“Greatest Combination in Motion Pictures”: Film History and the Division of Labor in the New York Motion Picture Company

At its height, the New York Motion Picture Company was a dominant force in film production, and employed two of the most popular and talented producer-directors of the silent era, Mack Sennett and Thomas Ince. Whereas film historians have recognized the contributions of these figures to the development of the early film industry, little attention has been paid to the NYMPC heads, Adam Kessel and Charles Baumann. Such neglect, the paper argues, stems from a retrospective misreading of industrial production and business practices during the mid-teens.
