Trouble for Autry and the Angels

Posted on July 12, 2009 by lmharnisch

July 12, 1969: Akron has hip-huggers … guitars … clock radio/desk lamps.

How wide was the gulf between the Angels and Dodgers? Consider this
item from The Times' radio columnist, Don Page, discussing Gene Autry's
troubles:

"This should be a particularly depressing week for Autry, the Angels
and Channel 5. By Sunday, Channel 5 will have dispensed five Angel
telecasts into Southland parlors–all opposite Dodger radio games when
Vin Scully is describing the hottest week of the L.A. team's season.
Pity the Angel ratings."

There was plenty of speculation that Autry was going to tap Channel
5 general manager Doug Finley to become president of the Angels.
Finley's most recent claim to fame was boosting Channel 5 news ratings
by hiring former LAPD Chief Tom Reddin.

Found on EBay — Enrico Caruso

Posted on July 11, 2009 by lmharnisch

Caruso in "I Pagliacci."

What appears to be a collection of ephemera given by Enrico Caruso to Rosa Ponselle has been listed on EBay.

There is no strong tie to Los Angeles, although both of them performed here. For example, Caruso appeared in a Met production of "Lucia di Lammermoor" in 1905 at Hazard's Pavilion and Ponselle was at the Hollywood Bowl in 1923.

I'm noting these items because there may be a few Caruso or Ponselle fans among the Daily Mirror readers who would enjoy knowing about them. Bidding starts at $429.99.

Dear Friend

It's too hot for indignation but maybe, with a cool drink, we can muster a little pique.

I
refer to a certain type of unsolicited direct mail pitch. A large
envelope shows up in the mailbox. How the outfit got your name and
address you don't know.

Inside is a mimeographed letter
addressed to "Dear Friend," stating you have been recommended for
membership in a "new, exciting and convenient way of shopping."
Superimposed in large type is the admonition, "Send no money."

TO GET IN ON THIS
excitement you will want the catalog and to get the catalog all you
have to do is fill out the enclosed application and return it in the
reply envelope. This is where the pique comes in.

The
application wants to know your name, address, age, whether single,
married, separated or divorced, the name of your employer and how long
you've worked there. So far, routine. But then it wants to know, "What
are your present earnings?" And the name of the bank where you have an
account.

Remember, you didn't send for anything, you don't want anything — only to be left alone.

I say it's an impertinence and an invasion of privacy.

A MAN NAMED EDDIE asked his wife to go deep-sea fishing with him over the week end and got this evasive and somewhat double-edged reply:

"No,
I don't think I will. I'm afraid I'd get seasick. Besides, there've
been a lot of boat accidents and I don't want to get dumped in the
water with all those sharks around. You go, though, but leave your
wrist watch home."

SAFETY FIRST
To drink and drive is
    treacherous
For accidents are grim
So he who drinks just
    like a fish
Should park his car and
    swim.
    — PEARL ROWE

DEATH OF retired
Adm. Harry E. Yarnell in Newport, R.I., this week brought a grateful
eulogy from George Krain of the SC photo department.

Krain, a
White Russian, was a newsreel cameraman in the Far East when the
Japanese bombed the gunboat Panay in the Yangtze River in 1937. Because
he photographed the pillage of Nanking he became a fugitive from the
Japanese. Five of his countrymen were executed.

He appealed for
help and Adm. Yarnell, commander of the U.S. Asiatic Fleet, got visas
for him and his wife to enter this country.

"He saved our lives," Krain said. "We will never forget him."

THE HEAT
is getting to people. A man entering Spring St. building stopped,
muttered something, then reached down and pulled a blue tie out of one
pants leg. . . . And a painting publicist, returning from lunch, gasped
to his companion, "I'll race you to the air conditioning!"

EDWARD L. LASH,
3751 Bagley Ave., L.A., survivor of the Norway hotel fire in which 17
were killed, writes Nellie Byrne of the Byrne Travel Service from
Edinburgh, "I think the 22nd of June was our lucky day. We arrived at
the Stalheim Hotel and for the first time on our trip were given a room
on the first floor. The fire broke out on the second floor and spread
upwards. Three in our group were burned to death. Others were killed
jumping from windows."

FOOTNOTES —
A photog on another paper always puts his glasses and keys on a desk
when he returns from an assignment and heads for his darkroom. If he
wonders why his key ring has gotten so heavy lately, his colleagues
have been adding a key a day. . . . Regarding supposedly unused watch
pockets in men's trousers, R.R. Auerbach of La Jolla Sportswear says,
"We don't try to figure out the whys — all we know is people want them
in, used or not". . . .A lady Mike Molony knows malapropped to her dog,
"If you don't behave I'll pick you up by the scum of the neck and throw
you out of the house!"

