It was one of the first successful color materials and was used for both cinematography and still photography. Because of its complex processing requirements, the film was sold process-paid in the United States until 1954 when a legal ruling prohibited this. Elsewhere, this arrangement continued. Kodachrome was the subject of a Paul Simon song and a US state park was named after it. For many years it was used for professional color photography, especially for images intended for publication in print media. Because of the uptake of alternative photographic materials, its complex processing requirements, and the widespread transition to digital photography, Kodachrome lost its market share, its manufacturing was discontinued in 2009 and its processing ended in 2010.

Baby Boomers Tribute Get Together 1910-2010 San Fernando Valley So Cal A Blast from the Past 2013-07-24 | Baby Boomers Tribute "Get Together" 1910-2010 San Fernando Valley So CalThe San Fernando Valley is considered the child city of metropolitan Los Angeles; a child that gradually grew and matured. From the development of farming and agriculture to the subdividing of land and finally to the market boom in commercialization and industrialization, the Valley has taken on its own course in history thus invented its own acclamation. In fact, Charles A. Bearchell noted, "If the Valley were a separately incorporated city, it would rank among the top six cities in the nation." To understand the maturation of the Valley, one must note the population growth, specifically between the years 1910 to 1960, when the largest population increases were recorded in Valley history. Indeed, the population of the San Fernando Valley increasingly doubled or even tripled every decade from 1910 to 1960. This population growth is not the net result of a single factor. Three elements - access, development, and advertisement - between the years 1910 to 1960 created the perfect foundation for population growth in the San Fernando Valley.In 1910, the San Fernando Valley population was at 3,300. A decade later the population grew to over 21,000. In 1930 the population figures were exact with meticulous census data. The April 1st 1930 census was 78,497. Subsequently between 1930 and 1945 a population increase of 159% was recorded bringing the population total at the end of World War II to 228,734 inhabitants. By 1950, the swift increase in growth continued when the April 1st census recorded over 402,538 residents; likewise in growth when the April 1st census of 1960 doubled again with a staggering populace of 840,531 inhabiting the San Fernando Valley. It was only until the early 1970s which the population did not double nor triple itself, but only grew by about 100,000. This slower growth may be correlated to the 6.6 magnitude 1971 Sylmar earthquake, among others, as Kevin Roderick of the Los Angeles Times noted in his text, America's Suburb, "The San Fernando Valley serves, in fact, as the nation's favorite symbol of suburbia run rampant. It is the butt of jokes for its profligate sprawl, kooky architecture, unhip telephone area code, and home grown porno industry, as well as for a mythical tribe of nasal-toned, IQ challenged teenage girls who like to shop." However, the ill portrayed description of the recent San Fernando Valley by Kevin Roderick was not valid prior to the 1970s; hence the decades between 1910 leading up to the 1960s was an extremely pivotal period with respect to the vast population growth heightening the foundation of the Valley. Conclusively, the three key elements - access, development, and advertising - contributed simultaneously with each other (at one point or another) triggering an influx in population growth for the Valley.The first fundamental theme in the immense growth of the San Fernando Valley is the means of access throughout the land. Access is both the physical means of entering and exiting the area via roads, highways and railways, and the accessibility of resources (water) to its inhabitants. To understand how highways, railways, and water escalated access throughout the land from the turn of the century up to the 1960s, one must examine the physical aspects of the land. Access to the San Fernando Valley is grouped into three noteworthy pass areas. The San Fernando Pass (also known as the Newhall Pass) at the northern tip of the Valley on the east side, the Santa Susana Pass at the northeastern portion of the Valley, and the strategically accessible southern artery to Los Angeles, the famous Cahuenga Pass.To donate to my channel ... click here paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=GLP94VKD55AW4THANK YOU ...to those that have already supported my channel! : )
Baby Boomers Tribute Jungleland USA 1929-69 Thousand Oaks So Cal A Blast from the Past 2013-07-22 | Baby Boomers Tribute "Jungleland USA" 1929-69 Thousand Oaks So CalJungleland USA was a private zoo, animal training facility, and animal theme park in Thousand Oaks, California, United States, on the current site of the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza. At its peak the facility encompassed 170 acres (69 ha).Louis Goebel created Jungleland in 1926 as a support facility for Hollywood. He had been employed at Universal Studios when the studio decided to close its animal facility. Five of the Universal Studio lions formed the nucleus of Goebel's collection. The facility was originally called "Goebel's Lion Farm." Soon a wide variety of exotic animals were obtained, trained, and rented to the studios for use in films. The facility later became a theme park, opened to the public in 1929. Wild animal shows entertained thousands in the 1940s and 1950s. Mabel Stark, the "lady lion tamer", was featured in these