Editing Max Fleischer (section)

===First venture===

The [[Pathé Exchange|Pathé Film exchange]] offered Max his first opportunity as a producer due in part to the fact that Dave had been working there as a film cutter since 1914. Max chose a political satire of a hunting trip by [[Theodore Roosevelt]]. After several months of labor, the film was rejected, and Max was making the rounds again when he was reunited with John R. Bray at [[Paramount Pictures]]. Bray had a distribution contract with Paramount at the time and hired Max as production supervisor for his studio. With the outbreak of [[World War I]], Max was sent to [[Fort Sill]], Oklahoma to produce the first Army training films on subjects that included ''Contour Map Reading'', ''Operating the Stokes Mortar'', ''Firing the Lewis Machine Gun'', and ''Submarine Mine Laying''. Following the [[Armistice]], Fleischer returned to Bray and the production of theatrical and educational films.
