The stage is so big, it's just unbelievable - I made my kids all walk in it and appreciate the size of it! I also saw Cain and Mabel recently - the scenes in the big stage are pretty spectacular.Happy Mom Aimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10790659917166339029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943857813487857438.post-51853652503526322622010-03-23T23:42:40.623-07:002010-03-23T23:42:40.623-07:00Hi, GREAT website!

Thought you'd like to know there's an incredible sequence in "The Roaring Twenties" with James Cagney, which used the exterior of Stage 16 as a liquor warehouse! Cagney hides behind one of those slanted supports and shoots a night watchman.

There going to be building a new modern facility but it's unfortunate they couldn't refurbish the existing building.<BR/><BR/>On another note, back at WB, they tore down building 89 where they used to store grip equipment. It's sad that the building is gone but they have recycled all the douglas fir timbers and will be making desks, doors, and other materials from the recycled lumber - still wish the building was there though.Robby Cresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535820211830339224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943857813487857438.post-23104914375474254992009-01-31T15:30:00.000-08:002009-01-31T15:30:00.000-08:00Interesting post Rob.

It's strange that they did not acknowledge the film that caused the sound stage to be built this way. Was the film a flop??Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08826428366424218015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943857813487857438.post-50803273173390593362009-01-31T13:46:00.000-08:002009-01-31T13:46:00.000-08:00Your blog is right up my street, I'll be back to r...Your blog is right up my street, I'll be back to read it all soon xMiss Matildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079027698709659782noreply@blogger.com
