Hollywood Professional School
Hollywood Professional School (also known as Hollywood Conservatory of Music and Arts) was a private school in Hollywood, California, for children working in show business, operating mornings only so that the children could work in the afternoon. It operated from 1935 and closed down in 1984 due to insufficient enrollment and the death of the owner that same year.
