Mayer of MGM, who wanted a position for his son-in-law, William Goetz, Bank of America and Herbert J. Yates[1] owner of the film processing laboratory Consolidated Film Industries, who later founded Republic Pictures Corporation in 1935.[1][2] The company product was distributed by United Artists (UA), and leased space at Samuel Goldwyn Studios.[3]
