Studio head Thomas H. Ince was dubbed the “Father of the Western” and was responsible for making over 800 films. He pioneered filmmaking through the creation of the first dedicated Hollywood studio facility and introducing the “assembly line system" of filmmaking. He eventually entered into a partnership with D. W. Griffith and Mack Sennett to form the Triangle Motion Picture Company, whose studios are the present-day site of Sony Pictures. Ince famously died aoard William Randolph Hearst's yacht in 1924 at age 44, at the height of his success and right around the time this film was made.

Thanks for all you do. Really important work.
That must have been an exciting time being how new everything was.
That time stamp/counter thing blocks the bottom row of each page. Did you not watch your own video?
Yes, it's annoying, especially on a video we rely on the words this time. I think we need a redo.
It's simply an anti piracy thing. They would like for you to buy their videos and with the ease of copying RUclips videos they put that timer on there as sort of a watermark.
Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous RUclips users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do.

@@PeriscopeFilmCan you at least lower it please? We who don't produce documentaries would like to see what's there too. Please?
No, sorry. See above comment -- lowering the burn-in causes problems with piracy.
This was fascinating ! Good old Blackhawk films !
Placing a timer clock just above the image is like wearing one's underpants over the trousers!
Padding the film with exposition was so much easier back in the days before talkies. 20 minutes of TL:DR was nothing since people apparently read slower back then too.
I love you guys, i really do. But that counter really needs to go. I couldn't read a blessed word on the bottom line of the opening cards
What's with the music ? Doesn't fit .
Ince made great westerns. I think he was murdered😮
Nope, just a 100-year-old urban legend!
I thought he was shot by Randolph Hurst on his boat!
@@davidsincere6037 He wasn't. The "urban legend" went something like this: Hearst 'caught' him with Marion Davies (Hearst's mistress) and shot Ince to death on his yacht. The truth...lol, is much more boring. Ince had been suffering from acute stomach pains for weeks and died from a ruptured, infected appendicitis.(this was in the days before antibiotics, etc.)
Seems to me this guy had it all.I wonder did he distribute as well.If so I do believe this guy was definitely murdered.
LOVE the content of this video, however, absolutely H A T E the music!! Why wouldn't you have used music more associated with the 1920s?? For that reason, giving it a great big THUMBS DOWN!
RUclips music is an extremely limited library. If you don't like the music, why not just turn off the volume? It's a simple fix.
@@PeriscopeFilm I am in agreement with your reasoning and care taken with the selection, but might I offer a suggestion?
A lot of stuff from this era now falls under public domain. Copyrights are expired for everything first published or released in the USA before January 1st, 1928 effective January 1st of this year. Next year it will be works published before 1929 and so on... Just something to consider.
Whatever the case, I really appreciate you keeping these old films alive.
That's not a suggestion -- it appears to be more of a comment? In any case thanks for your interest.
@@PeriscopeFilm A comment with implied suggestion. 👍
score is absolutely terrible
