    Trem Carr was a producer at Monogram and
    so loaned out his ranch for the movies
    The June 4, 1931, issue of The Newhall Signal
    stated that "Placerita Canyon has become quite a movie center.



    At the Jones ranch [see below],
    Andy Jauregui Ranch
    a village street has been built for the use of companies making
    ‘Westerns’ which are much in vogue right now.
    The Trem Carr company has also obtained a lease on a ranch,
    and is planning a ‘five year program’ ...
    This is next to the Jones tract."



    Ernie Hickson (see Placeritos Ranch) built a western street
    on the Carr property, using aged lumber from Nevada,
    and a Spanish hacienda.



    The western street was situated in an east/west orientation
    with the Spanish hacienda a short distance to the east of it.




    Republic Pictures was formed in 1935 by combining
    several film companies, one of which being Monogram Pictures.
    Within a year, Carr and Johnston walked away from
    Republic and reformed Monogram.
    Around this same time, Carr lost the lease on his
    property in Placerita Canyon.




    The October 15, 1936, issue of The Newhall Signal stated
    that "the Trem Carr Studio is being moved this week to a
    10-acre tract of land near the Glen Farnsworth Ranch,
    about half a mile from its former location.
    The nearness of oil wells compelled the move.


    " This new location was the Hickson Ranch
    (see Placeritos Ranch)




    One of the last uses of the western street was
    for the Laurel & Hardy feature, Way Out West.
