The building "embodies the distinguishing characteristics of. an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction".as an example of lnternatlonal Style architecture, 2. The building is associated with a master builder, designer, or architect, as a work by the architect William Lescaze. 3. The property reflects "the broad cultural, economic, or social history of the nation, State or community" for its association with the development of radio and television broadcasting in Hollywood. 4. The property is identified with historic personages, with several prominent figures of the entertainment industry of Hollywood. CRITERIA The criterion is the Cultural Heritage Ordinance which defines a historical or cultural monument as any site (including significant trees or other plant life located thereon) building or structure of particular historic or cultural significance to the City of Los Angeles, such as historic structures or sites in which the broad cultural, economic, or social history of the nation, State or community is reflected or exemplified, or which are identified with historic personages or with important events in the main currents of national, State or local history or which embody the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction, or a notable work of a master builder, designer or architect whose individual genius influenced his age. SUMMARY Built in 1938 and located at 6121-6125 Sunset Boulevard in the central Hollywood area, this is a complex of five .interconnected buildings arranged around a central plaza exhibiting character- defining features of the International Style. The central plaza is anchored by a six-story office building, a three-story building facing the plaza, and an adjacent two-story studio building . constructed in 1949. All buildings are flat-roofed and constructed of smooth unornamented concrete wall surfaces. The ground floor of the office tower is recessed and contains pilotis-style colonnade of seven rounded columns. The upper four floors have uninterrupted bands of horizontal windows with metal mullions continuing perpendicular onto the front elevation. The west elevation contains an additional band of horizontal and clerestory windows on the third to sixth floors and porthole windows. The fourth and fifth floors have a large projecting tab facing Sunset Blvd. that formerly held oversized letters spelling "CBS: The upper sixth story is recessed from the front and east elevations and has an interrupted band of glass brick on the corner of the front and west elevation. Adjacent to the tower along Sunset Blvd. is a one-story building with a solid flat surface lined with billboards. The two-story building adjacent to the central plaza also contains a pilotis-style colonnade of six slender rounded columns with an uninterrupted ribbon of windows on the upper floor. Recessed behind the columns is a shade screen consisting of horizontal strips of metal running the length of the facade. Recessed floor to ceiling casement windows line the building and are rounded at the corner of the building. The front-facing three- story building is mostly obscured by vegetation. The plaza space is closed off by fencing. 6121-6125 Sunset Blvd. CHC-2008-3990-HCM Page 3 of4 The subject building complex was designed by architect William Lescaze. A pioneering architect of the International Style, Lescaze was responsible for the design of the landmark Philadelphia Saving Fund Society Bank Society Bank and Office, known as the PSFS Building (1929-33), regarded as the first International Style skyscraper. This building was featured in the ground- breaking 1932 International Exhibition of Modern Architecture at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City which effectively coined the term "International Style." The subject building complex was built as the west coast headquarters of the Central Broadcasting System (CBS), a national radio network established in 1928 by William S. Paley. Its inauguration ceremony was held on April 2ih, 1937. Housing KNX Radio, the subject site hosted radio programming with such notable figures as Eddie Cantor, Rosemary Clooney, Bing Crosby, and Gene Autry. In 1949, the complex was expanded for television production and hosted shows with figures such as Jack Benny, Red Skelton, George Bums and Grace Allen, and Johnny Carson. In 1951, the pilot for "I Love Lucy' was filmed in the studios. The subject buildings were also used as recording studios for such artists as Bob Dylan and Barbara Streisand. The local CBS affiliate, KCBS-TV, and later KCAL-TV, also operated out of the studios. In 2007, the subject property ceased operations as a broadcast facility. Later alterations to the subject property include the 1949 addition of the television studios, removal of original signage, covering of ground floor windows, and the enclosing of the plaza space with fencing. DISCUSSION The CBS Columbia Square Studios building property successfully meets four of the specified Historic-Cultural Monument criteria: 1) "embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction," 2) reflects "the broad cultural, economic, or social history of the nation, State or community," 3) is associated with a master builder, designer, or architect, and 4) is associated with a historic personage. As a building designed in the International Style by a noteworthy

Reviews Keith Loria, on theatermania.com, called the show “a tender glimpse into the Hineses’ rise to fame and a touching tribute to a brother.” Benjamin Tomchik wrote in Broadway World, that the show “seems determined not only to love the audience, but to entertain them, and it succeeds at doing just that! While Tappin' Thru Life does have some flaws, it's hard to find anyone who isn't won over by Hines showmanship, humor, timing and above all else, talent.” In The Washington Post, Nelson Pressley wrote, “’Tappin’ is basically a breezy, personable concert. The show doesn’t flinch from hard-core nostalgia; the heart-on-his-sleeve Hines is too sentimental for that. It’s frankly schmaltzy, and it’s barely written — it zips through selected moments of Hines’s life, creating a mood more than telling a story. it’s a pleasure to be in the company of a shameless, ebullient vaudeville heart.” Maurice Hines Is .

