There are a couple of things worth noting in this photo of Hollywood Blvd looking east in 1934: on the left, the vacant lot next to Grauman’s Chinese Theatre is a parking lot called System Auto Parks which offers all-day parking on Hollywood Blvd for 15 cents. The banner across the street is for a Fox film starring Loretta Young called “The White Parade.” It’s a movie about student nurses (the white in the title refers to their uniform) but I suspect is a movie title like that wouldn’t fly these days. Context is everything!
