ONE seldom hears of Sunset boulevard or Western avenue, but they are
equally as important as the famed Hollywood boulevard, and right at the
crossroads the Fox studio is located. The Fox organization itself is a huge
one and in order to keep all their stars at work they must have the space
for sets to accommodate all their companies.
On the lot in the upper half of the photo are all the exterior sets.
The size of these range from a cottage to a whole street. There are no closed
stages on that lot. The large buildings there are the property room, carpenter
shop and electric plant.
In the foreground is the more substantial part of the Fox studio. There
are three huge closed stages, and right down in the front of the picture
is the laboratory. The little cottages in a group are individual offices
of each producing unit, where the director, scenario writer, camera man
and their assistants make their headquarters. |
