This study provides a meticulous account of the reception and
regulation of cinema in the United States during a decade of
upheaval, transition, and industrial consolidation that affected
all aspects of film culture. Written in close dialogue with
contemporary journalism, the volume focuses on Los Angeles film
culture from 1905 to 1915. The study discusses exhibition
practices, regulatory efforts and reforms, the critical role of
women in all areas of film culture, and the burgeoning movement of
film journalism that pivoted around the feature format and serial
films. Jan Olsson makes an important contribution to both film
history and urban studies on the Progressive Era as it took place
within a multiethnic city predicated on Midwestern
sensibilities.
