THE United studio is probably the largest and best equipped leasing studio
in Hollywood. While the president and owner of this lot carry on their own
productions, they are small in number compared to the companies renting
space there. There are five large closed stages of great dimensions, but
the one that occupies the back portion of the lot is equal in size to three
of them.
The open lot that is covered with fragments of buildings supplies the
street sets for the various companies there. In the midst of these exterior
locations is a large parking space for companies' and employes' cars. The
executive offices face the street, while the offices of individual companies
are in separate buildings.
A stage or portion of one is assigned to each producing unit, in proportion
to the number of interior sets required. This studio is located next to
the Robertson-Cole studio. |
