http://atombobs.com/wp-content/uploa...02/fizzies.jpg Fizzies fizzled in the 1970's, had a very short revival in the 1990's and then again in the 2000's and, to my surprise, were available until about a year ago when they were discontinued again, though some online retailers are still selling them! I remember these things. It seemed to me us kids were more interested in playing with them than in drinking what I remember as having a pretty nasty taste. |
Fans of the Hotel Antlers--and, deep inside, who isn't a fan of the Hotel Antlers?--will be interested in this bit of ephemera I picked up. Front, and the back with its jottings.

This poor suffering man woke up at 4 a.m. to tell us of another fizzy product of the era, this one on the medical side of things.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...psz1tqrkrg.jpg http://www.vintageadbrowser.com/medicine-ads-1950s/13 Fizrin was a familiar sight in my parental household. I well remember the feeling of tearing open the metallic packets; and the product actually had a rather refreshing taste. |
The LA Radium Craze
We've discussed LA's radium quackery before. I don't recall this ad. The item seems to cure just about anything except ingrown toenails.
I think that I would prefer Fizrin. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psvylkyif2.jpg file CD |

They screwed open to hold a scoop of ice cream, and when closed back up one end went into a glass soda pop bottle. You'd then sip through the straw on top for an "'instant' ice cream float." "The name and shape were inspired by the Soviet "Sputnik" satellite." (I thought so! :)) __ |

Arrested, October 15, 1948 http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...923/kmAQmH.jpg ebay below: I'm hoping someone can help decipher was this says. Something about...Earl Carroll...vagrancy....marijuana. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/WgasYe.jpg reverse I believe it mentions that one of the girls (Vicki Evans on the right) was involved in the notorious drug arrest with Robert Mitchum a month earlier. (see below) http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...923/04SDXm.jpg http://framework.latimes.com/2014/10...na-charges/#/0 Sept. 1, 1948: Scene after police took four people into custody on charges of marijuana use. From left: policeman, actress Lila Leeds, real estate agent Robin Ford, actor Robert Mitchum and dancer Vickie Evans with her back to the camera. This photo was published in the Sept. 2, 1948, Los Angeles Times. ----------------------------- From the Times article: Sept. 1, 1948: Actor Robert Mitchum, age 31, and starlet Lila Leeds were reportedly caught smoking marijuana during a police raid at the actress’ Hollywood Hills home. Two others were also arrested. Mitchum told police that he and another friend were in the neighborhood looking to buy a house when they stopped to visit Leeds and her roommate, dancer Vickie Evans. The actor said he had trouble finding the home on Ridpath Drive, which one narcotics agent described as “ideally situated to be a ‘reefer resort.’ It is perched on a hillside, with no near neighbors, and well-screened by shrubbery.” Mitchum said: “The girls let us in and five minutes later Vickie went to answer the door and the police entered.” Following his arrest, the actor “was by turns as full of remorse as one would expect from a top-bracket star,” the newspaper said. “At other times he was full of philosophy as one might expect from an up-from-the-ranks player who once said he arrived in California by bus with his wife and only $26.” ------------------- :previous: Does anyone know the address of the house on Ridpath Drive?

I believe the caption indicated the purple line was just the shortest route from downtown to Santa Monica. I don't know about the yellow line. https://664me.files.wordpress.com/20...nica.png?w=940Glalagi Driving Simulator I was wondering if other parts of Los Angeles commemorate Route 66 and its history? I know of three "Historic Route 66" markers in West Hollywood. In 2010, in conjunction with the Museum of Neon Art, the city had an exhibition placed along the median on Santa Monica Blvd. of some neon road signs, originally fond along Route 66. There were also color brochures distributed with locations of current neon signs along the route still in existence. I wish the neon exhibition was still here.

HOLLYWOOD, CAL.: Deputy sheriffs of the anti-vice squad swooped down on the Vet's Club, an "after hours" nightspot, at four a.m. this morning(10/1), nabbing 27 men and 9 women who were taken to the county jail for booking on either gambling or vagrancy charges. Among those taken were Earl Carroll Show Girl Marie L'Angelle (L) and Dancer Vicki Evans (R). Ms Evans was one of four arrested a month ago in a marijuana raid involving actor Robert Mitchum. The girls are shown as they awaited booking in the county jail. |
