Gallery Labels
"Occasionally, the streets of Hollywood become the setting for a cherished native ritual—the Hollywood Premiere. The Premiere is a carefully prepared spontaneous display of affection between stars and audience. Except for a new picture, in whose honor the shindig is given, there is little variation. The stars come, are seen, sign and scamper."
—Weegee, Naked Hollywood
