Always thought Milland was somewhat overrated as an actor. Was well cast in the "Lost Weekend" though as a drunk. One of Milland's last films, "The Man With the X-Ray Eyes" is a hoot. Also has insult comedian Don Rickles in a bit part. Mad scientist Milland discovers eye drops that allows him to see through clothing. Of course he was always watching pretty ladies, when not drunk. The potboiler ends with some preacher shouting "if thine eyes offend thee, pluck them out!" & Milland does exactly that. The End. The Nesbit/Thaw/White murder triangle was also covered in the book & film "Ragtime", of course. Enjoyable watching old trooper Jimmy Cagney play the police commissioner in that film. |

While we're stretching NLA to NYC for a bit-- Stanford White's "love nest" was not at MSG but rather across the park at 22 West 24th St-- it collapsed from neglect (if not from structural stresses in the White era) a few years ago. (The lot is now used as a parking lot.) Quote:

I thought I'd look for E. G. Morrison's tent. Instead, I found one which I think says "Coffee and Ice Cream Parlor" (on the flag), and another selling Fruits, Candies, Lemonade and Cigars. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original Huntington Digital Library |

I'm recalling that we decided that there were briefly two Carpenter's for a time at Sunset and Vine, one on the Northeast corner and across the street on the Southeast corner, hence the two Sunset Blvd. addresses in the 1936 CD, the reason being the construction of NBC on the Northeast corner. I am guessing the Carpenter's that's being recently discussed is the one on the Northeast corner? |
As luck would have it, today's Julius Shulman post also takes us to Santa Monica. It's "Job 3403: Allison and Rible, Rand Corporation (Santa Monica, Calif.), 1962". This is the only color image in the set. The black Thunderbird and red/white Chevy really stand out amongst the other drab colors.

There are three other images in the set which just show similar angles, so I left them out. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...3.jpg~original All from Getty Research Institute The building was white and gray in 2004. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...4.jpg~original www.californiacoastline.org It was demolished not long after the picture above was taken, and the site is now Tongva Park. As you can see from the image below, the RAND Corporation has moved a couple of blocks south. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...5.jpg~original Google Maps |
Brings back memories. Meeting with Willis Ware and the other pioneers of computer security there and at SDC. Followed by beer and burgers at the Oar House. [Dries tear, carries on :-)]
