I lived in Hollywood at that time while I attended Art Center college. I knew many people then. I lived on Eleanor Street and Santa Monica Blvd...1970 -1976. I forget the name of the Preview House MC. He was a handsome dark blond fellow who actually looked a lot like George Fenneman of Groucho fame. He was always concerned about his looks. After I attended his party he later invited later me to his home. He lived in a nice apartment north of 3rd St. east of the Farmer's Market area. Its a long story but as I left he handed me a stack of old Mizer's Athletic Guild magazines...Physique Pictorial. I attended other Hollywood parties, a couple of which I'm embarrassed to remember. The current discussion brought back all of those rather old memories. BTW, I thought that the Preview House evening was a bore. I attended with my friend and he won the rigged prize....not me...LOL. |
CBG, you're a regular Zelig.... I'm still trying to figure out the odds of you spotting your aunt in a photograph of a crowd decades later--whatever it was.

That is an outstanding map of the flood. Thx so much for that. In the small size it just looks like a minor spill: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-6...72245%2BPM.jpg adventuresofrustywaters The force and speed must have been incredible. According to the LAT article, Homer Higley's body was swept through the Verdugo Hills and into the LA River. His remains were finally recovered from the ocean. |
So far on NLA, we've seen, or have mentioned...
Bohemian Grill (Vine Street) Stark's Bohemian Café (Santa Monica Blvd.) Bohemian Tavern (Pasadena) & La Boheme (Sunset) Yet, this flood scene shows a 'Bohemian Grove' on a un-named street in Los Angeles. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...673/xkpgMV.jpg eBay newspaper version: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...661/WF78Nz.jpg http://www.ebay.com/itm/1934-Vintage...item19fefbca77 :previous: So where was 'Bohemian Grove' located? -is it the Victorian in the center, or the destroyed building on the left? (refer to the top photograph) __________ The only 'Bohemian Grove' I am aware of, is the ultra-mysterious (and ultra-creepy) 'retreat' up near San Francisco. If you haven't heard of this place, you're in for a real treat. __ |

It was a marvelous place to play a huge game of Capture the Flag. We were entirely innocent of the knowledge of its unsavory past. |

From there it was simple to check the same volume for an entry on Georg Gyssling, which I did find thereby learning that his residential address was the Curson Street house. Elementary, my dear Watson, elementary. I posted the same information last night but "never-minded" my post when I learned that the Curson house was not the same as the one pictured in the original post upthread. |

I can read German, and will provide a complete translation of this in a day or two, provided nobody else beats me to it. (Or has already done so.)
Having glanced at the first paragraph, this says essentially that the Hollywood movie industry, in the early years of Nazi Germany, was more interested in avoiding "controversial" political themes, as Europe was the largest foreign market for American films. Quote:

:previous: I just took the google-mobile over to see the arch.
I almost missed it altogether, it's partially hidden by shrubs at the end of dead end road (New York Avenue) It made me appreciate it all the more. The location makes it all the more mysterious. can u spot it? ;) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...909/2b6l4N.jpg GSV Did you have trouble finding it t2? I don't think we would have ever found it without Otis's directions. -So thanks Otis! |
ephemera, dated 1926.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...661/3JybUF.jpg eBay The old Steam Corp. building is still there...painted black with green and tan stars. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...537/VmldUs.jpg gsv I couldn't help but notice the attractive building down the street a bit. Here's a closer look. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...661/B0pV2Y.jpg GSV :previous: It's really impressive; let's try to dig up some information on it.;) |

I wonder what the purpose of the remailings was... The other building (3430 S Hill) was built to be occupied by the Miller Tire Co--architect John De Lario--according to the Times of June 23, 1929.... Goodrich took it over the next year. |
I'm sure we've discussed this block of W 7th Street before, but my quick search only yielded a post by e_r about the Wilshire Place Hotel & Apartments. This slide, dated January 1963, shows 7th Street at Magnolia Avenue. The photography sign above the streetcar belonged to the Alfred & Fabris Studio at 2901 W 7th Street.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original eBay It looks like the building on the right has given way to a parking lot. The Wilshire Place Hotel & Apartments building is just visible on the far left of both images. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original GSV |
