Here are some 1950s/60s slides that I found on eBay. They're all from the same seller, and the seller says that all their slides were taken by the same person. I've included the seller's description with each one.
Can we ever have enough pictures of the NBC building at Sunset and Vine? "Original LOS ANGELES Vintage SLIDE Hollywood [sic] & Vine NBC STUDIOS Street Scene" http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...C.jpg~original eBay 'Goldfinger' had its Hollywood release on Christmas Day 1964. Michael Caine's 'The Ipcress File' was released in the UK in March 1965, but wasn't seen in the US until August of that year. "Vintage 1965 Original SLIDE Los Angeles GRAUMAN'S CHINESE Street Scene HOLLYWOOD" http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...s.jpg~original eBay Preston Sturges and The Players Restaurant have both appeared before on NLA, but I don't remember seeing this shot.

This is a bit of a mystery. "1920s, Trolley on Wheels, Movie Ads, Hollywood, Los Angeles." -'trolley' is advertising MGM's 'The Big Parade' at Grauman's Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/538/Gl1NxS.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/N1-C-1920S-N...item566e78cb89 Anyone have an idea where this might have been taken?

The minimum hourly wage in 1942 was 30 cents an hour. A full steak dinner with soup, salad, potatoes, dessert and coffee in a restaurant in 1942 was $1.75. A hamburger at a Sunset Blvd. drive-in was about 15 cents...add 5 cents for a Coke. Now you're a big-spender.!!! |

Coincidentally, earlier this evening I was searching the web for a copy of The Kraft Music Hall radio program from Christmas Day, 1941, and I stumbled across this slightly painful anecdote about something that happened at NBC's Hollywood location. [source] |
