Nov. 1 - 3, 1915

 Mon. Nov. 1, 1915

1915 Hollywood Blvd. near Highland looking west toward Formosa (the street Ethel's house is on)

Began to pack up. I put props under the orange trees all A.M. In the aft. I took the machine down and got the trailer and then Floyd and I spent the rest of the day fastening it on good. We caught the chicken in eve and put them in crates. Sold 12 or 13 duck in A.M. for $5.06.

Tues. Nov. 2, 1915

1913 view looking down on Hollywood Blvd.

Mother feeling pretty good. We loaded the auto and trailer and all 4 started for Hollywood. Had to stop several times to refasten the trailer, but got there alright. Left about 8 A.M. and got there about 11. Had lunch at a cafeteria and then unloaded. Mother stayed and we 3 back and got another larger load - trailer piled higher than the auto. Did not leave until 5 P.M. got here about 7:30. No electricity on so had to see by lantern light. Fixed up 2 beds and went to sleep.

Wed. Nov. 3, 1915

Floyd and I drove up to the cafeteria and got breakfast and some coffee for Mother who isn't very well. Then Ethel and I drove to Anaheim to clean up and bring some stuff. Left about 1 P.M. with chicken wire etc on top of the auto. Chicken and ducks etc inside and the cat. She drove back and I held on all the way. Began to get things straightened up here. "Moovie" actress lives next door. She forgot her key and I climbed in a window and let her in in the eve.
