West's Pictures was a short-lived Australian film production and exhibition company during the silent era. It was established by English theatrical entrepreneur Thomas James West (1885-1916) who helped turn the company into one of Australia's largest exhibitors. The company also produced a regular newsreel and several narrative films, some made by Franklyn Barrett.〔Andrew Pike and Ross Cooper, ''Australian Film 1900–1977: A Guide to Feature Film Production'', Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1998, p 26〕 Many of their early films were contemporary stories made on a joint writer-technician-director basis.〔Graham Shirley and Brian Adams, ''Australian Cinema: The First Eighty Years'', Currency Press 1989 p 39〕 It merged with Australasian Films in 1912, becoming part of the combine that later became the Greater Union organisation. TJ West's film company was often confused in the public mind with that of AJ West's quite separate 'Our Navy' company (incorporated 1902), but there was no connection. ==Select Filmography== *''The Christian'' (1911) *''All for Gold, or Jumping the Claim'' (1911) *''The Strangler's Grip'' (1912) *''The Mystery of the Black Pearl'' (1912) *''The Eleventh Hour'' (1912) *''A Silent Witness'' (1912) 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「West's Pictures」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
