Although perhaps not the clearest photo ever taken, this one gives us a glimpse of what it was like to walk along Hollywood Boulevard at night in 1937. In this one shot we can see the lights of the Egyptian Theater, the Pig and Whistle Cafe, the Hotel Christie, and the Citizens Bank. Remarkably, I think only the bank building is no longer there. The double bill on the Egyptian marquee was “Life Begins in College” and “Counsel for Crime” with played the second week of November, 1937.
