Significance: Theme: Residential Architecture Area: Talmadge Park Period of Significance: 1936 Property Type: Single Family Residence Applicable Criteria: C (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) The historic residential neighborhood of Talmadge Park was established in 1925 and named after movie star sisters Norma, Natalie, and Constance Talmadge. Norma Talmadge’s husband, Joseph M. Schenck, was a major stockholder in the realty firm associated with the project.1 The neighborhood was constructed in three stages in the 1920s and early 1930s. Newspaper articles from the San Diego Union indicate that construction on the first unit of 25 homes was begun in 1923 but that work was not complete until 1925, when a dedication ceremony was held and the first spec homes were available for purchase.2 A second unit of homes followed closely behind the first, and a third was begun in 1926. Talmadge Park was intended to be a quality, designed community with “high-type homes” priced upwards of $150,000 (roughly equivalent to $2 million in today’s currency).3 Advertisements promised wide paved streets (continued page 4).

Description: Continued It is unclear if the stucco is original but the use and finish of the stucco is appropriate for a half-timbered Tudor house of the period. Generally speaking, the windows on the second story are framed with decorative half-timbering and the windows on the first story just have simple stuccoed returns with a wooden sill. EAST ELEVATION The main (east) elevation of the house faces Norma Drive. McAlester identifies the Front Facing Gable with Wing plan as a principle subtype of Tudor Revival houses; this elevation displays the elements of that subtype. A hipped roof with long eaves at the north and south ends dominates the façade and covers the main wing of the house. A front-facing gable is located at the south extent of the elevation. The gable connects to the entry porch, which is roughly centered on the façade. At the north extent of the elevation is a first-story, attached garage included within the main wing of the house. The front facing gable at the southern extent of the main elevation features simple wooden vergeboards; the vergeboards flare slightly at the end of the eaves, creating the illusion of a curve in the roof. There is an arched attic vent in the gable end and a Tudor-arched wood window centered on the first story wall. The gable protrudes from the face of the main wing by approximately two feet. The entry porch is roughly centered on the main elevation and sits at the same plane as the front facing gable. A Tudor arch leads into an entry alcove that contains a wood-paneled front door. The floor of the entry porch is paved with brick; an arched, brick step leads up to the porch and a second arched, brick step allows access to the front door. The entry alcove is flanked by small, vertically-oriented, rectangular, wood casement windows and metal light fixtures. The second story of the house’s main block overhangs the first. Decorative half-timbering surrounds the two sets of paired, wood casement windows of the main wing. These windows feature decorative flowerboxes that are integrated into the half-timbering. Three single casement windows are located in the second story over the attached garage; the plane of this wall is recessed from the rest of the wing and the overhang is located slightly lower. These windows are also surrounded by decorative half-timbering. The rightmost of these three windows has a shallower sill than the other two and is not set as deeply into the wall. The half-timbering pattern is also irregular around this window. However, the design of this window is consistent with single casement windows on the rear of the house and is therefore not likely an alteration. If this window is an alteration, the subtle differences are sufficient to distinguish it from the windows to its left. To the north of the entry porch is a grouping of three tall, narrow, wood casement windows with fixed transoms. The first story of the garage block features two wooden garage doors. These garage doors feature 6-lite windows and decorative paneling and are original to the house. SOUTH ELEVATION The south elevation is dominated by the sloping hip of the roof, which extends down into the first story. There are three tall, narrow casement windows in this wall. These windows are modern replacements (date unknown) but are the same casement type as the originals they replaced and feature the same mullion arrangement. These windows are not visible from the public right of way. WEST ELEVATION The rear (west) elevation faces a gorge and looks down on Aldine Drive. It features the west side of the house’s main block as well as a rear tower wing and concrete patio with fireplace. DPR 523 (1/95) *Required information State of California Natural Resources Agency Primary# DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION HRI # Trinomial CONTINUATION SHEET Property Name: _Charles M. and Elizabeth Henderson House_ Page __4__ of _53__ The two-story, square wing is roughly centered on the rear façade. It has a hipped, roof and overhanging eaves are supported by carved rafter tails. The second story walls overhang the first story walls and feature simple, decorative half- timbering. The west wall features a pair of original, wood casement windows with six lites each. The south side of the wing features a pair of original, wood casement windows in the second story and a door in the first story. The north side of the wing features a shed roof over a first story storage area; this roof is clad in the same metal imitation shingle as the rest of the house.

