Catalogue Note
Sol Lesser, an independent film producer in the silent movie era in Hollywood parlayed his adeptness at movie-making into the founding of a chain of theaters in California in the 1920s. Missing the creative rewards of producing, he returned to the film business and produced many cinema successes; the most recognizable being the series of “Tarzan” movies.
