Gem Motion Picture Company was an American silent-era film studio. It was co-founded by filmmaker Stanner E.V. Taylor and his wife, actress Marion Leonard in 1911. After management issues, the company evolved to primarily act as a producer of short comedies starring Billy Quirk.[citation needed ]
Distribution
[edit ]Gem film properties produced by Taylor and Leonard were sold to the Rex Motion Picture Company, which released them in 1912 under their own banner.[1] The company's films were released by Universal in 1913.[2]
