There are two entries for him in 1940, the first is on a farm or ranch in San Diego County, with his wife Ann (Cunningham) and the two children. He apparently married Ann in 1932. The second appears to be a rental house he shared with a roomer, a Leonard Nudson (possibly Hudson) This was located on Kelton Avenue and is no longer there. On all three Census listings he is noted to be a sound engineer. He died in Culver City in 1971. A paragraph in Find a Grave notes that he won 12 Oscars during his career. Find a Grave also notes another sister, an actress, Athole Shearer Hawks, born in 1900. She had come to Hollywood in 1919. She married director Howard Hawks. |

Take a look at this beautiful amber flask.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...537/fEUf6w.jpg ebay The seller says: "Here's a 1/2 pint Dandy style whiskey flask embossed:" The Chief Bar - Dan Kearney - 513 S. Main St. "Thanks to some excellent research provided by Bruce Silva at Western Whiskey Gazette, I now know that this saloon was located in Los Angeles. In a 1915 Directory listing, it shows that Kearney lived a few block away at Broadway & 7th in the Hotel Lankershim." I couldn't find The Chief Bar in any of the directories, but here's Dan Kearney listed under Saloons in the 1909 Directory with the same 513 S. Main Street address. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/538/ah6dwP.jpg LAPL In the same 1909 directory his residence is listed as 626 S. Hill. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/745/m4nhe0.jpg LAPL By 1911...513 S. Main St. is listed under restaurants with Milovich & Kressich as proprietors. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/909/lhIQ4q.jpg LAPL One last look at this very cool collectible. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...661/1GkMVN.jpg ebay __ |
I found this rare 1920 snapshot on ebay a couple nights ago.
It shows a very tall Christmas tree in a vacant lot in front of the Los Angeles Herald Examiner Building (built 1914). http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/538/YLn3RV.jpg ebay above: I'm mostly surprised by the large empty lot. Was something torn down, leaving the lot vacant for a number of years? (it's been there long enough to grow grass and weeds around the detritus) -the seller included this large detail of the top half of the photo. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/909/g6ISPV.jpg __ |
Amber glass is very noir....
I love amber glass. ER inspired me to look for some from LA.
To me its very noir and nostalgic. Here is a piece from Little Joe's Italian restaurant. http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps4e2e44d1.jpg ebay |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original Detail of picture in USC Digital Library I went to the 1917 CD to find out who owned it when the picture above was taken, and guess whose name I found complete with Lankershim Hotel address? I didn't find any trace of the Chief Bar, but the 1917 CD does also list a cigar seller called Elmer B Geiser at 513 S Main. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original LAPL Here's the full USC picture - we may well have seen it before. For search purposes, other visible buildings include the Optic and Omar Theatres, the Security Building, the Rosslyn Hotel, Hotel Green and Hotel Leonide. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original USC Digital Library I couldn't find any mention of Colyear's on NLA. Their building in the picture above covers 509-511 S Main Street. Here's their advert from the 1915 CD. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original LAPL |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...rBaist1910.jpg www.historicmapworks.com The 1914 Baist map shows the Examiner Building and the extension of Broadway. The rest of the block has also been subdivided into smaller plots, although it looks like only two or three are taken. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...rBaist1914.jpg www.historicmapworks.com LAPL's smaller version of the picture below was originally posted by gsjansen in post #1621, along with other pictures of how Broadway used to terminate at 10th Street. The Broadway extension obviously hasn't been completed here. It looks like the two small plots shown as occupied on the Baist map are also under construction at the far left. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1914Aerial.jpg USC Digital Library |

Bob Mizer.....LA Noir
Here is a just discovered and previously unpublished photo taken by physique photographer Bob Mizer of Athletic Guild Studio...
Taken in 1957 it appears to show the latest fashion in boy's haircuts. This and other photos were on display at a NY art gallery.. http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps0a11dde8.jpg AMG-Mizer Los Angeles Here is another never published Mizer photo from 1955. It appears Bob did a bit of directing to get the boys to ''look busy''. Corny but cute. Does anyone recognize the street? http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/a...psa24c2fde.jpg AMG-Mizer Los Angeles |
