Monogram Pictures Corporation

Monogram Pictures Corporation was an American film studio that produced mostly low-budget films between 1931 and 1953, when the firm completed a transition to the name Allied Artists Pictures Corporation. Monogram was among the smaller studios in the golden age of Hollywood, generally referred to collectively as Poverty Row. Lacking the financial resources to deliver the lavish sets, production values, and star power of the larger studios, Monogram sought to attract its audiences with the promise of action and adventure.


The company's trademark is now owned by Allied Artists International. The original sprawling brick complex which functioned as home to both Monogram and Allied Artists remains at 4376 Sunset Drive, utilized as part of the Church of Scientology Media Center (formerly KCET's television facilities).


History

Monogram was created in the early 1930s from two earlier companies: W. Ray Johnston's Rayart Productions (renamed Raytone when sound pictures came in) and Trem Carr's Sono Art-World Wide Pictures. Both specialized in low-budget features, a policy which continued at Monogram Pictures, with Carr in charge of production. Another independent producer, Paul Malvern, released 16 Lone Star western productions (starring John Wayne) through Monogram.


The backbone of the studio's early days was a father-son partnership: writer/director Robert N. Bradbury and cowboy actor Bob Steele (born Robert A. Bradbury). Bradbury wrote almost all of the early Monogram and Lone Star westerns and directed many of them himself. Monogram offered a selection of film genres, including action melodramas, classics, and mysteries. In its early years, Monogram could seldom afford big-name movie stars and would employ either former silent-film actors who were idle (Herbert Rawlinson, William Collier Sr.) or young featured players (Ray Walker, Wallace Ford, William Cagney, Charles Starrett).


In 1935, Johnston and Carr were wooed by Herbert Yates of Consolidated Film Industries. Yates planned to merge Monogram with several other smaller independent companies to form Republic Pictures. After a brief period under this new venture, Johnston and Carr clashed with Yates and left. Carr moved to Universal Pictures, while Johnston reactivated Monogram in 1937.


Film Series

In 1938, Monogram began a long and profitable policy of making series and hiring familiar players to star in them. Frankie Darro, Hollywood's foremost tough-kid actor of the 1930s, joined Monogram and stayed with the company until 1950. Comedian Mantan Moreland co-starred in many of the Darro films and continued to be a valuable asset to Monogram through 1949. Juvenile actors Marcia Mae Jones and Jackie Moran co-starred in series of homespun romances, and then joined the Frankie Darro series.


Boris Karloff contributed to the Monogram release schedule with his Mr. Wong mysteries. This prompted producer Sam Katzman to engage Bela Lugosi for a follow-up series of Monogram thrillers.


Katzman's street-gang series The East Side Kids was an imitation of the then-popular Dead End Kids features. The first film cast six juveniles who had no connection with the Dead End series, but Katzman signed Dead End Kids Bobby Jordan and Leo Gorcey, and soon added Huntz Hall and Gabriel Dell from the original gang. The East Side Kids series ran from 1940 to 1945. East Side star Gorcey then took the reins himself and transformed the series into The Bowery Boys, which became the longest-running feature-film comedy series in movie history (48 titles over 12 years). During this run, Gorcey became the highest-paid actor in Hollywood on an annual basis.

Monogram continued to experiment with film series with mixed results. Definite box-office hits were Charlie Chan, The Cisco Kid, and Joe Palooka, all proven movie properties abandoned by other studios and revived by Monogram. Less successful were the comic-strip exploits of Snuffy Smith and Sam Katzman's comedy series teaming Billy Gilbert, Shemp Howard, and Maxie Rosenbloom.


Many of Monogram's series were westerns. The studio released sagebrush sagas with Bill Cody, Bob Steele, John Wayne, Tom Keene, Tim McCoy, Tex Ritter, and Jack Randall before hitting on the "trio" format teaming veteran saddle pals. Buck Jones, Tim McCoy, and Raymond Hatton became The Rough Riders; Ray (Crash) Corrigan, John "Dusty" King, and Max Terhune were The Range Busters, and Ken Maynard, Hoot Gibson, and Bob Steele teamed as The Trail Blazers. When Universal Pictures allowed Johnny Mack Brown's contract to lapse, Monogram grabbed him and kept him busy through 1952.


Monogram was also a useful outlet for ambitious movie stars who wanted to produce their own films. Lou Costello, Sidney Toler, Kay Francis, Leo Gorcey, and Arthur Lake all pursued independent production, releasing through Monogram.


