The company product was distributed theatrically under United Artists (UA), and leased space at Samuel Goldwyn Studios.

Raoul Walsh, Gregory La Cava, Sidney Lanfield and Walter Lang were signed as directors.

[8] Financial backing came from Schenck's younger brother Nicholas Schenck, president of Loew's, the theater chain that owned Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), Louis B. Mayer of MGM, who wanted a position for his son-in-law, Goetz, Bank of America and Herbert J. Yates[9] owner of the film processing laboratory Consolidated Film Industries, who later founded Republic Pictures Corporation in 1935.

[9][10] In addition to Chuck Connors, early stories purchased were Rowland Brown's Blood Money, Ralph Graves' Born to Be Bad and Nathanael West's Miss Lonelyhearts (released as Advice to the Lovelorn).

Schenck, who had been a UA stockholder for over ten years, resigned from United Artists in protest of the shoddy treatment of Twentieth Century, and Zanuck; thus began discussions with other distributors, which led to talks with the bankrupt Fox Studios of the Fox Film Corporation in the early spring of 1935.
