Sterling Pictures was a film company headed by Henry Ginsberg during the silent film era.[1] Phil Rosen directed many of Sterling's films. H. R. Ebenstein was the manager of sales.[2] In July 1927, when the studio got rid of their foreign broker system and implemented their own foreign sales, Briskin was put in charge,[3] becoming head of their foreign department.[4] In August 1928, Briskin was named vice president of Sterling and given control over all of the company's operations.[5] Arthur F. Beck was the company's president.[6] He married actress and screenwriter Leah Baird.
