Early Universal City (Images of America) (Images of America (Arcadia Publishing)) ReviewThis was a very interesting book depicting Universal City from its inception through the silent film era. Wonderfully illustrated, with lots of great stories about the actors, directors, film studios, sets, location, and the filming process from the very beginning of the motion picture industry. Having been born and raised in southern califormia, and I really enjoyed the photograghs of the Hollywood/Burbank area when it was wide open country. If you are interested in the silent film era and early film studios, you will love this book!Early Universal City (Images of America) (Images of America (Arcadia Publishing)) OverviewKnown as much today for its theme park, Universal City is also the largest and the longest continuously operating movie studio in Â"Hollywood.Â" The Universal Film Manufacturing Company was formed by a dozen independent producers in 1912, and Universal City was designed to provide a single facility in which to make their films. Since its official opening on March 15, 1915, Universal City has served as a training ground for great directors such as John Ford, William Wyler, and James Whale and as home to stars like Hoot Gibson, Deanna Durbin, Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney Sr. and Jr., and Tom Mix. This evocative volume explores the studio that brought The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923), The Phantom of the Opera (1925), All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), Dracula (1930), Frankenstein (1931), and 100 Men and a Girl (1936) to the screen.
