By Betsy J. Green
The “Flying A” studio released a couple of movies in June 1918. One was “Up Romance Road,” a comedy-drama that took a lighter approach to husband-wife relationships. An elopement, a fake kidnapping and German spies complicated this romance.
My next Way Back When book — 1918 — will be available in local bookstores in November, and at Amazon.com. This will be the fifth book in my series of the history of Santa Barbara, one year at a time.
