Looks like a 1931 lic. plate on that Chev., obviously that was not a 1939 photo of the drive in.

Actually...the address is 7227...as in 7227 Beverly Boulevard. (The TB is listed there in the 34CD, perhaps others.) Looks like it was moved to 1630 La Cienega in 1948, where it lasted 40 more years.... https://i.postimg.cc/L6qp6Hfq/twinbarrelsmatch-bmp.jpg |

We've seen an earlier image of this 7227 Beverly structure before. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=19240 http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=19243 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...90/24/rudr.jpg |

GW, what about this 1010 Slauson address? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/3...921/ZFrxrL.jpg Would I be correct to say that this is the original location. . |
Beloved Infidel
I believe the following two slides were taken by the same person that took... this slide. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/3...921/FftD4Y.jpg The dates match up & they're from the same seller. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/as8iun.jpg EBAY https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/TV33H5.jpg EBAY odinthor, just be glad your parents didn't drag you to see Beloved Infidel. . |

Beloved Infidel played at Grauman's from Friday, November 20, 1959 - Thursday, December 17, 1959 (4 Weeks). That Coffee Dan's sign in the distance looks pretty big. I was wondering when the last year was that Hollywood Blvd. was decorated with these huge lighted Christmas tress. Was it 1959-60? Might've been. |

Beloved Infidel and Hollywood remind me that I recently uncovered an album I put together from a 1977 trip to LA. I drove around taking pictures inspired by Rayner Banham's Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies but also some others, including these two that were part of my high-school-into-college obsession with Fitzgerald. 1) His apartment at 1403 N. Laurel, where he lived from May 1940 until he died not there but at 2) Sheilah Graham's apartment around the corner at 1443 N. Hayworth on Dec 21, 1940 (so I noted on the back of the pic). I think both apartments were on the ground floor in the corner. 1 https://i.postimg.cc/s2gvf1YF/1403nlaurel-FSF.jpg 2 https://i.postimg.cc/430NJP4t/1443nhayworthgraham.jpg (A little clumsy with the Instamatic there....) |

I went out of a photo adventure this afternoon and the train past an area of recent discussion here, Fletcher Field. Here's a photo from the train from Glendale to Union Station:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...cb0889a2_b.jpg20190719_124528_A-Edit.jpg by BillinGlendaleCA, on Flickr. One of the quests on my adventure was to find the newly installed plaque memorializing 'El Aliso'. I was unsuccessful, though when I got home I checked the internets and figured I probably stepped right over it(it's embedded in the sidewalk). Maybe on my next trip downtown... |

It was a tradition in those days for the theater manager to park their Cadillac in front of the theater. In this case its a 1956 model. |

In that Chinese Theatre slide, taken Nov.-Dec. 1959, we see the First Federal Building looking completed. At least the exterior. I saw this photo recently captioned: (1959)- FIRST FEDERAL SAVINGS (Hollywood & Highland) Under Construction. Love the pine tree on the left. When did the First Federal Bldg. officially open? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D6n6DQjUIAAO5ha.jpgClassic LA/Hollywood Facebook And someone's snapshot of Highland and Hollywood taken November 3, 1978: https://live.staticflickr.com/6175/6...3a15a6ae_b.jpgFaitos/Flickr |
I think this is new to the thread, although the photo archive in question, and the associated book, were discussed way back in 2009/2010 - see post #224, post #225 and post #1664.
The House of Lucie at ROW DTLA is currently (July 10th through August 11th) hosting an exhibition called “The Art of the Archive”. It features crime scene photos taken for the LAPD between 1925 and the 1970s. You can read more at fstoppers.com. Fototeka founder Merrick Morton talks about the noirish archive in a short video at www.bbc.com. Here's a small selection: https://i809.photobucket.com/albums/...heArchive1.jpg LA mob hit (previously seen much smaller). https://i809.photobucket.com/albums/...heArchive2.jpg Some "marihuana". https://i809.photobucket.com/albums/...heArchive3.jpg And finally, a hole has appeared in the park. Police are looking into it! (Sorry, I couldn't resist the old joke) https://i809.photobucket.com/albums/...heArchive4.jpg All www.instagram.com/lapdarchive/LAPD/Fototeka |

unihikid: Yes, Hal Roach lived at 22 Berkeley Square...and while I wanted the view through the door to be of one of the houses across the street from his, it isn't. Or any of the other Square houses...though there are two that are visually unaccounted for. Hal's house: https://www.berkeleysquarelosangeles...ach-house.html EDIT-- I might have found the house seen through the doorway in "Ten Years Old"-- I think it's a backdrop photo of 650 Muirfield Road, built by Leo Bergin in 1923...no house was ever directly across from it. Bergin was a partner in the LA Soap Company, and we've seen various items about him before...although maybe not the bit of noir under the pics below. https://i.postimg.cc/1RFcmbVS/650mui...ch2014-bmp.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/cJ9yJrjv/650mui...2018-2-bmp.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/v8njJqQg/650-Mu...T32209-bmp.jpg From a March 2009 ad in the LAT From the LAT Sept 18, 1931 (not sure I got all the pieces of the story in sequence, but frankly I got tired of all the work. I'm sure you'll get the gist). https://i.postimg.cc/8PCjt0QW/bergin1-bmp.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/nhtNn6F9/bergin20-bmp.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/jdrrjWvj/bergin9-bmp.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/dt7ngnGk/bergin50-bmp.jpg |
