Poverty Row Hollywood Big Profit From Small Studios
Hollywood’s Poverty Row, largely clustered on West Sunset Boulevard, produces two and three reel films at low cost yet high profits. Many future stars and directors start here, with production costs seldom exceeding 7000 dollars per feature and profits sometimes reaching 70 percent. Studios buy inexpensive sets, shoot Westerns with rugged scenery, employ small casts, and often use versatile producers who write, produce, and direct.