shows; she also doubled for Mae West in the lion-taming scenes in the 1933 film I'm No Angel. The zoo's residents included Leo the Lion, mascot of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio Mister Ed, the talking horse from the television show of the same name; Bimbo the elephant from the Circus Boy television series; and Tamba the chimpanzee, featured in the Jungle Jim movies and television series.Many TV and movie productions used the park's trained animals, and many productions were filmed there, including Birth of a Nation, Tarzan, Doctor Dolittle, and The Adventures of Robin Hood. It was also featured prominently in an episode of the television show Route 66 (Season 2, Episode 30, "A Feat of Strength") which aired May 18, 1962.The park made headlines in 1966 when a male lion at the compound mauled the young son of actress Jayne Mansfield. A barn fire in 1940 killed 12 of the animals including tigers, camels and elephants.Jungleland closed in October 1969, because of competition from other Southern California amusement parks, and because the facility "didn't blend in" with the increasingly urban character of Thousand Oaks. The company which owned the facilities declared bankruptcy and sold all the movable property at auction: animals, buildings, trucks, furniture and supplies. Goebel retained ownership of the land, which was eventually sold to the city to create the Civic Arts Plaza and other developments.

It opened on Saturday, July 28, 1958 with an attendance of 20,000. The next day, the park drew 37,262 which outperformed Disneyland's attendance figure that day. Admission was ninety cents for adults which included access to the park and certain exhibits. The term "POP" was also used as a clever acronym for "Pay One Price", though other rides and attractions were on a pay-as-you-go basis.Like Disneyland, Pacific Ocean Park found corporate sponsors to share the expense of some exhibits. Six of the pier's original attractions were incorporated into the new park: The Sea Serpent roller coaster, the antique Looff carousel, the Toonerville Fun House, the Glass House, twin diving bells and more.To donate to my channel ... click here paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=GLP94VKD55AW4THANK YOU ...to those that have already supported my channel! : )

Baby Boomers Tribute RKO Encino Ranch 1929-54 So Cal San Fernando Valley A Blast from the Past 2013-04-13 | Baby Boomers Tribute "RKO Encino Ranch" 1929-54 So Cal San Fernando ValleyRKO 'Encino Ranch'The RKO Pictures Encino Ranch consisted of 89 acres located on the outskirts of the City of Encino, California, in the San Fernando Valley, near Los Angeles River and west of Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area on Burbank Boulevard. RKO Radio Pictures purchased this property as a location to film their epic motion picture Cimarron (1931), (winner of four Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Writing, Best Art Direction, and Best Make-Up). Art Director Max Ree won an Oscar for his creative design of the very first theme sets constructed on the movie ranch which consisted of a complete western town and a three block modern main street built as the Oklahoma (fictional) town of Osage.In addition to Cimarron scenery, RKO continued to create a vast array of diverse sets for their ever expanding movie ranch that included a New York avenue, brownstone street, English row houses, slum district, small town square, residential neighborhood, three working train depots, mansion estate, New England farm, western ranch, a mammoth medieval City of Paris, European marketplace, Russian village, Yukon mining camp, ocean tank with sky backdrop, Moorish casbah, Mexican outpost, Sahara Desert fort, plaster mountain range diorama, and a football field sized United States map on which Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers danced across in The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle (1939) Also available were scene docks, carpentry shop, prop storage, greenhouse, and three fully equipped soundstages with an average of over 11,000 square feet each.A short list of classic movies that contain scenes shot on the RKO Pictures Encino Ranch would include What Price Hollywood? (1932), King Kong (1933), Of Human Bondage (1934), Becky Sharp (1935), "Walking on Air" (1936), Stage Door (1937), "Kitty Foyle" (1940), Citizen Kane (1941), Cat People (1942), Murder, My Sweet (1944), Dick Tracy film noir series (1945-1947), They Live by Night (1948), and many more.In 1953 Dragnet was the last project to film on the ranch for an NBC 1954 broadcast of an episode entitled "The Big Producer" in which the crumbling lot played the part of a fictitious "Westside Studio". Standing sets exhibited on this particular Dragnet program were a cocktail lounge on modern street, a ranch entry gate with a church and house facades ('George Bailey' wrecked his car there during a snow storm in It's a Wonderful Life" 1946), plaster desert mountain range, ocean tank & sky backdrop used for Sinbad the Sailor (1947), Notre Dame de Paris Carre built for "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (1939), and (the very first sets ever built on the ranch) the award winning western town from Cimarron (1931).After all those unique themed sets were bulldozed under in 1954, the 'Encino Village' subdivision was built on the property with modern home designs by architect Martin Stern, Jr.To donate to my channel ... click here paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=GLP94VKD55AW4THANK YOU ...to those that have already supported my channel! : )
