Mary Glen's planned transcontinental train trip

Historical Tourism Los Angeles
I'm grateful to college friend Miriam Cantor and family for introducing me to Los Angeles, particularly to 19th century Los Angeles. My first visit included a trip to the Huntington Library, Art Collection and Botanical Garden http://www.huntington.org/   Founded in 1910 it's a little late for EJ Phillips but Pasadena was charming and older than I'd expected. On other trips we've gone to the original Los Angeles Farmer's Market http://www.farmersmarketla.com/index.shtml On almost every trip we've gone to the Hollywood Farmers' Market for tamales http://www.hollywoodfarmersmarket.net/

The Hotel Nadeau, said to be the first four story building in Los Angeles, is now the site of the Los Angeles Times building, southwest corner of Spring St. and First St. In the old Spanish days, this site was a flat stretch of ground which Angelenos would make use of on the occasion of a community fandango http://www.csulb.edu/~odinthor/socal3.html   Brent C. Dickerson, A Visit to Old Los Angeles, Spring Street Part 1

But the most relevant existing site is connected with San Francisco is the Los Angeles Arboretum & Botanic Garden, 301 North Baldwin Avenue, Arcadia CA is about 17 miles east of Los Angeles and across from the Santa Anita Race Track . http://www.arboretum.org/index.php/ was the home of EJ "Lucky" Baldwin, owner of the Baldwin Hotel and Theatre in San Francisco . See EJ Phillips' descriptions of driving a horse with Mrs. Baldwin in 1890.

Nadeau Hotel

My dear Son

Yesterday morning when we left San Francisco the weather was delightfully cool and our journey was pleasant up to 3 PM when we got into hot weather and dust, and we have had it hot ever since. The journey was very uninteresting - a repetition of the Prairie from Omaha to California. We passed through as great deal of the Alkali [desert] too, this morning.

The town looks quite lively, being dressed in flags and arches. The Odd Fellows are having a picnic here this week. I believe they are coming from all parts of the U.S. Do not know whether it is a convention or a conclave, but I have as above called it a picnic. This seems to be quite a thriving City. Has horse cars, cable cars, and all the modern improvements in lighting. But it is a long journey to get here. Hotel very good. Have not yet seen the theatre. I do anticipate having rehearsals this week, so will be able to tell you more about the place in my next letter. No more at present, but love and Kisses from your loving Mother

The Hotel Nadeau had opened in 1886 built by French Canadian Remi Nadeau, It was torn down in 1932 http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thedailymirror/2008/07/spring-street-5.html

My dear Son.

On the 7th Hattie went to see the folks and had to stay all night as a storm came up, but she got home on Saturday morning the 8th. She took John upstairs and put him in bed with his Aunts. After they had romped with him awhile she heard Nellie exclaim, "Oh how I wish your Uncle Albert could see you. He would think you so sweet". And Hattie continues, "I wish he could see him before I put him in short dresses".

Think I like Los Angeles better than any of the other places of California that I have visited. No fog and no high winds. The days are warm, but the nights are lovely and cool. Your friend Barker lives at Santa Barbara, doesn't he? That is on another road. We did not pass it. It is more towards the Seashore.

The theatre here is very pretty, as far as the Auditorium goes, but the dressing rooms are very uncomfortable. Direct your letters to Theatre. A.M. Palmer, Co. At Denver, "Tabor Opera House". Love and Kisses from your loving Mother

Los Angeles Times Sept 9 1888 The advent of A. M. Palmer's Company from the Baldwin Theater, San Francisco, at the Opera-house, beginning Monday, September 17th, is an event of no little importance to the theatrical world of Los Angeles, as it is certainly a representative ... Sept 16 A. M. PALMER'S COMPANY.--Tomorrow evening Mr. A. M. Palmer's Company, from the Madison Square Theater, New York, will begin an engagement of six nights and Saturday matinee at the Grand Opera house, presenting for the first time in this city

