In this circa 1940 photo, the Hollywood Bowl punctuates the open land of the Cahuenga Pass. Behind it, that diagonal line is the newly opened Hollywood Freeway (then known as the “Cahuenga Pass Freeway” with Pacific Electric Railway trolleys running down the center). Beyond that is the Pilgrimage Play Theatre, where the play was performed every summer from 1920 to 1929. It is now known as the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre.
