Joseph P. Bickerton, Jr.
Joseph Ponsford Bickerton, Jr. (15 July 1878 – 20 August 1936) was an attorney and theatrical producer.
==Early Years and Education==
Joseph P. Bickerton, Jr. was the son of Joseph Ponsford Bickerton, a salesman, and Emma P. Jaques. Joseph Junior studied at Princeton University, but had to leave for financial reasons during his freshman year. He became a lawyer after working in law offices without having attended law school.〔J. P. Bickerton Dies; Lawyer, Stage Producer: Never Went to Law School. New York Herald Tribune. August 21, 1936〕
Bickerton managed the career of actor Charley Grapewin, on tour with a play called "Above the Limit.” The play
closed, leaving Bickerton with a full set of scenery on his hands. He thereupon sat down and wrote a play to fit the scenery, entitled "The House on the Bluff,” which was profitable. With the proceeds, he organized the Jungle Film Corporation in 1910 and bought the African hunt motion pictures which Paul J. Rainey, a wealthy explorer, had made during a pleasure expedition. These films were the first motion pictures to be produced at regular theater prices and were successful in the U.S. and abroad.〔Meet JP Bickerton, Jr. New York Times. September 11, 1932〕
