The Adventures of Robin Hood was released in 1938... the Lucky Strike package had yet to change from green to white. |
:previous: Interesting point GW.
I found two different versions of the green Lucky Strike packaging. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...908/XKvul8.jpgandhttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...633/Hhfmuu.jpg I imagine the design on the right is later than the one on the left. Here's Dolores Del Rio and her insured throat. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...633/mZiSRS.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...633/FZgp6c.jpg Ms. Del Rio at https://www.pinterest.com/pin/172896073171673682/ |

Excellent post on the Carondelet House tovangar2.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...908/LspvF0.jpg google_earth :previous: There are some major trees behind, shielding the courtyard(s). I thought I'd take a look from Coronado Street (below) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...907/Is4kwY.jpg gsv Lo & behold, there's a beautiful vintage apartment building facing Coronado that I don't recall seeing on NLA. It was built in 1916! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...903/NPzxIf.jpg gsv __ Now back to the Carondelet House. I love the brick work above the windows and arched doorway. it's almost an aureole nimbus shape http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...911/yGRteP.jpg And I couldn't help but notice this beautiful painting (there are many) hanging inside. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...907/rL7WQI.png http://www.carondelethouse.com/caron...irections.html Is she holding bible? -was she a member of a religious order? __ |

Uh. Staying in character, that would probably be "poached" venison.:uhh: One source suggests it is "raisin cake." It is unclear that those are a pack of Luckys or Camels or Chesterfields or any number of cigarettes in light colored packaging, especially if it is masked by a matchbook. http://www.theerrolflynnblog.com/201...with-his-fork/ http://dvdmedia.ign.com/dvd/image/AD...OD_DISC1-3.jpghttp://dvdmedia.ign.com/dvd/image/AD...OD_DISC1-3.jpg Friar Tuck and Jack Webb may have preferred Chesterfields or was it Fatimas? http://skyscraperpage.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6206218 skyscraperpage.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6205598 http://www.jenspends.com/wp-content/...nk-costume.jpghttp://www.jenspends.com/wp-content/...nk-costume.jpg Errol and Joan Blondell.

Like the recent "Three houses" photoset, I think this one is also a misnomer, as there only appears to be one house shown. It's Julius Shulman's "Job 5520: Nichols Canyon Houses (Los Angeles, Calif.),1978". The tiled sign in the first picture gives us the full address.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute Here's 2675 Nichols Canyon Road today. The property websites give a build date of 1978, so it was new when Mr Shulman photographed it. I wonder if the tiled address sign is hidden under the red-flowered bush on the left where the original gate was located. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original GSV The house next door, 2665 Nichols Canyon Road, was also built in 1978. Its matching tiles are still visible on the wall. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...6.jpg~original GSV Like many canyon houses, these are much bigger at the rear. 2675 is in the center, with 2665 on the right. This view is looking east. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...7.jpg~original Google Maps |

They did another (38 units) the next year, at 671 Coronado, south of Wilshire named "The Wilshire" (the home next door to the Coronado and behind the Hayward/Thomas barn lasted at least until 1950 when it got a Certificate of Occupancy after having added on two more units) The location of the fabulous "Hershey Arms" (much discussed here) is also shown: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-B...5%252520PM.jpg baist, 1921, plate 15 The Tudor-Revival "Wilshire": https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-O...2%252520PM.jpg you-are-here ...And a last reminder of the Hershey Arms (John C Austin, 1907): https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Y...1%252520AM.jpg laconservancy |

Great coverage of the Hayward properties, T2. Jake Zeitlin rented from the county what had been the carriage house of the Edwin Earl's 2425 Wilshire Blvd (more info here). The front door of the Thomas house built at 627 S Carondelet (and at 135 N Norton since 1926) appeared in a feature in the Times on Aug 17, 1924 (the window at upper left belongs to another house on the page). I've been in touch with a former owner of 135 N Norton who apparently has the urns in the shot. (More here.) https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-X...door.jpg?gl=US |

Looks like Robin Hood....not sure what he's sticking that fork into? It looks like a bicycle pedal to me. |
How we used to board the planes in 1930s Glendale.

Several sources say that the slogan and idea of copper and ink being needed for the war effort was just a marketing ploy--that the change from green to white had more to do with modernizing the package, to make it cleaner, and thus more appealing to women. |
