User:Vintage Harpist/draft article on raleigh studios

note: Today I was searching for information on Raleigh Studios and was surprised that there was no page for it on wikipedia. So I joined and am creating a draft article for it. First I updated the Famous Players Film Company entry to provide additional information related to Raleigh Studios.

article draft: Raleigh Studios was opened in February of 1915 at 5300 Melrose Ave. in Hollywood, California. At the time it operated under the name Famous Players Fiction Studios, which was run by Famous Players Films. It became Clume Studios at some point in the 1920's. California Studio Prudential Studios (in the 30s- see http://www.imdb.com/search/text?realm=title&field=locations&q=5300+Melrose+Avenue ) Enterprise Studios (in the 40s- see http://www.imdb.com/search/text?realm=title&field=locations&q=5300+Melrose+Avenue ) Producers Studios Inc. (verified operating as such in 1976) It became Raleigh Studios in 1980
