A comprehensive but cheerful description of the famous California film colony, by the motion-picture critic of Life. Mr. Sherwood, having read all the wild stories about Hollywood, "the twentieth-century Babylon," decided to conduct a personal investigation. His chief aim was to find out, "What's all the shootin' for?" He visited all the studios and the movie stars' homes, and even went so far as to act in a picture himself. Here are the results of his investigation in the celluloid belt. They include intimate portraits of all the cinema celebrities: Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Harold Lloyd, William S. Hart, Cecil B. De Mille, Wallace Reid and many others. There is also a detailed description of the methods of movie production, from the time the story is first written until the picture is exhibited on the screen.
