INTRODUCTION The motion picture industry played, and continues to play, a significant role in the economic and cultural development of Los Angeles, and a large part of the city’s identity is tied to its role as a center of the entertainment industry. The relationship of Hollywood, the concept, and Los Angeles, the place, can best be described as symbiotic. As such, Hollywood is more than a geographic location of industrial building and production facilities. The movie studios and their accompanying support services that make up the “industry” are significant assets to Hollywood and Los Angeles. Over the course of the 20th century, new forms of entertainment found their footing in Hollywood and flourished. Film, radio, television, and sound recording all evolved into major forms of nationwide communication and entertainment under the Southern California sun. In doing so, these mediums transformed the landscape of Los Angeles, and Hollywood in particular, from a sea of citrus groves into a bustling hub of commercial and industrial activity related to the entertainment industry. This theme examines the development of the motion picture, radio, television, and recording industries as well as associated property types located in Los Angeles2 which include: major and independent 1 See also surveys of the Hollywood Redevelopment Project Area completed by the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). These surveys were separate from, and not included in, SurveyLA. 2 Some resources associated with these industries are located outside of the city of Los Angeles. Locations include the cities of Burbank, Culver City, and West Hollywood. They are referenced in the context narrative where relevant, but are not evaluated as part of this context. Page | 1 SurveyLA Citywide Historic Context Statement Entertainment Industry/Industrial Properties Associated with the Entertainment Industry, 1908-1980 movie studios, radio and television broadcasting facilities, music studios, and support services. The accompanying eligibility standards provide a framework for their evaluation. Evaluation Considerations: This theme may overlap with other citywide historic contexts and themes as follows: • Properties significant for their architectural quality may also be evaluated under themes within the “Architecture and Engineering” historic context. • Industrial properties may also be evaluated under relevant sub-contexts and themes within the “Industrial Development” historic context. • Some properties may also be discussed in the ethnic/cultural contexts. In particular, see the “African Americans in Los Angeles,” “Asian Americans in Los Angeles,” “Jewish History,” and “Latino Los Angeles,” contexts. • Industrial properties may also be significant under the “Labor History” theme of the “Industrial Development” historic context. • Industrial properties significant for their association with individuals who were influential in the development of the entertainment industry may also be evaluated using the “Guidelines for Evaluating Properties Associated with Important Persons in Los Angeles.” Page | 2 SurveyLA Citywide Historic Context Statement Entertainment Industry/Industrial Properties Associated with the Entertainment Industry, 1908-1980 HISTORIC CONTEXT Industrial Properties Associated with the Entertainment Industry, 1908-1980 Origins of the Entertainment Industry in Southern California The most significant factor in the development of Hollywood in the twentieth century was the arrival of the entertainment industry. Regular motion picture production began in Hollywood in 1911, and quickly grew into a significant economic force. As the popularity of motion pictures grew, more physical facilities related to film production were constructed in Hollywood, and the industry contributed significantly to the area’s overall industrial growth. Origins of the Motion Picture Industry The origins of motion picture production in Southern California are rooted in the arrival of two men from Chicago: Francis Boggs and Thomas Persons. Boggs, an actor and director, and Persons, a cameraman, were representatives of the Selig Polyscope Company and traveled west from Chicago to Southern California in 1907 to film exterior location shots at Laguna Beach for The Count of Monte Cristo.3 As film historian Eileen Bowser notes, while Boggs was far from the first to actually make films in California – there had been films shot there in the previous decade – he may have been the first representative of a major company to travel there on location and then return to establish a studio.4 Boggs and the Selig company returned to Los Angeles in March 1909 and leased quarters behind the Sing Kee Chinese Laundry at 751 South Olive Street (not extant) in Downtown Los Angeles, constructing the first-ever movie set in the city. The first movie to be filmed at Selig’s temporary facility was The Heart of a Race Tout, which was released in 1909 and included location shots of nearby Central Park (now known as Pershing Square), and Lucky Baldwin’s Santa Anita Park racetrack recorded in the final three days before the park’s closure.5 The film, which is believed to be the first full-length picture shot entirely in the Los Angeles area, “inaugurated the Los Angeles film industry.”6 3 See also the “Filming Locations Associated with the Motion Picture and Television Industries” theme. 4 Eileen Bowser, The Transformation of Cinema, 1907-1915, vol. 2, in History of the American Cinema, ed. Charles Harpole (Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 1990), 151. 5 Andrew A. Erish, Col. William N. Selig, The Man Who Invented Hollywood (Austin, TX: University of Texas Press, 2012), 82. While some historians claim that the first movie to be filmed in Los Angeles was Selig’s In The Sultan’s Power, Erish’s examination of William N. Selig’s correspondence reveals that The Heart of a Race Tout was filmed prior to In The Sultan’s Power, but the latter was released first. 6 Erish, Col. William N. Selig, 82.

  • Mabel's Blunder
    Mabel’s Blunder By Brent E. Walker Mabel Normand was the first major female comedy star in American motion pictures. She was also one of the first female directors in Hollywood, and one of the original principals in Mack Sennett’s pioneering Keystone Comedies. “Mabel’s Blunder” (1914), made two years after the formation of the Keystone Film Company, captures Normand’s talents both in front of and behind the camera. Born in Staten Island, New York in 1892, a teenage Normand modeled for “Gibson Girl” creator Charles Dana Gibson before entering motion pictures with Vitagraph in 1910. In the summer of 1911, she moved over to the Biograph company, where D.W. Griffith was making his mark as a pioneering film director. Griffith had already turned actresses such as Florence Lawrence and Mary Pickford into major dramatic stars. Normand, however, was not as- signed to the dramas made by Griffith. Instead, she went to work in Biograph’s comedy unit, directed by an actor-turned-director named Mack Sennett. Normand’s first major film “The Diving Girl” (1911) brought her notice with nickelodeon audiences.

  • INITIAL STUDY 6250 Sunset Project
    City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning Environmental Analysis Section City Hall 200 N. Spring Street, Room 750 Los Angeles, CA 90012 INITIAL STUDY HOLLYWOOD COMMUNITY PLAN AREA 6250 Sunset Project Case Number: ENV-2014-751-EIR Project Location: 6230-6254 Sunset Boulevard, and 6237-6253 Leland Way, Los Angeles, CA, 90028 Council District: 13 Project Description: The Project proposes a mixed-use development on an approximately 2.06 acre site located between Sunset Boulevard and Leland Way in the Hollywood community of the City of Los Angeles. The Project Site is currently developed with a building constructed in the late 1930’s as the Earl Carroll Theatre (ECT Building) and a surface parking lot with accessory structures. The ECT Building has been used by the Nickelodeon on Sunset Corporation (Nickelodeon) as a sound stage for television productions with associated offices since the early 1980’s. The Project would protect and retain the ECT Building and construct a new seven-story, mixed-use building on the western portion of the Project Site. The Project includes approximately 4,700 square feet of ground floor commercial space and 200 residential units. Five percent of the residential units are restricted as very-low income. The Project would also provide a pedestrian paseo between the new building and the ECT Building that would link Sunset Boulevard and Leland Way. Other amenities associated with the residential units include a lobby, fitness center, pool terrace, pool, spa area, sky deck, landscaped areas, and a club house/lounge area. Parking would be located in a four-level, 316 space parking structure with two levels of subterranean parking, an at-grade parking level, and one level above-grade.
