Dateline – March 1920
The Pandora Productions studio of Los Angeles was making the silent film “Crucifix of Destiny” near the Santa Barbara Mission in 1920. An actor, dressed as a monk, “was given a handful of coppers by an old woman, who mistook him for the bona fide article.” – Camera, March 20, 1920
A portion of this film is available for viewing online. Early scenes in the movie were filmed at the Mission and St. Anthony’s Seminary, so it’s a way for you to take a peek at that area 100+ years ago. (The final portion of the movie appears to be missing.) Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Thanks… Loved the “Dedicated to the memory of My Mother” opening. Chapter 2 – me -> dude straighten your tie… (which magically continues to be straightened then crooked again “Movie Magic”)
Hah, hah! I had not noticed the tie positioning problem. That’s what continuity editors are for.
