I just found this advertisement for Troy Laundry (from the Los Angeles Herald April 25, 1890).

The first day of spring in the US and mid-spring in Britain and Europe and elsewhere. The full moon (on the 27th) after the Vernal Equinox is the Planting Moon/Easter. (Christians delay celebrations until the first, or second, if one's Orthodox, Sunday after that.) Worldwide events are happy excuses for over-doing it and nice reminders of our commonality :-) |

Pretty sure I once used a Zerozone, but it had even less usable storage space than Thora's demo model and required constant defrosting. Thora Waverly appeared in the 1930 "Vagabond King," featuring Warner Oland. Is it possible that title is on a marquee in one or two photos in this thread? :shrug: Thora reminds me of actress Judy Greer.:rolleyes: http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Old-Advertisi...!FC!~~60_3.JPGEbay http://static.tvgcdn.net/MediaBin/Ga...udy-greer1.jpghttps://www.google.com/search?q=judy...95%3B218%3B150 |
Southern California All-Year Club Ads
It was the ballyhoo of The All-Year Club of Southern California that Danny Devito's voice-over was debunking during the title sequence of "L.A. Confidential". The All-Year Club was in overdrive for decades, publishing ads, brochures, maps, etc.. Read too much of this stuff at once and risk a diabetic coma.

ER: A post right up my alley. It's great to see the house and its clinker brick seemingly unchanged after 113 years. |

ER, A bit more detail.
ER, since I live close by to the La Marquise I thought I snap a few better resolution shots.

The Marquise Apartments
Gorgeous Mr Swink! As the Marquise was built in '31 that could be Malibu Tile. And what an outstanding front door! Great entry. Wonderful photos :-)

Down Apablaza 1924
For Noirishers who want to feel like being in Old Chinatown, ask for :
YouTube Stan Laurel Mandarin Mix up 1924 In the last scene of this silent movie, we are in Apablaza Street - just east after the first alley (without name ?) which goes up to the downtown railroad depot. We are looking west, with the trees and the roofs of the houses of the Plaza higher than the houses on Apablaza. We even see a car driving south on Alameda. And it lasts for several minutes ! What a discovery ! (to me at least...) |
