This is the south side of the street where the Hollywood Theatre is playing a Lewis Stone movie called \u201cWhy Men Leave Home\u201d which was produced by a pre-MGM Louis B. Mayer Productions, and also featured a pre-columnist Hedda Hopper. The photo was taken before the theater was remodeled and acquired the angled marquee and blade neon sign that we see in a lot of later night shots of Hollywood Blvd. With lots of vehicles, streetcars, and pedestrians, it looks like Hollywood Blvd was quite a bustling thoroughfare in 1924.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql oi732d6d ik7dh3pa fgxwclzu a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id\" dir=\"auto\">The Hollywood Theatre is now the Guinness Book of World Records attraction.
