The movie mogul Louis B. Mayer emigrated as a child with his parents from Russia. He began his road to success when he purchased a house, refurbished it as a nickelodeon, and opened one of the earliest customdesigned cinemas. He established theaters throughout New England, which led him to Metro Films and the formation of MetroGoldwynMayer in 1924. On this day we remember Louis B. Mayer's birthday.
