The following shot is the camera panning down from "The Broadway Hollywood" and "Plaza" signs to a long-since-demolished house:





All above: Monogram Pictures/Netflix

Secret Agent is as dreadful as most Monogram pictures, although I'm devoted to the James Wong, Detective series they did, especially the two with Marjory Reynolds.

Thank you too MR for the Wilshire Blvd. shots. Gorgeous.

The wicker seats took me back. Happy memories.

There's also a shot of Pershing Square in Secret Agent looking SE. I cannot recall knowing about the structure shown:
