Description |
Photograph of a view of Broadway looking south from Eighth Street from the east side, Los Angeles, 1928. The Tower Theatre stands at the end of the street to the left, its clock tower reading approximately thirty-nine minutes after two o'clock, behind which the Southern California Music Company building, Wurlitzer building, Platt Music Company building and the New Orpheum can be seen, respectively. Automobiles, pedestrians and a cable-car navigate the street to the right. The marquee of the Tower reads "Glorious Betsy / A Talking Picture / Dolores Costello Glorious Betsy / Burtnetss Orchestra" and "Harold Lloyd in Speedy". Other legible signs include from left to right: "Comet's", "Orange Drink", "Pianos [...] 20-50%", "Baldwin", "[F]ederal Outfitting", "Coca-Cola", "Gas", "Sunday", and "We Sell Homes Payable Like Rent". |
