THE MOTION PICTURE AND AIRCRAFT INDUSTRIES
The first motion picture theater in California opened in Los Angeles in April 1902.In the early 1920s Los Angeles became well known for two of America’s most important industries: motion pictures and aircraft. Motion picture producers moved their studios from the East Coast to Los Angeles to take advantage of the excellent weather. Hollywood became the center for movie production. Seven important studios by the end of the 1920s had created the biggest motion picture industry in the world.
This was the «golden age» of Hollywood, where each studio employed thousands of actors,actresses, writers and costume designers.By the 1930s the exciting motion picture industry was simply called «Hollywood» and itproduced 400 films a year.
