# Quote 1 [about John Bunny and Flora Finch , who made many films for him at Vitagraph as a comedy team and who many filmgoers mistakenly believed were husband and wife] They cordially hated each other. 2 [in 1919, about the early days of the motion picture industry] It was the struggle in the early days of the industry that taught me the value of studying the public wants and cooperating with the exhibitor.
# Fact 1 In 1915 was a founding partner of V-L-S-E, a film distribution company. 2 Traveled to South Africa to shoot scenes of real battles of the Second Boer War, 1899. 3 In his autobiography, "Two Reels and a Crank" (1952), he claimed to have secured a close-up view of President William McKinley at the moment he was shot by assassin Leon Czolgosz on 6 September, 1901. He claimed, by the time of that writing, that the original strip of film had deteriorated to only a few frames. 4 Brother of W. Steve Smith Jr. . 5 He had a reputation as a brusque, no-nonsense businessman, never letting sentiment or emotion get in the way of a deal. On at least one occasion, though, that backfired on him. In 1916, as the head of Vitagraph Studios, he was about to sign Mary Pickford to a $10,000-a-week contract. Pickford, who adored children, asked if she could see Smith's new baby. Smith curtly replied, "Let's get this business off our minds first." Pickford, outraged at his putting business matters ahead of his own child, answered, "Well, then, I'll never see it!" and stormed out without signing the contract. Shortly afterwards she signed with Famous Players-Lasky, and was on her way to superstardom. 6 Brother of David Smith . 7 Before he entered the film business, he fought in the British army in the Boer War in South Africa and was with Theodore Roosevelt 's Rough Riders at the Battle of San Juan Hill in the Spanish-American War of 1898. 8 With J. Stuart Blackton and William T. Rock , formed pioneering production company Vitagraph Company of America. 9 He is buried in Forest Lawn cemetery.
