ONE NIGHT OF LOVE (1934) 279 On page 10 we showed you a photograph of Wilcox Avenue, Hollywood, looking toward Hollywood Boulevard, as it appeared in the 90's. Here is an airplane view of that same spot as it appeared in 1935. Wilcox Avenue is the first cross thoroughfare at the bottom of the picture, with Hollywood Boulevard cutting a perpendicular line almost exactly down the center. Although most of the important studios have moved to less thickly populated districts, the name Hollywood still means motion pictures the world over. It is a geographical curiosity in that it has no official existence, being merely a comparatively small district of the sprawling city of Los Angeles. BELOW Hollywood's first nights were world-famous, and the most spectacular of all occurred at Grauman's Chinese Theater, on Hollywood Boulevard. Here is a night shot of a typical premiere at the Chinese. Notice the lights of the long line of cars on their way to the entrance, the cordon of police, and the crowd awaiting the arrival of the screen stars.
