Description
Photograph of a view of Hollywood Boulevard looking east from the Roosevelt Hotel, February 1929. Automobiles and cable-cars navigate the four-lane boulevard, flanked to either side by highrise business buildings. The entrance to Grauman's Chinese Theatre is visible in the lower left corner, while the tower of what appears to be a hotel flies a flag from its spire, further down the street. Legible signs include: "Bess Schlank Furs Gowns & Wraps", "Dr. Lyon, D.C.", "Hotel Christiela", "Barker Bros.", "El Capitan Theatre", "Ming", and "Myer Siegel & Co.". Mountains are visible in the background.
