PRESENTERS AT THE MARCH 31 SALON
1) Oviatt Building scholar MARC CHEVALIER will give a lecture with
accompanying slide show on the life and times of James Oviatt. Topics will
include Oviatt's eponymous building, his contributions to the Art Deco in
Los Angeles, his fashionable haberdashery Alexander & Oviatt, myths, legends
and the even more fascinating reality. Oviatt¹s arc is a microcosm of the
upwardly mobile in Jazz Age Los Angeles, and his story touches almost every
major aspect of culture and commerce in pre-war Los Angeles. For more on
