| 2. SHOOTING A MOVIE SCENE A motion picture camera crew, with their camera on a boom that can follow the action from any angle, is preparing to shoot the Circus! A climate that allows outdoor photography all year 'round and a variety of terrain that enables film producers to duplicate any scenery in the world has built up the movie industry around Hollywood..Radio and television, in search of talent, followed in its wake. Although just a suburb of Los Angeles, Hollywood is much better known throughout the world. Tourists ignore downtown L.A. to see Movie Star footprints in the cement at Grauman's Chinese, the shops of Wilshire Boulevard, the night spots of the Sunset Strip, the homes of the Stars in Beverly Hills, and the monsters at the La Brea Tar Pits. 3. BLACK GOLD AT SIGNAL HILL Forests of oil well derricks like this one at Signal Hill near Long Beach dot Los Angeles, Ventura, Kern, Fresno, Orange and Santa Barbara counties. This field has produced 8% of California's oil. Along the shores at Long Beach, from piers built far out into the waves or from wells drilled at an angle seaward, tideland oil wells are pumping 15 million barrels of oil per year from under the ocean. 4. FLOWERS AT LAGUNA BEACH 3d Viewmaster Along the coast about one-third the way from Los Angeles to San Diego is much-painted Laguna Beach. The town is crowded between a rocky coast and steep hills with artists' studios,' quaint shops and beach homes lining its warm, sunny sands. 5. BEACH AND AUDITORIUM, LONG BEACH in 3d Viewmaster Convention-wooing Long Beach does its Atlantic counterpart one better by holding an annual "Miss Universe" contest to match Atlantic City's Miss America Pageant. California's fifth largest city (250,762 pop. 1950) is a seaside resort of towering apartments and hotels, a haven for retired persons who were first to sponsor the Townsend old-age pension plan, and a shipping and industrial center on San Pedro Bay. |
