Welcome aboard Pink Monterail. I'm your pilot Michelle Vaya Doolide and next to me is my co-pilot Noah Vaya Dolid.

Hey everybody.

Last time, we talked about Coney Island.

This time, we're talking about something a little closer to home, Universal Studios Hollywood

Hollywood started out as a farm. In 1914, Kalemley bought the Taylor Ranch in the San Fernando Valley and opened Universal

Studios.

The ranch was still a working ranch and farm at the time.

Lemley announced the official studio opening would be February 2nd, 1915.

They built semi-permanent sets.

A building, for example, depending on the angle at which it was shot could be a blacksmith shop a gothic

hunting lodge a military barracks or a wild west ranch it was a single building

with four different sides.

So different decorations, different painting, etc.

It's, exactly.

And this was during like the golden age of silent pictures.

This is when Hollywood still had like the Hollywood Land

full the full Hollywood Land sign. Yes. Wow.

Another example, a bridge over the stream could be a Japanese arch bridge,

a Roman stone paved bridge, or a steel cantilever bridge, just based on how it was dressed by the set dressers.

There was a zoo and a kind of human zoo, which we don't like, with a Native American tribe from New Mexico,

living on the ranch along with a hundred head of buffalo and many horses.

According to a news article at the time, one of the most picturesque spots in the city is the Indian village, which is the largest in America, and is inhabited by a group of, and then she makes a slur, but she means Native Americans, who are encouraged to pursue their life and adorn themselves grotesquely as possible.
