Reliance-Majestic Studios

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reliance-Majestic Studios in Hollywood, California, was a early American motion-picture studio.

Originally built around 1914 at 4516 Sunset Boulevard. Within a few years, it became the home of D. W. Griffith and Mutual Pictures. Only its name was changed to Fine Arts Sudios and sometimes Griffith Studio and to the Griffith Artcraft Studio. The Birth of a Nation and Broken Blossoms were partially or fully lensed at the studio. The sets for Intolerance were erected across the street where the Vista Theatre stands.

Thomas Ince's Kay Bee Studios, Mack Sennett's Keystone Studios, and D. W. Griffith's Reliance-Majestic studio were combined to form the Triangle Film Corporation.
