- He took over the function of a distributor but he also produced first own movies from 1915 like "Die verschleierte Dame" ( 1915) and "Doktor Palmore - Der schleichende Tod" (1918).
- The producer Lothar Stark began his professional career as a journalist before he became interested in the new medium "film".
- When he was not able to gain a foothold in the British film business he returned to Copenhagen. But soon he had to flee again when the Germans invaded Denmark.