Monogram's Stars

The studio was a launching pad for new stars, including Preston Foster in Sensation Hunters, Randolph Scott in Broken Dreams, Ginger Rogers in The Thirteenth Guest, Lionel Atwill in The Sphinx, Alan Ladd in Her First Romance, and Robert Mitchum in When Strangers Marry. Monogram was also a haven for established stars whose careers had stalled, such as Edmund Lowe in Klondike Fury, John Boles in Road to Happiness, Ricardo Cortez in I Killed That Man, Simone Simon in Johnny Doesn't Live Here Anymore, and Kay Francis and Bruce Cabot in Divorce.


Monogram did create and nurture its own stars. Gale Storm began her career at RKO Radio Pictures in 1940 but found a home at Monogram. Storm had been promoted from Monogram's Frankie Darro series and was showcased in crime dramas like The Crime Smasher (1943) opposite Richard Cromwell and radio's Frank Graham in the title role, as well as a string of musicals to capitalize on her singing talents, such as Campus Rhythm and Nearly Eighteen (both 1943), along with Swing Parade of 1946 featuring The Three Stooges. Another of Monogram's finds during this time was British skating star Belita, who initially starred in musical revues and then graduated to dramatic roles, including Suspense (1946), an A-budget King Brothers Productions picture released under the Monogram name. Monogram's final leading-lady discovery was Jane Nigh, who starred in several wholesome outdoor stories between 1950 and 1952, and returned to the studio in 1957 for a Bowery Boys comedy.


In the mid-1940s, Monogram nearly hit the big time with Dillinger, a sensationalized crime drama that achieved runaway success in 1945 and received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay. Although Monogram attempted to follow up with several "exploitation" melodramas, it never ascended to the level of a major studio like Columbia Pictures, which had once been a poverty-row denizen.


The only Monogram release to win an Academy Award was Climbing the Matterhorn, a two-reel adventure that won the "Best Short Subject" Oscar in 1947. Other Monogram films nominated for Oscars included King of the Zombies for Best Music (Music Score of a Dramatic Picture) in 1941 and Flat Top for Best Film Editing in 1952.

Post-World War II, Monogram's fortunes improved. With larger studios cutting back on B-picture production, there was an increased need for low-priced films that theater owners could afford. Major theater chains and small independent theaters alike began regularly using Monogram features.


Monogram continued to create new series. In 1946, The East Side Kids became The Bowery Boys under producer Jan Grippo. Sam Katzman launched a new musical-comedy series called "The Teen Agers" (1946-48) for singer Freddie Stewart. Other series included Cisco Kid westerns (1945-47); the masked crimefighter The Shadow with Kane Richmond (1946); Bringing Up Father comedies (1946-50) featuring Joe Yule and Renie Riano; Joe Palooka prizefight comedies (1946-51); the Roddy McDowall series (1948-52); the Henry series of small-town comedies (1949-51); and Bomba, the Jungle Boy adventures (1949-55) starring Johnny Sheffield.


The Bowery Boys, Charlie Chan, and Monogram's westerns (featuring Johnny Mack Brown, Jimmy Wakely, and Whip Wilson) were major draws. Monogram also filmed some later features in Cinecolor, such as County Fair, Blue Grass of Kentucky, and The Rose Bowl Story, as well as the science-fiction film Flight to Mars (1952).


Creation of Allied Artists Productions

Producer Walter Mirisch began at Monogram post-World War II as an assistant to studio head Steve Broidy. He convinced Broidy that the era of low-budget films was ending, leading Monogram to create a new unit, Allied Artists Productions, in 1946. The new name aimed to evoke images of "creative personnel uniting to produce and distribute quality films," mirroring United Artists.


Allied Artists' first release, It Happened on Fifth Avenue (1947), cost more than $1,200,000 and earned an estimated $1.8 million at the box office. Subsequent releases were more economical and included black-and-white films, as well as those in Cinecolor and Technicolor.


Monogram remained the parent company; Allied Artists productions bore Monogram copyright notices and were released through Monogram's film exchanges. The new division allowed for "B-plus" pictures alongside Monogram's established B fare. By September 1952, Monogram announced it would only produce films under the Allied Artists name, and the Monogram brand was retired in 1953, with the company becoming Allied Artists Pictures Corporation.


Allied Artists retained some Monogram elements, including popular series such as Stanley Clements' action series (through 1953), B-Westerns (through 1954), Bomba, the Jungle Boy adventures (through 1955), and The Bowery Boys (through 1958, with Clements replacing Leo Gorcey in 1956). Allied Artists then pursued new, ambitious directions under Mirisch.


Monogram Enters the Field of TV

Monogram was the first substantial theatrical distributor to offer its recent films to network television in April 1948. Steve Broidy's asking price was $1,000,000 for 200 features, but CBS declined, and the films went to Motion Pictures for Television, a pioneer syndicator established in 1951.


