Nice find,
E_R. I knew about this place for years because the Academy Awards were held here "one time only" in 1949. But I had never seen a photo of it at all until
sopas ej did a post about it.
This is the first photo I've seen of the location in daylight.
sopas's post, linked below, has many photos of the building at the time of these academy awards, both inside and out. They're all, I believe, from Life Magazine.
Also a little bit of history about that and the building, which used to be the Marquis Theatre.

The address on Melrose is right before the triangle area where Melrose ends and runs into Doheny and Santa Monica Blvd., the boundary of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
