http://imageshack.us/a/img17/9027/aabmixtent.jpg I believe this is the TM brand (circled in red above) that appeared in the tread of his tires. Here it is again, between the dates on his headstone at Forest Lawn in Glendale. http://imageshack.us/a/img849/6453/a...forestlawn.jpg findagrave.com Here is a very early image of a young Tom Mix in 1909. http://imageshack.us/a/img248/1121/aabtommixpc.jpg http://www.okhistory.org/research/index Located in the Oklahoma Territory, Ranch 101 was the largest in the country at that time. This is where he honed all his western skills.....roping....shooting. etc. He was 'discovered' by the Selig-Polyscope Co. when they arrived in the territory to make western movies. The interesting thing about this postcard is that it was made a year prior to his first movie, -Ranch Life in the Southwest' (1910). To see Tom Mix (or his double) jump over Beale's Cut outside of Newhall go here. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=10772 To see Beale's Cut today, courtesy of ProphetM, go here. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=10776 ..and here by DouglasUrantia. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...ostcount=10777 FUN STUFF! I'd still like to go on an expedition out to Beale's Cut. __ |

..per our recent discussion about the Arcade Depot Palm, I thought it might be interesting to briefly revisit the station, especially the magnificent train shed that appears behind the palm in the photograph above. originally posted by sopas_ej http://imageshack.us/a/img542/269/aabarcadesopasej.jpg LAPL http://imageshack.us/a/img35/5459/aa...vacantlots.jpg LAPL I just rediscovered these two glass slides on an old cd of mine. Arcade Depot http://imageshack.us/a/img21/9296/aa...glasssouth.jpg cdom I believe that we've seen this view before, but not on a hand-colored glass slide. http://imageshack.us/a/img545/8993/a...glasssop2a.jpg cdom __ |

Myth v Reality?:burstbubble: 1923 http://imageshack.us/a/img18/470/sth...ead1923tom.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img18/470/sth...ead1923tom.jpg The horse in the Mix three-reeler looks mighty small considering some of the other photos of the Cut. :hmmm: Whatever it's size, jumping even a smaller gap was probably no small feat! Interesting article suggests Beale's Cut's depth has varied over the years from '30 (1854) to '90 feet, and in the words of the author (below), "the still photo was doctored." Having never visited the famous cut, I can't say what reaction I might have, disappointment, awe or a little of both. Quote:

I didn't realize there were escalators in Pershing Squares as early as this.
http://imageshack.us/a/img69/1728/aa...pershingsq.jpg ebay As most of you already know, the building on the left (with the Temple Baptist Church sign) is the remodeled Auditorium Building. the 2,700 seat auditorium building in 1913/remodeled in 1938 by Stiles O. Clements http://imageshack.us/a/img189/6135/aabpersh1913.jpg http://photos.lapl.org/carlweb/jsp/F...olNumber=12884 |
View across Pershing Square showing the same buildings in 1973.
http://imageshack.us/a/img28/5458/aa...ng1973lapl.jpg LAPL I didn't realize street vendors were allowed on the periphery of Pershing Square. _ |
Here is an interesting view showing the back of the Auditorium Building (as well as the back of the Temple Baptist Church sign).