Smog Blinds His Objectivity

Traveling newspaper correspondents — for want of something better to report — get their kicks by diagnosing the ills of each city on their itinerary.

And
usually, because of deadlines and harassment by their editors, they
have to do it fast. Like, say, 20 minutes after they check into their
downtown hotel, they've got to unlock their typewriter and begin
recording their impressions.

This gives them time to glance at
the headlines of the local press, talk to two bellboys, a cab driver
and one waitress and overhear an argument between a middle-aged matron
and a room clerk.

The results generally are similar to the following, a recent summation of the city of Los Angeles by a correspondent of London's Daily Express:

"This
is America's smog city. The filthy, swirling muck is as much a menace
here to health and happiness as it is in London and Manchester…

"Whereas New York goes to ridiculous lengths upwards, Los Angeles goes to ridiculous lengths sideways.

"It
is in area the world's largest city — as all its taxi drivers never
fail to point out proudly during their 20-mile, $5 drives.

"The result is appalling for city living.

"Two million, five hundred thousand people are smeared thinly over a 450-square mile area of perpetual suburb.

"Your neighbor is a half-hour drive away, your supermarket a healthy trek, your local pub a plane trip.

"A novelty shop on Hollywood Blvd. claims to sell 'real stardust — gathered electromagnetically from outer space, with the aid of the latest scientific techniques.'

"Yet all the star-dusted creatures are supposed to live within a few blocks."

Taking
this man's comments as a whole, I've got to admit that he encountered
some pretty observant bellboys, waitresses, and cab drivers.

But there's one point where I take exception — that crack about it being a plane trip to your local pub.

That's not true. And it's just this kind of propaganda that gives us a bad name all over the world.

While
on the subject of plentiful pubs, I'm sorry to report that through some
clever lobbying, the proponents of Senate Bill 1093 maneuvered their
pet through the House and Senate in Sacramento, and onto the desk of
Gov. Brown for signature.

Booze Sale Near Schools

The legislation opens up to retail liquor establishments
and bars some previously protected territory around certain schools,
institutions and hospitals where it would be dangerous, or at least ill
advised, to peddle booze at the premises' gates.

It's pure special interest legislation. It's going to make a few people rich. (Or richer, as the case may be.)

And that's a rotten reason for permitting it to become law.

If you're interested in stopping it, drop a card to Gov. Brown. His veto can kill it.

As
proof that the public can have the final say in government if it's
willing to speak up, an ordinance outlawing pinball machines went into
effect this week in El Monte.

The profitable pinball pay-off
games — for years well protected by selfish interests in the community
— were finally put to a vote a couple of weeks ago after some
intensive petition passing by concerned parents in the area.

The citizens effected the ban by a 535-to-334 vote.

Architectural Rambling — Ray Watt

Posted on July 11, 2009 by lmharnisch

Oct. 10, 1963: The Times' real estate section features an 80-acre tract on Sepulveda Boulevard in Torrance being developed by Ray Watt, who died July 7.

The condo development was called New Horizons–South Bay and was praised by Times Real Estate Editor Tom Cameron for a 10,000-square-foot clubhouse and recreation building, a nine-hole golf course, putting green and swimming pool. Cameron also noted that the project had underground utilities and a wall around the perimeter that eliminated "interior streets, which makes the community completely pedestrian-oriented."

But it wasn't for everybody: "Residence is limited to families in which one spouse must be 35 years old or more or to single persons that age or above. No children under 18 years of age may be permanent residents."

Traffic Officer Killed Near Hollywood Bowl

The Times never reported the outcome of charges against Frederick Krupp in the death of Officer Ferris E. Stansell.

At left, on July 11, 1941, Officer Ferris E. Stansell is killed while directing traffic near the Hollywood Bowl. His widow, Marie, takes a job as a school crossing guard. I can imagine some reporters groaning about an assignment like this: 25 years escorting kids across the street. But Donna Scheibe turns it into an interesting story.

July 11, 1889: One of the best things about the 1880s newspapers is that The Times wrote about everything. One of the more controversial issues before the Police Commission is what to do with all the prostitutes in Los Angeles. Accusations of false arrest … appointment of a police matron … selling off the department's old horses … it's all here.

Found on EBay — Charles Mulford Robinson

Posted on July 10, 2009 by lmharnisch

A plan for Honolulu, 1907

In the early 20th century, Charles Mulford Robinson wrote a series of books on beautifying cities and developed specific plans for such places as Detroit and Los Angeles. Robinson proposed that Los Angeles build a Union Station, straighten Spring Street and plant jacarandas. He also advocated a scenic drive from downtown to Pasadena and a large library on 5th Street. Sound familiar?

