A shot from "What Price Taxi" (Hal Roach/MGM, 1932), a two reel short directed by Del Lord. We're looking north on Broxton Ave. toward the Fox Westwood Village Theatre. The film was one of several in a series of "Taxi Boys" films made by Hal Roach. This one features Franklin Pangborn, Clyde Cook and Billy Gilbert.
Another shot in a bit closer on Broxton.
A look at the Weyburn side of the theatre from the film. Thanks to Chris Bungo Studios for the screenshots.
For more about the theatre, see the Los Angeles Theatres pages on the Fox Westwood Village. It opened in 1931.
