Along with Liberty and Photoplay they were all Bernarr Macfadden (Physical Culture magazine founder) publications at this point. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...une%201943.jpg http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...may%201943.jpg (True Story "In Love With America" June 1943 and Movie Life May 1943) Happy 4th of July, all USC had this view that I don't remember seeing before, dated c. 1945.

I've often wondered if any of you "Angelians" remember this obscure song from 1965 /1966.
My best friend I worked with at Lorimar dated Norma, and I remember being told at the time that "she once had a hit song", but I had NO idea what they were talking about. (there was no internet.....or youtube to check it out in the 1980s) So I was pleasantly surprised to find her on youtube. Norma Tanega, "Walkin' My Cat Named Dog." http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...661/ykovEW.jpg click here to hear the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPZVrmJ2HH8 *side-note: As some of the older comments on youtube mention....Norma was also the girlfriend of Dusty Springfield. BUT.....as far as I know, she wasn't the one that threw the frying pan at Dusty. (she got a bum-rap for that) __ |

(Off to war, perhaps?) Another great photo of this corner. Notice that there's a ladder, two actually, leaning on the Owl Drug Store front. I believe I see a man leaning against that "owl" that's atop the store! Also the sign at the right over the street says "IT'S HE-- (?) 'The Adventures of Robin Hood'." The film was out in 1938; would they have been re-releasing it in 1945? |

they moved to bigger digs at 1531 N. Cahuenga June 7, 1943. I've never seen a picture of it. It closed June 29, 1947. That Robin Hood...I found a blurb in the newspaper from May 16, 1944 saying "World Famous Pictures" was going to begin a series in June under the title The Adventures of Robin Hood starring Howard Hill (he was the archer advisor on the 1938 Robin Hood) with writing by Paul A. Castleton. It doesn't show up as one of Hill's known credits, though. |
Rr. Beauchamp dentist
After his 1935 absence I guess Dr. Beauchamp came back! 1964 photo, The Owl drug store is now a jewelry store. The building is still there today, the drug/jewelry stores is now a Popeye's fried chicken.

That Dr. Beauchamp - ! Dr. B was there in 1935, left at some point apparently, then was back there as of July 1945, having disposed of both Drs. Chase and Green. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...b%201-6-35.jpgLAT 1-6-35 http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...b%207-8-45.jpgLAT 7-8-45 That's pronounced "Bee-cham" people! Going back to the wonderful photo http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...e/coloruso.jpg Across the street it's nice to see Foreman & Clark in living color on the corner at 6353 in the 1940 streamliner where the old Hollywood branch library was before moving around the corner to Ivar. It opened March 1940. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...%203-14-40.jpg LAT 3-14-40 Then that sign next door with the green boot... it's Regal Shoes at 6365. They opened there Feb 1940 and were there through 1943. I'm not sure if they were still there after that, though they did still have a branch downtown for sure. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...2010-17-40.jpg LAT 10-17-40 It's in a building we've seen before. This was a 1920s building reborn as a streamliner in 1935. California State Library has a closeup of it from around that time (that's the mission-style old library next door). http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...EFNEA9SA7R.jpg http://catalog.library.ca.gov/exlibr...EFNEA9SA7R.jpg It would get another remodel in 1949 for a branch of the Bond clothing store. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...thing%2049.jpg LAT 2-14-49 :fireworks |

NoirCityDame's post: Thanks for all those interesting additions. I didn't know exactly what that boot shape was for! I love the "world's only outdoor escalator." Wow...really? Wonder what happened to it, though I can guess. Wish it was still there! You sure know a lot about everything on Hollywood Blvd. -- do you happen to know of any photos showing the front of Coffee Dan's near Highland? Also, in one of my directory searches they had a Coffee Dan's listed at 6405 Hollywood Blvd., which is near, or at, Cahuenga. I've never seen any photos at all of that location in Hollywood. These addresses may have been from the 1956 directory, I didn't notate it. 1511 North Vine St. HO4-2290 6405 Hollywood Blvd. HO4-8449 6776 Hollywood Blvd. HO4-0667 _________ Inspired by your MOVIE LIFE cover with Veronica Lake: Special Pages - Stars in Uniform Movie Life of Veronica Lake HAPPY 4th to y'all, too! https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8030/8...0b6bc20c_z.jpg P.S.: My personal favorite "star in uniform": http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-psy-oOhPIg...guymadison.jpg |
