Encyclopedia > Thanhouser Company

The Thanhouser Company (later the Thanhouser Film Corporation) was a motion picture studio founded in New Rochelle, New York in 1909 by Edwin Thanhouser. In 1912 Thanhouser sold the company to the Mutual Film Corporation, after which Charles J. Hite took on overseeing day-to-day operations and Thanhouser's family toured Europe. Hite died in a car accident in 1914 and Thanhouser, having fled the outbreak of World War I, resumed his duties as a now-salaried studio head in 1915.


The Thanhouser Corporation, in excellent financial condition despite an industry-wide depression, leased its studio space to the Clara Kimball Young Film Corporation and ceased operations in 1917.
