A copy of the front page of Los Angeles High School's Blue and White Daily, Tuesday, January 14, 1936, with a tribute to recently passed graduate Harry Carr, class of S'96, journalist for the LA Times.
Photograph of participants in the Olvera Street memorial service for Los Angeles Times columnist Harry Carr, beneath a striped canvas awning with mourners beneath umbrellas further back. The Chito Montoya stringed orchestra plays in the foreground and singers face a microphone (for radio KMTR), in the center. It is draped with a black wreath and black-rimmed photograph of Mr. Carr bearing the farewell "Vaya Va Con Dios." Ernesto A. Romero, Vice-Culsul for Mexico in Los Angeles, wears a trench coat and glasses (right). In front of him in a black lace veil and holding a sheet of music is Consuela de Bonzo, a Mexican community leader (owner of the restaurant Casa La Golondrina at 17 Olvera St.).
In another photograph of this scene (image ark no. 21198/zz002hb1s5), a table with a checked table cloth suggests that the location might be a restaurant (perhaps Casa La Golondrina at 17 Olvera St., owned by Consuela De Bonzo, a Mexican community leader who spoke at the service).
Mourners pray at a temporary altar at the Olvera Street memorial service for Los Angeles Times columnist Harry Carr. The altar contains a small statue of the Virgin Mary and a Crucifix. Six women and one man kneel and five men stand in prayer, holding lit candles. A painted brick wall has more lit candles on its ledge and the lower portion of an image of the Virgin Mary is also visible. A table with a checked table cloth on the right suggests that the location might be a restaurant (perhaps Casa La Golondrina at 17 Olvera St., owned by Consuela De Bonzo, a Mexican community leader who spoke at the service).
View of participants in the memorial service held on Olvera Street for Harry Carr, Los Angeles Times columnist. Consuela De Bonzo, a Mexican community leader (and owner of the restaurant Casa La Golondrina at 17 Olvera St.), stands on the left as a man speaks into a microphone (for KMTR radio). A woman stands beside him and Ernesto A. Romero, Vice-Cunsul for Mexico in Los Angeles, stands on the right. Romero holds a black wreath and a sign with a photograph of Carr and the message "Vaya No Con Dios." Other participants standing behind hold lit candles.
