Even though we know this is Hollywood (that's the Warner Theater with the tower on the right), and we know it's somewhere along Hudson street (there's a sign),

We're south of the Boulevard on Schrader. I can't explain the sign (above) unless the street name was changed at some point. Schrader
almost lines up w/ Hudson. Neither cross Hollywood Blvd (Schrader running south of it and Hudson to the north):

That's the
Hudson Apartments, formerly the Hillview (Parcher & Strong 1916-20). It was financed by Lasky and Goldwyn and is no stranger to the thread:

Here's a reference to the street name change:

P.P.S.
And this from LAT:
