Ethel's "baby" - John Frederick


One of these pictures went to Ada and the other to Fred (who I think must be Ethel and Ada's brother - see later posts), but they are both part of Ada's archive. Ethel is asking for photos of Ada's son Donald in uniform, so presumably this is some time during WWII. She mentions that these were taken a few months ago "over on Clark Drive". In the "after 4 p.m." pictures, she tells us that they lived on Clark Drive. The "Easter Sunday" pictures were taken outside their house and part of Arnaz Drive is visible. Clark Drive and Arnaz Drive run parallel and are fairly close together, but Robertson Boulevard runs between the two and I don't think you could see one from the other. Did they move house? I really need to go on a fact-finding visit to Beverly Hills to sort this one. Any sponsorship deals would be most welcome! References to studios and rehearsals tell us that Jack and Peter both followed in their parents' footsteps into movie acting.
