Looking for more pictures of the Shell station, I found a set of four photos of the decorations being constructed. Here are two of them. Christmas display at station on Wilshire Boulevard and South Catalina Street, Shell Oil Co., Los Angeles, CA, 1930 http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...Christmas1.jpg USC Digital Library |

What was there: Permits for the first Shell station buildings at the nec of Wilshire & Catalina were issued on Aug 1, 1930--more than six years after the Aronson house was cut up and moved to Fremont Place.... The full story is here. https://i.postimg.cc/QMpx4thw/3325-MAIN4-FB.jpg The building seen at right is the Post Building, built in 1925--you can just seen the Aronson lot at left, apparently bare and awaiting Shell...

The scene where Jack Nicholson rips pages out of a plat book ('coughing' each time to cover up the ripping sound). The male librarian looks up...but doesn't realize what's going on right under his nose. Remember that scene? |

If anyone needs ideas for presents, these two new LA books are great:
https://i.postimg.cc/zDKTFdg2/LAbook.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/mDtWGzQh/librarybk1.jpg The story of the library fire is noirish and the writing is great A sample from Dear Los Angeles that I especially liked... Evelyn Waugh, February 13, 1947 (right after, of course, the demise of E Short): "The city is quarter-built, empty building lots everywhere and vast distances. Since the war they have succeeded in spoiling even the climate by inducing an artificial and noxious fog...." |

I'm not sure anyone who saw her on Broadway in 1937 is still alive, so her not being so well remembered is understandable. Plus, she died young. Seems it's up to NLA to revive her fame. She was big. It's the pictures that got small. Big enough to have star on the Boulevard (6400 block): https://i.postimg.cc/pL9v9Vkg/mitzistar-bmp.jpg Wonder where this might have been taken... https://i.postimg.cc/vBvwR4H6/mitzi1-bmp.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/Fzs5hh7C/mitzi2-bmp.jpg |
Here's a photograph of the FBI office in Los Angeles. [1950s?]
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/wgmMa5.jpg I found the pic HERE (the address wasn't given) Does anyone know where this field office was located? My guess is..somewhere near LAX. (the building looks 'airporty' to me) __ |
:previous:
The slant of the street made me doubt it being too near LAX, but I totally get your thinking that it looks--or looked--"airporty"... It's at 1340 West 6th St...seems to have been also, at least until recent renovations, an office of the DEA... https://i.postimg.cc/N0Lwnfmb/1340w6th-bmp.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/kMvhxPt5/1340compl.jpg LAT April 27, 1956 |
:previous: You found it! Thanks GW.
____ re: FBI. Here's J. Edgar Hoover in Hollywood, 1951. I'd love to know what's going through Hoover's mind at this very moment. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/SGiM8g.jpg Hoover visits Dorothy Lamour and Cornell Wilde on the set of The Greatest Show on Earth, with Charlton Heston in the background, 1951 This article at abcnews says he 'dated' Dorothy Lamour. (despite the title of the article, "J. Edgar Hoover: Gay or Just A Man Who Has Sex With Men.") :shrug: __ J. Edgar with his companion Clyde Tolson. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/3...924/agYZX5.jpg |
