History of Highland Park

 


Paging virtually through the 19 May 1922 edition of the Highland Park News-Herald & Journal my eye fell upon an ad for a movie showing at the local Sunbeam Theatre (where Sunbeam Vintage the furniture store is now). The movie in question was called The Silent Call and appears to a be a melodrama involving a “wolf-dog.” Tickets are 33 cents for adults. Check out the paper for more news of “that” day. 

If you’re looking for old editions of local newspapers, including our own Highland Park News-Herald & Journal or Highland Park Post-Dispatch, you should check out the California Digital Newspaper Collection housed at the University of California at Riverside and available online at https://cdnc.ucr.edu/
