As much as I enjoy the old Warners DEAD END KIDS, I think it would be great to see the Allied Artist BOWERY BOYS series.

I really would love a copy of BOWERY BOYS MEET THE MONSTERS from a nice broadcast quality source!

Ganavon, I believe TCM aired a batch of Bowery Boys films a few years ago and more recently an all day showing of The East Side Kids.

I expect they may show the Bowery Boys flicks, hopefully again sometimes soon.

To Mongo,etc MovieJoe, was writing of what is left of the studios in Hollywood these days. & speaking of just that. Though it's not exactly Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The actual studio that The Bowery Boys filmed most of their flix-(not including of course "Dead End Kids" "East Side Kids" stuff though)

Is still in use today.

 

As is Raleigh Studios-(it dates back to 1914 & the likes of *Mary Pickford-(1893-1979) & tv's legendary "Superman" series was filmed here as well!

(5300 Melrose Avenue)

 

& though not obviously a studio:

Bronson Caves-(Brush Canyon) is where tons of flix were filmed & used as backdrops. Including the jungle sequence from the original "King Kong" Most famously used for tv's "Batman" as entrance to the bat-cave. "Star Trek," shot footage around here. & tv's "Gunsmoke" & "Bonanza"

 

& just to touch on a couple legendary places still-standing>The long, long, stairway from "Laurel & Hardys," ACADEMY AWARD Winning: Best Comedy Short: "The Music Box" (1932)

It was also used in a 1940 "Three Stooges" Short.

Located 900 Block Vendome St.

 

I know this is not that exact topic, but I thought I would throw that info in there for all

The Stooges stairs from AN ACHE IN EVERY STAKE (1941) are a different set, but like the MUSIC BOX stairs (which were also used for L&H's HATS OFF in 1929 and Billy Bevan's ICE COLD COCOS in 1926), they are also located in the Silver Lake section of LA.

 

L&H MUSIC BOX stairs

3278 Descanso Dr. (top of stairs) and 923-935 Vendome St. (bottom of stairs). The Vendome location is about 1-1/2 blocks from the intersection of Vendome & Sunset Blvd., on the south side of Sunset.

 

Three Stooges AN ACHE IN EVERY STAKE stairs

From Sunset & Vendome, travel east on Sunset for a few blocks, and turn left onto Alvarado St.; Alvarado merges into Glendale Blvd. Left on Glendale, go a couple blocks, and right onto Alessandro St. (just past the Jack in the Box that sits on the site of the old Sennett Keystone Studios). A couple hundred yards, left onto Fair Oak View; go to the end of the street, and turn right; 1/2 block, and you'll see the stairs at 2200 Fair Oak View Terrace.
