WARSHAW COLLECTION OF BUSINESS AMERICANA: MOTION PICTURES,
1896-1963
#60
(2 cubic feet: 6 DB, 10 O/S Fldrs)
by: Franklin A. Robinson, Jr., December 2002
Scope and Content
Motion pictures were first publicly exhibited in the United States at the World's Columbian
Exposition in Chicago, Illinois in 1893. While the films exhibited there were technically crude
with little to no plot or story and far from the polished product of today, they immediately caught
the public's attention.
Within a short time the motion picture industry (creation, distribution, and marketing) had grown
into a lucrative business. Those first motion pictures were often short serial films run in a series
to keep customers coming back to follow the story's plot line to its conclusion. Gradually, films
became longer and a number of performers developed legions of fans guaranteeing a certain
amount of box office business from name recognition of the star alone.
Initially, the film industry consisted of many small companies, but competition cleared the field
and fewer, larger corporations cornered the market in both production and distribution.
Independent theatre owners, who were at first almost wholly independent of the production
companies, also became rare as the major theatre chains developed their own movie studios to
ensure a steady stream of films to be shown at their theaters. The film industry, at first based in
New York City and on the East Coast, moved to the famed Hollywood, California, in the late
1910s early 1920s.
The Motion Pictures section of the Warshaw Collection consists of various types of materials
relating to motion pictures. The collection is especially strong for the silent movie era, 1893-1927. This portion of the collection is divided into seven series:
Series 1: MOTION PICTURE
COMPANIES, 1903-1963 contains promotional materials, correspondence and full-size
posters. This series is arranged alphabetically by company name and then by motion picture title
as it occurs in the folder arrangement. Series 2: MOVIE HOUSES/THEATRES,
1896-1963 contains some correspondence but mostly promotional materials for the motion pictures
listed as playing at those theatres. This series is arranged alphabetically by theatre name and then
alphabetically by feature title. The address or location of the theatre is included where known.
Programs may also include references to films other than the film featured. Series 3:
MANUFACTURERS & DISTRIBUTORS, 1893-1952 contains correspondence and
product catalogues. The series is arranged alphabetically by company name. Most companies
are represented by one item per folder. Series 4: IMAGES OF PERSONALITIES, 1914-1946 &
n.d contains mostly undated chromo-lithograph and photographic postcards and
photographic images of film celebrities, production/location stills, cigarette and trade cards. The
series is arranged alphabetically by the personality's last name. Series 5: RELATED
MATERIALS, ca. 1900-1960 & n.d. contains a variety of materials, correspondence
relating to acting and scriptwriting, press releases, promotional materials, commercially produced
"albums" of star portraits, postcards of star's homes, and "pin-up" postcards. The series is
arranged chronologically. Series 6: PUBLICATIONS, 1911-1953 & n.d. contains a
range of publications relating to the motion picture industry, specific stars or motion pictures.
The series is arranged chronologically and Series 7: SLIDES, 1931 & n.d.
contains
slides used in movie houses.
