For the first decade that motion pictures were being made, an agreed upon naming convention for sequenced moving images had not been unanimously settled. With little distinction, “photoplay,” “kinetoscope,” “cinematograph,” “nickelodeon,” and “theatorium” were all tendered as naming devices for this nascent entertainment technology. It was not until 1915, when Louella Parsons––the industry’s first authoritative gossip columnist––published her manual How to Write for the “Movies,” that “movie” was established as the dominant nomenclature for a theatrically released feature.
