  Jacksonville, Florida, was the king of the infant film industry. By 1914, fifteen major companies - including Fox and Metro Pictures - had set up shop there. This book uses first-person accounts, filmmaker biographies, newspaper reports, and city and museum archives to present a little-known aspect of film history.
