		The big studios, many of them already based in southern California, were making it impossible for independent companies to survive, and the Guy-Blachés sold out in 1920.
		No wonder she was also elected "Mayor of Universal City." Weber was apparently a one-woman studio herself, and by 1921 she was widely recognized as a picture pioneer and powerhouse.

	Becka Slade Thesis
		It examines the history of women directors within the ‘studio system’(pre-1950), to the innovation of the independent director (1960 to present.) The breakthroughs, the denial of credit, and the exclusion from Hollywood, woman directors are demanding the acknowledgement they rightly deserve.
		In retrospect, it is ironic that, as Gaumont Studios grew and Alice Guy hired more people, no more than a century later, film historians forgot the contribution she made and even wrongly attributed her films to them(Foster,162).
		She complained that when her last film lagged at the box office, it was the interference of the studio that had caused the film to fail(Redding and Brownworth,9).
