Gloria Swanson acting is the detail that sets this image apart from the architectural views on the board, placing a performer in front of the city's built setting. Swanson became a major star in silent pictures made in Los Angeles during the 1910s and 1920s, when the studios were turning Hollywood into the center of American filmmaking. Her later role as the fading silent actress in *Sunset Boulevard* (1950) remains her most famous screen work. Scenes like this one pair the city's buildings with the performers who gave its movie industry its public face.
