This night photo looking east along Hollywood Blvd from around Highland Ave is a buffet of neon lights. We can see: a travel ticket office, the Vogue Theatre, Warner Bros. Theatre and radio towers, Equitable building, Pantages Theatre, Taft building, The Broadway department store, Kress department store, Grauman’s Egyptian Theater, Pig’N Whistle restaurant, and the Hollywood Theatre, which was playing a Margaret Sullavan movie from Columbia called “No Sad Songs for Me” which came out in April 1950.

Interesting the way use of a long telephoto lens compacts the distance between Highland Ave. and Vine St. It appears that the Warners Theatre and Broadway Hollywood are across the street from one another.
Ah, so that’s why it looks all squished up into just a couple of city blocks. Thanks, Jim.
