... we also saw the
Bernheimer
Gardens.
This is a Japanese affair build by two old bachelors at an enormous
cost and they are now both dead so the estate has been opened to the public
at a small cost, for inspection. The pagodas through the gardens are roofed
with gold.
On Sunday we went to
Venice about 20 miles away from Los Angeles and this place is the
Manly of the district. It is built after the style of White City with
every kind of amusement possible in it.
[Footnote: White
City, also see letter 13]
On Monday afternoon we were out at
Universal City Studios but as all the actors etc were some distance out shooting
pictures in the field we did not see much except some of the stages and
street scenes they use.
