Briefly describe the present physicaldescription of the site or structure and describe any major alterations from its original condition: South Coast Highway is the primary arterial through the City of Laguna Beach which runs from Broadway Street in the downtown to the southern city limits. Though it is predominantly a commercial thoroughfare now, it was original ly devoted 1argely to beach cottages. Many of the original cottages still remain but are now used for commercial purposes. Subsequent to the development of the homes, South Coast Highway became increasingly important as a commercial roadway, and beginning in the mid 201s, bui ldings began to be constructed expressly for commercial purposes. What exists today is a variety of buildings dating from as early as 1888 in one case to the present. The bulk of homes and buildings itemized here date to the period from 1915-35. Most are in good to excellent condition and are well maintained. A range of uses and styles exists which makes South Coast Highway a unique and dynamic arterial. Styles range from early board and batten settlement cottages to Period Revival commercial architecture. These various styles were executed on bui ldings used as homes, apartments, hotels, gas stations, office buildings and retail stores. Attach Photo(s) Here 8.

Briefly state historical and/or architectural importance (include dates, events, and persons associated with the site.) The forerunner of the present Coast Highway was a dirt road extending from Main Beach to Aliso Canyon. The first entry into the Laguna coast was via Aliso Canyon and Laguna Canyon; it was natural that a coast route 1 inking these two arteries be developed. The first cottages and houses in the area were on the coast and, of course, the coast road was necessary to get people to and from their place of lodging. It was not until 1926 that the road was paved and officially made part of the Coast Highway which now runs from the State of Washington to San Diego. The first buildings to go up along South Coast Highway were board and batten cottages used for dwelling purposes. The earliest houses in Laguna were along the bluffs adjacent to Main Beach and access to these was from the Coast Road. Soon the downtown began to develop as a commercial downtown and Coast Highway was used for commercial purposes as we1 1.

See individual listing. 2. 214 South Coast Highway 1917 with 1927 remodeling (K) A two-story brick building with stucco facing. The building has a box plan with flat roof and the minimum of ornamentation. A tiled canopy string course skirts the upper girth of the building. This building has been a landmark on this corner since the time the artists first started arriving enmass to Laguna. Over the years prior to 1940, the building housed a variety of commerci a1 businesses and cafes. 3. 300-20 and 340 1918 and 1927 (E) What was originally a large shingled house at 300-20 was immediately used as a m restaurant upon its completion. A large front-facing gable distinguishes the building; out of this gable on either side rise two wide and high shed dormers. The steep pitch of the roof and the casement windows are typical of the early Laguna bui ldings which imparted a village scale and character. The White House Cafe was first located in the older of the two buildings, 300-20 South Coast Highway, and was built by Claude Bronner, proprieter of the restaurant. The restaurant did well from the start and was later expanded by the second owner, Richard Bird, in 1934. At that time a tavern and bar were added so that: the restaurant extended the entire length from 300-40. The White House Cafe now occupies only the later addition to the building and the restaurant and bar have been cons01 idated into one building. Second owner Richard Bird bought the White House Cafe for the then astronomical sum of $86,000. He approached Claude Bronner to sell and, hesitant to do so, Mr. Bronner arbitrarily placed a high price tag on the business. To his shock, Bird was prepared to pay the sum in cash, and that was an offer that Mr. Bronner could not refuse.

The central front-f acing gable with half-timbering most distinguishes the building. The original doors and angled showcase windows are still in place below. AS of 1941, this building housed the Pacific Souvenir Shop. Since that time it has always housed a variety of tourist oriented businesses. 6. 400 South Coast Highway 1931 (E) Known as the Heisler Building for its original owner H.G. Heisler, this Provincial 0 Revival influenced building has graced this corner of Laguna since 1931. The building is distinguished by a box plan with mansard roof and steep-pitched gables with a modified turret on the corner. Faced in stucco.and lined with double-hung windows on the second floor, the building contributes greatly to the village quality of downtown Laguna. The building was designed to house two commercial units below and two apartments above. Beginning in 1935, Rason's Drug Store occupied the corner portion of the building where the Jolly Roger is now located. Beginning about this same time, Dr. Conover, an osteopath, established his office here and remained for many years. Howard Heisler, developer of the building, was an important real estate entrepreneur in the early days of Laguna. Along with L.C. McKnight he acquired most of the land which now compromises north Laguna from the Irvine Company and subdivided it in 1906 under the name Laguna Cliffs. This was the first tract in Laguna to have water directly piped to each lot, quite an achievement for its time. This building on South Coast Highway is an important testimony to the memory of an important Laguna pioneer, H.G. Heisler. 7. 424 South Coast Highway 1931 (C) This is an extension to the Heisler building next door at 400 South Coast Highway. it was designed in a similar style and also provided residential units upstairs and m commercial space downstairs. 8. 425 South Coast Highway 1930 (E) This building has been designated eligible for the National Register. See individual listing. 9. 448 South Coast Highwa.y 1934 (K) . < A two-story commercial building with apartments/offices above. The rectangular a plan building features a single gable roof ornamented with brick pilasters on either side of the front facade. The building is sheathed in wood overlap siding. Though not part of the original building, an arcade defined by an arched brick entry now runs through the center of the building. In the early 40's Bird's Studio Shops (domestic and imported gifts) attracted many tourists. Also located fn the lower portion of the building in the 40's was the Pepper Tree Cafe owned by Everett Tawney.

