It has come to the attention of many that there are plans to remove and destroy the Historic 'Stage 28' on the Universal Studios back-lot to make room for further development. Constructed in 1924 for the legendary "Phantom Of The Opera" starring Lon Chaney Sr. the interior recreation of the Paris Opera House is the single oldest remaining set in all of Hollywood and a unique memorial to the Golden Age of American Cinema. Stage 28 represents a lasting and physical reminder of the artistic and creative feats of some of American Films most legendary individuals. It serves as an inspiration for those both in and out of the movie industry and changed the lives of so many. For these reasons, and many more, it deserves the unique and staying distinction of National Historic Landmark Status.
