This slice-of-life photo gives us a glimpse of downtown Los Angeles early in WWII. We’re looking north up Hill Street to the 7^th Street intersection where 2000-seat Warner Bros. Downtown Theatre stood. (It’s still there but is a jewelry store now.) The double bill at the time was “Lady For a Night” (released January 1942) and “The Male Animal” (released April 1942) so the people we can see here were still adjusting to life a few months after Pearl Harbor. I wonder if that’s the photographer’s bicycle we can see leaning on the curb.
