Traditional Old Hollywood

Hollywood from the beginning has kept most anyone glued to the movie screens since the beginning of motion pictures. If we think about it, most of what we see on the big screen comes from books, Broadway theater, vaudeville acts, comedy tours. We typically think of Old Hollywood before we were able to hear actors/actresses in character relying on silent caption writing and attempting to master lip reading if we were able to do so. Music accompaniment was played on early piano's by someone sitting off to the side. Sing a long's were encouraged when lyrics were provided during the film or after. We traditionally think of black and white. We think of the easy free travels. We think mostly as well as the Hollywood signs we see. Old Hollywood was more than those things. We can't discount their part in how profitable Hollywood has become. Above are cars traveling dirt roads, in the beginning of Hollywood, these cars were modeled from the early 1900 hundred to maybe 1930'
