M. H. Hoffman

Born in Chicago on March 20, 1881, Hoffman earned a Bachelor of Law degree in 1900 from New York University.

[6] Tiffany-Stahl booked its films into nearly 2,500 theaters but was hurt by the lack of a profitable distribution network.

At Allied, Hoffman signed Ginger Rogers, Lila Lee and Hoot Gibson and used the profits from their films to back literary adaptations that he wanted to make, including "Vanity Fair (1932)" and "Unholy Love (1932).

[11] Comparable to the Motion Pictures Producers Association, the organization dealt primarily with production and union problems.

Hoffman reopened Liberty Pictures and produced thirteen movies, mostly literary adaptions of short stories and popular novels.

Hoffman left Republic shortly after that and produced three more films at Grand National before retiring in 1938.
