Biography edit

Carr was born in Trenton, Illinois, and attended the University of Illinois. He worked for a construction firm in St. Louis.[2] He moved into the film industry, making a series of short comic features with Al St. John. He and W. Ray Johnston formed Rayart Productions, and Carr worked for him for seven years as vice president.[3] From 1925 to 1930, he was vice president in charge of Syndicate Pictures. From 1928 to 1929, his Trem Carr Productions made 15 films.[4]

In 1931, he helped form Monogram Pictures, becoming vice president in charge of production. (W. Ray Johnston was president.)[5] In 1934, he was elected president of the Independent Motion Pictures Producers Association. In April 1935, Carr and Johnston reorganised Monogram as Republic Pictures.[6] Carr became vice president of Republic Pictures. Carr eventually sold out his interests and produced a series of movies at Universal. Most of his films were "outdoor action pictures."[7] In 1938, he rejoined the board of Monogram.[8]

In 1940, he rejoined Monogram and stayed there until his death. He died of a heart attack while on holiday at the US Grant Hotel in San Diego. He was survived by a wife and a daughter.[2] On Carr's death, Steve Broidy took over as executive in charge of production at Monogram.[9]
