IMDB lists a (made for TV) Movie that likely aired on January 29, 1956 called "
Inside Beverly Hills."
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2024435/...f_=tt_ov_st_sm Not having viewed it, it appears to commemorate BH's 50 year anniversary. Since BH was incorporated in 1914, one presumes the anniversary refers to when the area was first formally named BH (by the Rodeo Land and Water Co.) in or around 1906. Below are some images from the production of the show entitled "Beverly Hills Anniversary TV show."

FWIW, the 1956 CD has three listing for Romanoff's restaurant and wine/gift shop -
all at
140 S Rodeo. This would have put it on the east side of Rodeo adjacent to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Some sources indicate Romanoff's was originally at
326 N Rodeo with additional and alternate addresses at 140 S. and later
240 S. Rodeo.
Romanoff's Wine and Gift Shop
"140"
Beverly Wilshire Pool.
Prominent product placement.
Did someone say "Dagmar?"
Some jaywalkers are just plain lucky.
Probably should have spent less time at the Wine shop or could have gotten to the Shelter sooner.

George Raft telephoning the Sahara. Lawrence Welk probably
not holding for Spade Cooley.
Beverly Hills' "
South Side Story?"
"The Derby House"
