After taking a second look at e_r's poster, and comparing it to the one I posted, I think the text at the bottom is likely to say "SPIRIT SEANCES" and "UNDER FLOODLIGHTS". |
:previous: I had NO idea these 1930's era midnight 'spook shows' existed. I would have definitely attended.

A very 'chic' late 1950s billboard for Robinson's.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/661/1TONiD.jpg eBay I'm curious about the sign to the right of the billboard. It appears to spell S E A c o something. Any one have an idea what it is advertising? __ |
...here's another billboard
This one advertising Forest Lawn Cemetery. The sign is on the roof of Tilford's on Wilshire Blvd. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/540/8PccWI.jpg eBay I always thought Tilford's was a coffee shop, but here I see a sign advertising 'Dancing Nightly'. __ |
I just found this one in another file of mine.
It's no doubt from the same group of slides since they all have that pinkish tint. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/673/gTyl2q.jpg eBay I don't recognize the establishment. The '25er' cocktails....doesn't ring a bell. __ |

...but Seacoast what? It's looks like a rather large (compared to the car beneath it) and well designed sign. I especially like the font/type they used in spelling out Seacoast. Armand's 2156 W. Manchester Ave. Los Angeles http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/538/RwtFCL.png eBay __ |

:previous: Thanks for reposting those images of Tilford's fmannon. I had forgotten the building was still standing.(and they even kept the curve front! -how cool is that)
__ "Crossing York Blvd. in 1954." http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...537/2WAOrq.jpg eBay After several tries, I finally found the correct intersection thanks to the large building on the right. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/910/gbrwMj.png GSV The building appears to be a church now (see below), but I wonder what it's originally purpose was? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/903/TE33mr.png GSV |
I posted this image a couple weeks ago on Dec. 7th.

He was very good-looking when young, and wasn't the only male designer who was short, and as you have probably heard, MANY of the big stars were surprisingly small - sometimes even tiny - people. |
