View down Broadway from a building at the SW corner of the intersection with 7th Street. Visible on the right are signs for the Boos Brothers Cafeteria, the Palace Theater, Schabe's, and Desmond's. Flags are suspended from cables over the intersection, including four United States flags and one flag for Cuba. A banner reads "Visit Your / Harbor / Feb. 22nd / Harbor Day / Trade / Week / Feb. 16-22." The intersection is packed with pedestrians and an electric railroad car is visible. The Palace Theatre, at 630 S Broadway, was built in 1911 as the third Los Angeles home of the Orpheum Vaudeville circuit. It was originally known as the "Orpheum" and is the oldest remaining Orpheum theatre in the country. Renamed the Palace Theatre in 1926, it became a silent movie house and later added sound.
