This crowd was lined up along Sunset Boulevard east of Vine Street in Hollywood in 1944, but it’s hard to know what they were lining up for because that was a very busy stretch of Sunset back then. They could conceivably have been waiting to be in the audience for a radio show at NBC (corner of Sunset & Vine) or CBS (corner of Sunset & Gower) or perhaps even a show at the Hollywood Palladium (Sunset & El Centro.) Together with the Earl Carroll Theater, we can see in the background, it was the busiest three blocks in Hollywood!
