Background

W.H. Productions Company was an American film distribution company established to re-release older films from New York Motion Picture Corporation, The Keystone Film Company, and Triangle Film Corporation on the State Rights market. Starting in 1919, the company expanded its operations to distribute new films produced by Burston Films, Incorporated, Charles Richman Company, MacManus Corporation, and other companies.

It is thought that the company re-released and retitled films without permission, as noted by director William S. Hart.[1]
