Yorke Film Corporation was a film company. The company's films were distributed by Metro Pictures. Fred J. Balshofer and Joseph Engel were involved with the company.[1] Balshofer formed the company to produce films pairing the popular Harold Lockwood and May Allison. Lockwood died of influenza in 1918.[2] The company relocated to Los Angeles and took over a studio from Nevada Film Company.[3]
A photograph of Lockwood with two child actors was taken during production of Big Tremaine.[4]
On December 2, 1916, May Allison was featured on the cover of Motography while she was part of Yorke Film Company.
