Pathé Exchange, commonly known as Pathé, was an American film production and distribution company, largely of Hollywood's silent era. Known for its groundbreaking newsreel and wide array of shorts, it grew out of the American division of the major French studio Pathé Frères, which began distributing films in the United States in 1904. Ten years later, it produced the enormously succeesful The Perils of Pauline, a twenty-episode serial that came to define the genre. The American operation was incorporated as Pathé Exchange toward the end of 1914 and spun off as an independent entity in 1921; the Merrill Lynch investment firm acquired a controlling stake. The following year, it released Robert J. Flaherty's influential documentary Nanook of the North. For much of the 1920s, Pathé distributed

  • Pathé Exchange, commonly known as Pathé, was an American film production and distribution company, largely of Hollywood's silent era. Known for its groundbreaking newsreel and wide array of shorts, it grew out of the American division of the major French studio Pathé Frères, which began distributing films in the United States in 1904. Ten years later, it produced the enormously succeesful The Perils of Pauline, a twenty-episode serial that came to define the genre. The American operation was incorporated as Pathé Exchange toward the end of 1914 and spun off as an independent entity in 1921; the Merrill Lynch investment firm acquired a controlling stake. The following year, it released Robert J. Flaherty's influential documentary Nanook of the North. For much of the 1920s, Pathé distributed the shorts of comedy pioneers Hal Roach and Mack Sennett and innovative animator Paul Terry. Beginning in 1927, the studio changed hands several times in quick succession: it came under the control of the Keith-Albee-Orpheum theater chain, then financier and Hollywood maestro Joseph P. Kennedy, and finally, in January 1931, RKO Pictures. Its semiautonomous production of features as RKO Pathé ended by late 1932, though RKO released Pathé-branded newsreels and shorts for many years afterward. The Pathé News operation was purchased in 1947 from RKO by Warner Bros., which shut it down in 1956. A few of Pathé's minor assets, including its film lab facilities, were not included in the RKO acquisition and subsequently reorganized, first as the Pathé Film Corporation and ultimately as Pathé Industries. The latter reentered the movie production business for a half-decade in the 1940s with its purchase of Producers Releasing Corporation. (en)
