I was there when Herb Alpert had A & M Records there. I was aware of the Chaplin connection. Interesting place and still well used and preserved. Thanks for bringing back memories for me.
Not open to the public, but I did get in once for a screening in the small screening room. Kept wondering which seat was Henson's. The screening room we made over to look a bit like the theater set in the Muppet TV show. The set was long gone...
Actually those are false doors now, but when Charlie owned his studio, those doors were fuctioning. There are videos of him coming out/in the ones on the side.
intersting that u mention. when i was little, i grew up in glendora ca. when growing up, we had to close our winders during the summer as for on 3 streets west of us was herb albert practicing for the big time according to my late mom. was cool of charlie chaplin to make his studio that way.
Herb Albert was under rated. Great musician, but amazing engineer and producer. Once he started recording there that was it, He just took over. Might as well have been the herb albert studio.
I will have to do some of my own screwing around there on La Brea Ave when I am there on Monday as my bus will be passing right in front of this place. Another great bit of Screwing Around.
Ahhhh! I love Charlie Chaplin! That reminds me! We need to get back to the Organ Loft, when they have their silent movie night! The Muppets will always be a fav...... Mostly because I have known so many people who remind me of the Muppet characters! Fun to discover this LA adventure!
Some of my best memories are of setting on a Sunday afternoon with my Uncle Albert and watching movies from the silent era. We'd also watch W.C. Fields, Our Gang, The Bowery Boys and of course The Marx Brothers. I miss Uncle Albert and those carefree days watching those movies! They really had soul those movies did!
Oddly enough, when I awoke to do the morning routine I said to myself, "Self !" " I just wonder if Toy Man posted some such lost quaint and curious bit of lore on his, now, occasional pieces that he and the Bride found. " We were not disappointed. Some time back the Jim Henson Co. tried a reality show, of sorts and this studio was always a back-drop; inside and out . Brilliant piece of history. Thank You for sharing. Jeanne and Greg.
HI. What a week. Big Boy chase, beat to crap, cheep motels, Mc Donald's food. No coffee first thing. AND snowing. AND my computer died. But I have a spare. Exact same computer, only older and slower. Which is to say its all old as computers go. 2012. But its the only software I know how to use. And I don't want to start over with todays no video edit system when it will be old and useless by fall. So I keep using what I know. But it won't run on a "modern" computer. ANYWAY I have a parts computer too. So I cobbled together a new faster OLD computer and it almost worked. No internet. And no video editing as the SN numbers don't match. So Im using both computers but soon hope to have one that is faster and runs all the software. BUT the geeks always say "why don't you just get a new computer?" And I say if my software would run on it I would. And they say "why don't you just learn new software?" And I say WHEN??? The only way I can do the show as fast as I do is I can edit in my sleep. For real. Anyway, what a week!! OH, did I mention in the middle of it we shot the GSL model car show? And the Rat Fink Reunion is in just over a week. So it goes STAY WELL!!
You two are never boring!! Trust me! I believe Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones used this place when they recorded 'We Are The World' so many years ago.
Huge studio. The sound stage could hold 200 musicians. The original "sound stage" can be see in the film. Open air. No sound recorded so they had flags to control the sunlight and that all. Chaplin only made one dialogue film, Limelight in the 50"s or 60"s I think? Anyway at some point the open air stage was turned into a large sound stage.
That was delightful! There are so many sites in L.A. that I'd like to see because I love old movies and especially the silent comedians. But L.A. is so distressing to visit that I haven't gone to most of them even though I only live over in Orange County. The difference is staggering, though... I don't handle cities, actually big cities, well at all. So it helps to see videos made by people of the places I want to see... if I do go, I'll know better what to expect. If I don't go, well, at least I've seen a video.
Train489 Official you can remove the comments from the three little dots next to the comment. You can also report the comment but unless it’s a threat TH-cam will do nothing. The great thing is in the TH-cam studio app. For your phone and on some computers but the app is easy. From the ap store or wherever you get apps. Here under the three dots is hide user from channel. Gone forever.
Have to correct you on one thing, Disney hasn’t taken over the studios, as they don’t own the Jim Henson Company. The company is still owned by Henson’s family, they only sold the rights to the Muppets & Bear in the big blue house to Disney.
Hello, Good morning from Las Vegas, Nevada. We used to live several blocks from here, and yes, it fades back into the “Los Angeles noise”. There is lots of “interesting” history around Hollywood; and Los Angeles as a whole. My suggestion to visitors traveling to Hollywood is to research Los Angeles County history before they get there. There is much more to experience than the tired, crowded Hollywood Walk of Fame. Suggestions would be to actually go inside the Chinese, Cinerama Dome, or El Capitan Theaters to experience a “real” movie. Then, there are the 2 Getty Museums, the County Museum of Art, and prehistoric tar pits. The Roosevelt Hotel has a small free museum on their mezzanine level. Pinks Hot Dogs is a popular local eatery. Lots of “stuff” to do if you hang out with the locals and resist the tourist bus. Also, Hollywood is like any other tourist spot on the planet. Watch out for pick pockets, con-artists, and CD hustlers. Don’t give money to pan handlers! Be wary, but not afraid. You’ll have a good time and learn something about local history.
HI. We have shows on a few of the less known places. The Toy District. Carnies. The Bat Man Museum in Warner. The old Lockheed plant. The tar pits and hot wheels track at LACMA. And some of the same in Salt Lake City. Hidden parks. Old railroads and highways. And more coming all the time. NOW in Seattle the underground power plant..
I wonder what Chaplin paid for that lot way back when? He got caught screwin around a bit too! But, no relation to your kind of screwin around though, or you wouldn't be on TH-cam! Thanks for more history of a bygone era.
I have an old projector, and a bunch of Charlie Chaplin, and Buster Keaton films... every year, I play them at "ConDor Con" in San Diego. You know... if you guys want to come to that convention... I''ll be happy to make you part of my group, and you can promote, and talk about your TH-cam channel... if you're interested... I'll hook you up with "Pawn Stars" "Doc Phineas", and you guys can explore San Diego with an actual archeologist if you're interested... Contact me at "Warflight@hotmail.com" You guys would be AMAZING at our con... this years theme is "Age of Heroes", and my group's theme is "The Adventurer's Club" (imagine an explorer's club in the 1920s... complete with Victrolas, and a library of books) You guys would fit in perfectly!
We plan on getting back to San Diego this summer but we never know what or when. We sort of let the wind blow us in a direction. That sounds like a great convention. Did you see our show on the Chinese theater in LA?

daverburr94 I also went there. I’m not sure why but I was a professional tuba player at the time and was probably just curious. All state of art.
Wow wonderful video,, Best regards from Good Old Cold Sweden
HI!! Is it warm yet? Bet its nice.
Cool. I live 50 miles from there and never been!
great video
I'm at work now, so I'll have to watch all the way through on my next break.
Hi. Yeepee my comment function is working again. Computer problems.
Interesting, thank you for sharing this. I was once in LA many years ago. I wish i could visit there again.

A great video, folks. As usual!
Great History!

Back before VHS I had many of these old films on super 8. I would sho them in a “theater” o set up in my garage

Great film...
I need advice, someone is targeting my youtube channel and content and will not stop, what should I do
Train489 Official trolling? Or content stealing? Trolling is easy you can remove the comments and block the user.
ok
