Tiffany Pictures (known for a period as Tiffany-Stahl Productions) was a Hollywood motion picture studio in operation from 1921〔Crafton, Donald ''The Talkies-American Cinema's Transition to Sound 1926-1931〕 until 1932. ==History== Tiffany Productions was a movie-making venture founded in 1921 by star Mae Murray, her then-husband, director Robert Z. Leonard, and Maurice H. Hoffman, who made eight films, all released through Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Murray and Leonard divorced in 1925 and almost simultaneously the downward spiral of Tiffany began. Starting in 1925 with ''Souls for Sables'', co-starring Claire Windsor and Eugene O'Brien, Tiffany released 70 features, both silent and sound, twenty of which were Westerns.〔Fernett, Gene ''Hollywood's Poverty Row 1930-1950'' p.31 1973 Coral Reef Publications〕 At one point, Tiffany was booking its films into nearly 2,500 theatres.〔p.215 Crafton, Donald ''The Talkies: American Cinema's Transition to Sound 1926-1931'' University of California Press (1997)〕 To produce their films, Tiffany acquired the former Reliance-Majestic Studios lot at 4516 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles in 1927. From 1927 to 1930, John M. Stahl was the director of Tiffany and renamed the company Tiffany-Stahl Productions. Head of Tiffany was Phil Goldstone with his vice president Maurice H. Hoffman,〔Maas, Frederica Sagor ''The Shocking Miss Pilgrim: A Writer in Early Hollywood'' University Press of Kentucky, 1999〕 who later was president of Liberty Films that merged into Republic Pictures. Leonard A. Young who simultaneously ran the L. A. Young Spring and Wire Company bought into Tiffany from Hoffman in 1929.〔''Interregnum in Hollywood'', ''Time'' 15 Feb 1932〕 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「Tiffany Pictures」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
