Maybe not surprising that the source misidentifies the image as "the Sinclair Lewis house in Monrovia." http://photos.lapl.org/carlweb/jsp/F...olNumber=26861 Both well known authors and Upton Sinclair mentored the younger Lewis. Sinclair Lewis may have visited the Monrovia residence of Upton Sinclair, but there is no evidence he, Sinclair Lewis also lived there.:previous: Upton - Time Author and politician Upton Sinclair was responsible for a political movement called End Poverty in California "EPIC". The movement lost its momentum when Sinclair lost his 1934 gubernatorial race. More here: snip... end quote... FWIW The "Ham and Eggs" movement followed EPIC in the mid 1930's and was inspired by it http://articles.latimes.com/2005/feb/13/local/me-then13 Can remember a three Stooges episode that referenced it, a crooked political character was named "Hammond Egger" https://zapp.trakt.us/images/episodes/2052-19-6.jpg trakt.tv |

A hunch
Considering some of the signage, this must be a series of shots near or just outside a Douglas Aircraft plant during the war.

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...tLocations.jpg silentlocations.wordpress.com Harold Lloyd's 1921 short 'Never Weaken' has come up a couple of times before on NLA, but all the images seem to be missing. Luckily, it's on YouTube, so I took a look. All the following screengrabs are from the YouTube video. The movie opens with this view of the Pantages (later Warner) Theatre at 7th and Hill, with the Los Angeles Athletic Club behind. The theatre only opened a year before 'Never Weaken' was released. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...verWeaken1.jpg The basic plot is that Harold is in love with the girl (Mildred Davis) in the office next door, but she is about to lose her job because her osteopath boss doesn't have enough patients. Harold decides to go out and drum up business, and one of his ruses is dropping soap flakes on the street just before a water wagon passes. The scene was filmed by the Angel's Flight Pharmacy on S Grand Avenue. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...verWeaken2.jpg When Harold returns to see if his efforts have paid off, he mistakenly believes that his girl has agreed to marry another man. During an attempt to commit suicide, Harold finds himself on a girder swinging through the air. He's soon lands on a building under construction, which is actually a set on the roof of the Ville de Paris. Here's a view of Bullocks Seventh Street Building. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...verWeaken3.jpg The store below Harold's feet is Dan Clemmons' men's furnishings at 332 W 7th Street. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...verWeaken4.jpg Finally, we get a closer look at the Los Angeles Athletic Club. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...verWeaken5.jpg |

The RKO Theater you posted at the top of this page really, really looks just like the Orpheum on Broadway, on the inside. It's a shame that on on Hill is gone but go see the Orpheum some time. I'll post some comparison pix if I can. It still has the last and only fully working Wurlitzer Theater organ, at least on Broadway, inside. Have watched silent and talking movies there as an usher with "Last Remaining Seats" sponsored by Los Angeles Conservancy. |
:previous:
Funny you should mention the Orpheum on Broadway, Alan. I watched a video about its refurbishment last night. That Wurlitzer is now detachable! http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...pheumVideo.jpg Video link: The Orpheum Theater - Los Angeles |

Kaufman? http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps79919b33.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...d/67973/rec/17 ...a cannon, and a tablet (erected by Walter P.Temple) http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps6b406ea3.jpg http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/co...d/67973/rec/17 Today, we have the tablet, a tree, a bell, no monument, and no cannon. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps4d01653e.jpg Google Street View The website mentions the name Dan Miner Does anyone know what all this was? Or what happened to most of it? |
Found some answers.

Beaten to it again! Here's the post I was working on when I saw that C. King had got there first. Some of the information comes from the same source. The memorial is for Sgt. Joseph Leon Kauffman (Oct. 8, 1895 - Sept. 26, 1918), who died in France while serving his country in World War I. Here's a better view of the plaque. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...hKauffman1.jpg www.cemeteryguide.com The following quote is from an article on www.cemeteryguide.com, which has a lot more information about Joseph Kauffman's life and death. "Kauffman’s older brother, Milton Kauffman (1882-1956), founded a construction company which built an estimated 20,000 homes throughout Southern California. Milton Kauffman was also the business manager for area developer Walter P. Temple. In July 1919, a 20-foot white granite obelisk was unveiled on the Temple Oil Lease property in Montebello, Calif., in Joseph Kauffman's memory. The memorial, a gift from Walter P. Temple, was described as "the first memorial to an individual to be erected in California," and included a bronze plaque in Kauffman's memory. When Walter P. Temple sold the Temple Oil Lease property, the memorial monument was moved a few miles away to Temple City Park, in Temple City, Calif. On May 30, 1930, the Joseph L. Kauffman Memorial monument was unveiled and dedicated at its new and current location, on Las Tunas Drive near Kauffman Avenue. The ceremonies, which were organized by the Joseph L. Kauffman Post 279 of the American Legion, included a parade, band concert and community picnic." A PDF document I found on www.templecity.us has more information about the memorial. It concedes that there is some confusion over the date of the memorial's move to its current location. "In 1923, the Joseph L. Kauffman Memorial Shaft and one of two cannons were relocated to the newly-established Temple City Park, where they remain today. (Some sources indicate that the memorial shaft was not relocated to the park until 1930). The cannons and memorial shaft were originally installed at the Temple oil lease in Montebello (old San Gabriel Mission site) in July 1919 in honor of Milton Kauffman’s brother, who was killed in World War I. One of the cannons was stolen from the Montebello site in 1920. The remaining cannon sat in the park from 1923 to 1967, when it was removed for park renovations and not returned. It was reinstalled in the park in 1991." This is the only picture of the memorial in the park which I could locate after a quick Google search. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...hKauffman2.jpg www.cemeteryguide.com The memorial is just visible on GSV, although I can't see the cannon. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...hKauffman3.jpg GSV There's more information on www.findagrave.com. |

Sorry 'bout that HossC! :) I just noticed at the bottom of the plaque at the base of the monument, that it was erected by Mr. Temple and the Cadets of the Pasadena Army Navy Academy, later called Pasadena Military Academy. After a very small amount of research, I have not come up with a locale for the campus. The few mentions of it, just has the location listed as a (K-12) in the San Raphael Heights area of Pasadena. Only other info I could come up with was that the school was founded in 1917. Maybe some of the other sleuths on the board can dig a bit deeper. Casey |
We've seen the Los Angeles Soap Company before on NLA, but I can't find any mention of Joseph Strobl. I wonder how long the profession of soap taster lasted. The picture dates from 1934.
