An ovation that rivalled the most extravagant concepts of a motion picture version, was accorded to Adolph Zukor, head of the Paramount Film Co., on his return to his native village, Riccse, yesterday. An arch, erected especially in his honor by the residents of the town, was only one indication of the town, was only one indication of the admiration the inhabitants of Riccse felt for their most famous citizen and incidentally generous contributor. A shower of flowers followed the automobile in which Mr. and Mrs. Zukor were riding as it passed the arch on their way to the one-story cottage in which they formerly lived.
Most of the celebrations in honor of the Zukors were held in the synagogue, where the Jewish and non-Jewish inhabitants of the town participated. Mr. Zukor has not only contributed substantially to Jewish interests but has also been equally as generous to the Christian church and undertakings of the town.
