Historical Points of Interest 3 Introduction This booklet is intended to provide a brief glimpse into the rich history of Apple Valley. The sites listed are in no way meant to be a comprehensive list, nor is omission of a site meant to place less historical value on it. Information has been provided on the back cover to submit suggestions of other sites to consider for future editions. The Town of Apple Valley wishes to thank the committee members and many others who researched sites and provided photographs. How it Began There are many stories as to how Apple Valley acquired its name. According to the late Mary Hampton, local historian, the name arose from the abundance of apple orchards that existed here in the 1920s. Unfortunately, with the Great De- pression and the expense of pumping water for irrigation, the orchards withered. Some say the name originated from The Appleton Land Company that was based in this area in the early 1900s. Appleton was an early surveyor of the area. Ursula Poates is credited with saying, “There were apples here, but not by the ton!” A temperate climate led to the establishment of many health retreats in the early 1900s. They touted the dry desert air as a cure for ailments of all sorts, including tuberculosis and asthma. Other ranches provided a haven for shell-shock vic- tims of World War I, while still others developed into guest ranches. The modern developers of Apple Valley include realtor Newton T. Bass and B.J. Westlund, who were part- ners in the oil and gas industry in Long Beach, CA. West- lund and Bass formed the Apple Valley Ranchos Land Co. in 1946 and marketed the area as a destination resort and qual- ity residential community. They also constructed the former Apple Valley Inn and Hilltop House, providing a recreational outlet for the rich and famous celebrities of Hollywood. 4 Town of Apple Valley Dedication This first edition of the Apple Valley Historical Points of Interest booklet is dedicated to the memory of Eva Conrad. A pioneer in Apple Valley, she was the fiery and often outspoken editor of The Apple Valley News from 1950 to 1983. A member of the Apple Valley Historical Advisory Committee for many years, her newspaper archives provided a rich source of history for our research. Throughout this publication you will find tidbits of information gleaned from her archives. The dates rep- resent the date the story was printed in the newspaper. They provide a window into Apple Valley’s past as seen through the eyes of Eva Conrad—reporter, pho- tographer, pilot, politician and businesswoman—a part of Apple Valley history herself.

Woody Historical Points of Interest 5 Terri Lee Doll Factory 15001 Wichita Road, cross-street Dale Evans Parkway The Terri Lee Doll factory operated in Apple Valley from about 1952-60. The Apple Valley plant offered several new ideas that helped make a world- renowned name for the Terri Lee doll. The site of the Terri Lee Doll Factory is currently used as the Apple Valley Library. The Terri Lee Doll was an innovation developed by Violet Lee Grahwohl in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1946. A fire destroyed the original plant, and the company moved to Apple Valley. The dolls were based on Violet’s daughters, Terri Lee and Connie Lynn. Grahwohl said her goal was to develop a doll that was indestructible. Terri Lee was the first doll with hair that could be washed and set and had a complete, good quality wardrobe, with costumes ranging from a cowgirl to ice-skater. There was even a specially designed pattern for her clothing so you could sew your own outfits. Another first was the lifetime guarantee. If your Terri Lee Doll was broken or damaged, you could send it to the “hospital” located in Apple Valley. This location on Wakita Road was used to design and make the Terri Lee clothes, hand paint the dolls’ eyes, curl the dolls’ hair and do other finishing work. The molds for the dolls were made in metal buildings on Central Road and High- way 18. It is interesting to note that Mr. Bob Paluzzi, owner of the building for the past 30 years, is a former vice- president of Terri Lee Dolls. 6 Town of Apple Valley Railroad Tie House 21849 Waalew Road This very unique building was built entirely from used railroad ties which were purchased from the Cement Company in Victorville by Dr. Roscoe C. Steele, a local chiropractor. He designed and built the building by him- self. When completed in 1951, it became his office for the next several years. Although the building is very small, it presently has a kitchen, living room, bedroom and a bath. Dr. Steele and his wife, Lois, lived in the main house next to the railroad tie house. Mrs. Steele was nationally known as the Desert Weaver, weaving fabrics of unusual beauty for skirts, ponchos, stoles and also tableware. Her shop and looms were in the small house on the west por- tion of the property. Since being vacated by Dr. Steele, it has been used for many years as a rental unit. January 27, 1950: The first edition of the first newspaper printed in Apple Valley hits the stands. The Apple Valley News was published and written by Eva and Bud Conrad. Historical Points of Interest 7 John Charles Thomas’ Romany Hall 21066 North Outer Highway 18 John Charles Thomas was born in 1891 in Meyersdale, PA. He studied at the Pea- body Conservatory from 1909 – 1912, after which he be- came an established star of Broadway musicals. A baritone, he made his operatic debut in 1924, singing with the Royal Opera in Brussels and the Metro- politan Opera House. In addition to his opera perform- ances and frequent radio broadcasts, he sang over 70 re- citals a year all across the country. During WWII, Thomas performed at military bases and at Victory Bond rallies. A pioneering figure in radio, Thomas' long broadcast- ing career made him a favorite across the country. He per- formed with radio greats such as Jack Benny, Bing Crosby and Al Jolson, and hosted his own popular West- inghouse Hour. Thomas introduced Home on the Range and many popular songs familiar to Americans today. He was also the first to sing “The Lord’s Prayer,” put to mu- sic by his friend Albert Hay Mulatte. Thomas was one of the foremost patrons of women composers in the twenti- eth century, with the works of 92 women composers in his library. After his concert career ended in 1955, Thomas re- mained active in light opera, continuing his radio and tele- vision career, and becoming director of the Music Acad- emy of the West. He continued teaching and championing young artists until his death in 1960. This house was constructed in the early 1950s with five bedrooms and five baths in a U-shape, with a large 8 Town of Apple Valley John Charles Thomas Romany Hall hall in front. He never lived here, but used it to teach music to youth of the area, and also formed the “Apple Valley Roma- nies Singers,” using the house for practices. The Romanies per- formed at the Apple Valley Inn and for early Apple Valley Pow Wow Days. John Charles Tho- mas also started KAVR, the first local radio station, with broad- casts from the Apple Valley Inn. The station signed off each day with Thomas singing the Lord’s Prayer. April 28, 1950: Apple Valley Country Club opens the golf course for play. It was initially opened to the public, but they were warned, “cowhand boots were taboo.” August 4, 1950: Public-spirited citizens met at the Brand- ing Iron to hear the results of a report that took nearly a year’s preparation by the Fire Protection Commit- tee.

