Here is a very interesting photograph available on eBay
It shows the southeast corner of Sunset and Vine in 1930.

We know this because it's written on the reverse.
The sleuth in me has been trying to decipher the large billboard.

What I see (what I
think I see) is. . .umm. . .Clara Bow(?) in a clown outfit and the word "SWEETIE". What I
don't see is the title of the movie.
And lastly let's examine the left side of the photograph.
As you can see there are still private homes along Sunset (I'm not sure how long they'll last after 1930). There's a "For Lease" sign in front of the narrow white building next to the house.
