Variety has published 20 of some heretofore unseen photos of Doris Day today, on what would have been her 98th Birthday. This weekend Julien's is having an auction of much of her belongings. Julien's was to have an exhibition of many items in Beverly Hills at their location that people could visit, but that didn't happen due to current circumstances, but much of their auction business is done online and that will still be occurring.
Does anyone know where this might be? Doris Day sits on the porch of her Burbank, Calif. home in the early 1950's. https://pmcvariety.files.wordpress.c...af-7.jpg?w=980Variety Doris Day outside her home in Burbank, Calif. in the early 1950's. https://pmcvariety.files.wordpress.c...af-1.jpg?w=980 Variety How else can I explain Those rainbows when there is no rain It's magic... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BIvgZQZCbk |

Her home from 1951 to 1955 was 131 South Valley Street in Burbank. Extended between then and now. https://i.imgur.com/kjQJHcR.jpg GSV |
Beautiful home until they placed the extended garage onto the front of the house. I imagine in Doris' day the garage was separate & placed in the back.
hmm. . . . there might have even been a porte cochere (scroll back up to Martin's first photo) but it's a bit difficult to tell. P.S....The home is still beautiful just not as beautiful as it once was. . |

:previous: Cool find Hoss. I found this interesting bit of ephemera in an old file of mine. Is anyone familiar with this school? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/921/Jf87vi.jpg b.a.barr file.....I hope I haven't posted this before. Does anyone have a photograph of the Walt Whitman School School located at 515 S. Boyle Avenue? The only time a Walt Whitman School has been mentioned on NLA was a reference to the fictional school in the TV show, Room 222. The stand in for the fictional school was Los Angeles High School on Olympic. ...You can see the Room 222 post Here . |

RE: Walt Whitman School Interesting information and photographs! Thanks for your help, odinthor and Noir Noir. I appreciate it. :) P.S. The top left photograph and the bottom middle photograph appears to show a different house unless this is the back of the house. (the turret is missing) A benefit for the Walt Whitman School at the Philharmonic Auditorium - third ad down.

Here's an interesting business card rediscovered in an old file of mine. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/AX8Srb.jpg eBay For search purposes:. . .Roosevelt Drive In Market....Cor. Sunset & Kingsley |

A current look at the corner of Sunset & Kingsley at the beginning of this video: Sunset Boulevard, Part 12: Kingsley Drive to Western Ave. Hollywood ...or at the end of this one, link: Sunset Boulevard, Part 11: Alexandria Ave. to Kingsley Drive, East Hollywood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm7UTs-sHM0 FYI: So I find that these videos start downtown at Figueroa and the last one is: Sunset Boulevard, Part 25: San Vincente to Sierra Dr. "The Strip" West Hollywood. |

A mystery location. Here's a c.1950 car accident photograph that I don't believe we have seen on NLA. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/lFQEnK.jpg from losangelestheaters, but they don't know the location. CAPTION: "This c.1950 shot is in the Los Angeles Public Library collection Note the theatre signage beyond the car. The Library's caption for the photo is not helpful in identitying the location."....LOS ANGELES THEATRES And here's the description over at LAPL. "Automobile in the street after an accident coming out of a driveway, 1950's."....LAPL Does anyone recognized the location? . |

2173 Ventura Boulevard, Camarillo
Quote:
Paul Pincus Komm, born in Kharkov 8/13/18, moved to Buffalo as a child. He attended UCSB and registered for the draft in 1940. He graduated from the School of Optometry at UCLA in 1942. In the 1950 Blue Book for Optometrists, he was listed as having an office at 215 W. 5th Street downtown. Subsequently there are some mentions of him on the society pages of the Valley News, mostly about ocean cruises he and his wife Eileen took. He died 3/20/99 in Tarzana. There are other businesses in the photo besides the illegible theater marquee: "Gourmets [sic] Pantry", Lou's ___(watches?), _. A. Perry. Below "Lou's" you can see (barely) "Dr. Paul Komm." I think the address could be found SFV directories which don't seem to be online. EDIT: oops, it looks like I had the right boulevard, but the wrong city. The 1963 Oxnard city directory has the following: Komm Paul optom 2173 Ventura blvd (Cam) r North Hollywood and Lou's Jewelers (Louis S Garnica) 2171 Ventura blvd (Cam) The Valley Theatre is not the one in the picture; it was further east.
