Thanks to a most generous donor, we have obtained some HPS publications from 1935. Many believe this was the first year the school used the name Hollywood Professional School. This is substantiated by noting that the publications in 1935 were designated as being part of Volume 1. The condition of these is not excellent, but they are quite readable, and provide a glimpse of all the activities at HPS then, as well as an insight into the Hollywood community at the time. Below we provide links to two publications, as examples.

HPS News March 18, 1935 Vol. 1 No. 1

HPS The GAB May 17, 1935 Vol. 1 No. 9

And to give you an idea of what Hollywood was like back then, here is a view of Hollywood Boulevard from the top of Grauman’s Chinese Theater in 1935.
