Background
Chesterfield Pictures Corporation was associated with Chesterfield Productions (which distributed all their films). In 1935, Chesterfield merged with five other Poverty Row studios (Mascot Pictures, Liberty Pictures, Invincible Pictures, Monogram Pictures, and Majestic Pictures) to form "Republic Pictures Corporation" (later known as "Republic Entertainment, Inc.").