AMUSEMENTS. A. M. Palmer's Company—-An Important Dramatic Event. The advent of A. M. Palmer's Company from the Madison Square Theater, New York, to their week's engagement at the Opera House, is an event of decided importance to the theatrical world of Los Angeles. A line on the bills announces the organization as "The Representative Dramatic Company of America." This is a bold claim but it is one which the career and reputation of the gentleman whose name designates the organization warrants in many respects. When A. M. Palmer assumed the helm at the Union Square Theater, fortune sailed along with the ship. Those were memorable days— the days of Led Astray, of The Celebrated Case, of The Two Orphans, of The Bankers Daughter, of The Lights o' London, etc. The company was universally recognized as one of vast capabilities. The range and character of the plays there produced were wide and diversified; the management was prosperous and the coffers full. Mr. Palmer withdrew from the theatre and from active management. Disintegration set in rapidly, successes were few, and gradually the company and its glories became memories only. But Mr. Palmer could not remain inactive. He secured control of the Madison Square Theatre, and the characteristics of the old organization were transferred to the new; or rather, the organization continued the same, merely changing its home, ,for all the more important members of the old company were at once gathered under Mr. Palmer's standard. Successes were again frequent, and The Private Secretary, Saints and Sinners, Our Society, Sealed Instructions, Jim, the Penman, Elaine, Heart of Hearts, and Partners, were added to the list of triumphs. The repertoire which Mr. Palmer announces for the engagement commencing Monday evening is a solid and enduring array. The opening play is Jim, the Penman, the latest success of the company, a play of strong emotion, human interest and pronounced character, which will be followed by Saints and Sinners, Heart of Hearts and Partners. The following is a list of Mr. Palmer's company: J. H. Stoddard, A. Salvini, Frederick Robinson. Louis Massen, E. M. Holland, Walden Ramsey, C. P. Flockton, Herbert Millward, Harry Holliday, Mrs. E. J. Phillips, Marie Burroughs, Annie Russell, May Brookyn, Virginia Buchanan. Clara Lipman, Kate Maloney, Annie Homan, Little Gertie Homan, J. B. Hollis, George S. Stevens and G. W. Presbrey. Every member of the company is known, and the individuals, as well as the organization, number hosts of friends here. Alexander Salvini—or, as he is generally called, young Salvini —is the latest addition to the organization. Stoddart, Robinson, Flockton and Mrs. Phillips make up a quartette of names that awaken memories of the past successes and anticipation of future triumphs. They are artists legitimate and thorough and skilled in their craft. Marie Burroughs will be welcomed as one of us. Her career has been brilliant and her advancement rapid. She holds an envied position at present, but one entirely deserved. Annie Russell will not be forgotten, nor is it possible that anyone could forget her, as her charming manners are distinctly sui generis. Louis Massen's earnest and forcible acting, E. M. Holland's clever character delineation, and Walden Ramsey's bright and graceful impersonations will be remembered. May Brookyn will be remembered as a handsome woman and a strong actress. Virginia Buchanan and Herbert Millward, Henry Holliday, Clara Lipman, Kate Maloney (who was last here with Lawrence Barrett), Annie Homan, clever little Gertie Homan and the efficient stage manager, G, Wiley Presbrey, fill out to completion Mr. Palmer's admirable and capable organization. The advance sale is very large, and everything indicates large and fashionable audiences during the entire engagement.

Los Angeles, Ca August 12th 1890

My dear daughter Neppie.

I hope by the time this reaches you that you will have Hattie with you and will be enjoying each others' society as I would like to do.

[Hattie] wrote that John [Dolman] had received my photographs which I sent to the office in Phila - by his receiving those I hope Albert has his also. And that you both enjoyed looking at the shadow of your Mother. Do you think she has grown stouter?

"Nickel in the slot" machines gave three weights for her in about ten days - 165 lbs - 171 lbs and 172 1/2 lbs. I think the first is nearest to the proper weight. However as everybody tells me I am looking well, I suppose I may have gained something in weight while in San F'co but I think I shall lose some of it travelling back to Denver

The dressing rooms at theatre were very hot last night, but that was due to the gas and want of proper ventilation. Our house was crowded and everything passed off nicely.

We leave here again on Sunday Morning, at last turning our faces homewards. Travel Thursday night to Salt Lake for two nights. Thence to Denver for two weeks.

After reaching Denver the hardest part of our travelling will be over. Shall receive letters in a shorter time and begin to think I am within walking distance of home. Mr. [EM] Holland who was so very ill is better, and is again playing his parts. We were very much afraid we were going to lose him. [He died in 1913 aged 85.]

I hope you have your sewing pretty well accomplished for October, and that your dear Mama is not worrying very much over the event. I trust her trip did her a great deal of good. It would at least convince her that there are many less desirable places to live than Middletown, N.Y.

