Notes	Title supplied by cataloger.; Herman J. Schultheis was born in Aachen, Germany in 1900, and immigrated to the United States in the mid-1920s after obtaining a Ph.D. in mechanical and electrical engineering. He married Ethel Wisloh in 1936, and the pair moved to Los Angeles the following year. He worked in the film industry from the late 1930s to the mid-1940s, most notably on the animated features Fantasia and Pinocchio. His detailed notebook, documenting the special effects for Fantasia, is the subject of a 14-minute short-subject included on the film's DVD. In 1949, he started employment with Librascope as a patent engineer. Schultheis was an avid amateur photographer who traveled the world with his cameras. It was on one of these photographic exhibitions in 1955 that he disappeared in the jungles of Guatemala. His remains were discovered 18 months later. The digitized portion of this collection represents the images Schultheis took of Los Angeles and its surrounding communities after he relocated to the area in 1937.
Historical Data	In 1918, Laguna Beach established the Laguna Art Association. The Association planned an art festival, for the week following the1932 Los Angeles Olympics. The event, which featured exhibitions, plays, a parade, street market, and tours of artists' studios, was the birth of the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts. A favorite was the Living Pictures show created by artist and vaudevillian Lolita Perine. She dressed local residents in costume and seated them behind a makeshift frame. In 1935 Roy Ropp expanded the concept and renamed the event The Spirit of the Masters, and then the Pageant of the Masters. Between 1933 and 1940, the Festival of Arts and Pageant of the Masters moved locations every summer before finding a permanent home in 1941.
