MOVIE MAKERS 259 The autographs can be traced with the girl's hand. Back two blocks to Highland, then north on Highland, and we are at the Hollywood Bowl. The statue at the entrance is best filmed from across the street; then we walk up Pepper Tree Lane, catching the laciness of leaves where the sun is shining through. Climb to the last row of seats in The Hollywood Bowl and shoot down to the shell and the stage. From July 1 through September 10 it is possible to secure some daytime audience shots. Also, five nights each week, during this period, the Bowl is filled with music lovers, and spectacular night shots can be made from the top of the Bowl and from the high side of the parking area behind the shell. Return south on Highland to Third Street, then go west to Fairfax, passing up prosaic restaurants for a lunch in a Glorified Grocery Store — The Farmers Market — the penultimate of all outdoor markets in Los Angeles. Walk up and down the "streets," shooting closeups of the luscious foodstuffs, tropical birds, goldfish and many other gaudily brilliant items. Select your food from various stalls and eat under a gay umbrella in a sunny patio, having your camera ever ready to get shots of movie stars and other famous people who are doing their marketing and having lunch too. Continue west on Third to La Cienega, then north to Sunset right to Crescent Heights Boulevard, about ten blocks, make a "U turn" and start your pictures of the "Sunset Strip." Shoot right and left as you choose the shops, restaurants and nightclubs, to the 9400 block. Next turn left down Palm Drive to Santa Monica Boulevard, make a "U turn" and start your tour of the homes of motion picture people, following the detailed guide sheets obtainable at the All Year Club at 517 West Sixth Street, in downtown Los Angeles. Two and a half to three hours through tree lined streets, up and down hillsides, where some homes spread their grounds over twenty acres, and you are in Westwood Village. Return east on Wilshire from the Village to La Cienega, then north, shooting a few of the famous restaurants from Wilshire to Sunset, and continue east on Sunset. To complete your Hollywood sequence, take the pretty girls you shot at the Beverly Hills Hotel and the Bel Air Hotel (while visiting the movie stars' homes), at the Beverly Wilshire, the Ambassador, the beaches and along the way, and weave them into the scenes that represent Hollywood. * * * If your sojourn in the City of the Angels coincides with the July 7 meeting of the Los Angeles Cinema Club, by all means, as a visiting fireman, ar AMPRO 8MM PROJECTOR Model A-8 Easy threading.
