"I can't imagine what having the last name of Tingley would be like, but I like saying it." Clyde Tingley was a well-known (and amongst his allies, beloved) New Mexico politician, serving as both mayor of Albuquerque and governor of the state. Here's the statue of him and his wife at (where else?) Tingley Beach Park. Kids love shaking his hand. http://offtheroadnm.org/blog/wp-cont...ie-720x540.jpg Cheers, Earl |

But before we get to the twisty road, one of the cars (with a tower on top) goes under a smallish railroad trestle. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...922/I6KSBM.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...922/Ga4yRu.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...923/4qtDYV.jpg [5:20-5:28] At the end of the scene two trolleys go by as the two men dangle from the bridge.

E.R., The busy road seen through the old buildings could be anywhere but my guess is Glendale Blvd. near Baxter, Duane and Fargo. My reasoning is it was undeveloped at that time and a stones throw from the studios down the street.

Madame Tingley
Quote:
There is no more prominent Southern Californian named Tingley than "Madame" Katherine Tingley, founder of "LomaLand," the San Diego headquarters of the Point Loma Theosophical Society/University and "School for the Revival of the Lost Mysteries of Antiquity." Sounds like something from a 1940's Republic Serial. Many here know that LomaLand is now the Point Loma Nazarene University. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...924/4pZYOK.jpg Theosophist "Madame" Katherine Tingley https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ingley.003.jpg Much has been featured here about the 1911/12-1924 Krotona Theosophical Colony and its curious "Moorish/Indian" buildings on Krotona Hill overlooking Beachwood Canyon in Hollywood. It's not clear (to me) if Madame Tingley had any direct association with the Krotona Colony, especially as there were various disagreements and factions among Theosophists during Madame Tingley's time. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...922/lr4U6d.jpg A Krotona Colony home on Temple Hill Drive in Hollywood https://la.curbed.com/2014/5/22/1009...st-dreamland-1 A prominent Theosophist who lived on Krotona Hill was Christine Stevenson, an heiress to the Pittsburgh Paint fortune who built Hollywood's Pilgrimage Play Theatre. I also notice that Saturday Night Live comedian Andy Samberg and his wife purchased "Moorcrest," probably the most spectacular of the Krotona Colony houses. Moorcrest had been lived in during the 1920's by both Charlie Chaplin and actress Mary Astor. A footnote: a Theosophist couple from New York State claimed to have received a psychic revelation to reject Madame Tingley's brand of Theosophy, and they founded a Theosophical community between Santa Barbara and Pismo Beach in 1903 and named it "Halcyon." According to Wikepedia, there is still a small community of Theosophists there. Krotona was established in 1911-1912 - but eventually escaped the "corruption" of Hollywood in 1924 and moved to Ojai, a place they believed was "impregnated with occult and psychic influences." It is interesting that the Krotona Colony established themselves while Hollywood was still a mostly rural place of quiet foothills, canyons, and pepper Tree-lined roads, and within 12 years it grew explosively into the bustling "Motion Picture Capitol of The World." An article with photos from "Curbed Los Angeles" about the history of Hollywood's Krotona Colony: https://la.curbed.com/2014/5/22/1009...st-dreamland-1 Also, a photo of the spectacular Victorian mansion in Halcyon/Oceano, California where a pre-Krotona Theosophical Community was established in 1903: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/hE3iXL.jpg ...and the strange story of the house from "Weird California:" http://www.weirdca.com/location.php?location=277 |

Theosophical Colonies
To add an odd touch of synchronicity (since I understand that the core beliefs of Theosophy include an element of "ancient Egyptian mysticism"), some readers here may know that in the vicinity of Halcyon-Oceano, California there are the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes, where Cecil B. DeMille buried his fantastical "dream city of the Pharoahs" set after filming "The Ten Commandments" in 1922/23:
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...923/ydoXFG.jpg 1923 "The Ten Commandments" set before burial in sand dunes. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/wp-cont...20-870x667.jpg Now THAT was Hollywood!...as Norma Desmond would've said. No CGI there. You wonder who in the heck designed and actually built sets like that? "Master Craftsmen" hardly gives enough credit.

below: It's on the horizon in the center of the screen-grab below. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...924/wSBrFi.jpg As you can see it's much larger than any other building in the area. Does anyone have an idea what it might be......a school perhaps? a closer look. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/0aGAsd.jpg I thought someone here on NLA might be more familiar with Rowena Heights than I am. Help! :) _ |

Rowena heights
Ethereal:
It'll be interesting if someone can identify that bldg. Meanwhile, you may not be too familiar with Rowena Heights, but I certainly hope you are familiar with the fabulous "ROWENA CAPRI." (Just kiddin.') http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...922/fipLRA.jpg https://ssl.cdn-redfin.com/photo/40/...5-879995_2.jpg On a similar note, there was a classic dingbat apt. house at Franklin and Tamarind (I think) called the "Copa Capri." What a name. Don't know if it's still there |

JeffDiego, here's the house when it was the Halcyon Hotel and Sanitarium. [c1915] Dr. William H. Dower and Mrs. Francia LaDue founded a branch of the Theosophical Society in Halcyon Cal. called the Temple of the People. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/Q7aaUU.jpg sanluisobispo Dr. Dower bought the three-story Coffee T. Rice home, and turned it into the Halcyon Hotel and Sanitarium. He specialized in treating alcoholism, drug addictions, nervous disorders and tuberculosis. Dr. Dower and the Theosophical community emphasized learning and a scientific approach. The sanitarium had the best private library on the Central Coast aside from William Randolph Hearst’s collection at San Simeon. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/3BNmZa.jpg sanluisopisbo Dr. William H. Dower and his wife, Jane, outside the sanitarium. A sitting room at the Halcyon Hotel and Sanitarium. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/ZmAf5u.jpg sanluisopisbo The hospital’s activities ended with Dr. Dower’s death in 1937. Today the home stands in the middle of a mobile home park along Highway 1. __ |
