The district passed over in going to these beaches has been named Hollywood. It is a part of Los Angeles. The community, grown like a mushroom, now holds one hundred thousand souls, ten thousand of which are directly interested in the motion picture business. The main thoroughfare in Hollywood is called Hollywood Boulevard. It is a comparatively short street, branching off from Sunset Boulevard and running thereafter two blocks from Sunset and parallel to it. At the intersection of Sunset and Hollywood Boulevards still stands, though it is about to be obliterated owing to a recent fire, a wooden building, not large and not spacious, labelled with the title, Chester A. Bennett Studios,—a building that has some history attached to it, since it was originally the home of David Wark Griffith's activities, among the earliest in recent Hollywood history. en Q380675 en Film industries en metonym The American motion picture industry, regardless of location. en Hollywoodland<q:historical> en 2013-06-29 407 8842 55 w:The Economist http://www.economist.com/news/international/21580191-edward-snowdens-odyssey-leaves-america-nonplussed-and-its-allies-dismayed-russia-china Travels and travails Even without hovering drones, a lurking assassin, a thumping score and a denouement, the real-life story of Edward Snowden, a rogue spy on the run, could be straight out of the cinema.
