The city lights of Hollywood and Santa Monica dot the background while Lake Hollywood reflects the beams in the foreground. Searchlights surround the Los Angeles Coliseum. Intersecting in the air above the structure, the beams split and are reflected skyward. A searchlight crew readies their light for a display. An array of over 20 lights creates a massive starburst effect.
Searchlight beams strike the base of the cloud ceiling, creating an effect resembling a flying disc.
A searchlight maintenance crew hard at work. Checking the chassis prior to moving a light into position. Lights criss-cross the sky at a War Bond Rally at Altadena, California. The Los Angeles Coliseum is illuminated during a welcome rally for American generals returning from the war. Los Angeles and the distant city of Long Beach lie spread out beneath the searchlight cone thrown from the Hollywood Bowl during a U. S. Treasury Department bond show.
