Delos Diary

There has been a noticeable lapse in the sequence of our informal news bulletins during the past few weeks. The reason: Delos International has moved from one end of Hollywood Boulevard to the other. Our offices, which were located at Hollywood and Vine in what was once a leading department store — The Broadway-Hollywood — boasted a fine view of the Capitol Tower and the famed Hollywood sign. Our new offices are at Hollywood and Highland and are directly across the street from the Kodak Theatre of Academy Award renown, and Grauman's Chinese movie palace. We are in the historic El Capitan building with the entire second floor at our disposal.
The move was not easy and not voluntary.
The rather shabby Hollywood and Vine building is being converted into residential lofts by its New York-based corporate owners who seem to envision a new Tribeca-type neighborhood developing at the site. We think they're in for a surprise, but who's to know for sure.
The view from the large windows in the new office is quite exhilarating. Just across the boulevard the two famous theatre facades, the Chinese and the Kodak, vie with specialty shops and the grandiose Babylonian staircase leading into the courtyard of the Hollywood & Highland shopping complex. All of these attractions are enhanced by the presence of hundreds and hundreds of pedestrians, tourists, guides, celebrity doubles and bewindered natives mulling about from morning till night. It's almost a West Coast version of Times Square.
The new Delos quarters will eventually prove a more efficient space and morale booster for the entire staff. Nearly everyone is finally together in one place on one floor. Fitting the contents and documentations of the last ten years into the very different layout will test the stamina, ingenuity and patience of everyone involved, but it is already succeeding.
Hopefull, new exciting releases on Delos will be issuing from this elegant headquarters in a very short time. The only problem — getting staff members to stop staring out the windows at the glamorous crowds strolling past just below.
The new address: 6834 Hollywood Boulevard, Suite 200, Hollywood, CA 90028. Phones unchanged.
