Yesterday’s shot was of Paramount and today it’s RKO’s turn. This is the Gower St. entrance of the RKO Studios, located on the corner of Gower and Melrose adjacent to the Paramount lot (and now a part of it). RKO came into being in October 1928 when RCA acquired the theater chains of Keith–Albee–Orpheum as well as the film production company and merged them to form a new company called RKO (Radio-Keith-Orpheum). This photo was taken the year of the merger. The entrance is still there but looks a little different these days.
