It was originally built by Famous Players-Lasky in 1920 to provide the company with a facility close to the Broadway theater district. Many features and short subjects were filmed here between 1920 and 1933. The two most famous movies to be shot here during that period are The Cocoanuts (1929) and Animal Crackers (1930) the first two Marx Brothers films. It was also known as Astoria Studio and Paramount Studio. After Paramount Pictures moved all studio operations to California in 1932 the Astoria location was turned over to independent producers whose films were released through Paramount.2
