Edward Small
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edward Small (February 1, 1891 - January 25, 1977) was a film producer from the late 1920s through 1970. Small began his career as a talent agent in New York City. In 1917, he moved his agency to Los Angeles, California. Small began producing films in the 1920s, when it became his full-time occupation.
Small produced a number of pictures, scaled-down, economically produced films, including The Count of Monte Cristo (1934), The Man in the Iron Mask (1939) and Brewster's Millions (1945). His most frequent director was Allan Dwan. The years following World War II, the quality of Small's films declined, with some notable exceptions like 1948s Raw Deal, but he continued to work until 1970. Small later served as chairman of the board of the TV distribution company Television Programs of America. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his television work located at 1501 Vine Street.
