Los Angeles Transit Lines car no. 687 rolls inbound on the H line just east of Hoover Street.

From Ralph Cantos:

The H line was very popular, and was well patronized, but the powers in charge at the "new" LATL didn't give a damn, and the H line was an early LATL abandonment. The #44 bus line on nearby Beverly Blvd was called upon to "pick up the slack."...