  • King Sister Yvonne Burch Dies at 89
    King Sister Yvonne Burch dies at 89 (AP) – 4 hours ago SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Yvonne King Burch, who gained early fame as one of the singing King Sisters during the big band era before launching her entire extended musical clan into show business as the King Family, has died. She was 89. Burch died in a Santa Barbara hospital Sunday, where she was taken for injuries she suffered in a fall last week, said her daughter, Tina Cole. Burch was the matriarch of the King Family, a popular and enduring show business dynasty. She spent three decades singing and recording with the King Sisters, one of the most popular vocal groups of the 1930s and 1940s. A Grammy nomination for their Capitol Records album "Imagination" capped the group's career in 1959. In 1963, Burch conceived and produced a benefit concert with her sisters and three dozen relatives including brothers, husbands, wives, aunts, uncles and children that marked the debut of the King Family. The King Family appeared on "The Hollywood Palace" before headlining their own TV special. Strong fan response led to two variety series and 17 specials during the 1960s and 1970s. The family appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show" and performed with entertainment legends, including Bing Crosby and Dean Martin. Besides landing a national concert tour, the clan recorded five albums for Warner Brothers. The family showcased its multigenerational talent with performances by the King Cousins and the King Kiddies. The King Sisters performed and toured with big bands led by Horace Heidt and Artie Shaw before starting their own orchestra with Luise King's husband, Alvino Rey.

A chance meeting between 2 old friends at Dartford railway station marked the beginning of 50 years of rock and roll. In the early 1950s, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger were childhood friends and classmates at Wentworth Primary School in Kent until their families moved apart.[8] In 1960, the pair met again on their way to college at Dartford railway station. The Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records that Jagger carried revealed a mutual interest. They began forming a band with Dick Taylor and Brian Jones from Blues Incorporated. This band also contained two other future members of the Rolling Stones: Ian Stewart and Charlie Watts.[11] So how did the name come about? Well according to Richards, Jones christened the band during a phone call to Jazz News.

  • Celebrating Uncommon Courage
    th Celebrating5 Annual Gala Uncommon Courage Hollywood, CA | March 28, 2018 Hosted by Lauren Ash Mission The California Fire Foundation, a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization, aids fallen firefighter families, firefighters and the communities they protect. Owned and operated by California Professional Firefighters (California Lou Paulson Professional Firefighters is the largest Chair of California Fire Foundation statewide organization dedicated exclusively President of California Professional Firefighters Over 30 years in the Fire Service to serving the needs of career firefighters), the California Fire Foundation’s mandate includes an array of survivor and victim assistance projects and community initiatives. Note from the Chair As a former career firefighter, I have experienced the shattering loss of comrades on the frontlines, and seen countless tragedies affecting the people and communities of this great state that I love. Not too long ago, we could expect fire season to last a couple of months, however the “new normal” we have come to endure is a year-long fire season. California’s ongoing drought has greatly exacerbated this compound threat to public safety, creating a deadly mix of hotter, more intense and more unpredictable fires. This current state of affairs has severely heightened the risk of life, limb and property of our citizens and our first responders. When tragedy strikes, whether it’s a fallen firefighter’s family at home or the station that are left behind, or the victims of fire and natural disaster that are left in peril, it is my priority, as Chair of the California Fire Foundation, to assist those impacted. We are there at every step, providing aid to our first responders, families of the fallen, and victims of devastating loss.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

  • ROCK'n'roll's 1ST DECADE Week Three
    ROCK'N'ROLL’S 1ST DECADE Week Three: Rock in the Mid-1950s Recommended Listening: Chuck Berry, The Anthology (Chess, 2000). Two-CD, 50-song compilation of his most essential tracks from the mid-1950s through the early 1970s, including hits and his most influential non- hits. These include some of the most familiar and most-covered songs in all of rock, important both for the quality of the songwriting and the many classic riffs in tunes like "Johnny B. Goode," "Roll Over Beethoven," "Rock and Roll Music," "Sweet Little Sixteen," and "Reelin' & Rockin'." The single-disc collection The Great Twenty-Eight contains most of his most well known songs. Johnny Cash, The Sun Years (Rhino, 1990). Cash is usually considered a country artist, not a rock one. There's no denying, however, that much of his mid-1950s material for Sun had a rockabilly and pop-rock flavor. This has his most popular recordings for the label, including the hits "I Walk the Line," "Ballad of a Teenage Queen," and "Folsom Prison Blues." Fats Domino, Fats Domino Jukebox: 20 Greatest Hits the Way You Originally Heard Them (Capitol, 2002). Fats Domino had more than 20 hits, but this has the most famous ones by the greatest exponent of New Orleans rock'n'roll, including "The Fat Man," "Ain't That a Shame," and "Blueberry Hill." Wanda Jackson, Queen of Rockabilly (Ace, 2000). Commonly and rightfully referred to as the best woman rock artist of the 1950s, Jackson was more than that. She was one of the best rockabilly singers, period.