Baby Boomers Tribute Busch Gardens & Bird Sanctuary Van Nuys San Fernando Valley So Cal A Blast from the Past 2013-03-26 | Baby Boomers Tribute "Busch Gardens & Bird Sanctuary" Van Nuys San Fernando ValleyBusch Gardens was a "$4-million theme park and tropical oasis, [added] to the Van Nuys brewery. The 17-acre spread included a monorail that snaked around the facility and passed windows that gave passengers a look at the brewing process" (LA Times). Busch transformed a 17-acre cabbage patch adjacent to the Van Nuys brewery into a tropical beer garden and bird sanctuary. Amongst the many activities provided for visitors were boat rides across a lagoon, a monorail, a log-flume ride, and a suspended trolley tour through the brewery; but perhaps the most popular attraction was the free beer. Once the park admission was paid, anyone of drinking age was allowed "two 10-ounce glasses of beer at each of the five pavilions." By the mid-seventies attendance began to slow down and August Busch III decided to close the park in December of 1976, which according to him, "had never been profitable."

Baby Boomers Tribute Moonlight Serenade The Hollywood Bowl 2011 A Blast from the Past 2011-10-20 | Baby Boomers Tribute "Moonlight Serenade" The Hollywood Bowl 2011 Glen Miller.The Iconic Hollywood Bowl thru the years.Hollywood was a small town of only about 5,000 people in 1910. By 1920 the growth of the movie industry had turned the community into a boom town, with a population close to 50,000 and an identity all its own. Theatregoers, music and art lovers, nature buffs, politicians, real estate developers and civic boosters all agreed that an open-air theatre would be a great asset to the community.ShareHistory of the Hollywood Bowl ShellThe Hoillywood Bowl, 1923The Hoillywood Bowl, 1923The Hollywood Bowl is the largest natural amphitheater in the United States. Seating nearly 18,000 patrons, the venue has had four shells since its beginnings in 1922; the new shell becomes the venue's fifth.In 1922, the Bowl's first stage was constructed and consisted of a simple wooden platform with a canvas top. Patrons sat on moveable benches. In 1926, a cooperative society of 33 local Los Angeles architects, known as Allied Architects, built the Bowl's first arched proscenium. The curved wooden frame consisted of two different shapes: a low elliptical arch in the background with a circular arch inside, framing the musicians. The acoustic problems found in the design caused the shell to be torn down at the end of the season. The well-known Pasadena architect Myron Hunt created a blueprint for the amphitheater based on concepts from his earlier design for the Rose Bowl athletic stadium. Hunt's balloon-shaped seating area rose up from the stage, outlined by graceful curving stairways all around. Construction was completed in 1926.Lloyd Wright, the eldest son of Frank Lloyd Wright, designed two shells for the Hollywood Bowl. He was commissioned to design a shell for the 1927 symphony season after having designed several sets for theatrical productions at the Hollywood Bowl. He used wood from the dismantled Robin Hood set and built a pyramid-shaped structure intended to both enhance the Bowl's acoustics and complement the rustic setting. The initial Lloyd Wright design was intended only as a temporary structure and was used for one season.In 1928, Lloyd Wright's second commission included the specific instruction that he was to design a circular music shell. Again, the architect tackled the dual issues of acoustics and aesthetics. The 1928 shell consisted of nine concentric, segmental arches, which could be "tuned" panel by panel. Stylistically the shell was in the forefront of the 1920s Modern movement with its unornamented, curvilinear lines. For reasons that remain unclear, the shell was left standing through the winter of 1928 and began to deteriorate. The shell was declared unsafe and was demolished in 1929.he engineering firm of Elliott, Bowen and Walz designed the fourth shell in 1929. Allied Architects constructed the shell, which preserved the visual essence of Lloyd Wright's 1928 design, but substituted a semicircle for Wright's elliptical form. Made of transite panels covering a steel frame, the massive, 55-ton shell was designed on a track system. The shell could be moved off the stage area to allow for theatrical staging to be built for a specific performance. From the beginning, the curved shape of the shell caused serious acoustic problems, including focused sound randomly returning to the stage. The acoustical problems instigated an ongoing commitment by Bowl directors to achieve the best possible sound inside the amphitheater.Numerous attempts to improve the 1929 shell's acoustics were undertaken over the years. In 1970, architect Frank Gehry and acoustician Christopher Jaffe devised an inexpensive, temporary solution by creating "sonotubes," manufactured cardboard forms that looked like concrete columns. Their arrangement of tubes inside the shell and extending along the outer wings enhanced the sound but altered the look of the shell, disguising the Bowl's famous curved shape. The sonotubes remained in place until 1980.The development of the area continued to disturb the natural amphitheater's acoustics. The addition of the Hollywood freeway in 1952, the grading of hillsides, development of homes, and other factors began to surround the once tranquil grounds with ambient noise. In 1980, the sonotubes were removed and Gehry designed hollow fiberglass spheres which were hung within the Bowl shell in a carefully-calculated arrangement. While helpful, the spheres did not solve acoustical issues that continued to be problematic for the venue. In addition, the 1929 shell was unable to accommodate a full orchestra; nearly 1/3 of the musicians sat outside of the shell affecting the quality of sound produced.

