Incredible in 2022 to realize there were cars 100 years ago, very amazing insight to the workings of the studio 100 years ago, and Ince was ahead of his time.

This acreage and infrastructure of Thomas Ince's evolved into RKO Pathe, then RKO Culver, later Desilu Culver following the late 1950s' sale of the three RKO lots [two in Hollywood; this one in Culver City] to Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, founders of Desilu.

Definitely a mysterious death. If one follows the circumstances, one will likely find the answer to it. W.R. Hearst invited a number of people on to his yacht including Ince and his wife. Also on board was Charlie Chaplin, Hearst was jealous that his mistress, Mario Davies & Chaplin were having an affair (they were). The official story is that Ince got stomach complications & was taken off the yacht & died within 24 hours. However, it was found that Ince had bullet holes on his body. The rumor is that Hearst mistakenly shot Ince thinking he was Chaplin. What we do know is that after Ince's death, Hearst paid off the mortgage on Ince's home and provided a monthly income to Ince's widow, definitely sounds like hush money to me. Hearst was not known to be an overly generous man.
There is a theory his death onboard Randolph Hearst’s yacht was due to some love triangle - the Peter Bogdonovich film “The Cat’s Meow” is based on this theory.

Fascinating film, thanks for posting it! Look at how well dressed people were back then, now people are so grubby.

cars were around longer than that. not that amazing but nothings changed on how they used them to make movies.
Who would believe that the the studio featured in this very rare film would, by 1925, become the legendary MGM studios.

Wasn't Ince murdered?
