AMPAS produced, this is a 9 minute short on film, "the 1st of a series of motion pictures about motion pictures".
Let's go to the Movies 1948
You can see Mary Pickford, what seems to be Henry Walthall, Chaplin kinetoscope, clips of film audiences, Jolson footage in Jazz Singer, Great Train Robbery footage, as well as Griffith clips, John Barrymore as Richard III in 1929's Show of Shows, and interestingly, a shot of a Key Largo theater marquee--with Bogart, Bacall, and--Robinson.
It's interesting how they show some shots of non-USA theaters, as well. 1948 was a really busy period in Hollywood, so it's not like when they show "little old Hollywood" it's a realistic assessment. The publishing info shows Teaching Film Custodians : Instructional Films, 1948. It is downloadable!
