Educational Pictures (or Educational Film Exchanges, Inc. or Educational Films Corporation of America) was a film distribution company founded in 1916 by Earle (E. W.) Hammons (1882–1962). Educational primarily distributed short subjects, and today is probably best known for its series of 1930s comedies starring Buster Keaton, as well as for a series of one-reel comedies featuring the earliest screen appearances of Shirley Temple. The studio also distributed short comedies starring Lloyd Hamilton, who employed the blacklisted Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle as a writer-director under the pseudonym William Goodrich.
