Monkey Island, Hollywood, California - 1940s (8mm)

I've been on an "L.A. photos" website for years and some of us have been obsessed with finding out anything we can about Monkey Island. Photographs, film, stories, maps, brochures...anything. I've seen some short footage from newsreels of the day and there are some photos, but not a great many. This is the first time I've ever seen anything, photos or film, in color! I am flabbergasted! The opening pan of the attraction's marquee is just stunning. To me anyway. Thank you so, so much for this, well...Christmas present!!!