A copy of his plan for Honolulu has been listed on EBay. It's priced at $85, a bit expensive for an ex-library book, but it's hard to find.

Luckily, many of Robinson's books are available at archive.org. But not the plan for Los Angeles.

My San Francisco
spy has smuggled through the mail a clipping of a sports column by
Prescott Sullivan in the S.F. Examiner as follows:

"Ingemar Johansson demonstrated that he is the possessor of a devastating right-hand punch when he upended Floyd Patterson for the heavyweight championship of the world. Last week the handsome, affable Swede demonstrated that he is also the possessor of an orderly, analytical mind.

"In Goteborg, his home town, Johansson
said it looked like Los Angeles would be the scene of his first defense
of the title and that would be fine and dandy with him. 'I like Los
Angeles because I've never been there,' he declared.

"THINK IT over
and you'll agree that never having been there is the best possible
reason for anyone liking Los Angeles. What other reason is there for
liking it? Can L.A. be liked for its smog, its monstrous freeway
traffic jams or Charlie Park, the scorekeeper who did Sad Sam Jones out
of a no-hit game? Is it to be venerated for its oppressive heat, its
crackpots, the Dodgers or Braven Dyer?

"For years we have been
trying to puzzle things out. Now a young Swede, to whom the English
language is strange and difficult, shames us by making it all look so
easy. Ingemar Johansson likes Los Angeles because he has never been there and no one could sum it up more succinctly than that."

My,
my, such bitterness. They must really hate us up there. And we always
say such nice things about S.F. Only thing to do is smile and whip out
the population figures.

"OH MEMORY, thou fond deceiver!" wrote Oliver Goldsmith. It certainly is.

The
boys on the copy desk were discussing the new sales tax on cigarettes,
which make them 30 cents a pack in the office vending machine, and a 2nd World War veteran reminisced, "Gosh, remember how cheap they were in the Army PBX?" That's what he said — PBX.

JULY 4 has disappeared into limbo for most people but not quite for writer Alvin Sapinsley.
He and his wife, Elizabeth, were having supper in the patio of their
Sherman Oaks home around 8:30 p.m. when something hit with a sharp,
cracking sound on the roof not too many inches away from his head and
bounced onto the driveway. It was the nose cone of a .45-caliber bullet
— copper-colored and warm.

Another panel you will never see in the sitcom legacy version of "Peanuts."

The current legacy strip: "It's a Laugh Track, Charlie Brown."

He went up on the roof and found a
deep dent it had made. By fitting the slug into the hole he determined
it apparently had been fired from somewhere around Mulholland Dr. and Beverly Glen Blvd.

He
called the police and an officer was sympathetic and made a report but
said there wasn't much he could and actually there wasn't.

The
disturbing thing is that five minutes before the bullet struck, his
wife had wondered if they could see the fireworks from the back yard.
He'd said he didn't think so and suggested, he recalls with a shudder,
they go up on the roof for a better view.

she wanted to be there when the box came. "What box?" Julia asked.
Turned out Donna somehow had gotten the idea that the pink slip was a
ruffled pink seat cover. Breaking the news was like telling her there

Mash Notes and Comments

"Dear Paul,

"Have you taken a close look in the mirror recently?

"Well, we here at the Encino Summer Playhouse have. And do you know what we saw?

"YOU — as an actor!

"Now we are prepared to offer you a deal. We'd like you to take part in our play, 'Laura,' which opens July 24 for two weeks.

"How
would you like to have your name up in lights in front of our theater?
That's a pretty exciting thought, isn't it? Just think of the comment
it would cause among your close circle of friends.

"Your first reaction is probably something like this:

" 'Aw, go on. I'm too busy writing a column and doing a TV program every day.'

"Sure, you're busy! We're all busy!

"But a true artist never thinks of that. All he can think of is the excitement of opening night —

"The
blaring overture…A quick once-over of the script to make sure you
know your lines…The butterflies in your stomach doing the
minute-waltz incha-cha-cha time…The last minute touches to your
makeup…Then, the creak of the curtain going up in all its faded
glory…And there you are — in the flesh — for all the world to see!"
(signed) Bill Dodge,Encino Summer Playhouse, 4935 Balboa Ave., Encino.
— I'm not going on like that unless the rest of the cast does.

"Dear Sir:

"A
compulsion drives many imperfectly educated men, like the writer, to
put words on paper expounding theories and opinions that spring from
the bottomless well of their imagination; an imagination that is
renewed by contact with the works of literary giants and is similar to
the method used by Antaeus to renew his strength.

