These images were shot by my father, Ed Alinder, on 35mm Kodachrome film in Southern California in 1940-44, and on a visit in 1947.

Amazing images. The Republic lot later became Revue during the late 50s, Four Star and eventually CBS Radford …. I’m trying to figure out what vantage point this was taken from, though.

I recently read the very detailed and very good biography about John Wayne by Randy Roberts (1997). His association with Republic Studios was written about extensively. So….I was very pleased to view the wonderful photos of Republic from the 40′s. Good stuff!! Thanks.
