I'm curious about by what's across the street. It looks like two large transformers on top of a building.

Here's an enlargement of the 'Barrymore & Stroheim' snap.
I believe that's Mr. Barrymore under that guy's arm. -and what's that tall mechanical thing that almost looks like a dual wig-wag?
and I've enlarged this one to see the background more clearly.
and to get a good look at Sid's socks.
one last enlargement. I thought I might recognize these two performers if I enlarged the photo. (no such luck) -those are some massive oil drums.
Does anyone have an idea what movie they're working on?
