On the jump, baptismal records are introduced as evidence in a lawsuit over the Workman estate because Los Angeles County didn’t keep birth records between 1881 and 1888, The Times says. |
“Excuse My Dust” is playing at the Million Dollar Theatre.
March 3, 1920: Heirs bring a lawsuit over the William Workman property at Bassett station. “The Days of Real Sport,” by Clare Briggs. This Valentine’s Day cartoon, published March 3, seems to reflect a certain disinterest in being timely. Briggs’ cartoons frequently deal with topics that have passed, like Thanksgiving and Christmas. I’m not sure if there was a time lag in publishing them or comics artists weren’t so concerned with themes 90 years ago.

I was wondering what kind of grease I should use with my Moon motorcar. I was talking to that young fellow, Walt Disney, the other day about this very thing. He has a Moon, a convertible, as I recall. But all he ever wants to talk about is mice. Think of it — basing his future on a rodent. It’ll never work.
