Zoo & Pony Express, 1939

This 1939 home movie captures a blonde woman mugging at the camera, exiting a car with a "Physician" plate (4S 56 12), tied to Dr. Wm. J. Ross at 1633 S. Burlington Ave, LA. Family scenes unfold in a bungalow court—clowning with tools, trash dumping, and kids playing—before shifting to zoo animals and the Pony Express Museum in Arcadia, curated by W. Parker Lyon. A party, airplane NC 14229, and a parade with the LA County Mounted Sheriff’s Posse and Southern Pacific steam engine follow, blending domestic life with Western flair.
