Depending on (the war and) how things go, I plan to travel to the
California State Library in Sacramento next week. (I live in San
Francisco, and Sacramento is about 100 miles away. It's a two hour
drive.) This will be my fifth trip to the State Library, which is a
major repository of California newspapers on microfilm. To date, I have
been able to survey newspapers from most all of the major metropolitan
areas in California. (See the various bibliographies for the citations and material that has been collected so far.) On this trip, I hope to dig through the Pasadena Star-News and La Opinion
(a Spanish-language newspaper based in Los Angeles) for the period of
the mid-to-late 1920's. I will be looking for film reviews and other
articles. If there is enough time, I may also look at the papers for
Long Beach and Santa Monica.
