This week in 1929 the very first Academy Awards Ceremony was held in Hollywood and was hosted by Douglas Fairbanks. My question to you is in which historic hotel replete with a David Hockney underwater mural in the swimming pool did this event take place.
Think you know the answer? Let me know.
Would you like to find the answer along with other interesting facts about movie history and full pictures? Try browsing for books at the O’Shaughnessy-Frey library in the motion picture section which starts with the call numbers PN 1993 and with a book like this. Browsing books is sort of like surfing the web but with physical objects. If you ever need any kind of assistance please feel free to alert a librarian.
Last week I wanted to know the name of a very controversial self help book that doubles as a science fiction novel and the basis of a questionable cult/religion. There is nothing else that fits this discription but the book
Dianetcs written by L. Ron Hubbard and yes…I am fully aware that I will be sued any minute now.
The friends of Xenu who knew the answer are
Peter Erickson
Jim Pinkerton
Thanks to everyone who played!
