggs were broken when carts crossed the tracks.\n Service on the railroad was interrupted and the line was damaged heavily during the Civil War when raiding parties from both sides constantly harassed and destroyed the interior lines of communication within Florida. By the close of the Civil War, railroad property in Florida was damaged to the extent of more than a million dollars, or one-seventh of the total valuation of the entire rail system at the time. Due to the devastation of the war, most of the railroad companies failed to make the required payments to the Internal Improvement Fund, large amounts of interest remained unpaid, and the companies faced bankruptcy. Probably the hardest hit of the various roads was David Yulee's Florida Railroad. Its principal terminals had been destroyed, cross ties and bridges along the line were burned or rotting, a large part of the rail had been removed, and of the rolling stock there remained only five engines, three of which were in no condition for immediate use. There were also nine box cars and two dilapidated coaches. Much of the damage was repaired by Federal troops that occupied Florida.\n During 1866, for failure to pay the accruing interest on its bonds and the required payments to the Internal Improvement Fund, the trustees of that Fund took possession of the franchise, and sold the Florida Railroad Company on October 6th, for $323,400, to Isaac K. Roberts, who was acting as agent for Edward N. Dickerson and associates, bondholders and creditors. Reorganization of the company was completed on November 3rd, 1866. The new management continued the reconstruction of the road and immediately placed orders for two new locomotives to supplement those which had survived the ravages of war.\n The Florida Railroad operated under the Dickerson Administration until January 18, 1872, at which time the name of the company was changed to the Atlantic, Gulf and West India Transit Company.","Portions of collection available online?: No","Originally processed in April 1968.

The proposed route was from Fernandina to Cedar Key. \n Its first officers were Florida's first U.S. Senator David L. Yulee, President; George W. Call, Secretary and Treasurer; and Martin L. Smith, Chief Engineer. The principal office of the company was at Fernandina. The Florida Railroad initially received a federal land grant of 290,183.28 acres and a Florida grant of 505,144.14 acres. To help the railroad pay for itself and to help attract new settlers into the area, the state government authorized the Florida Railroad to sell land along its right-of-way. The Florida Land Improvement Society, made up of principal stockholders in the Florida Railroad, was created for the task. Actual construction began in 1855 and was completed in 1860. The line was 155.5 miles long, and the track was imported from England. At the time of completion, the Florida Railroad was considered to have the best equipment in the state with its two passenger cars accommodating 60 persons each, 2 baggage cars, 14 box cars and 21 flatcars.\n By opening up a vast area for development and by furnishing the long awaited coast to coast shipping route, the completion of the Florida Railroad marked a \"new era\" in the development of the state.  However, for various reasons, many citizens opposed the road. Backwoodsmen claimed that turpentine operations, developed as a result of the railroad, ruined their hog ranges and that the railroad killed their cattle. Farmers' wives claimed that market eggs were broken when carts crossed the tracks.\n Service on the railroad was interrupted and the line was damaged heavily during the Civil War when raiding parties from both sides constantly harassed and destroyed the interior lines of communication within Florida. By the close of the Civil War, railroad property in Florida was damaged to the extent of more than a million dollars, or one-seventh of the total valuation of the entire rail system at the time. Due to the devastation of the war, most of the railroad companies failed to make the required payments to the Internal Improvement Fund, large amounts of interest remained unpaid, and the companies faced bankruptcy. Probably the hardest hit of the various roads was David Yulee's Florida Railroad. Its principal terminals had been destroyed, cross ties and bridges along the line were burned or rotting, a large part of the rail had been removed, and of the rolling stock there remained only five engines, three of which were in no condition for immediate use. There were also nine box cars and two dilapidated coaches. Much of the damage was repaired by Federal troops that occupied Florida.\n During 1866, for failure to pay the accruing interest on its bonds and the required payments to the Internal Improvement Fund, the trustees of that Fund took possession of the franchise, and sold the Florida Railroad Company on October 6th, for $323,400, to Isaac K.

The Center grew out of an effort in Fall of 1953 by the History Department and Social Sciences Committee to collect Southern Business History records and form a center. The committee appointed by the President on February 8, 1954 to form the Center included Norman L. Kilpatrick, Secretary and Maurice M. Vance, Chairman, Frank Allen, Marshall Colberg, James Prothro, and Charles Rovetta. Later members of the committee and participants were Daisy Parker, R.L. Goulding, Robert W. Lovett, Claude A. Campbell, Gertrude P. Meek, and Frank Zitmore. The committee was drawn from the following divisions at F.S.U.: History, Business, Social Sciences, Library, and Political Science.\nThe Center acquired collections that were housed in the Library and processed by Special Collections, including the following: German-American Lumber Company Records; Sydney V. Coxetter Agriculture Collection; Warren Fish Company Records; Faber's Cedar Mill Collection; Monticello Mercantile Store Account Books; Rosasco Family Papers; E.H. Tomlinson Papers; W.H. Lindsey Account Books; Citizens Mutual Insurance Books; the J.L. and G.L. Smith Account Book; and the R.L.
