Stuart Blackton & Albert E. Smith created American #Vitagraph turning Edison's ‘Vitagraph’ projector into their ‘Vitagraph’ camera. This silly little film runs 86 secs. Warner Brothers Pictures bought Vitagraph in 1925.

Lets start our first post of 2022 with a Vitagraph image of Edna, promoting the 1916 silent movie "Salvation Joan". That single pearl on the side of her hat is awesome.
Edna came out of retirement to star in this movie and donated her salary of $100K to The Red Cross
#Vitagraph
A second fight broke out, this one outside the ring, after Biograph had discovered the camera. Even though #Vitagraph did manage to photograph the fight, Thomas Edison's long arm reached out and removed the film from the Vitagraph lab on the evening they had processed the film.
Biograph had the 'rights' to filming the fight. However, in the early days of movies, there was ruthlessness in the business. Vitagraph had secretly stationed their camera further back, behind the Biograph employees and cameras.
The #Vitagraph location at 140 Nassau Street in the Morse Building was one of many 'open-air studios' in existence but one of few rooftop studios. This drawing by Blackton gives a clear idea of what an open-air studio in the very early days of #cinematography looked like. -30-

AMERICAN VITAGRAPH
#Vitagraph had its beginnings as 'The International Novelty Company' in England as Ronald Reader, Stuart Blackton & Albert E. Smith called themselves while conjuring magic tricks, cartooning, giving magic lantern shows and #vaudeville acts.
The NY Vitagraph studios were located in Midwood Brooklyn on East 15th Street. In 1897 it was known as South Greenfield. Below, interior of the #Vitagraph studios showing a dressed set, camera on tripod, cameraman, several hanging arc lamps, and a glass roof for daytime shooting.
The men bought an Edison projector to show films, calling themselves ‘Edison Vitagraph’, deliberately tempting Edison to sue, which he did. Smith then tore the projector apart re-designing it into the #Vitagraph camera and ‘American Vitagraph’ was born. #cinemahistory
