History

Screen Snapshots advertisement to exhibitors, 1922

In 1919, Jack Cohn, brother of future Columbia president Harry Cohn, wanted short one-reel size films showing the reality of Hollywood.[3] The two brothers created Hall Room Boys Photoplays, with Harry in Los Angeles to produce and Jack in New York for distribution.[4] While Harry considered himself in charge of everything the company made, it was Jack's project and so he brought in Lewis Lewyn [de] to coproduce.[5]

From about 1930, these short documentaries were almost exclusively written, produced, directed and narrated by Harriet Parsons, when she left Ralph Staub took over production responsibilities and Art Baker served as narrator until the series was discontinued in 1958. They usually ran for 9 or 10 minutes and were shown in cinema theatres like newsreels alongside main features.

Awards

Three of these documentary shorts were nominated for an Academy Award, Best Short Subject, One-reel, all produced by Staub. They are:
