The Hollywood film industry drew émigré composers to Los Angeles.

Evidence

In the spring of 1942, Hanns Eisler came to Los Angeles from New York as well, also because of the film industry. Schoenberg had been living there since 1934, a composer without a public, but with a professorship at the University of California at Los Angeles where the students mostly studied music as a minor subject. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 1213
