It may look like a Spanish mission or it may be a superb building done in the modern manner — This, ladies and gentlemen, to the right, is the place where Jack Oakie, Kay Francis, William Powell and — oh, name the Paramount stars for yourself — all work on those masterpieces of inspiration which Paramount creates. Inspiration should be easy in such surroundings. Once upon a time there was Metro and there was Goldwyn and there was Louis B. Mayer — but now it's Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and all one happy family. These studios look more business-like than decorative, but there are some pretty corners hiding beliind those buildings. Above is the studio where the youngest executive in the industry holds sway. We. refer, of course, to Carl Laemmle, Jr., who is the big gun of big guns over at Universal. Out at Culver City is one of the most beautiful studios in the movie world. Cool green lawns surround it and a surprising atmosphere of quiet pervades this villa which carries on business efficiently under the wellknown name of Pathe. 46
