Caption says Don The Beachcomber 1937 This one was in the section on "Imagery and it's uses: The House"... Caption reads Maharaja of Indare house, Santa Anita 1939 Hard to see small matchstick size bamboo matting on walls, rattan couches, rattan fireplace surround with panther and leaf carvings above mantle....where is this stuff now?.....Need to get a scanner.....

I would love to have a copy of it. It was kind of unspectacular, but.... to think that I lived just up the Street from it when I moved to LA in the early 80s (by the Hollywood Bowl) and must have driven by it on a daily basis (on Highland Ave.) without ever going in still pains me to this day. Arrrgh!
