"P.S. I didn't mention the "Dollar Line" because. .um. . I don't know what it is." The "Dollar Line" was a worldwide steamship line that existed from 1902 to 1938. Its ships were named after American presidents, and when it failed the fleet became the American President Lines. https://www.ggarchives.com/OceanTrav...html#gsc.tab=0 Cheers, Earl |

:previous: Thanks, Earl. _____________________________ We can't have a conversation about statues without mentioning Myrna (Loy) standing in front of Venice High School. Here she is today. (now in bronze) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/922/2oByWw.jpg seeing-stars I know that we've discussed Myrna's statue in the past but I happened upon a couple of photographs that we might have seen before. Here she is before the 1933 earthquake. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/922/GxgcaE.jpg The dude in front is a V.H.S. student named Doug Armstrong. Amazingly, Myrna survived the earthquake!..The school, not so much. :eek: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/923/elgJFV.jpg hometownstohollywoood But over the years Myrna's arms crumbled and were rearranged. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/UNBwpc.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/M7tden.jpg I'm not even going to mention the butt-ugly fence. :slob: BELOW:..Myrna's broken arm(s) is visible in this scene from the movie Grease. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/RfbGZJ.jpg hometownstohollywoood Myrna's statue was saved from further deterioration and eventually a new statue was made after the original design and cast in bronze.

Here's another pre-earthquake photograph of Myrna and her two friends. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/YpKYwn.jpg tessa-lapl We've no doubt seen this photograph in the past (but I couldn't resist) . |

Beaudry post: Anna May Wong
Thank you for the excellent post. Just curious if you know whatever happened to those trees that she planted in Chinatown Plaza 1938? It seems like they were taken down or perhaps replanted elsewhere. Sorry I don't have any pics to post so I hope you are familiar with them. |
So the X PO Theater only lasted as a porn theater for less than a year.
Well.... that happens. It's nothing to be ashamed of. |

5th Avenue Theater, 2541 W. Manchester Blvd. Inglewood, CA https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/1dXtT2.jpg eBay via LIBRARY OF CONGRESS The only time I saw a porn in a theater was a double bill at the Nuart Theater in West L.A. The two films were a 3-D xxx porn and John Water's Pink Flamingos (as the main feature). The highlight of the porn, and the only scene that I remember, involved a giant dildo that 'floated' out over the audience until it was directly over heads. haha :laugh:...A Cinematic Masterpiece! . |

mystery location. Here's a slide that I've had on hand for a couple of weeks. Hollywood, California 1960s https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/hqrRcZ.jpg eBay . |

How 'bout a parade!.. Burbank, California..1940?...early1950? https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/ld2yTo.jpg eBay Unless I'm mistaken the insignia on the truck pulling the airplane is Bock Co. Thanks for finding Arzy's Racket Shop, Noir Noir. :)..Your guess is as good as mine about what's inside cardboard box, CaliNative |

FWIW. The Bock Co. was a civil engineering and roadwork firm. You can just see the tip of a Civil Air Patrol insignia on the fuselage of the Ercoupe in the parade.
