Vine Street in Hollywood has been photographed countless times over the decades since those movie people came to town, but I never would have recognized it in this photo. We’re looking south down Vine across Selma Ave in 1923. I see no landmarks that I recognize. However, we can juuuuuust glimpse on the left hand side at the Selma Ave corner the Lasky Studios that grew out of the barn that Cecil B. DeMille rented so that he could make “The Squaw Man” which was the first feature film to be made in Hollywood.

The same view in April 2019 – that’s quite a change, isn’t it?
