Mascot Pictures Corporation was an American minor film company of the 1920s and 1930s best known for producing film serials and B-westerns. Mascot's serial ''The King of the Kongo'' (1929) was the first serial to include sound, beating Universal Studios by several months. Mascot was formed in 1927 by film producer Nat Levine. In 1935 it merged with several other companies to form Republic Pictures. The company's logo featured a roaring tiger resting on top of a model of the planet Earth. ==Early years== Mascot was created by Nat Levine, a former personal secretary to Marcus Loew, in 1927 after the success of his independent serial ''The Silent Flyer'' (1926). In the beginning the company operated out of the upstairs offices of a contractor's business on Santa Monica Boulevard. It rented all of its equipment and facilities. In 1929 the studio made serial history with the production of ''The King of the Kongo''. This was the first serial, from any production company, to be made with sound. Mascot's first all-talking production was ''The Phantom of the West'' (1931) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mascot Pictures」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
