 This Biograph film was the first movie ever made in Hollywood.  Director D.W. Griffith (qv) discovered the little village on his  trips to California and decided to shoot there because of the  beautiful scenery and friendly people. On 6 May 2004 a monument will  be erected at 1713 Vine Street, just north of Hollywood Boulevard.  The monument is being made by Hollywood Forever Cemetery, and the  actual rare film which was once thought lost will be screened at the  Beverly Hills Film Festival. This is the first time the movie has  been seen by the public in 94 years. The film will then be scheduled  for restoration, and the restored version will be premiered at a  later date. The American Mutoscope & Biograph Co. [us] (qv) who  made the film is in existence today and the oldest movie company in  America, established in 1895.
