		ABC does not offer a guided tour of the studio, and it is not open to the public, which is a shame, considering the studio's record in broadcasting, and the history of its east Hollywood studio.
		Vitagraph was one of the first companies to produce motion pictures in Hollywood (using Thomas Edison's original equipment); they had come out to the west coast to escape the bad weather in New York, back in the days of silent movies.
		Although NBC Studios (in the Valley) and CBS TV City (in Hollywood) both invite the public in to watch live tapings as members of a live studio audience, that's not the case with ABC.

		Vitagraph Studios moved here in 1906 from lower Manhattan, where it was founded in the late 1890s; Cecil DeMille, Rudy Valentino, Moe Howard, and Leon Trotsky (who spent time in NYC in 1917 after being ousted from Spain for fomenting revolution there; failing as an actor, he soon started fomenting anew) made films here.
		When the studios arrived in 1906, Midwood was still indeed in the middle of the woods and was considered ideal for outdoor shoots.
		Vitagraph moved to Hollywood in 1925, was sold to Warner Brothers and became Vitaphone (which name appears at the end of Warner Brothers' classic cartoons in the 1930s and 1940s.) The old studios were used intermittently by NBC until 1959.
