My family lived on Friar St. between Noble and Columbus. My mother still lives in that house that was built in 1947. Does anyone remember “Doc” Sloan the manager when I worked at the Fox Van Nuys Theatre?

No. The theatre I wrote of was new at the time. 1954. A Fox West Coast Theatre.

I believe the first manager of the Trona theatre was Ernest “Doc” Sloan. I worked for him at the Van Nuys theatre from 1954 until he transferred to Trona in 1955 or 1956. He was a good man, and absolutely, dead honest. Because Trona is rather remote I believe that is the reason he was transferred there. Fox trusted him.
If the pictures you mentioned are available on the internet would you guide me to them? I was never able to visit.
I haven’t thought of him in years.
Thank you in advance. Carlene
