Thx for this one
e_r, I knew the history, but had never seen those pix. My ex worked there on Hawaii Five-0 a million years ago. I know that lot well. It used to have some great standing sets.
From 1935 to 1959 it was Republic Pictures, an amalgamation of six Poverty Row companies (Monogram Pictures, Mascot Pictures, Liberty Pictures, Majestic Pictures, Chesterfield Pictures and Invincible Pictures), although Monogram later broke away to re-establish itself as an independent.
John Wayne, Gene Autry, Rex Allen and Roy Rogers all became famous at Republic.
