Description: View of the entrance to Universal City movie studio with administrative buildings in view, which was promoted as a tourist destination. A woman is seen next to a sign "University City 'Capital of the Film World'" and an automobile, and several people are near the gated entrance.
Title devised by cataloger based on text on image. Date devised by history of Universal City. In 1915, Carl Laemmle opened his new movie studio, Universal City, which spread south from Lankershim Boulevard across today’s main studio complex in the San Fernando Valley. Now home to Universal Studios theme park and the largest film production facility in the world ("Universal City turns 100 years old," L.A. Daily News, March 4, 2015).
