The reason that so many companies make their win- ter headquarters in Los Angeles is to be found in the wide range of scenery within easy reach. City streets and mansions are close at hand, while within fifty miles are to be found the perpetual snows of moun- tain-tops, arid deserts and foliage of tropical luxuriance. The companies do not confine their work to the immediate vicinity of Los Angeles, but merely make that city their base of operations. George H. F.—See above for the differ- ent companies belonging to Mutual and Universal. Warner release pictures of several different companies, which are in- dependent from the above-mentioned.
