Pistol street signs always catch my eye, and it's great to find them still in place-- And sometimes you find them together with a newer model.... Mission Hills: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-v...2520AM.bmp.jpgGSV https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-T...2520AM.bmp.jpg |

GW:I did recall the prior Pelton posts and thank you for mentioning them. The backdrop struck me as familiar but not significant. In throwing out the Figueroa and Thirteenth locale, I was thinking more toward the South Washington area (near the Mode O' Day building) since so many other campy pictures were taken there, e.g., http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=24430 a As for the exact location of the 1926-Marmon hood dancer, it could have been shot in any number of DTLA parking lots. :shrug: Quote:
Oh well . . . time for a gratuitous repost of the woman in the hospital gown set to take flight - or audition for Ray Bolger's straw-laden role. :koko:http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...70279&page=430 http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls...df3o2_1280.jpghttp://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls...df3o2_1280.jpg 1931 - Unexplained image of Cheetah stand-in?

http://cbsnews1.cbsistatic.com/hub/i...on_Gate010.jpghttp://cbsnews1.cbsistatic.com/hub/i...on_Gate010.jpg Anyone have Adolph Zukor's number? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._Zukor_001.jpghttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._Zukor_001.jpg As many know, there were two prior Studio ventures that occupied the 5451 Marathon/ 5300 Melrose lot - prior to Paramount: "Paralta," followed by "Brunton." It is worth noting that one of the sources mentioned below (Rex Ingram book) discusses the fact that Paralta optioned the 18 acre property from Clunes. More on Clunes here: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=24508 Robert Brunton, whose name was next attached to the lot, "was appointed executive director of Paralta studios." There are two spellings for Paralta (Peralta). I think the second is erroneous. http://wikimapia.org/7351995/Former-...istorical-site Page 2432 of the 1918CD lists "Paralta" Studios, Inc. and Paralta Productions, Inc. at 5300 Melrose. Scholarly texts on the subject also use the "Paralta" spelling https://books.google.com/books?id=Vj...201918&f=false. Finally, a certain studio layout plan also uses the "Paralta" spelling. All of these sources strongly suggest Paralta is the correct spelling. This rekindles another thought, Whether the "Par[a] Alta" had anything to do with the name, "Para""Mount"? Coincidence?:rolleyes: 1918 Paralta Studios on Melrose Ave. http://digitalcommons.chapman.edu/jo...40/preview.jpg : http://digitalcommons.chapman.edu/jo...ent_film/1536/ "Paralta Plays, Inc." As reported by the March 8, 1918 edition of the Dramatic Mirror: "Further Enlargement of the Paralta Plant Proposed." https://books.google.com/books?id=9e...ngeles&f=false Rex Ingram and Paralta: https://books.google.com/books?id=9e...ngeles&f=false Brunton Studios http://photos.wikimapia.org/p/00/00/31/33/14_big.jpghttp://photos.wikimapia.org/p/00/00/31/33/14_big.jpg As an afterthought, I noticed a few publicity photos bearing the name "Paralta" "L/A." The '32CD lists a Paralta [photography] Studios at 551 S Broadway. This would have been more than a decade after Paralta's demise so the connection seems purely coincidental. |
Here I am beating this dead horse again. ;)

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...912/dy93DP.jpg old file of mine I have to confess...this area, at the base of Santa Monica Canyon, holds some of my better memories of my time in Los Angeles. My best friend, who also worked at Lorimar, lived on secluded Hillside Lane near old Rustic Creek. At the time, I was only in my early twenties, while she was in her early fifties, but she was the life of every party....just an amazing woman. I miss her very much. __ |

I asked myself; "Where would you find a group of young ladies on a rooftop?" Could it possibly be a Y.W.C.A?....or perhaps that boarding house in Hollywood for young female starlets (I can't remember it's name or location) That said, the poor brunette is getting KO'ed! __ |

Also, the buildings in the middle appear to be typical movie lot offices and technical support. It kind of reminds me of my days when I worked at Paramount in the 1970s. |

Nah, it looks like this: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-p...72827%2BPM.jpg Or it did look like that until, in an act of wickedness I actually witnessed, the loggia was filled in. Now it just looks kind of blank. It's a Julia Morgan for Pete's sake. I think CBD is on to something |
:previous: Yeah, that's the place I was thinking about t2, but it doesn't look like the right setting does it? We need a flat rooftop.
'mystery' location. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/537/EBv5Yf.jpg eBay http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...673/Qqdd2x.jpg :previous: Interesting information, even if it is in French. So does anyone know where did Mr. Boyer lived during his time in Hollywood? -and who is this Pat? That said, I have no idea about the black silhouette that appears on the front and back of the photograph. -if you squint, it looks like Charles Boyer if he didn't have a nose.;) |
