	Motion Picture Studios of California
		In the early spring of 1908 the late Frank Boggs, at the head of a company of players, blazed the pioneer trail to the Pacific Coast by establishing for Colonel William N. Selig a motion picture studio at the corner of Seventh and South Olive streets, in Los Angeles.
		Kalem is transferring to Glendale from the Hollywood studio, which they have disposed of, the Ham comedy company, directed by Al Santell, and "The Daughter of Daring" company, featuring Helen Gibson, directed by Scott Sidney.
		Today between twenty-five and thirty companies are at work day and night to keep up with the demand for Universal films, and the cost of production of the photoplays, forty reels of which are turned out weekly, easily has tripled the cost of two years ago.

	Sidney Olcott - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1907, Frank Marion and Samuel Long, with financial backing from George Kleine, formed a new motion picture company called the Kalem Company and were able to lure the increasingly successful Sidney Olcott away from Biograph.
		After making a number of very successful films for the Kalem studio, including "Ben Hur" (1907) with its dramatic chariot race scene, Olcott became the company's president and was rewarded with one share of its stock.
		The Kalem Company never recovered from the mistake of losing Olcott and a few years after his departure, the operation was acquired by Vitagraph Studios in 1916.

		I was only vaguely aware of Stephen Sondheim when COMPANY opened; I lived in Philadelphia at the time, and I did not rush out to get a ticket when it first opened, although Barbara Barrie was in the cast, and she was always someone I admired.
		COMPANY opened on April 26, 1970 at the Alvin Theatre and ran for 706 performances.
		COMPANY was criticized by many writers as being anti-marriage, but you only have to take a good look at these clever lyrics to realize that they are pretty insightful about the ups and downs of living together, whether you have a marriage certificate or not.

	Chapter Three
		Even before the Kalem case found copyright infringement in the making of movie adaptations of copyrighted works, early film producers had registered their copyrights in movies as a series of individual photographs, by depositing either copies of the filmstrips or paper prints made from the filmstrips.
		Companies like Home Box Office and the television networks responded by scrambling their signals as they were transmitted by satellite.
		Never mind that the companies’ entire multimillion-dollar operations would be put in jeopardy; since the companies were using the “public airwaves,” they weren’t supposed to be able to protect their investment.

		The case was heard on the pleadings and an agreed statement of facts, and the only issue is whether those facts constitute an infringement of the copyright upon the book.
		So far as they need to be stated here they are as follows: The appellant and defendant, the Kalem company, is engaged in the production of moving-picture films, the operation and effect of which are too well known to require description.
		By means of them anything of general interest, from a coronation to a prize fight, is presented to the public with almost the illusion of reality,-latterly even color being more or less reproduced.

		The company was established in 1907 and, in 1916, was bought up by Vitagraph.

		The company's star actress and most prolific screenwriter, Gene Gauntier, known as the "Kalem Girl," wrote the scenario for Manger and played the Virgin Mary.

	An Interview sith Alice Joyce of the Kalem Company
		One year ago Miss Joyce came East to appear in special Kalem productions and she has since remained at the New York studio, where she is featured each week in a drama of modern life.
		Some time ago one of our companies produced a play in which an army officer was seen in his tent, with an American flag over his table.
		Undoubtedly players connected with other companies have the same experience and the result is that we have not looked to the present style of reviews for helpful suggestions.

		A classic of the silent cinema, this was the first of the Christ films to be made on location in the Middle East.
		The film’s genesis began when a small crew was sent by the New York-based Kalem Company to the Middle East to produce a quick series of Arabian potboilers.
		Olcott and screenwriter/actress Gene Gautier (who plays the Virgin Mary) decided to add a feature-length story of Christ to their itinerary after being overwhelmed by the awesome surroundings (the image of Mary and Joseph in repose alongside the Sphinx was a spectacular indulgence they couldn’t resist, however anachronistic it was).

		In 1907, the Kalem Company made a 20 minute version of General Lew Wallace's sprawling Biblical epic by stealing some shots of a mock chariot race at a fireworks show at Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, and adding some interiors.
		The company had spent a year in Italy, and there was still material to be shot, or reshot, in the case of the entire chariot race, with which MGM leadership was still not satisfied.
		BEN-HUR had done exactly what the new company asked of it, and for another quarter century, the name MGM was to signify quality at any expense.

		Ticka] as Detective-camera was shown in the film The Society Schemer of the Kalem Company, in which it played the role of the most important evidence." This film is something of a mystery, as it does not appear in the IMDB list of movies by the Kalem company (or anywhere else that I can find).
		However, considering Kalem's production rate of up to one silent short film per week for about ten years, they might easily have lost or renamed this one.

		It was all very revolutionary, and, however much the other companies criticized, the sale of Biograph pictures immediately outstripped them all, the public endorsed the new type of direction, and the other directors began to imitate it.
