The film industry in America actually started up in New York at the beginning of this century, but it quickly moved to Hollywood .There were two main reasons for the move.

Film in those days was very different to film today and needed very bright light to give a clear picture. The weather in California was warm and sunny for much of the year, and the countryside was beautiful and suitable for film making.
They made mainly westerns at first because they were cheap and people loved them. They told the story of America of the hard years of slowly opening up the west and winning wars against the Indians. After a while, other kinds of films were made .Of course, until about 1927, the film were silent and the "speech" was shown on the screen in the form of writing on cards. When sound was introduced, some stars just couldn't carry on in the movies. Some had awful voices, other just couldn't really act.
