Hollywood In The 1920s

[theadrii01]

good memeries



[ccipollini1984]

Makes me think of Intolerance, De Mille, Valentino and spirits

[ucla4eva]

@ccipollini1984 Nice one...yep Hollywood today is douchebaggery but the old stars still exist in and around

[Summerslam96]

@DMB1985CA the year? haha well there would be a little there considering the Spanish possessed the territory but I don't think it would be that interesting to see. I think footage from the late 1800's is as far back as you can go and that's pretty decent enough

[Sunshinestar]

People really did have class back then. ghetto/trash culture wasn't celebrated back then, and people carried themselves with poise and decency.

[ccipollini1984]

@Sunshinestar

in a nutshell

[MrMfloor]

People had class back then.

WAT SONG IS THIS?

[ltlwatcher]

The internet is also the time machine.

[Summerslam96]

@ltlwatcher

I never really thought of it like that but you're right

[kingz9916]

Klpeek: Carthay Circle, I believe, was around Olympic Blvd and Cresent Hgts Blvd.

Thank you.

Oh, yeah! Lupe Velez and a very lucky Gary Cooper...until she and Clara Bow almost murdered him sexually.

[StukInTexAss]

I guess "Hollywood" inludes, Burbank and Culver City.

Who's the guy with James Hall? (after Al Jolson, before Goerge Bancroft)

[vladimirhorowitz]

@DMB1985CA That'd be awesome...if there was an LA in 1500.

[lauraalittle]

Fabulous! I love It -- Bravo to you!!

[zombiesocks99]

Belive it or not, this is my grandmas favorite song called "hollywood stomp"! i even asked her :D

[adjusttint]

Who was that last couple?

[cacozzi84]

COOL!!!

[JAFZX1207]

What a great era and a LA/Hollywood that is long gone.....

[ItBrandonSilver]

Look how busy it was, even for 1920s standards.

[hornybodhisattva]

[lasuvidaboy]

Other than the Carthay Circle theatre and the Brown Derby, most of the buildings shown are still standing today.

Love the video, but that singing was like a cat who got its tail slammed in a door. Sorry

[cactusblue60]

@betty1114 That just goes with the territory. Singers before the advent of electronic recording in the mid '20s had to be able to outsing the instruments. Even after, that 'shouting" style was in vogue for several more years. It's very jarring to our ears today because we're so used to the more modulated style that came with using mics more, but it was common for the times.

[beatnikblonde]

Thanks for posting. My 4th grader just reaserached early Hollywood. This was great - she could see the theatres and other things she had learned about in class. Very helpful to bring History alive.

[bcbg8]

her voice is a nuisance ;s

[djkamel13]

holywood in 1920 similar to FRANCE in 2009

[1926valentino]

@djkamel13 haha no !

[larrynod]

wow. i live in hollywood, and i hardly recognized any of these places. how it's changed....

[mookindahouse]

1:15 the Carthay Circle theater. Torn down now, but there's rumors that they're rebuilding it

[klpeekl2000]

@mookindahouse They're rebuilding a full scale version of Carthay at Disney's California Adventure. It's going to be the main icon of the park.

[StukInTexAss]

@klpeekl2000 Carthay Circle? Wasn't it in North Hollywood? I still have recollectionsof it in the sixties.

[klpeekl2000]

@StukInTexAss It was but it's still going to be recreated in Anaheim.
