  • History[Edit] in 1853, One Adobe Hut Stood in Nopalera (Nopal Field), Named for the Mexican Nopal Cactus Indigenous to the Area
    Hollywood /ˈhɒliwʊd/ is a district in the central region of Los Angeles, California, in the United States. It is notable for its place as the home of the entertainment industry, including several of its historic studios. Its name has come to be a metonym for the motion picture industry of the United States. Hollywood is also a highly ethnically diverse, densely populated, economically diverse neighborhood and retail business district. Hollywood was a small community in 1870 and was incorporated as a municipality in 1903.[1][2] It officially merged with the city of Los Angeles in 1910, and soon thereafter a prominent film industry began to emerge, eventually becoming the most dominant and recognized in the world.[3][4] Contents [hide] 1 History o 1.1 Incorporation and merger o 1.2 Motion picture industry o 1.3 Development o 1.4 Revitalization 2 Geography 3 Adjacent neighborhoods 4 Population 5 Radio and television 6 Secession movement 7 Government o 7.1 Police service o 7.2 Fire services o 7.3 Health o 7.4 Post office o 7.5 Neighborhood councils 8 Education o 8.1 Schools o 8.2 Public libraries 9 Notable places o 9.1 Within Hollywood o 9.2 Nearby 10 Special events 11 See also 12 References 13 External links History[edit] In 1853, one adobe hut stood in Nopalera (Nopal field), named for the Mexican Nopal cactus indigenous to the area. By 1870, an agricultural community flourished. The area was known as the Cahuenga Valley, after the pass in theSanta Monica Mountains immediately to the north.

  • Poverty Row Films of the 1930S by Robert J Read Department of Art History and Communication Studies
    A Squalid-Looking Place: Poverty Row Films of the 1930s by Robert J Read Department of Art History and Communication Studies McGill University, Montreal August 2010 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy All rights reserved. This work may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or by other means, without permission of the author. Robert J Read, 2010. ii Abstract Film scholarship has generally assumed that the low-budget independent film studios, commonly known as Poverty Row, originated in the early sound-era to take advantage of the growing popularity of double feature exhibition programs. However, the emergence of the independent Poverty Row studios of the 1930s was actually the result of a complex interplay between the emerging Hollywood studios and independent film production during the late 1910s and 1920s. As the Hollywood studios expanded their production, as well as their distribution networks and exhibition circuits, the independent producers that remained outside of the studio system became increasingly marginalized and cut-off from the most profitable aspects of film exhibition. By the late 1920s, non-Hollywood independent film production became reduced to the making of low-budget action films (westerns, adventure films and serials) for the small profit, suburban neighbourhood and small town markets. With the economic hardships of the Depression, the dominant Hollywood studios were forced to cut-back on their lower budgeted films, thus inadvertently allowing the independent production companies now referred to in the trade press as Poverty Row to expand their film practice.
