Betzwood Studios

Betzwood Studios werefounded by movie pioneer Siegmund Lubin.
D. W. Griffith filmed the first movie ever shot in Hollywood in 1910, but studios were not built there until 1913, long after Lubin had established himself in the Philadelphia area in 1898.
In 1912 Lubin bought the Montgomery County estate of brewer John Betz and began to develop Betzwood.
One of the films shot here was 1914 The Servant Girl’s Legacy- the earliest surviving film of Oliver Hardy