  • Mary Murillo
    Mary Murillo Also Known As: Mary O’Connor, Mary Velle Lived: January 22, 1888 - February 4, 1944 Worked as: adapter, film company managing director, scenario writer, screenwriter, theatre actress Worked In: France, United Kingdom: England, United States by Christina Petersen In March 1918, Moving Picture World heralded British screenwriter Mary Murillo as a “remarkable example” of “the meteoric flights to fame and fortune which have marked the careers of many present day leaders in the motion picture profession” (1525). This was more than just promotional hyperbole, since, in just four years, Murillo had penned over thirty features, including a highly successful adaptation of East Lynne (1916) starring Theda Bara and the original story for Cheating the Public (1918), “which proved a sensation” at its New York debut according to Moving Picture World (1525). Murillo wrote or adapted over fifty films from 1913 to 1934 in the United States, England, and France, including slapstick comedies, melodramas, fairy tale adaptations, and vehicles for female stars such as Bara, Ethel Barrymore, Clara Kimball Young, Olga Petrova, and Norma Talmadge. As a scenarist, her range included several films focused on contemporary issues—gender equality, women’s suffrage, economic progressivism, and labor reform—while others, such as the child-oriented adaptation of Jack and the Beanstalk (1917), seem to have been meant to appeal as pure escapism. In the latter half of her career, Murillo left the United States for England where she joined several ventures, but never equaled her American output. Born in January 1888 and educated at the Sacred Heart Convent in Roehampton, England, Murillo immigrated to the United States in 1908 at the age of nineteen (“Mary Murillo, Script Writer” 1525; McKernan 2015, 80).

  • The History of Film
    NO. 45 -ii u rm j A . FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Museum of Modern Art 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart THE HISTORY OF FILM The fourth in The Museum of Modern Art's cycles presenting "The History of Film" will begin on Sunday June 6 at 5:00 with a series of short films by Edison, Lumiere, Melies, and others representing the birth of the cinema. The three year cycle, presented ewery Sunday evening at 5:00 through April 29, 1979, will trace the evolution of film from these early works through such masters as Griffith, Chaplin, von Stroheim, and King Vidor and concluding with the recent works "Death in Venice" by Luchino Visconti and Robert Altman's "McCabe and Mrs. Miller." This major series, consisting of 148 weekly programs, was organized by Jon Gartenberg, Curatorial Assistant in the Department of Film and is designed to show that film history is "a network of interrelationships and influences between one work and another over the past eighty years." Thus, though a great many classic films are not included, many lesser-known but historically important films will be shown and such phenomena as the beginnings of the motion picture, early experiments with sound, and the development of such genres as Westerns, the historical drama, and movie serials will be examined. While examples of foreign films, shorts, avant- garde, and animated films are included, the primary emphasis of the cycle is to show the development of the American feature film from its roots through 1971.

  • "So Oft to the Movies They've Been": British Fan Writing and Female
    "So oft to the movies they've been": British fan writing and female audiences in the silent cinema Lisa Rose Stead University of Exeter, Exeter, Devon, United Kingdom [0.1] Abstract—This article aims to address the ways in which working-class and lower-middle-class British women used silent-era fan magazines as a space for articulating their role within the development of a female film culture. The article focuses on letter pages that formed a key site for female contribution to British fan magazines across the silent era. In contributing to these pages, women found a space to debate and discuss the appeal and significance of particular female representations within film culture. Using detailed archival research tracing the content of a specific magazine, Picturegoer, across a 15-year period (1913–28), the article will show the dominance of particular types of female representation in both fan and "official" magazine discourses, analyzing the ways in which British women used these images to work through national tensions regarding modern femininity and traditional ideas of female propriety and restraint.
