This rather forlorn Christmas tree is actually quite historical. It was set up on the stage of the Hollywood Bowl before the Bowl even had a shell. Although the Bowl officially opened on July 11, 1922, a number of performances took place on the stage (it was little more than just a wooden platform) in late 1921, when this photograph was taken. It’s quite a stark contrast to how the Bowl looks these days.

I thought the auto-colorizer did a pretty good job bringing this scene to life.
