'''Dramatic Feature Films''' was an unsuccessful [[silent film]] venture by [[Frank Joslyn Baum]], son of [[L. Frank Baum]]. The office was at 300 West 42nd Street in [[New York City]] (the building that currently houses the Times Square [[McDonald's]] in its first floors), while the films were made in the [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]] studios of [[The Oz Film Manufacturing Company]], which was the company's former identity. It was absorbed by [[Goldwyn Pictures]] in 1916.<br />
<br />
Two films are known to have been produced by the company, neither of which survive. These include a [[slapstick]] short titled '''''Pies and Poetry''''' starring [[Betty Pierce]]. Pierce, along with [[Catherine Countiss]] and [[David Proctor (actor)|David Proctor]] starred in ''[[The Gray Nun of Belgium]]''. The film was directed by [[Francis Powers (actor)|Francis Powers]] from a script by Baum (some sources say the elder) and set during [[World War I]]. Advertisements in the trade papers gave the film a release date of April 26, 1915; however, it is now believed that the film was never released. The [[film distributor|distributor]], [[Alliance Film Program]], apparently found the film inferior and refused to buy it.<br />
