This image is a still taken from a 1924 silent short called “Lizzies of the Field.” This particular scene was captured somewhere on Glendower Ave which is the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles, near Griffith Observatory. It offers us an elevated view of Hollywood off into the southwest distance. The building to the immediate right of the streetlight is the Taft building at Hollywood and Vine, and had only just opened the year before. Next to it is the Plaza Hotel at 1633 Vine St, which was under construction at the time, and didn’t open until October 15, 1925. In fact, from this image we can see that Hollywood already had a number of high-rises by the early 1920s. (Oh, and let’s not forget that cute rumble seat in back of that roadster!)
