| - California Motion Picture Corporation was a film company based in San Rafael, California, in Marin County during the silent film era. The company lasted from 1914 until January 1916 when it went bankrupt. It was subsequently renamed and lasted until 1920. It produced at least 15 films. The film company is known for its feature-length films about early California history. The Marin Library has a digital collection related to the studio. Their productions included Salomy Jane (1914), Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch (1914), Mignon (1915), and Who's Your Servant? (1920). Frank Erlanger was one of the actors who worked for the studio. Salomy Jane survives in its entirety. George E. Middleton was a director with the studio and Beatriz Michelena a leading actress. Harold Entwistle and William Nigh also directed films for the company. An announcement of the company's incorporation gives a San Francisco main office address at 356 Pune Street and lists the board of directors as: James Woods, manager of the St. Francis Hotel; Baldwin Wood, attorney; Charles Payne, President Payne Real Estate Company; Thomas B. Eastland, President Coast Realty Co.; A. M. Johnson, Attorney; and Robin Y. Hayne, Capitalist as well as officer from a steamship company and Pacific Telephonen and Telegraph. It was billed as the largest film company in the west. (en)
- La California Motion Picture Corporation fu una casa di produzione e di distribuzione californiana, uno studio indipendente che aveva la sua sede a San Francisco con gli studi nella Contea di Marin molto prima che l'industria cinematografica statunitense si concentrasse a Hollywood. George Middleton, un finanziere le cui fortune provenivano dall'industria ferroviaria e automobilistica, fu produttore esecutivo della compagnia. Uno dei suoi film, Salomy Jane, lanciò la carriera cinematografica di Beatriz Michelena, un'attrice che aveva cominciato come soprano e che viene ricordata come una delle prime star del cinema latino-americano dell'epoca. Middleton e Michelena si erano sposati nel 1907 e l'attrice partecipò attivamente alla produzione dei suoi film. Dopo una disputa che la coppia ebbe con la proprietà dello studio per compensi arretrati, Beatriz Michelena diventò produttore esecutivo e co-proprietaria della compagnia quando la società passò sotto il controllo suo e quello del marito.