I shall long to hear of Hattie's safe arrival in M[iddle]'town. It is quite a long trip to take with no one to help her with Jack, but I hope a cool wave to take her there, and am sure she will have a good time when she gets there.

I sincerely hope Jack will be a good boy and not give much trouble. Hattie write that they are dreadfully sunburnt, that her hands look like a mulattos. Love and Kisses to my dear children, Albert and Neppie - wishing them good health and much happiness I remain their loving Mother

Ask Hattie for any information she will gladly give you all she knows. [Neppie was pregnant with Edward Phillips Nickinson.]

Los Angeles Herald 1890 Aug 1 AMUSEMENTS The Palmer Company the Next Attraction. The Palmer company will open a week's engagement at the Grand opera house on the 11th inst. The repertoire includes Captain Swift,. Aunt .Jack, Saints and Sinners and Jim the Penman. The personnel of the company has been materially changed since the last visit here, but it has not been weakened. Miss Ada Dyas, Maud Harrison and Maurice Barrymore are among the notable new members—new to Los Angeles, but well known as thorough artists.

Aug 2 AMUSEMENTS. The Coming Engagement of the A. M. Palmer Company. For many years the most important dramatic engagement in this city has been that of A. M. Palmer's company, from the Madison-square theater, New York. From the date of its first appearance here it has kept up a record of unfailing success. Mr. Palmer is credited with having produced more notable successes than any other manager of a stock company in America, and his company has always been kept up to its high standard. The transcontinental tours of this organization, which are entirely under the direction of Mr. Al Hayman, have become features in its history. This year the company is unusually strong, and the repertoire diversified enough to suit all tastes, To see such plays as Captain Swift, Jim the Penman, A Man of the World, Aunt Jack, Saints and Sinners interpreted by the representative organization of America is an opportunity that should not be missed. 11 August 13 August 14 August

A party of the Palmer company were at the Redondo Hotel yesterday partaking of the hospitality of Col. E. V. Root. Among them were: Henry C. Jarrett, J. H. Stoddard, Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Holland, Fred. H. Tyler, Mamie Chaddock, Henry Woodruff, Edward Bell, Miss Maud" Harrison, Mrs. E. J. Phillips.

Septr 7th 1896

My dear dear Son,

Your letter with Birthday wishes to me rec'd this Morning. I thank you and assure you it gave me great pleasure to receive your prayers for my welfare and safety on this, my 66th anniversary. I am indeed grateful that I have been spared thus long to receive the love and Kisses sent to me by my dear children, and received today, even if it is from 3000 miles away.

I think I told you in my letter yesterday that I had a cold, and this Morning I began sneezing again, so found a doctor and am taking medicine every hour. I do not feel at all sick, but a little sore in my left breast when I cough or sneeze, so thought I had better see a doctor, as an ounce of prevention would be better than a pound of cure.

Our ride to Sacramento will be a hot and long one. I thought a little physical preparation would be wise. We shall be in Portland, Ore 14th, 15th and 16th. The ride to Salt Lake City from Seattle will be a long hot one, two nights on the road. Also from Salt Lake to Kansas will be hard, but it will be getting cooler by that time. I hope [grandson Ted Nickinson] is by this time better. His Grandma Nickens loves him and I am his Grandma.

Los Angeles Times Sept 6 1896 AT THE THEATERS Wives that are neglected by their husbands and left at home to sit and I mope through the long evenings while their husbands are "detained by business" or "go to lodge meetings." or "sit up with a sick friend," and that are advised by people to "go and do likewise," should learn about the experiences of Mrs. Paillard, who, believing herself to be a neglected wife, went out with a neighbor. Mr. Pinglet, on one occasion "to make a night of it." so to speak. Mrs. Paillard was young and charming. Mr. Pinglet was middle-aged. married and hen-pecked. Mr. Paillard had business that took him away from home many nights. Mrs. Paillard stood this as long as she could and then got sick of it. She went to Mr. Pinglet, who was in the next flat .and who was also her husband's friend, and told him how she felt. It was "Terrible! Terrible! Terrible!" she said, and Mr. Pinglet thought so too. What could she do? Why, make the best of it—do as her husband did, said Mr. Pinglet. Find a friend whom ' she could trust, and go out and have a ' good time with him. But where was that friend to be found? Where else but In Mr. Pinglet, said Mr. Pinglet. The young and charming wife jumped at the suggestion. Mr. Pinglet gurgled with glee and jigged around with joy. They would go to the theater and then to a quiet little restaurant for a nice little supper. They would have a jolly good time, all unknown to Mr. Paillard and Mrs. Pinglet. Well, they went. And, Oh, what a time they had! What delightful, cyclonic night! And Mr. Paillard was mixed up in it, too, and Mrs. Pinglet heard about it. Such a time! Oh, the merry and multitudinous memory of it! Once was enough for both of them. It would take columns to tell all that befell them. The whole story Is presented in the most successful farce comedy ever produced in New York, The Gay Parisians, which has just celebrated its two hundredth performance at Hoyt's- theater, New York, and which will be presented at the Los Angeles theater tomorrow night, with the original cast and scenery. It Is a French farce of the liveliest kind, and everybody knows that a good French farce is a perfect whirlwind of fun. This one is a regular maelstrom of merriment. W. J. Ferguson, the noted character actor, is the Mr. Pinglet, and makes this mossy old would-be roué a delightful creation. Charles Frohman, under whose direction the farce is presented, has put a thoroughly clever cast into it, and the performance Is as perfect as the scenes are meaty and comical.

