Anna May Wong Certificate of Identity, August 18, 1924.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...913/0GzTy2.jpg http://behindthescenes.nyhistory.org...american-star/ "Anna May Wong was born Wong Liu Tsong in 1905 in Los Angeles, with Cantonese-American family that had lived in America since 1855. However, being American didn't matter in a time when people of Chinese descent were being heavily legislated against. Beginning in 1909, any people of Chinese descent entering or residing in the US, regardless of the country of their birth, had to carry a Certificate of Identity with them at all times. This was part of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which prohibited all immigration of Chinese laborers, and excluded Chinese from US citizenship. Even at the peak of her fame, Ms. Wong still had to carry papers like the one above to prove she was allowed to be here."

In a photo collection titled "West of Western", there is this nice one of a mid-century,
I'm guessing, apartment complex, with a nice simple sleek design. Where is it, I wonder? There is no information or caption for it, other than the title, "8337", which is the address number on the side of the building. The only other clue is that, as the collection of photos implies, it was taken West of Western Ave., probably in the late 70's or early 80's. http://www.michaelvarhol.com/wordpre...2/44_83371.jpg Michael Varhol |

I found this menu for Stan's in an old file of eBay finds.
(I perused all the menus that have appeared on NLA (by typing noirish menu lapl into Google Images), and I also checked all the previous "Stan's" posts. -we haven't seen this menu yet. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/905/5LEZAq.jpg eBay http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/538/5p1shU.jpg eBay The attractive girl on the menu was also on their sign, at least at this Wilshire and Hoover location. originally posted by Godzilla http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...673/NCuYUB.jpg http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=28930 detail http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...673/ydzihe.png originally posted by Godzilla http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...538/y8bjst.jpg http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=28930 Stan's at night (I'm unsure which location this is) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...661/MdiZ3g.jpg __ LAPL also has a Stan's menu in their collection.

This aerial view is dated 1928. I've added the street names. It looks like this was before the Geo T Cline building appeared. It was also a year before the E Clem Wilson building went up. Is that our restaurant on the corner of Detroit Street? http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original Detail of picture in USC Digital Library It's a shame we're looking at the back of the large sign in this 1929 shot. The word "Famous" from the White Spot sign is visible, and the "Candies/Ice Cream" sign next door matches the Hall's Chinese Cafe image posted by e_r. The 1930 CD lists a confectionery and ice cream retailer named H L Garrens at 5363 Wilshire Boulevard, but I'm not sure if that's the name on the signs. The "Drive In Market" sign is in the same location as the "ABA BROS" sign in e_r's New Club Royal image, but is a different shape. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original Detail of picture in USC Digital Library Here's the full image showing the E Clem Wilson building under construction (we've probably seen it before). http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original USC Digital Library I can't see any trace of the White Spot, New Club Royal or Hall's Chinese Cafe in this 1940 image. They would've been on the lower left corner. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original Detail of picture in USC Digital Library I'm pretty sure that the buildings on either side of Detroit Street on the right of the aerial above are still there, but both have been modified. I thought I remembered a post about the one with the pylon, but a quick search didn't find it. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original GSV |

There's also a couple of amusing, odd or even scary options, depending on your point of view, like the Krazy - Basket, featuring a "frankfurter prepared by our secret formula." Um...no thanks! (Prepared "by" or "with"?) Also, under their "Spanish Specialties" should I try the "SPAGHETTI with Meat Sauce"? |
