Nils T. Granlund (September 29, 1890–April 21, 1957) was a Swedish American Broadway show producer, radio industry pioneer, a publicist for Marcus Loew who formed Loews Theatres and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM). Although his name was actually Nils Theodore Granlund, he later used Thor as a middle name, and after appearing on early radio was commonly referenced only by his initials, N.T.G., on the air and in print. His father was Teodor Granlund, b. 1857 in Fridlevstad in the province of Blekinge and his mother Amanda née Bylund 1858 in Tingsås, province of Småland. (Source: Swedish Census of 1890) ==Early life== Granlund was born in Sweden in 1889 in Ljuder in the province of Småland in the country's south. He immigrated with his family to the United States in 1898, settling in Providence, Rhode Island.〔12th Census of the US; Providence RI, ED 46, Sheet 13〕〔Billboard, Jan 10, 1942〕 While still in his teen years he began covering the yachting news for the ''Providence Tribune,'' where he later become Sports Editor, and covered the local entertainment news. By his 18th year he had been an automobile race driver, aviator and press agent. His promotional efforts for a local theater caught the attention of Marcus Loew who hired Granlund in 1913 as a publicity agent for ''Hanky Panky,'' a recently acquired touring vaudeville show.