Streetcars
The first streetcar system in L.A. dates back to 1874, when Judge Robert M. Widney convinced his neighbors in the vicinity of Third and Hill Streets (then considered the sticks) that they needed a convenient way to get to the business section of the city. A single-track railroad stretched for 2 1/2 miles from the Mission Plaza down Main and Spring Streets to Sixth Street. Subsequent horse-drawn streetcar systems were developed in other growing communities like Pasadena, Ontario, Santa Monica, and San Bernardino. A portion of the L.A. system along Pico Street was electrified in 1887, and expanded in 1890.

Railroads in Los Angeles
No other single California company ever held the power and influence that the Southern Pacific did. For more than three decades, its slightest decision about where to lay tracks and where not to created some cities and destroyed others. In 1880, in an area halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco called Mussel Slough, a dispute over land rights between settlers and the Southern Pacific erupted into violence, leaving seven men dead. The brief bullet-punctuated episode became a turning point, as public outrage swelled against the powerful railroad. Over the next several decades, the SP operated out of three grand train stations, beginning with the Los Angeles Junction, which boasted a hotel and dining room in an area known as "the Cornfield," bound by Spring Street and North Broadway. In 1888, the SP moved to the Arcade Station at 5th and Central streets, which was rebuilt on an adjoining site three decades later and called Central Station... Two more railroads would battle the SP for a foothold in the West, and each had its own station. In 1891, the Los Angeles Terminal Railway Station -- whose title spawned the name for Terminal Island -- opened on East 1st Street, just east of the Los Angeles River. After changing its name to the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake, it eventually was swallowed up by Union Pacific. ... In 1885, the SP paid the Santa Fe, which had reached San Diego, $500,000 a year to make San Bernardino its terminus instead of Los Angeles, to keep competition away. Their pact lasted only two years, when the Santa Fe acquired a route, becoming the third railroad line into the city and triggering a half-century-long conflict.

A glance at New High Street
New High Street was not sufficiently glamorous to engage the attention of postcard photographers on its own merits! We obtain some rare glimpses via enlargements of pieces of other postcard views and photographs. In this view, the County Courthouse on what's left of Pound Cake Hill dominates the center of the picture; the unseen street below the slope we see immediately to the right of the courthouse building would be New High Street, running parallel to the old "diagonal" block of Spring Street, which is the street seen stretching into the picture above the word "Nadeau" on the wall-sign in the foreground (we are looking down on the "alley side" of the Hotel Nadeau at Spring and First). At the left edge of the view, we see the tower of the High School, the previous incarnation of which was on the location of the Courthouse. http://www.csulb.edu/~odinthor/socal5.html Brent C. Dickerson, A Visit to Old Los Angeles, New High Street

When struggling prospector Edward L. Doheny and his mining partner Charles A. Canfield decided to dig a well in 1892, they wisely chose a site with “tar seeps” – where natural asphalt bubbled to the surface. ,,, On April 20, 1892, they struck oil near present-day Dodger Stadium – and revealed the Los Angeles City oil field, which still produces tar seeps, notably at the La Brea “tar pits.” Actually comprised of asphalt, the animal-trapping pools were discovered in 1769 by a Spanish explorer, remain among the many onshore and offshore natural seeps of southern California.
