The huge arched orange-red 'HOLLYWOOD' wordmark dominates, flanked by two white starbursts carrying red slogans - '1st 2 CAN PLAY' on the left and 'IT'S MORE FUN TO COMPETE' on the right. Second most memorable is the film-soundstage scene filling the lower half: a huge blonde woman with a red rose in her hair looking at a 'BALL IN PLAY' card in the left foreground, and a large brunette showgirl in a dark red bodice and white feather boa seated centre-right. Third, a blue staircase climbs the centre of a tan colonnaded studio facade up to a green box with a white star and a tiny operator perched on top. Fourth, a black-and-white 35mm camera on a tripod at right, aimed at a line of scantily-clad stage women.

A wide painted movie-palace backglass. Across the top, a royal-blue panel with a small green border carries the word 'Williams' in yellow script at left, and beneath it the huge arched title 'HOLLYWOOD' in orange-and-red block capitals with cream and black outline and a white drop shadow. Top-left is a white five-pointed starburst reading '1st 2 CAN PLAY' in red; top-right a matching starburst reading 'IT'S MORE FUN TO COMPETE' in red. The mid-band shows a cream-and-tan colonnaded studio facade with green striped awnings, a blue-tiled staircase rising centre-frame, and a green box at the top of the stairs with a white star on it and a small operator seated above it. Two large white trapezoidal score windows with red and black scalloped borders sit left and right, each under a red oval numbered '1' or '2', and each above a red oval reading '1st PLAYER' / '2nd PLAYER'. The lower half is a blue soundstage floor crowded with nine women: a large blonde head in left foreground with a red rose in her hair beside a white 'BALL IN PLAY' card, and a large brunette pin-up in a dark red frilled showgirl bodice and white feather boa seated centre-right. Around them stand smaller costumed women in blue, red and white stage outfits, one beside a ladder, one beside a yellow director's chair, and one operating a black-and-white film camera on a tripod at right. A blue strip along the very bottom reads 'SCORE 1' and 'SCORE 2'. The bottom edge is cropped by the photo.
