Night Life in Hollywood is a 1922 American comedy film[1] directed by Fred Caldwell. It featured an ensemble cast including J. Frank Glendon, Josephine Hill, Gale Henry, J.L. McComas, Elizabeth Rhodes, Jack Connolly, Delores Hall, Wallace Reid,[2] Theodore Roberts, Sessue Hayakawa, Tsuru Aoki, William Desmond, Bryant Washburn, Bessie Love, J. Warren Kerrigan and Edward Peil, Jr..
In 1922, Ada Bell Maescher organized the De Luxe Film Company to produce the propaganda picture, which would show the "real" living conditions in the film capital. Instead of depicting Hollywood as a lurid, sensual Babylon, with its reported debauches of depravity and wickedness, it was shown as a model city, beautiful and attractive, and populated with home-loving people.[3][4] The film cost approximately $100,000 ($1.82 million in today's money).