Monogram entered TV syndication cautiously in November 1951, creating Interstate Television Corporation to avoid adverse reactions from movie-theater customers. Ralph Branton, a former exhibitor, was named president. Interstate's major success was the Little Rascals series, previously reissued for theaters by Monogram. Interstate TV later became Allied Artists Television. Allied Artists' television library was sold to Lorimar's TV production and distribution arms in 1979, and today, Warner Bros. Pictures controls the library via their acquisition of Lorimar in 1989.


Allied Artists' Major Productions

In the mid-1950s, the Mirisch family exerted significant influence at Allied Artists, with Walter as executive producer, Harold as head of sales, and Marvin as assistant treasurer. They pushed the studio into big-budget filmmaking, signing contracts with William Wyler, John Huston, Billy Wilder, and Gary Cooper. However, when their initial big-name productions, such as Wyler's Friendly Persuasion and Wilder's Love in the Afternoon, flopped in 1956-57, studio head Broidy reverted to the low-budget action and thriller films Monogram had previously been known for, like Don Siegel's Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956).


Allied Artists and The Mirisch Company released some late-1950s films through United Artists. Roger Corman made several successful films for Allied Artists. The studio saw renewed success with Al Capone (1959), prompting investment in bigger-budget films like El Cid, Billy Budd, The George Raft Story, and Hitler. However, overall production cutbacks occurred, with the studio releasing 35 films in 1958 and only 12 in 1960, largely due to stopping Westerns.


Post-Broidy

Steve Broidy retired in 1965. Allied Artists ceased production in 1966, focusing on distributing foreign films, but restarted with Cabaret (1972) and Papillon (1973). Despite critical and commercial success, high production costs prevented significant profitability. Allied raised financing for The Man Who Would Be King (1975) through European distribution rights sold to Columbia Pictures and Canadian tax shelters. King (1975) received disappointing returns. That year, Allied distributed Story of O but spent much of its earnings defending itself from obscenity charges.


In 1976, Allied Artists diversified by merging with consumer producers Kalvex and PSP, Inc., creating Allied Artists Industries, Inc., which manufactured pharmaceuticals, mobile homes, and activewear alongside films.


Demise

Monogram/Allied Artists continued until 1979, when runaway inflation and high production costs led to bankruptcy.


Film Library Fate

The post-August 1946 Monogram/Allied Artists library was purchased by television production company Lorimar in 1980 for $4.75 million. Today, Warner Bros. Pictures, via their acquisition of Lorimar in 1989, controls most of this library. The pre-August 1946 Monogram library was sold in 1954 to Associated Artists Productions, which merged with United Artists in 1958 and eventually with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1981. The pre-1946 Monogram library was not part of the deal with Ted Turner. Many later films' rights are now owned by MGM via United Artists, while others, such as The Big Combo, lapsed into the public domain. A selection of post-1938 Monogram films acquired by M&A Alexander Productions and Astor Pictures were later incorporated into Melange Pictures' library, now part of Paramount Global-owned Paramount Pictures. Most Monogram films released before 1942 are in the public domain.


Jean-Luc Godard dedicated his film Breathless (1960) to Monogram.


Studios

Monogram/Allied Artists' studio was located at 4401 W. Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, on a 4.5-acre lot. The site, the longtime home of former PBS television station KCET, was sold to the Church of Scientology in April 2011.


Monogram Ranch was a movie ranch in Placerita Canyon near Newhall, California. Tom Mix used Placeritos Ranch for location shooting for his silent westerns. Ernie Hickson, who acquired the ranch in 1936, reconstructed frontier western town sets and leased the property to Monogram in 1937. The ranch was renamed Monogram Ranch. Gene Autry purchased the property from Hickson's heirs in 1953, renaming it Melody Ranch. As of 2010, it operated as Melody Ranch Motion Picture Studio and Melody Ranch Studios. The site included a movie memorabilia museum open to visitors. After fire damage, the sets were replaced; as of 2012, the studio had 74 buildings, including offices and two sound stages. The owners in 2019 were Renaud and Andre Veluzat, and recent movies filmed there include Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.


List of Monogram Pictures and Allied Artists Pictures Films

This is a list of feature films originally released and/or distributed by Monogram Pictures and Allied Artists Pictures Corporation. Monogram/Allied Artists' post-August 1946 library is currently owned by Warner Bros. (via Lorimar Motion Pictures), while 187 pre-August 1946 Monogram films are owned by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (via United Artists), and select post-1938 Monogram films are owned by Paramount Pictures (via Melange Pictures).


Monogram was established in 1931, focusing on low-budget releases. In 1935, it merged into the conglomerate formed by Herbert Yates as Republic Pictures, but was re-established as an independent studio in 1937. In 1947, a separate subsidiary, Allied Artists, was created to release some higher-budget films than those traditionally associated with the company. By 1953, the Monogram brand was dropped completely, and Allied Artists continued until 1978, focusing in its later years primarily on distributing films produced by other companies, often in Europe.
