From George Geary's indispensable "L.A.'s Legendary Restaurants," here's the (possibly reconstructed) Brown Derby's recipe for French Dressing to accompany your Cobb Salad (makes 3 cups):
3/4 cup red wine vinegar 1/4 cup water 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 2 tsp fresh lemon juice 1 tsp granulated sugar 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper 1 tsp Dijon mustard 3/4 tsp sea salt 1 clove garlic cut in half 1 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 cup canola oil Put everything but the oils in a food processor and puree. Drizzle oils in with motor running. Cover tightly and store in refrigerator for up to two weeks. Cheers, Earl |
My Family Estate South Pasadena
https://imageshack.com/a/img924/5686/U66K3a.jpg
My grandma's house back in 1948, Built in 1908, Possibly 1904. 1313 Garfield Ave. South Pasadena, CA. - John E. Marble Jr. Estate. Originally part of Rancho San Pascual (Mexican land grant). I have never been able to find any photos of the home prior to my grandfather (who owned El Leon De Oro Cantina previously known as Pontrellis Ballroom and before that Korbel Hall, 1866 E 1st St. In Boyle Heights) buying the very large estate in 1975. Other odds and ends I know from internet research (and mail we still get) is the original owner John Emerson Marble Jr. a Doctor of Law who attended Stanford, lived in the house with his wife a prominent collector of silverware (which is now housed at the nearby Huntington Library) and their daughter. John Emerson Marble Jr. was also the son of a Colonel, John M. C. Marble who served as one of the founding members of The National Bank of California and John Jr, later becoming vice president. via The Banking Law Journal, Volume 20 Would love to know more as I know my family owning the home is prob soon to come to an end as my grandmother gets older and the home is just much too big. Would love to see if anyone can help find more information or pictures! :) - Victor |

Here's a clearer vintage view of 1313 Garfield Avenue - this one's from 1937. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...rfieldAve1.jpg The full image appears to show the remnants of a fruit grove to the south east (I've arrowed 1313). It's gone by the 1948 image at Historic Aerials. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original mil.library.ucsb.edu Flight ID: C-4666, Frame: 86, Date: August 10, 1937. I think that the house in the dense trees of the fruit grove (the one with the long driveway) survives as 1460 Avonrea Road. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original GSV |

When we discussed Blue Palm Cafe earlier (in 2015), no one was able to find a photograph of the cafe actually in the Music Box Theater building. (to be honest, I thought it would have been on the right side of the building) I had the street numbers going up instead of down..... :worship: let's look at the napkin one last time. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/vlC8jQ.jpghttps://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/42aEFp.jpgebay What did ya'll think of the poem? __ |

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/8UAO6u.jpg detail Could this be the same.....Morrie Kaplan? June 26, 1952: Marilyn Monroe poses for photographers during trial against Jerry Karpman and Morrie Kaplan. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/1ilfD6.jpg The two men tried to sell “indecent” photos of young women including Marilyn Monroe. A story in the June 27, 1952 Los Angeles Times explained: "After actress Marilyn Monroe indignantly denied that she had penned come-on letters to promote the sale of “art studies” advertised as featuring her, two men who traded on her name were found guilty yesterday on five of nine misdemeanor charges against them. Municipal Judge Kenneth L. Holaday returned the guilty verdict against Jerry Karpman, 46, photographer, and Morrie Kaplan, 32, salesman, after the onetime calendar girl denied she had every met them. Miss Monroe examined some of the prosecution evidence, including handwritten letters signed with her name. The letters bore a printed return address, also bearing her name." https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/G1Cb4X.jpg Karpman got 30 days in City Jail and Kaplan 60 days and each was placed on two years’ probation.

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/924/ottCof.jpg From a post on a Facebook group which covers the history of Hollywood Legion Stadium. The post has some more information on the cafe(s) and it's owners Hugh Nichols (Promoter/Matchmaker at the Legion Stadium) and Morrie Kaplan. So two Blue Palm Cafes with locations close to each other. Did 6124 replace 6066 circa 1950/51 or did they operate concurrently for some period? :shrug: https://www.facebook.com/HollywoodLe...17560464971345 |
Just a Little Fun.

Here's a small bit of extra information. June 27, 1905 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/QAr3QF.jpg Los Angeles Herald, 27 June 1905 Do you think that could be the Hauser Packing Company water tower on the horizon? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/12atVK.jpg from the link provided by FW squint, and you'll see it. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/aoty2E.jpg detail This photograph is especially intriguing. from 1939 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/aDKwM0.jpgfrom the link provided by FW Photo text: In this bed stayed visiting notables. In it also was born Eliberto Arnaz, last of Don Jose’s 18 children. Penciled on the wall beside the bed are cartoons labeled “The Hated Kaiser” and “The Guy with the Loud Shirt.” On other cracked walls are scribblings and records of accounts. :previous: I don't understand who is writing on the walls? Did the farm house sit empty for a number of years before the Minorini family moved in? (see below) The Arnaz farmhouse was inhabitied by the Minorini family in the 1930s. "For the past 14 years the C. Minorini family has occupied the ‘‘palace,” as Mrs. Minorini terms it. When they moved in the bats and spiders moved out. They spent $700 making the lower floor habitable by covering the walls with plasterboard, putting in window glass, and installing plumbing, electric lights and gas. "The six bedrooms on the second floor are empty except for a massive bedstead. Mrs. Minorini said Abraham Lincoln was supposed to have slept in the bed – but Lincoln was dead before the house was built. Certain it is, however, that many notables visiting Los Angeles stayed in the old house and used the bed." "A gold moulding, as bright as the day it was put into place, runs around the ceiling of the front bedroom. This room with its many-shuttered bay window was occupied by Senora Maria Camarillo y Arnaz herself. She used to say that from her window she could see every light in Los Angeles and could count them all." from the The Beverly Hills Citizen, June 23, 1939 oh, & one last thing: Does anyone know what “The Guy with the Loud Shirt” is in reference to? (written on the bedroom wall) |

Santa Fe Avenue -- was to the east near what is now Hauser Blvd. and Venice Blvd. I wish I knew more about the Arnaz house, e_r. But I'll take a wild guess and say the water tower belongs to the Hillcrest Country Club. |
