I can count at least half a dozen searchlights blazing along Hollywood Boulevard in this circa late 1920s shot. Those two spires toward the left hand end sat on top of the Warner Bros. Hollywood Theatre at 6433 Hollywood Boulevard, which housed the KFWB radio station. At the far right, we can see the tower of the Hollywood First National Bank building at Hollywood and Highland. With so much going on and with the street so brightly lit, I’m guessing this was the night of the Christmas parade, when the Boulevard was transformed into “Santa Claus Lane.” This first took place in 1928 so it’s even possible that this was the first one.
