SSEMBLED under the banner of Producers Distributing Corporation are producing organizations, embracing studios and units equipped with every modern facility for the production of high class motion pictures.

While the independent functioning in this assembly of great producers makes for the highest developent of each individual unit, yet each finds the fulfillment of his aims through the medium of Producers Distributing Corporation, which because of its unique position, unhampered by personal interest in any production, insures the rendering of impartial service to producer and exhibitor alike.
AL CHRISTIE.
In the realm of comedy, A1 Christie’s genius predominates. He has been called the king of comedy and he holds undisputed sway. Current productions on the program of Producers Distributing Corporation are “HOLD YOUR BREATH” and “RECKLESS ROMANCE.” Coming releases are “STOP FLIRTING,” and the sensational laugh special, “CHARLEY’S AUNT,” with Syd Chaplin.
A.H. SEBASTIAN
A keen and almost uncanny knowledge of what the public likes and how to get it for them characterizes A. H. Sebastian, who made a sensational bid for fame with the screen version of Aaron Hoffman’s great stage success, “WELCOME STRANGER.” Mr. Sebastian has given a vivid demonstration of his unusual ability in his acquisition of Weber and Fields to play the feature roles in “FRIENDLY ENEMIES.”
RENAUD HOFFMAN
The manner in which Renaud Hoffman presents his unusual stories on the screen is reminiscent of the simplicity and pathos of Robert Burns, the vigor of Richard Harding Davis and the subtle psychology of Guy de Maupassant. Current productions are “NOT ONE TO SPARE” and “THE LEGEND OF HOLLYWOOD.” For the spring season “ON THE THRESHOLD” and “CROSSED WORDS.”
FRANK WOODS
Frank Wood’s knowledge of screen technique, combined with his marked ability to define and express human emotions, makes him a dominant factor in the production of real box-office attractions. Current releases are “CHALK MARKS,” a heart-tugging drama, and “LET WOMEN ALONE,” with Pat O’Malley and Wanda Hawley. Coming, “BEAUTY AND THE BAD MAN,” by Peter B. Kyne.
