Studio head Thomas H. Ince was dubbed the “Father of the Western” and was responsible for making over 800 films. He pioneered filmmaking through the creation of the first dedicated Hollywood studio facility and introducing the “assembly line system“ of filmmaking. He eventually entered into a partnership with D. W. Griffith and Mack Sennett to form the Triangle Motion Picture Company, whose studios are the present-day site of Sony Pictures. Ince famously died aoard William Randolph Hearst’s yacht in 1924 at age 44, at the height of his success and right around the time this film was made.
