The Essanay Studios in Chicago

Posted 1 year ago by avatar charb in response to ruby's question: I heard they used to make movies in Chicago...is it true? (give a different answer) .

Not just that they used to make movies there, but Chicago was the movie industry's capital, at least during the silent movie period. The center of the movie scene were the Essanay Studios on W Argyle street. Charlie Chaplin shot many of his silent movies here ... Bronco Billy movies were shot here too
