This postcard view shows us the lights along Hollywood Boulevard around the famous Hollywood and Vine intersection. The view was taken from the Hollywood Hills looking southeast, and we can just make out the sign of the Hollywood Broadway store to the right of the center of the picture. Evidently, some movie was getting its big premiere that night—unless those searchlights were added in using the 1940s version of Photoshop, which is, of course, quite possible in the city that refined the art of hoopla and ballyhoo.
