I was aware of his history - Elmer Keith lived across the street from us when I was a kid.

My father was a railroad special agent. He carried a S & W .38 on a .44 frame with special sights sold by Elmer Keith.

Country Cousins market
 

We used to shop at a Country Cousins in Costa Mesa (approx 40 minutes south of LA) It might have been a second location, i think it was built in the 60's

Water Pipeline of America



Maybe this isn't the proper forum, but about half of the city's water is out of the Colorado River, via Lake Havasu and the Colorado River Aqueduct.....as you know the Colorado is essentially drying out, clearly something must be done....I find this idea intriquing.

This appears to be feasible: an 868 mile concrete pipeline (2 tubes) from the Mississippi at Davenport IA. to the headwaters of the Colorado River at Rocky Mountain National Park.....the water is then dumped into the Colorado, eventually gets to Lake Mead/Lake Powell/Lake Havasu and re-fills these resevoirs....yes, the water needs to be pumped uphill when the pipeline gets to the Rockies, this is accomplished via Centrifugal Pumps, an ancient and proven technology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pump)....the pumps will be powered by vertical wind turbines installed every 2 miles.

The comparison is the Alaska oil pipeline, which runs 800 miles, and was constructed in 3 years....with 1970's technology!....if the thing ever leaks it's just water, so no environmental impact.

The Mississippi periodically floods at Davenport....so reducing the flow is actually a benefit for IA.

This pipeline only traverses 2 states, IA. and NE., I can't see much political opposition in those states....

If I was the Biden administration I would be all over this, hell, I would get Elon Musk to assemble the team, he's a can-do kind of guy....estimated cost $120 Billion, that is relatively cheap given the benefit....massive job creation as well, during construction and even after construction for maintenance, management etc.

The whole plan is here....

I believe CSUN has got it wrong. If you compare the Google street view at the same camera angle, this photo is the Glenoaks Blvd. location. Mountains in the background are a dead giveaway. I would have liked to post the Google view, but I'm not sure how to do so. BTW, I worked about a half mile down Polk St. from here for 19 years.
Andyszy

umm-- back in 1976/77 I was up to some "frisky business" with a coworker during a lunchtime exploration of the park-- was surrounded by high shrubbery-------

If we're talking mega-projects, the one to channel water from the Missouri River to the Ogallala aquifer has been seriously considered. (No need to cross the Rockies.) A more Noirish mega project is the one to save the Salton Sea.

I'm looking for old photos of 726-740 Hartford Ave. Is anyone able to help out!?

These posts from four years ago by ethereal_reality and HossC feature 740 Hartford Ave.

If you look closely at the photograph of the man carrying the mutant sweet potatoes
there is a woman in the doorway looking out towards the photographer.

Judging by the house next door I'd say the kitchenette is on the side of the house. (not that it matters)

We have seen gay this and gay that but I don't recall if we have the Gay Inn.

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/Q7xOQW.jpg

As you can see. . it was located at 710 1/2 South Hill Street.



The photographs (there are two) inside the folder are of a nice looking, well dressed, woman.

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/923/SaW8Wp.jpg

It makes me wonder if she worked at the inn or if she was merely a customer.





Let's take a closer look at the black and white snapshot.

Oh, how I wish I knew where she is in this photograph.




There is a date stamped on the back of the folder but it's rather difficult to read.

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/DKaC06.jpg

It looks like the year is 1935 but the woman's appearance suggests (to me) 1945.

I just wish they spelled Rehearsal correctly.

The posting about Gay Way at 514 S. Main led me on my usual Odyssey looking into that address, which proved quite interesting in little ways. It's pleasant to get acquainted with the characters and population of the town, and their doings:

Leaving aside the address's successive service as a fish store, furniture store, market, hardware store, curio shop, hall for the Independent Order of Foresters, and various incidences of crime, not to mention that it accommodated boarders upstairs, a few interesting items remain. We start for a moment on Wall St.:

https://i.postimg.cc/5tf2mBsn/514-SM...1904-10-21.jpg
LA Times, 10/21/1904

The abovementioned Mrs. Coe lacked nothing in spirit, and the papers over a decade had a light sprinkling of her tussles, her high point perhaps being an emotion-filled appearance in court in which she called her opponent a monster. The judge had to rein her in. Her opponent the monster prevailed in the case.

Focusing more closely on our Main St. address, we draw in a familiar Angeleno family now, as well as another name already known to NLA:

https://i.postimg.cc/QVLXK1Bg/514-SM...1921-10-16.jpg
LA Times, 10/16/1921

Mrs. Ducommun was the widow of Charles Ducommun, whose hardware store founded in 1849 is familiar to students of old L.A., and that business still exists, now serving the world of technology, as the oldest continuously-operating firm in California. Mrs. D. would die November 28, 1926, at the age of 83. Meantime, search of NLA will find mention of Mr. Toplitzky, a very active dealer in real estate.

