Scope and Content Note

The papers of Thomas Harper Ince (1882-1924) span the years 1913-1964, with
the bulk of the material covering the period 1917-1936. They document
Ince's professional work as a silent film producer and the business and
legal dealings following his sudden death under controversial circumstances
involving William Randolph Hearst in 1924. Born into a family of stage
actors, Ince began work in motion pictures in 1910, moved quickly from
acting to screenwriting and directing, and ultimately became one of the
leading producers of the silent film era. He is credited with developing a
standardized and efficient method of film production. The Ince Papers are
arranged in two series: Production File and Business File.

The Production File, comprising the largest portion of the Ince Papers,
relates to produced films as well as to stories that were potential
projects but not filmed. The series is arranged according to the name of
the author of the original story and then by title of the story or film.
This organization documents the process of moving from story to silent
film. As a producer, Ince used a continuity script which set out the film
scene by scene, shot by shot, to maintain control over the work of
directors and to plan budgets and other tasks. The files are of varying
levels of completeness, but the types of items included are scenario
records, synopses, continuity scripts, annotated shooting scripts, title
sheets, original stories, production cost reports, assistant director's
daily reports, memoranda, and draft publicity. The most extensive file is
that for The Marriage Cheat, written by Frank Adams and C. Gardner
Sullivan.

Ince's earliest films are not represented in the Production File. Most
material dates from 1917 onward. Types of films include westerns, dramas,
and melodramas. Actors and actresses featured include Enid Bennett, Dorothy
Dalton, William S. Hart, Douglas MacLean, and Charles Ray. Directors
include Fred Niblo and John Griffith Wray. Staff writers include Julien
Josephson, Bradley King, and C. Gardner Sullivan.

The Business File contains corporate, financial, and legal material
relating to the production and distribution of Ince's films as well as to
the disposition of his estate. An assignments and rights section contains
contracts and agreements relating to the purchase and sale of story rights
and copyrights. Copies of copyright documents made in 1924 contain
information on some of Ince's early films. Corporate record books for the
Thos. H. Ince Corp. and Associated Producers contain minutes which outline
Ince's filmmaking, distribution activities, and concerns for the period
1920-1924. Financial registers detail earnings and production costs. Tax
files document Ince's income tax problems which were not resolved until
well after his death, and additional files relate to the business and legal
situation following Ince's sudden death. Auditor's reports detail the
difficulty of unraveling and disposing of Ince's estate. Files on the
liquidation of assets describe efforts to sell off story rights, dialogue
rights, and the films themselves. Lists and inventories used during this
process are a useful source for identifying Ince's productions.
