Description
Inceville was a pioneering movie studio built by film producer Thomas Ince on a ranch located at present-day Sunset Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway in Pacific Palisades, California. Four women with their dogs pose in a village, which was part of the expansive network of sets. Ince ran the studio for several years, starting in 1912, before selling Inceville and moving on. The village eventually burned to the ground in 1922; only the church, made of stone, survived. It would later disappear as well. This photo is part of a series documenting the visit of a small party to Inceville and nearby locations. Written by Eric Wienberg on back: "1922 Inceville, Cal. Studio Houses EEW" complete;
