From 1953 to 1972, the Hollywood Bowl had a half-moon-shaped reflecting the pool in front of the stage. It also came with dancing waters and an elaborate fountain that entertained audiences during the intermission. They dismantled it because the moisture wreaked havoc  with some of the musical instruments. Plus, let’s be honest, it allowed them to build boxed seating which they could charge a premium for because they offered the best view. So I don’t blame for getting rid of the pool, but as this 1959 shot shows, it must have been awfully pretty the way it reflected the Bowl’s concentric circles. (That light in the top right corner is known as the Hollywood Cross, which is a 32-foot cross above the Ford Amphitheater, which was built in 1923.)
