We almost get a streetcar view of the marquee and vertical of the Hollywood Theatre, 6764 Hollywood Blvd., in the documentary short "Hollywood: City of Celluloid" (1932). It's hiding behind a Christmas tree. The film was produced and photographed by Sten Nordensklold.
For more on the theatre head to the page about the Hollywood Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres website.
A view west on Hollywood Blvd. with a banner across the street advertising Joe E. Brown in "Local Boy Makes Good," a November 1931 release playing at the Warner, 6433 Hollywood Blvd.
A 1931 look east toward the entrance of the Warner from the film. See the many pages about the Warner Hollywood on the Los Angeles Theatres site for hundreds of photos of various areas of the building.
The film also gives an interesting tour of Beverly Hills and visits to several studios. It's included as an extra on the DVD of the 1995 Morgan Neville / Harry Pallenberg film "Shotgun Freeway: Drives Through Lost L.A."
On IMDb: "Hollywood: City of Celluloid" "Shotgun Freeway"
