The first is from a book called 'Filipinos in Los Angeles' by Mae Respicio Koerner. It shows a large dining room during the Fourth Inaugural Banquet and Ball of the Philippine Junior Assembly. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...CafeParee1.jpg books.google.com The top of the page was missing from the PDF file where I found this article, but the URL suggests it's from a 1936 edition of the California Eagle. The Café De Paree apparently played host to 3,000 rowdy Union Pacific dining car employees. I like the line about the flowers on the tables making it resemble "a Chicago gangster's funeral". http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...CafeParee2.jpg www.fultonhistory.com (PDF file) This November 1936 edition of Automatic Age describes "a truly excellent dinner" at the Café De Paree which took place in September of that year. The occasion was the Coast Coin Machine Show and Frolic. The cafe only had to deal with 1,500 diners that night! http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...CafeParee3.jpg aa.arcade-museum.com (PDF file) As for Paul Perrot, an article on forgetthetalkies.com names him as one of the first owners of the Hollywood restaurant Café Nikabob in 1928. The other owners were Nick Krause and Bob Cobb (of Brown Derby Restaurant fame) after whom the restaurant was named. The article also links Paul Perrot's name to the Montmartre and the Ambassador Hotel. See post #3759 for a picture of the Nikabob. USC has an April, 1930 edition of the Southern California Daily Trojan which mentions "Bob" Brown and His Southlanders playing at Paul Perrot's cafe. Just to confuse things, this article appeared in the same publication a few months earlier in January, 1930. It describes Ray West (a headline act from the Cafe Lafayette adverts I found) as being the "proprietor of his new Ray West cafe ... formerly Paul Perrot's cafe". http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ulPerrots2.jpg USC Digital Library I wonder if these 1940s establishments in San Luis Obispo were owned by the same Paul Perrot? http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ulPerrots3.jpg http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ulPerrots4.jpg eBay |
:previous: Excellent information HossC. -thanks for answering my question.
__ I found the following two photographs on a site called RED TIDE COMING/ http://www.memoriastoica.tumblr.com/...ngeles+history They're both dated 1958. "Looking north on Hill Street from 7th St". (I like the Bullock's August Clearance banners....very silky looking :)) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/673/qKCUHh.jpg http://www.memoriastoica.tumblr.com/...ngeles+history "Looking west on 7th from Olive." http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/633/seSVGr.jpg http://www.memoriastoica.tumblr.com/...ngeles+history The people standing in the street waiting for a street-car are getting hit with some nasty exhaust fumes. That's the Statler Hilton at the end of the street (recently demolished for the 1,100 ft. Wilshire Grand Tower). __ |
I don't believe I've heard of this John's Café before.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/905/UsXWYj.png http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...y_of_Hollywood "John's Café in Wilcox Hall at Hollywood and Cahuenga Boulevards, was Hollywood's first celebrity restaurant. 1917" from- 'The Story of Hollywood' by Gregory Paul Williams __ Wilcox Hall? -have we discussed this building on NLA |
When I saw this photograph on eBay earlier today, my first thought was to see if the house was still there so that I could do a "then and now". Despite a good bit of Googling, I haven't found an address yet. I did, however, find some of the story behind the caption. In October 1932, three-year-old Nancy Irene Buchanan was kidnapped by 20-year-old Ruth Borman, the girl's real mother. The house is described in one of the articles below as "the palatial home of her foster-mother". Mrs Violet Buchanan had been Nancy's foster-mother since hours after her birth, and was her legal guardian.
http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...1.jpg~original eBay Ruth Borman took Nancy from her nursery, and with the help of her friend, M E Warner, drove her to this shack near Newhall. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original eBay This article from the October 27, 1932 edition of the Sandusky Star Journal contains a lot of background to the case. For some reason the sub-headline incorrectly gives Mrs Buchanan's name as Virginia. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...yBuchanan3.jpg newspaperarchive.com Another article from the same day - this one is from the San Jose News. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...yBuchanan4.jpg news.google.com "Distraught unmarried mother, Ruth Borman," was arrested on a charge of kidnapping. This article appeared in the October 28, 1932 edition of The Palm Beach Post. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...yBuchanan5.jpg news.google.com Here's a picture of three-year-old Nancy Irene Buchanan from the October 29, 1932 edition of the Geneva Daily Times. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...yBuchanan6.jpg fultonhistory.com A week later, and Ruth Borman is released from county jail on a habeas corpus writ. Her accomplice, M E Warner, was also released. As reported in the November 5, 1932 edition of the Berkeley Daily Gazette. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...yBuchanan7.jpg news.google.com Can anyone track down the address of Violet Buchanan's house, or find out what became of any of the people involved? |
