Back in 1928, there was some controversy over this 1846 date for this panel in the City Hall bronze doors, carved by sculptor Henry Lion. Acc'g to @sgeetv (https://t.co/XYCmfHGhuG), some felt the US occupation date should be 1847, which was when the #TreatyofCahuenga was signed.

"As the motion picture industry came of age, female movie stars were recruited to exploit their cross-marketing potential. Paramount Pictures promoted Anita King's movie career in 1915 by arranging for the actress to drive a new Kisselkar from LA->NY." https://t.co/CVpyqL6BQP

“Although there was no guarantee the project would ever be funded, #JohnParkinson made the @LAColiseum’s design a top priority for his already-busy architectural practice. He viewed the ambitious undertaking as his civic responsibility," @sgeetv.
