Trem Carr (1891–1946) was an American film producer, closely associated with the low-budget filmmaking of Poverty Row. In 1931 he co-founded Monogram Pictures, which developed into one of the leading specialist producers of B pictures in Hollywood.[1] In 1935 the company was merged into the newly-created Republic Pictures, but a year later Carr broke away and reestablished Monogram as an independent company. Following his death in 1946, Monogram was changed its name to Allied Artists and produced films made on higher budgets.
