If she was in silent films, I bet she used a stage name. I can't imagine her using Vittitoe. __ |
Snapshot, Los Angeles August 1965.
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...538/AByVxQ.jpg eBay :previous: I believe that's the Gower Street entrance to the old RKO Studios down the street. I was pleased to see that the small bungalows visible in the 1965 snapshot are still there! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/128...673/V6KcS2.jpg gsv But there are about six of them.....so I'm not 100% sure which two appear in the vintage photograph. here's one http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...538/fqDhnW.jpg detail / gsv and here's another. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...673/CiD4IY.jpg detail / gsv Aerial showing the old RKO entrance and the line of bungalows on the opposite side of the street. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...537/5Pb2Er.jpg google_aerial __ |

I was surprised to see Jean Arthur (mentioned earlier today by Martin Pal) was a featured player in "The Return of Dr. Fu Manchu" (1930).:previous: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...910/fWbEUt.jpg newspaper clipping from http://www.njedge.net/~knapp/movies1.htm Here are three shadowy publicity photos from "The Return of Dr. Fu Manchu", 1930. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/910/2s2ScO.jpg http://filmnoirphotos.blogspot.com/2...an-arthur.html http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/538/0UqrAF.jpg http://filmnoirphotos.blogspot.com/2...an-arthur.html http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/661/9f6LEn.jpg http://filmnoirphotos.blogspot.com/2...an-arthur.html and last but not least, a graphic. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/661/uuYkvM.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Re..._Dr._Fu_Manchu __ |

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-a...91015%2BPM.jpg gsv P.S. This whole group, with the possible exception of No. 751 (the only one with bars on the windows), look very cared for. I suspect they belong to the studio or related businesses. Maybe producers' bungalows or guest houses? |

no-man's-land. You have to clamber across a railroad right of way and over to a miniature station house. Not too people friendly. I guess you had to be tough in those days. The concept of level boarding of trolleys was an idea that had not yet come of age back in 1935. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psrzoqafco.jpg digitallibrary.usc.edu |

Re: Mary Vittitoe of "Mary's Lighthouse"
A couple of census records show a Mary S Vittitoe of Los Angeles, born 1902, which would make her a plausible 18 at the time postcard came out. Cheers, Earl |
This photograph accompanied an article about Frank Gehry's 'redesign' of the Los Angeles River. (the news just broke)http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/l...ry.html#page=1
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...540/GKiZEY.jpg http://www.latimes.com/ I'm trying to figure out what's going with the square opening and large steel cover(?) next to it. Are those 'piers' hollow?..it looks like you can see daylight through the other side. :previous: Also look at all the cracks that have been haphazardly sealed below it. __ |
Remember these two unsolved 'mystery' photographs?

The seller just added a third photograph on eBay, so now hopefully we can figure out the location. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/661/NxNnYo.jpg eBay I'm leaving town for a couple days. I'll leave the sleuthing to you. :) __ |

This article is from the April 1931 issue of Flying Magazine. It says that Arrigo Balboni's yard was on Riverside Drive. The 1932 CD gives the exact address as 1543 Riverside Drive. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...goBalboni1.jpg books.google.com And here's the man himself: 6/13/1933- Arrigo Balboni of Los Angeles poses with an airplane motor built in 1907. It is a 3-cylinder Elbridege used by Glen Martin in the 1910 air meet held in Los Angeles. The motor has no crank case, and the grease cups on the side supply lubrication for the bearings. The pilot had to return to the field every 15 minutes or so, to give the grease cups another turn. This motor was used by Glen Martin in 1910.http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...goBalboni2.jpg www.corbisimages.com |

a bit more success playing Commissioner Gordon on the Batman television series. ___ P.S.: Also not a fan of Frank Gehry nor his designs. |
And here's Commissioner Gordon-to-be Neil Hamilton with daughter/Batgirl-to-be Yvonne Craig in the 1958 Perry Mason "The Case of the Lazy Lover."

On this anniversary of the Tate-LaBianca murders, here's a collection of Rosemary LaBianca's credit cards. I guess even in 1969, women still weren't allowed to have their own credit cards? Mrs. Leno LaBianca... I don't even think I've seen a "Mr." or "Mrs." on a credit card before.
