Preservation Advocacy in a Down Economy Volume 33 j a n F e b 2 0 1 1 number 1 Spring Tour Features Hughes Aviation HQ by Derek Marks As an aviator, inventor, and movie producer, Howard Hughes left an indelible mark on Los Angeles. Explore a key element of his legacy on Sunday, March 20, when we visit the former headquarters of Hughes Aircraft. On this site, one of America’s most eccentric and influential personalities turned a playboy’s interest in flight into a company that helped define twentieth-century aviation. The site in what is now Playa Vista was one of the epicenters of Los Angeles’ aviation history, and it’s now on the cusp of a new life as an entertainment production campus. It was here that Hughes and his team designed Despite the recession, the Conservancy is busier than ever as developers seek more project approvals.

  • Buster Keaton Film Locations: a Silent Echoes Tour of Los Angeles
    BUSTER KEATON FILM LOCATIONS: A SILENT ECHOES TOUR OF LOS ANGELES Copyright 2005 John Bengtson. All rights reserved. The following self-guided tour directions have been provided as a special bonus to John Bengtson’s “Touring Los Angeles Through the Films of Buster Keaton” presentation at the UCLA Film and Television Archive. (You can also download this document from the Archive’s website at www.cinema.ucla.edu.) New locations have been added here to the ones discussed in Bengtson’s acclaimed book, Silent Echoes: Discovering Early Hollywood Through the Films of Buster Keaton (www.SilentEchoes.net, Santa Monica Press: 800-784-9553). Happy navigating your way around town! Hollywood Tour The Hollywood tour begins, symbolically, at the corner of Hollywood and Vine (1). Here Keaton jumped onto a fire truck in The Cameraman. Proceed west down Hollywood Boulevard past Highland, to Mann’s (formerly Grauman’s) Chinese Theater. There, across the street between Highland and Orange, at 6904 Hollywood Blvd., is the former Mary Moll Building (2), which appeared briefly during the film-editing sequence from Sherlock Jr. Turn back east down Hollywood Blvd., and turn right (south) onto Cahuenga, stopping near the corner. The alley on the east side of Cahuenga (3) is the alley from Cops where Keaton grabs a passing car one- handed. Proceed south down Cahuenga a few yards until you reach the parking lot at 1622 Cahuenga (4), the lot where Brown Eyes was kept safe in Go West. This parking lot also appears in The Cameraman. Across the street from the parking lot (5) is the site of the former fire station that appears in Three Ages and The Cameraman.

First, the majority of the themes and property types significant in military history in Los Angeles are covered under other contexts and themes of the citywide historic context statement as indicated in the “Introduction” below. Second, many of the city’s military resources are already designated City Historic-Cultural Monuments and/or are listed in the National Register.1 Finally, with the exception of air raid sirens, a small number of military-related resources were identified as part of SurveyLA and, as such, did not merit development of full narrative themes and eligibility standards.

    4 Raiding the archive: film festivals and the revival of Classic Hollywood Julian Stringer History becomes heritage in various ways. Artifacts become appropriated by particular historical agendas, by particular ideologies of preservation, by specific versions of public history, and by particular values about exhibition, design, and display. (Arjun Appadurai and Carol A. Breckenridge)1 Film Studies has to date paid too little attention to the role cultural institutions play in the transformation of cinema history into heritage. At the dawn of cinema’s second century, a range of organisational bodies – including museums and art galleries, the publicity and promotion industries, film journalism and publishing, as well as the academy – work to activate and commodify memory narratives concerning the movies’ own glorious and fondly recalled past. Such bodies serve different kinds of agendas, broadly identifiable as the commercial, the cultural and the educational (or a combination thereof). However, all help determine the specific shape of current thinking regarding cinema’s past, present and future. At a time when more films than ever before are being exhibited on a greater number of different kinds of screens than ever before, the cumulative effect of all this institutional activity is to create consen- sus around which films should be remembered and which forgotten. With so many ‘old’ and contemporary titles jockeying for position at the multiplex and the art cinema, on television and cable, video, DVD and the Internet, as well as in the classroom, the relatively small number of titles eventually sold, projected, written about, taught or revived, will be largely confined to those legitimised for one reason or another by these different kinds of organisational bodies.
