This circa 1935 nighttime view of Sardi’s restaurant at 6315 Hollywood Boulevard must have been very late at night because the restaurant appears to be closed. To the right, Carl Laemmle from Universal has rented out the space above the Sloat-Dennis Furniture store to advertise his latest cinematic offerings. To the left we can see part of the neon sign for Joseph Pollock. It’s visible in other shots of Sardi’s but I don’t know what they sold. Does anybody know?
UPDATE: Pollock sold ladies coats:

And I knew the man that owned Showgirls.
The present day view is painful to see compared with the 1930’s view.
It really is, isn’t it, Gordon?!?
