Week End in Hollywood

It's only Wednesday, but I see TCM is running a new-to-me short, Week End in Hollywood, today a little following 1:30 PM, or just after Gaslight. This one was apparently originally produced back in the late 1940s as a tourist promotion to get people to visit the place, what with tourism becoming rather more common as the economy improved after World War II.

I don't think I've seen this one before. I've seen a whole bunch of shorts, and I know in some movies such as Bette Davis' The Star, there are scenes doing the the tour of actors' homes. But this title sounds unfamiliar to me, but the actual name and the brief IMDb synopsis.
