Behind the Sunset Towers is one of my Hollywood fantasies, the 1937 Brandon Hall apartments on De Longpre. The A. Krisel noted in the
Times caption above was Alexander Krisel, who was the major distributor of movies to Far East markets up to about 1937. His son William was an architect who designed the Brandon Plaza (below) around the corner from and backing up to the Hall--both were properties of the senior Krisel. I wouldn't kick the Plaza out of my waterbed, but I much prefer the Hall. Great interior shot of it here:
