Hollywood and Sunset | VISTA Theater
A large crowd congregates outside of Bard's Hollywood Theatre to celebrate its grand opening in 1923. The marquee reads, "grand opening Hollywood's newest theatre[,] Tues. Oct. 9th special vod-vil feature program" and "Baby Peggy in 'Tips'", a 20 minute film directed by Arvid E. Gillstrom and shot at the Ambassador Hotel. The Egyptian Revival style theater, which was later renamed the Vista Theater, is located at 4473 Sunset Drive and was designed by architect Lewis A. Smith.

A crowd of people stand at the entranceway awaiting the grand reopening of the Egyptian revival style Vista Theater, featuring the 1934 version of "Cleopatra." Silent-film star Mary MacLaren (1896-1985) helped re-open the Vista.

To Sir With Love | Self-Portrait by Sir Cecil Beaton, 1930
Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.-Cecil Beaton

Bright Young Thing | Sylvia Townsend Warner by Cecil Beaton
She has always been perfectly shameless about reading letters not meant for her, and, as she said, she was ideally suited for the work by never having much inclination to answer letters back.
