Larchmont Theater, 149 N. Larchmont Blvd., Los Angeles, circa 1930

A line of almost identical automobiles are parked alongLarchmont Boulevard near Paramount studios (and all of them are facing out!) in what was probably 1930. The double bill playing at the Larchmont Theater is impressive. In Old Arizona was the first talkie shot outdoors (although, ironically, not in Arizona.) Hallelujah was the first black-cast film produced in Hollywood, none of whom had performed in front of a camera before.And the fact that the program also featured a “sound cartoon” was important enough to fill the side marquee.
