https://i.postimg.cc/wvFB80Zm/marcell11-18-25.jpg Los Angeles Times, November 18, 1925, via ProQuest via CSULB Library Soon after, the Marcell Inn was peripherally involved in: https://i.postimg.cc/R0LSKgMD/MarcellKerck.jpg Los Angeles Times, December 15, 1925, via ProQuest via CSULB Library. But soon there was a metamorphosis to the story: https://i.postimg.cc/zv688MjV/MarcellKerck2.jpg Los Angeles Times, December 16, 1925, via ProQuest via CSULB Library. But all good things, and bad, must come to an end, often in the courts: https://i.postimg.cc/7PWx3Gkw/MarcellKerckh3.jpg Los Angeles Times, November 12, 1926, via ProQuest via CSULB Library. More on Kerckhoff at https://adamsboulevardlosangeles.blo...ease-also.html As lagniappe, I include in the above the item on old Californio Yorba. From my notes: Teodosio Geronimo Yorba; September 29 (or 30), 1849, born at L.A.; parents, Bernardo Antonio Yorba and Felipa Dominguez; 1850, present in what is now western Orange County; 1860, present in Santa Ana district; September 3, 1864, published (Los Angeles Star): house being used as polling place for Santa Ana; 1870, present in El Monte in the Maria Leonor Yorba Rowland household; wife, Francisca Juana Coronel; November 12, 1926, obsequies. Lastly, I see nothing further anywhere on the "famous" Igeneff Russian dancers... |

The Kerckhoffs were just the sort of family the writers of Perry Mason seemed to love to feature--spoiled heirs and heiresses etc. One of their tv-world cohorts lived in a house at 4th and June, where Perry asked Paul to meet him while working on a case.... The house wasn't actually at that corner, but rather at 1st and Hudson (101 N Hudson). A then (1961) and now... https://i.postimg.cc/NMBnb1jf/pmtorr...and1st-bmp.jpgCBS https://i.postimg.cc/Nf6pCKZK/pmhudson1stgsv-bmp.jpgGSV And a vintage view from another angle: https://i.postimg.cc/jjL6T23Q/pmhuds...age20s-bmp.jpg Hollywood Historic Photos Built in 1928 by Gerald C. Young; architect Roland Coate; the original BP indicates that it was built with 32 rooms PS I was just doing a little more poking around, and by total coincidence, Mrs. Gerald C. Young--Gertrude to her friends--turns out to have been a first cousin of Stephens Kerckhoff.... ...and it turns out that marital woes ran in the family: https://i.postimg.cc/FzJBDmLN/pmgertkerk1-bmp.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/2SmCb9sV/pmgertkerk2-bmp.jpg LAT Oct 31, 1937/Apr 25, 1941 |

I walk by this house quite frequently in the early evening hours. It's rather spooky in person. There are rarely any lights on except in one of the upstairs bedrooms at the rear of the house, next to 1st Street. It's easy to imagine Charles Foster Kane isolated up there, about to drop his snow globe. |

I just saw this photograph on EBAY. The bidding stops in 40 min. [four people have bid..it's up to $23.50]
Orig 1950s 35mm Kodachrome slide - Los Angeles Forest Lawn Memorial Park scene https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/JOrxbc.jpg EBAY "You are looking at an original red border Kodachrome slide which shows a tourist examining celebrity graves at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park cemetery in Los Angeles, CA in the 1950s." The winner of the bid is going to be in for a big surprise. Can anyone tell me why? ;) __ |

https://i.imgur.com/GJ073Ss.jpg It's kind of ludicrous that anyone would think that's a cemetery - it looks nothing of the sort. Sidewalks? Crypts with giant signatures and no dates? Chain link fence? :rolleyes: |

Maybe the ebay seller thought it was something like Marilyn's wall at Westwood Cemetery... https://i.postimg.cc/x8GwKZ95/marilyngrave-bmp.jpg Supposedly Hugh Hefner is next to her; Joe D sold the drawer on top of her when they divorced...and an urban myth has it that the man who bought it is buried face down.... |
Earl Carroll Theatre
Earl Carroll Theatre was the name of two important theaters owned by Broadway impresario and showman Earl Carroll. One was located in the Broadway Theater District in New York City and the other on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California.

The Ebay seller [with the mislabeled Forest Lawn/Earl Carroll's slide] also has/had this slide listed at the same time.
As most everyone knows, this slide was taken just a block to the east on the opposite side of Vine St. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/6MOimo.jpg EBAY / (sold) |
