In "Let's Explore Hollywood" readers explore this magical city built on the motion picture and music industry. When the Motion Picture Patent Company tried to create a monopoly on motion picture cameras in the early nineteen hundreds, a filmmaker named Harvey Wilcox headed west. D.W. Griffith led his film crew entourage to Hollywood because it was too cold and dark in New York City. Cecil B. DeMille, another filmmaker later joined the journey to L.A. because during the shooting of his film, The Squaw Man, the mountains of Arizona became snow covered and interfered with filming and continuity.
