„Chaplin‘s New Studio Takes Shape Rapidly
WORK of creating the new Charley Chaplin Film Company
studio at Hollywood is progressing so rapidly that
General Manager John Jasper advises it will be possible
for the comedian and his troupe to begin making
his first picture within the next ten days. The building of the
studio is being recorded on a celluloid strip, and
when it is completed a film not exceeding more than three
hundred feet will show the work from start to finish.
Cameras are trained on the site from two locations where
derricks are used in order to get the best possible
bird‘s-eye view. Two weeks ago the site, which consists
of almost a lock, was covered with a lemon orchard,
the crop of which has been harvested. A row of twelve handsome
dressing rooms, a 30 x 50 foot carpenter shop,
an open air stage 70 x 260, garage building 30 x 40, and
foundations laid for the administration building
have been accomplished within a fortnight. According to the plans,
one hundred and ten feet of the stage will be enclosed
in glass, and immediately back of this will be erected a large
property room and setting storage warehouse.
The administration building will be of old English type
of architecture and will face on La Brea avenue.
On the other end of the block a handsome residence is being
remodeled to suit the desire of Mr. Chaplin, for it is
here that he will make his future home as soon as a passport
can be obtained for his mother, now in London.“
