Arthur Hotaling — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Arthur D. Hotaling [Arthur Hotaling] is chief comedy producer for the Lubin company, but those who are aware of his twenty years in the employ of Mr. Lubin know him to be expert in all branches of motion picture manufacture.

Years ago, under his management, at San Souci Park, Chicago, Mr. Lubin opened a picture theater, said to be the first in this country. Later, Hotaling had charge of the Lubin exhibit at the Pan-American exposition.

Today he is managing director of the studio at Jacksonville, Florida, with four producers under his supervision, and a company of forty-five players.

For a long time it was not known that Hotaling wrote all his own productions, or rather, in many cases, produced his story without script or notes. Now he directs exclusively and assumes entire control of the business of his studio. He has no fads or avocations.
