HOLLYWOOD

 

From Blue Book of the Screen (1923)

THIS picture is a continuation of "Hollywood on the Boulevard" and looks right down the famous pathway into the business district.

In spite of appearing to be closely built, there is not a home, apartment house or bungalow court that is not surrounded by spacious gardens giving the entire suburb a uniform beauty.

The business district supports many banks. Every Los Angeles bank has a branch there, and the Security Trust and Savings Bank erected a ten-story building at the corner of Cahuenga and Hollywood Boulevard which is the crossroads of Southern California.

At the present time there are three twelve-story buildings being erected in this village that started out to be the exclusive section of residences. Hollywood supports one of the largest athletic clubs in the South with a membership roll of celebrities that challenges any other private organization in the country. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has made its city a recognized center of the fourth industry in the world.