Helms started construction on a building between Washington and Venice Boulevards in 1930 and, on March 2, 1931, the Helms Bakery opened with 32 employees and 11 delivery coaches (trucks).By the next year, the Helms Bakery had become the "official baker" of the 1932 Summer Olympics when Paul Helms won a contract to supply bread for the 1932 games in Los Angeles. Early Helms vehicles sported the Olympic symbol, and it also appeared on, and was mentioned in, the Helms logo on the bread wrappers.[1]Despite never being sold in stores, Helms baked products soon became known to millions of consumers. The Helms motto was "Daily at Your Door" and every weekday morning, from both the Culver City facility and a second Helms Bakery site in Montebello, dozens of Helms panel trucks, painted in a unique two-tone scheme, would leave the bakery for various parts of the Los Angeles Basin, some going as far as the eastern San Gabriel Valley. This is remarkable because the network of freeways had not yet been built, so the trip might take an hour or more. Each truck would travel through its assigned neighborhoods, with the driver periodically pulling (twice) on a large handle which sounded a distinctive whistle or stop at a house where a Helms sign was displayed. Customers would come out and wave the truck down, or sometimes chase the trucks to adjacent streets. Wooden drawers in the back of the truck were stocked with fresh donuts, cookies, pastries and candies, while the center section of the truck carried dozens of loaves of freshly baked bread. Products often reached the buyers still warm from the oven.Paul Helms died on January 5, 1957 at age 67, but the business continued to operate, run by family members. Its delivery network gradually grew to include Fresno to the north; San Bernardino to the east, and south to Orange County and San Diego. In the company's final year of operation, a clever marketing campaign netted Helms a contract to furnish "the first bread on the moon," via the Apollo 11 space mission. The San Bernardino facility was located on the northeast corner of Mt Vernon Avenue and Birch Street. After Helm Bakeries closed that location, it was taken over as a small warehouse by FEDCO Corporation, which has since gone out of business as well. The building in San Bernardino is still there, housing a mattress and home furnishings business.However popular, the Helms method of neighborhood delivery was doomed both by the expense of sending trucks hundreds of miles each week and by the advent of the supermarket, which stocked products from other (less expensive) bakeries, which delivered once or twice each week. The Helms company ceased operations in 1969.The former Helms Bakery building has been re-purposed into a warren of furniture showrooms, art galleries, restaurants and other retail outlets including the famed but now closed Jazz Bakery,[2] as well as a Helms Museum, the Gascon Theatre and the La Dijonaise restaurant.[3]Other retail stores now located at the Helms Bakery District include: Alan Desk, ADP, Ashely Furniture, Boom Design, Creative Galleries, Hastens Beds, H.D. Buttercup, Jaxon, La Bella Cosa, Plummers, Rejuvenation, The Rug Warehouse, Style de Vie, Thos. Moser Cabinetmaker, Twenty Gauge, Vitra and Wall Units.In addition to La Dijonaise restaurant, Helms Bakery District also features Beacon, an Asian cafe, a hot dog stand called Let's Be Frank[4] and Father's Office, a gastropub.[5]The facility is partly powered by solar energy.There is now a Helms Bakery Collectors Club, established as a resource for Helms fans to obtain literature, memorabilia and even Helms Coaches
