Gary wondered about the fate of the "JESUS SAVES" building. I think it's a hotel now, without the sign of course, but I haven't been in downtown L.A. for about 30 years, and have no intention of going back lest my fond old memories of the place come crashing down. What I wish I could remember is the movie that had that sign in it so prominantly. It was an old hard-boiled detective movie, I remember that. Maybe 1930s or 1940s or so. A thing that is possible for some family history researchers, but I am sure almost universally overlooked, is adding movies to one's family photo album. A photo of the Church of the Open Door (and probably Bible Institute) "JESUS SAVES" building can no doubt be had off the net by doing a "google" photo search, but such a thing would pale compared to a movie scene with James Cagney or someone like that enjoying a gun battle out in front of the place. To be sure, the sign went up in 1935, and Ida Croxall (spelling?) would have been gone by then, but just think of the wonderful, cozy aura for Ida's people today seeing her alma mater with the good old "noir" Hollywood treatment. What someone ought to do is put a "database" up on the net that lists film locations such as this. Imagine how great it would be if someone who's parents or grandparents lived on, oh, say, Aardvark Avenue in old L.A., could get a movie tour of the place courtesy of the Keystone Kops. For example, Buster Keaton shot "The General" in and around Cottage Grove, Oregon. Well, my dad lived in Cottage Grove, Oregon when that film was made. The movie is now part of my own family photo album. It's neat. Well, anyway, enough of that.
