Junius Myer Schine (February 20, 1890[1] – May 9, 1971) was a New York theater and hotel magnate[2][3] whose holdings comprised 185 movie theaters,[4] notably, Glove Theatre, and Schines Auburn Theatre, and several hotels, including Ambassador Hotel.

In 1902, as an eleven-year-old, he, his brother Louis Schine (1892–1977), age nine, and their mother, Anne, emigrated from what is now Latvia to join their father in Gloversville, New York.

In 1957, Junius chose his son David, a central figure in the Army-McCarthy Hearings of 1954, to head Schine Enterprises, but in 1963, Junius resumed his position as head of the company.

[citation needed] In 1965, Schine's holdings were bought by Lawrence Wien and Harry B.

[10] In 1965, Schine received Patent GB1002524 for a golf training apparatus that evaluated whether a stroke was a slice or a hook and calculated the distance the golf ball would have gone.
