The original owner of this fabulous custom made Springfield Rolls Royce Phantom I Trouville was Joseph M. Schenck, legendary Hollywood Film producer. He was the first president of United Artists Studio Corporation which he started along with Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks Sr., and Mary Pickford. Later is his career he was one of the four founding members and President of 20th Century Fox Studios. His role in the development of the Hollywood film industry was truly remarkable.

One of seven children, Joseph M. Schenck was born to a Jewish household in Rybinsk, a Volga River town in Tsarist Russia. He and his family, including his younger brother Nicholas Schenck, emigrated to the United States in 1893, whereupon they settled in a tenement on New Yorks lower East Side. Subsequently, they relocated to Harlem, the population of which at that time consisted primarily of Jewish and Italian immigrants. Upon their arrival in the United States, Joe and Nick, as they came to be known, worked as a team selling newspapers on the city streets and later in a drugstore. Within two years time, they had saved up enough money to buy out the drugstores owner and to begin looking for other business ventures.

One summer day, the Schencks took a trolley ride to Fort George, in uptown Manhattan, There they noticed that thousands of people were milling around idly waiting for the return trains. The brothers rented a beer concession and also provided some vaudeville entertainment. It was at this time that the Schencks made the acquaintance of Marcus Loew, a theater operator. Loew, having noted the brothers success, advanced them capital, permitting them to establish an amusement park in New Jersey.

Soon, Joseph Schenck and his brother Nicholaus were working with Marcus Loew in the theater business. Between approximately 1907 and 1919, they reinvested in real estate for nickelodeons, vaudeville, and eventually motion pictures. In 1919, Loew acquired a movie studio. By this time, Nicholas Schenck was spending more time with Loews, Inc., so it was Joseph who relocated to Hollywood, eventually becoming president of United Artists Corporation. From this time forward, the Schenck brothers were known to run Hollywood and Americas early film industry. Interestingly, in the 2016 film, Hail, Caesar! by the Coen brothers, the character Eddie Mannix who portrayed Louis B. Mayer reports to Nick Schenck several times via telephoneandhellip;the impact of the Schenck brothers on the development of Hollywood will never be forgotten.

Joe Schenck was a larger than life presence in the Hollywood film industry and regularly enjoyed socializing and entertaining others involved in the industry.

One can only wonder how many times Mr. Schenck may of had his chauffeur drive his Rolls Royce to transport movies stars, starlets and
