Thanks Hoss. All I can say is...that's quite a distortion!

I don't believe we have seen this before.

Looking from Wall Street between 8th and 9th Streets, early 1930s
https://i.postimg.cc/bwkVgD83/Lookin...th-Streets.jpg [source: California Historical Society] Some of you may already be aware if this...but if you're not, let me share: The California Historical Society's Digital Library has a superb collection of photographs showing Los Angeles (and some nearby cities) in 1932-1933. All are from one photographer, Anton Wagner. There are 439 (!!) photos in the collection. Here's a link. Clicking on "Clip Image" at the top of any image will reveal a link to let you freely download a relatively high resolution jpg copy. |

I have a two questions concerning this postcard.
#1 Where the heck is/was Johnson Garden? :shrug: #2 Can a lily pad really float with two kids on it? (or have they been superimposed into the pic) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/1CukHf.jpg originally from ebay Giant Lily in Johnson Garden, Hollywood Cal __ |

http://www.paulrwilliamsproject.org/...sed-thumb5.jpg old files That night was the Founding Ceremony for the new building and Peggy Lee was Dr. Holmes' companion [his wife Hazel was deceased]. I had met Dr. Holmes several times before. People were polite and did not approach Peggy as this was not a celebrity event. In those days I was too shy to say anything to her. Our family had reserved seats in the first rows. My stepfather was on the Board of Directors. The church complex had been designed by noted architect Paul Williams....he's been profiled here before. many photos of it in link below>>>>> http://www.paulrwilliamsproject.org/...950s-churches/ The construction was a multi million dollar project. The original seating upholstery was bright blue....that's what I remember. The church building is a Los Angeles Historical site. |

I was just going to ask about Ernest Holmes.
He looks like an intense fellow. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/w1WAGg.jpg wethoughtrevolutionary He reminds me a bit of Houdini. (looks wise) |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...sonGarden1.jpg books.google.com I'm assuming that the Laughlin Park they refer to is the gated community in Los Feliz which was once home to people like Cecil B DeMille, WC Fields and Charlie Chaplin. It's apparently still popular with showbusiness folks. |

Perry Mason Sunday
I don't know if the Parker Center has been taken down to the ground yet, but here's a shot from "The Case of the Mythical Monkeys" (first aired Feb 20, 1960)... https://i.postimg.cc/tC2tTw94/pmparkerctr-bmp.jpg Another location used in the same episode was the apartment building still at the nec of Las Palmas and Waring... https://i.postimg.cc/CLhM76kD/pmlaspalmas1-bmp.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/MK3wDZW2/pmlaspalmasdetail-bmp.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/yxWQYH2c/pmlaspalmasdoor-bmp.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Y9t2PXZJ/pmlasp...now-UT-bmp.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/43Qsp6yw/pmlasp...oornow-bmp.jpg That's actress Lori March--later big in soaps, apparently, and married to Alexander "The Voice" Scourby. Doing her own stunts. "The Case of the Mythical Monkeys" is a PM episodes full of interesting actors--among them March and Beverly Garland, who is excellent as Mauvis Mead, the author of a trashy novel mixed up with the mob. Normal Fell (who's easy to get mixed up with Jack Klugman) also appears--and last but not least, there is the defendant, none other than Nurse Ratched, Louise Fletcher. And a mystery building: https://i.postimg.cc/MK0n9QnM/pmmyst...nebldg-bmp.jpg cbs.com/GSV |

Have we seen photos of Clifton's on Hollywood Blvd.? Recently noticed billboards of the era advertising this location "Holly-Western" and it is clearly listed as 5510 Hollywood Blvd. on page 2957 of the '34CD. Location would have been near the Apollo Theater. http://jpg2.lapl.org/theater1/00014449.jpghttp://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=40455 and http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=40478 |
