Description
The film's voice-over explains that prior to the invention of motion pictures and the construction of proximately located production companies, actors were required to continuously travel by stagecoach or rail to appear in front of audiences across the country. With the establishment of Hollywood, actors could settle in one shared space along with their families to continue with their professions, and simultaneously further various hobbies and interests besides acting.
