What is the history of the American Motion Picture Company?

I found an old photo in my family's albums. It was taken, I would guess, sometime between 1910 and 1925. The photo is of several Hollywood executives, one being my great-grandfather. And in the bottom right corner is has "American Motion Picture Company" written on it.

I can find no information about the company. I would appreciate some info.What is the history of the American Motion Picture Company?Here is one obscure reference: http://www.bcdb.com/cartoons/Other_Studi鈥?/a>
