Harry Aitken bought the old Reliance studio and hired Mary Pickford as his first contract player. He promptly renamed the studio Majestic-Reliance. This was ca. 1912.
In 1913 Aitken formed an alliance with pioneering director D. W. Griffith and moved the operation to the old Kinemacolor studio in Hollywood.
(My only source for the address lists it as 515 E. 21st St., however that address has never existed, so my best guess is 515 W. 21st St., which would have been in the vicinity of other early silent studios).