Descriptive Summary Creator: Various Title: Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection Date Span: 1875-1972 Abstract: The Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection consists of 800 playbills and programs for motion pictures, musical concerts, high school commencement exercises, lectures, photoplays, vaudeville, and burlesque, as well as the more traditional offerings such as plays and operas, all from Brooklyn theaters.

From the late 1880s until the 1940s, the period covered by the bulk of these materials, the performing arts thrived in Brooklyn and were available to residents right at their doorsteps. At one point, there were over 200 theaters in Brooklyn. Frequented by the rich, the middle class and the working poor, they enjoyed mass popularity. With materials from 115 different theaters, the collection spans almost a century, from 1875 to 1972. The highest concentration is in the years 1890 to 1909, with approximately 450 items.

  • THE GREAT WAR: a CINEMATIC LEGACY OPENS at Moma on the CENTENARY of the START of WORLD WAR I
    THE GREAT WAR: A CINEMATIC LEGACY OPENS AT MoMA ON THE CENTENARY OF THE START OF WORLD WAR I The Great War: A Cinematic Legacy August 4—September 21, 2014 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters NEW YORK, July 8, 2014–Opening on the 100th anniversary of the day World War I began, The Museum of Modern Art’s The Great War: A Cinematic Legacy runs from August 4 through September 21, 2014, highlighting 60 feature-length films and thematic programs that attempt to provide a comprehensive view of the war as portrayed in film. The various films focus on prewar activities; espionage; the battlefields in the trenches, in the air, and on and beneath the sea; actualités; and the various homefronts before, during, and after the war. Familiar films, such as A Farewell to Arms (1932) and Lawrence of Arabia (1962), along with several lesser-known works from as far away as New Zealand—including Chunuk Bair (1992)—reflect the universality of a war that reshaped the prevailing values of what passed for civilization. In August, the program is predominately drawn from the early years, either during the war or in the succeeding decades, and includes several silent films. The program in September will concentrate mainly on later, more contemporary films up to, and including, Steven Spielberg’s War Horse (2011). The Great War is organized by Charles Silver, Curator, with Dave Kehr, Adjunct Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art. Many of the films in the series deal with the entrenched stalemate in France, including Verdun, Vision d’Histoire (Verdun, Vision of History) (1928) directed by Leon Poirier.

  • Zasu Pitts: Actress 1898–1963 by Barbara Giffen
    ZaSu Pitts: Actress 1898–1963 By Barbara Giffen In April 1994, the ZaSu Pitts stamp was issued as one of a group of ten stamps honoring stars of the silent film era. The stamps were designed by Al Hirschfeld. RAP-ed. A career actress who successfully made the transition from silent movies to talking pictures to television, ZaSu Pitts appeared in over 500 films, according to her own estimates. She was born in Kansas (she gave varying versions of the date), but moved to Santa Cruz as a child and grew up in the family home at 208 Lincoln Street. Her unusual name was the result of her mother's desire to please both her sisters, Eliza and Susan; taking one syllable from each name, she came up with the distinctive compromise of ZaSu. From the time she was performing in school plays at Santa Cruz High, ZaSu Pitts' talent for acting was recognized and encouraged. In 1914 she staged a benefit performance at the local Opera House to finance her trip to Hollywood, and set off to join hundreds of other young hopefuls, with promoter Fred Swanton as her agent. She received her first film credit in 1916, and in 1917 was "discovered" by superstar Mary Pickford. From that time on, she enjoyed steady work, as both ingenue and comedienne. It was director Erich von Stroheim who recognized ZaSu Pitts' potential for more serious roles, and who sought to rescue her from the lightweight comedies in which she had been appearing. In 1923 he cast her in the lead female role—the miserly Tina—in his legendary epic, Greed.

    Universal Pictures: Restorations and Rediscoveries, 1928–1937 Screening Schedule May 13–June 15, 2016 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters King of Jazz. 1930. USA. Directed by John Murray Anderson. In his push to establish Universal as a first-rank studio, Junior Laemmle put two super-productions on the schedule at once: the Oscar-winning All Quiet on the Western Front and this spectacular musical revue built around the popular band leader Paul Whiteman. We’re proud to present the world premiere of Universal’s brand-new digital restoration of King of Jazz, now restored to its full length, with its two-color Technicolor burnished to its original glory. “Rhapsody in Blue,” which Whiteman commissioned from George Gershwin, provides a lavish centerpiece—and a problem for “color supervisor” Natalie Kalmus, since blue was one hue early Technicolor could not reproduce. 98 min. FRI, MAY 13, 7:00 T1; SAT, MAY 14, 2:00 T1; TUE, JUN 14, 7:00 T3 Law and Order. 1932. USA. Directed by Edward L. Cahn. Adapting a novel by W. R. Burnett (Little Ceasar), director Cahn delivers a stylistically innovative, early anti-Western shot through with the violence and cynicism of the gangster era. Walter Huston (whose son, John, contributed to the screenplay) plays a Wyatt Earp–like figure pressed into cleaning up the town of Tombstone—clearly a hopeless task. Harry Carey, star of many early Universal Westerns, lends support. 57 min. SAT, MAY 14, 4:30 T2; SAT, MAY 21, 5:00 T1 Broadway. 1929. USA. Directed by Paul Fejos. The great Hungarian stylist Paul Fejos (Lonesome) received a million-dollar budget for this adaptation of George Abbott’s stage success, a backstage musical with a gangster twist.
