The Thanhouser Company (later the Thanhouser Film Corporation) was a motion picture studio founded in New Rochelle, New York in 1909 by Edwin Thanhouser. In 1912 Thanhouser sold the company to the Mutual Film Corporation , after which Charles J. Hite took on overseeing day-to-day operations and Thanhouser's family toured Europe. Hite died in a car accident in 1914 and Thanhouser, having fled the outbreak of World War I, resumed his duties as a now-salaried studio head in 1915.
The Thanhouser Corporation, in excellent financial condition despite an industry-wide depression, leased its studio space to the Clara Kimball Young Film Corporation and ceased operations in 1917.
