Second Thanhouser Studio
Image
Production still showing how three or more silent film scenes could be simultaneously filmed under the glass roof of the Thanhouser studio. The print is captioned "Thanhouser 2nd Studio," suggesting that this is the interior of the Thanhouser studio built on Main Street in New Rochelle, New Jersey, to replace the first studio which burned in 1913. Visible are actors in costume, directors, cameramen, sets, a Klieglight, and four Pathé silent film cameras.
