It looks like this photo looking east down Hollywood Boulevard was probably taken from the fire escape of the Hotel Christie on the corner of McCadden Place. It was taken in 1934 when the feature movie playing at the Egyptian Theater next door was Melody in Spring – a Paramount musical starring Charles Ruggles and Mary Boland. But what really caught my eye was the Myer Siegel & Co sign across the street. Myer Siegel was women’s clothing store, which I usually associate with their large store in the Dominguez-Wilshire Building on Wilshire Blvd.
More beautiful sidewalk awnings on the storefronts! I love those things.
Yes! You don’t see those as much any more!
