Zusammenfassung

Explores how Hollywood, an industry based on world-building, was the product of photography, painting, and tourist promotion in the land of sunshine. A more complete story of the American film industry’s ascendency in Los Angeles emerges when one considers how the City of Angels cultivated its self-image through pre-cinema narrative art.