By 1930, the site was on the way to its Gay Way persona, and fits all the criteria for Noirish Los Angeles:

https://i.postimg.cc/y8yZBY5p/514-SM...-1930-1-19.jpg
LA Times, 1/19/1930

We've neglected the adventures of the upstairs boarders, and so will end with this outspoken fellow in the depths of the Great Depression:

https://i.postimg.cc/VLjSBkYs/514-SM...-1933-2-24.jpg

Food and shelter? Such frivolous desires.

odinthor, thanks for posting the information relating to 514 S. Main St. The newspaper article about the 'Girlesque' show (above) piqued my interest so I tried to find a photograph of Dixie Lee. . .but the only Dixie Lee that kept appearing in my searches was this scantily clad Dixie Lee. (the 2nd photograph is supposed to be her too)

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/F1RyFz.jpg


https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/h2oMBX.jpg


You might be thinking, "Well, that's probably her, Bruce." but this Dixie Lee was married to none-other-than BING CROSBY!..
They were married on Sept. 29, 1930)

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/n19U1G.jpg

Initially I thought odinthor might have uncovered a scandal that had been swept under the rug after her marriage to Bing Crosby
but just this afternoon I read that, at the time of the marriage, Dixie Lee was more famous than the relatively unknown Bing Crosby.

Sadly, Dixie Lee Crosby died in 1952 of Ovarian Cancer at the age of 42. : -(

Mystery house-garden from 1914
 

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out where these 1914 movie scenes were filmed. The location appears to be a large house with a garden featuring urns (a particularly large urn, almost human-sized, can be seen in photo 1 at the far left).

This house has a room that overlooks the garden and stairs that descend to it (second picture below).

Any ideas? I've been looking at pix of houses that were around then but haven't come across anything definitive.

Thank you!

Where have all the hats and caps gone? It is said when JFK rarely wore a hat, that was when the decline started. But my recall is that by the 1950s, fewer men wore them except when going to work, when hats were expected on office workers arriving as much as ties. Hats on women also began to decline about the same time. The helmet like cloche hat worn by the woman in the foreground was on the way out as 1929 ended, replaced mostly by smaller beret-like hats. By the late 1930s and 1940s, larger and more flamboyant hats made a return on women, some oddly shaped like upside down shoes, etc. and often sporting flowers and fruit, perhaps inspired by popular Brazilian star of the time Carmen Miranda. The type of cap worn by some of the men in the photo also declined and were rarely seen by the 1940s. Baseball type caps began to gain in street wear in the 1940s and 1950s among kids and working men. Baseball caps were often worn by military men in WW2 at work in the hot South Pacific or southern Europe or North Africa outside of battle. The bill kept the sun out of the eyes, and the rim caught the sweat.

I don't have an answer to that, but I was looking at the youtube link. I'm not sure I've ever heard of The Oz Film Company. Nor that L. Frank Baum wrote and directed any film versions of his stories! At least this noted one, His Majesty the Scarecrow of Oz (1914).

A little searching finds a few interesting things. This link, HERE, has some info about this company:

Oz Film Company: Founded in 1914, this company, also known as The Oz Film Manufacturing Company, produced silent films based off L. Frank Baum's books, most notably the Oz series. Every single one of them bombed commercially. The movies they made had various colors and custom themes playing over it, like silent films traditionally do.

In 1915, this company would be absorbed into Metro Pictures (now Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). Only four of their films are known to survive: The Patchwork Girl of Oz, His Majesty the Scarecrow of Oz, The Magic Cloak of Oz and The Last Egyptian, the last of which is only partially found.

The Wikipedia page, HERE, has further information, including:

The studio was located on Santa Monica Boulevard between Gower Street and Lodi Street. The facility would later be used by Famous Players-Lasky (now called Paramount Pictures) and National Film Corporation of America. It was considered state-of-the-art at the time. It was used almost exclusively for interior shots. Exterior shots were done outdoors rather than simulated in the studio. In some scenes, it is evident that some 'interior' scenes were also filmed outdoors.

In the "Decline" section it's noted: The studio was rented out to others, and was eventually demolished.

In the "Stock Company" section there's a discrepancy. It says, J. Farrell MacDonald directed all of the film productions and acted in some of them. L. Frank Baum wrote all the scripts, however, in the youtube link to the film in question this one has the credit: Written and Directed by L. Frank Baum.

At this link, HERE, some Moving Picture World advertisements, show the address of The Oz Film Manufacturing Company written as: Studio and Laboratories, Santa Monica Blvd., Gower to Lodi Sts., Los Angeles, Cal.

Also, welcome to NLA, Ossrae.

Thanks for your help, Mackerm ...I appreciate it. :)

Anyone recognize these buildings? The first is of a house I am certain we've seen before on NLA, I think I even posted it...some muckety-muck built it out, I think, in Culver City. Just can't remember the m-m's name or the context.

The huge white Colonial building--seems too big to be a residence--I'm thinking may also be in Culver City. Of course I thought of the similar Ince/Selznick studios building, but it's not that....