"A representative example of this compulsion follows:

"Parkey Sharkey
exists as the California counterpart of the British 'man who never
was,' although neither run much danger of being tagged with a Social
Security number.

"There is one significant difference between
these two illusions: the 'man who never was' played a vital role in a
desperate war, while Parkey Sharkey is the embodiment of his creator's
frustration, tinged with revulsion, which is the natural result when an
imaginative writer like you is forced into contact with the helpless,
the downtrodden and the foolish.

"In short, a sensitive person
must resort to such allegorical devices if he is to remain at all
objective on the job in the face of the ceaseless waves of human misery
beating against his desk…

"That's it. Or rather, it's only it until the next time the trigger is pulled by a remembrance, an article, a word. What do you think?" (signed) Harold Parrow, P.O. Box 42507, L.A. 42.
— What should I think? You've just told me that my best friend in the whole world is only a hallucination.

"to Paul,

"I have two jobs now, when I get through cleaning up the Oasis bar, I deliver Chinese dinners for a Chinese resterant.

"The other night I asked the Chinese cook, what you got for supper???

"He
ran off a list of Chinese dinners which I had never heard of before. I
had never had a Chinese dinner before, Paul, so I said Chow Mein, without the chopsticks. I can't eat with them.

"Paul, my wife is driving me nuts.

"The
other day she walked a 82-year-old man home from a bar. He was drunk.
They were crossing the street at a signal when his pants fell off him,
and my wife had to pull his pants up for him in the middle of the
street." (signed) Parkey Sharkey, c/o Oasis Bar, Menlo Park.

Just
a
reminder on how this works: I post the mystery photo on Monday and
reveal the answer on Friday … or on Saturday if I have a hard time
picking only five pictures — sometimes it's difficult to choose. To
keep the mystery photo from getting
lost in the other entries, I move it from Monday to Tuesday to
Wednesday, etc., adding a photo every day.

I have to approve
all comments, so if your guess is posted immediately, that means you're
wrong. (And if a wrong guess has already been submitted by someone
else, there's no point in submitting it again.) If you're right, you
will have to wait until Friday. There's no need to submit your guess
five times. Once is enough. The only prize is bragging rights.

Body of Missing Woman Found in Car Trunk; Dodgers Win in 13th Inning

Posted on July 10, 2009 by lmharnisch

July 10, 1959: A heatwave sears Southern California as a fire threatens homes in the Linda Vista neighborhood of Pasadena.

More attacks are feared in Vietnam after a bombing kills two American advisors.

An Inglewood police officer putting a ticket on a car that hadn't been moved for two days discovers the partially clothed body of a missing Fresno woman in the trunk. On the front seat is a sweater and a pair of Capri pants, a front tooth and blood.

The victim is identified as Mary Jean Prestridge, 26, the wife of a truck driver and the mother of two children.

Police are looking for a young man seen with Prestridge in Fresno shortly before she vanished.

Caryl Chessman plans a new legal battle against his death sentence. The court reporter in Chessman's original trial died during the proceedings and court reporters said his notes were illegible. When a reporter was finally found who could transcribe the notes, Chessman discovered that he was an uncle of the prosecutor's wife. Chessman has been in prison since 1948.

The Dodgers' games against the Milwaukee Braves are fascinating to
study since the teams finished the regular season tied and faced each
other in a playoff to decide the 1959 National League champion.

In a typically close game, the Dodgers edged the Braves, 4-3, in 13
innings. The Dodgers moved into second place with the victory, wedged
between the first-place Giants and the third-place Braves.

What stood out was how pitching has changed. Milwaukee's Warren
Spahn took the loss after pitching 5 2/3 innings in relief of starter
Joey Jay.

Spahn was still a top pitcher. He would win 21 games in 1959, the
fourth of six consecutive seasons with at least 20 wins. What was he
doing coming out of the bullpen?

The Dodgers' relief staff was similarly quiet. Roger Craig was the
winning pitcher and he really earned it, pitching the final 11 innings.
There's a reference in the story to how few pitches Craig threw, but 11
innings is a lot under any circumstance. Wonder how many pitchers the
Dodgers and Braves would use in a similar game today.

And this wasn't a rare case. The next afternoon, Don Drysdale came
out of the bullpen to pitch the Dodgers past the Braves in the final
game of the series. Drysdale had pitched two scoreless innings the
night before, but the game was rained out in the third inning. He was
scheduled to pitch the first game of the next series in Cincinnati but
was called in when Sandy Koufax struggled. There was no one else?
Drysdale pitched six innings.

It's impossible to imagine a current manager juggling such a star pitcher.
