That dance hall is, of course, the much already mentioned Flores Magón anarchist hall located near Mott and Cesar Chavez (Brooklyn.) Later, Communist bakery (I think,) mural contained within painted by Pollack's brother, and later 70s and 80s punk club. So much more to this building, too much to rehash.
I feel like you threw this one at me, ER, just to check if I was still roaming the noir. Quote:

N. San Pedro and Jackson Streets (Jackson was one block north of 1st Street). The three-story building down the block seems to match the one in the UMC photo, and the two smaller buildings in between might be the same, too: https://i1165.photobucket.com/albums...ps2nwfhi7o.jpg gpf.6975 @ Seaver Center |
Question for you guys...
24 seconds into this clip, where you see Anouk Aimee pull up to the stoplight... is that Beverly and La Cienega? |

I've been trying to figure out what the sign says on the side of the building I thought might be a hotel in the UMC photograph https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/mBDh9k.jpg DETAIL At first I thought it said "produce"...on closer inspection, it's products. At the top (of the sign) says..."LEE - TEX. I found Lee-Tex in the 1941 city directory (it's the only directory it shows up in) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/hPnCt5.jpg lapl but it doesn't give the address of the plant...or the v-pres' address. . |

The sign says Lee-Tex RUBBER products...maybe Lee-Tex Oil morphed into Lee-Tex Rubber... https://i.postimg.cc/3JhnwffM/leetexpic1-bmp.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/NfVF4S3S/leetextext-bmp.jpg LAT June 13, 1954 Looks like it was in the building that's still at the nwc of Western and 132nd...designed by no less than S. Charles Lee And from the LAT August 14, 1955: https://i.postimg.cc/J4knnKgL/leetex3-bmp.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/jdP79sRP/leetex4-bmp.jpg |
:previous: Thanks for digging up the old newspaper clippings, GW.
Get a load of this....Lee-Tex made balloon shoes. (I laughed when I read "balloon shoes" :lmao:) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/No3wMU.jpg ebay They, no doubt, made the balloons too. ...I mean, it is a rubber company. EDIT: I see (now) that ballooons are mentioned in GW's first clipping. . |
I saw this photograph a few days ago on ebay. ...... (I just checked...it's still listed. Go HERE)
Have we seen, or discussed, the "Harvey Trip" on nla? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/BaliyT.jpg ebay The photograph is actually a postcard. Here's the back. (1912 postmark) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/AqZ1dO.jpg It appears to be more than a fly-by-night business. If you look closely, the driver's hat has the company's name stitched on it. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/BTGRL8.jpg detail I searched through the city directories and came up with zilch. :( P.S. Did you notice his speaking horn? (in the top pic) . |

E.R. - Doesn't it seem like there are way too many people in that vehicle? Also, I think there is another person driving. I bet that guy with the bullhorn hangs on the running board and calls out the interesting locations. I think I would pass on the Harvey Trip. Seems like it would be a hot, dusty, and probably smelly ride. |
You're right about there being another driving, FredH. I see him now.
The man standing must have been the narrator of the tour. I see that the postcard is going to Kansas. Fred Harvey was originally from Kansas. I wonder if there is any connection between the two. :shrug: |

https://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/5087...7b0b0_XXXL.jpg ^^^ Wow, Brew 102, gasometers and an old vic--real old tyme L.A.! A building like that would now go for at least a $million in S.F. unrestored, and several million restored. |

I remember going to the grand opening of Newberry's in the early 1950s. The California Theatre opened around the same time. I saw The Day the Earth Stood Still and Rhubarb at the Magnolia in 1951 and later The Birds and the Bees and Sing Boy Sing. Has anyone heard of these movies, much less seen them? I know everyone has seen The Day the Earth Stood Still. Magnolia Park was, and is, a great neighborhood. |
