Abstract:
New York, Hollywood, Hong Kong, Calcutta, and Greenville? Greenville might not belong among the Mecca's of the silver screen, but it does have a history of movies. In July 1927, a tobacco industry movie was made. In June 1941, the Reclife Motion Pictures of Indianapolis headed by E.V. Atkinson made “Greenville on the Screen.” In 1947, the Greenville-based Lord Warner Pictures made "Pitch a Boogie Woogie." Dominant Pictures, renowned "B" moviemakers from Charlotte, used Pitt County backroads for their films "The Blood Feast" and "Moonshine Mountain" and their next film after 1965. Pitt County also had several stars. In 1939, Lath (Tarzan) Morris was in several movies. Kathryn Youngblood, a dancer who danced beside some of Hollywood's most famous stars in the 1940s, appeared in the Warner Brothers production, "Night and Day." Along with these stars, there have been several dog stars. One such famous "hound" was Grey Shadow, who starred in "Invisible Man."
