== Biography ==
James Anthony Fitzpatrick was born in Shelton, Connecticut. After completing training in dramatic arts, he worked, for a while, as a journalist. In 1916, he entered in films by starting the Juvenile Film Company in Cleveland, producing comedy shorts featuring children and anticipating by years similar series such as Our Gang and The Little Rascals.〔Anthony Slide, "Juvenile Film Company" in The New Historical Dictionary of the American Film Industry, The Scarecrow Press, Inc., Lanham, MD and London, 2001.〕 However, the series was not a success; by 1921, FitzPatrick was working as a writer/director in Charles Urban's American Kineto concern, making a series titled "Great American Authors" which featured profiles of famous American writers. Kineto folded, however, in 1924, and in 1925 FitzPatrick established his own company and undertook two concurrent series, "Famous Music Masters"—fictionalized shorts about the lives of famous composers—and "Songs of." These were distributed worldwide, and some were later synchronized to sound.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NitrateVille.com • View topic - Famous Music Master Series )〕

From 1934's "Holland in Tulip Time," the TravelTalks were shot in Technicolor, making this series one of the first regular vehicles for color film in the American film industry. After FitzPatrick and MGM parted company in 1954, he went to Paramount, producing a similar "Vistavision Visits" series for about another year before retiring. He died at the age of 86 in Cathedral City, California.
