The company produced its first film, Ex-Flame, loosely based on the Victorian novel East Lynne, in 1930. In 1935 the company was taken over by the larger Republic Pictures.^[1] When absorbing the company, Republic adopted the symbolic motif of Liberty Pictures - the Liberty Bell ringing in Philadelphia. This merger constituted an attempt by Herbert Yates to rationalize Poverty Row and create a ninth^{[clarification needed]} major studio.