  • Forgotten Splendour
    FORGOTTEN SPLENDOUR A Chronology of the North Shore Music Festival 1909 to 1939 by Andrew Cottonaro Beginning in 1909 and lasting until 1939, the North Shore Music Festival of Northwestern University was a significant musical and social event in the Chicago area. For a few days each Spring, the campus hosted a diverse body of performers in a series of grand concerts. Naturally, some of that era’s most eminent singers could be heard there. Their presence certainly helped to sell tickets and their artistry helped to sustain the festival as a popular and critical success. Now, sixty years later, the festival hardly even counts as a faded memory. To date, two books (in part), offer a general outline of the festival’s history, but both lack any detailed analysis of who appeared and what was actually sung. This is the first attempt to present a chronology of the vocal offerings (quite distinct from the orchestral offerings) at the festival. Northwestern University, the official sponsor of the festival, is located in Evanston, Illinois (USA). The town is a suburb of Chicago, directly north of the city and on the banks of Lake Michigan. Because of this geographic position, Evanston and the other cities of the area are called the North Shore, hence the origin of the festival’s name. Northwestern University was incorporated in 1850 and gradually won recognition for its academic excellence. The establishment of musical studies, however, was a tangled web of many failed efforts. In a final and desperate attempt to salvage musical education, the university’s board of trustees in 1891 appointed Peter Christian Lutkin (1858-1931) to direct musical studies, a post that he held until his death.

  • Carousel of American Music”--George M
    “Carousel of American Music”--George M. Cohan, Irving Berlin, Johnny Mercer, Arthur Freed, Shelton Brooks, Hoagy Carmichael, others (September 24, 1940) Added to the National Registry: 2015 Essay by David A. Banks (guest post)* Ann Ronell Gene Buck William William Grant Still I In September 1939, New York's Mayor Fiorello La Guardia ran into Gene Buck, President of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP). Buck and La Guardia talked about the war in Europe, which was adversely affecting the New York World's Fair (1939-1940), with many nations dismantling their pavilions. The Mayor wondered if something could be done to take New Yorkers' minds off the war news. Buck mentioned that ASCAP was observing its 25th anniversary. ASCAP was founded to collect royalties for its membership by licensing their works for public performances. ASCAP's membership includes the greatest names in popular and classical music. La Guardia suggested a series of concerts to celebrate the anniversary. Buck agreed saying, “We will put on a show for you the likes of which has never been seen anywhere.” The “New York Times” ran a frontpage story, “Gala Week of Free Music in City to Be Held to Allay Gloom of War.” “We'll having everything from ballads to opera,” said the mayor, “from symphony to swing, and the program will be a monument dedicated to art and to peace.” The Gala Week was a hit, with ASCAP members continuing to give concerts until the end of the Fair. Concurrently, the Golden Gate International Exposition was being held in San Francisco on Treasure Island.

The opera is the first that Handel composed in England and is said to have been written completely in a fortnight. It is noted for its fine musical line and classical style. Papagena! Cara!
