Biography: British-born film executive I.E. Chadwick began his screen career in 1910 as counsel for Exclusive Features and was later appointed American representative for the French Path� Freres. In 1914, he organized Merit and in 1924 the company that would bear his name. Releasing through Educational Pictures, Chadwick Pictures Corp. is today best remembered for a series of comedies starring former Vitagraph comedian Larry Semon, the most notable of which was a bizarre 1925 version of The Wizard of Oz that nearly bankrupted the company. Chadwick was disbanded in 1928 but its founder found a berth with Monogram, where he produced a series of low-budget features that ranged from an inexpensive version of Oliver Twist (1933) to the prison melodrama The Outer Gate (1938). Long in retirement, Chadwick died of a heart attack in his Hollywood home. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
