                   Colonial Motion Picture Corporation was a fraudulent American company formed to sell worthless stock shares. James D. Law was sued by investors for mismanagement of corporate funds. The corporation either never released a film or only completed The Seats of the Mighty (1914), which was to be released by World Film Manufacturing Company.
