EAST BAY’S BEST MOVIE THEATRE with the Best 3-D Presentation in the Bay Area Experience the beauty of Hollywood’s Golden Era of movie palaces. Read what our favorite critics*, our customers, say about the Grand Lake. . . “The Grand Lake Theatre is truly “grand!” One of the few great, classic movie palaces still remaining. Seeing a movie here is a special experience.” — Robert H., Piedmont “The Grand Lake is an architectural marvel that harkens to a time when cinema was meant to lift its audience to a place of beauty and enchantment. It is wonderful how well it is maintained and preserved. More than a movie, a trip to the Grand Lake is a total entertainment experience. Best wishes.” — Chris C., El Cerrito “Going to the movies at the Grand Lake leaves me feeling like I’ve really been somewhere — just like I did when I was a kid. The gracious surroundings and ambience contribute greatly to the moviegoing experience for me. I’m so glad it is here and refurbished for generations to come. A true landmark.” — Mary Lou W., Hayward “This is a wonderful place to see a movie. It makes going to a movie a special occasion, bringing you into an elegant, otherworldly environment. Great sound system and comfortable seating, too.” — Nikki N., El Cerrito “Viewing a film at the Grand Lake is a special experience. It is immensely more than a home video and doesn’t compare to your average multiplex. The Grand Lake Theatre is like a Rolls Royce while the multiplexes are so many Hyundais. However, unlike the cars, the price is the same.” — Andrew C., Piedmont “. . . regal, magnificent . . .makes me want to stay for hours. 2 Thumbs Up, Way Up!” — Pam C., Oakland “We love the Grand Lake Theatre — it’s the best!” — Carol B. & Beth S., Oakland “It is always enjoyable coming to the Grand Lake Theatre and experiencing what a ‘real’ movie theater is like.” — Dan L., San Leandro “A theater in the grand manner of the ‘palaces’ of the 1930s and 40s. It is wonderful that this theater still exists. It is a jewel. — Estelle S., Long Beach, NY “This theater is awesome. I sat down and scanned it from stem to stern and could not believe the grandeur of it. Spacious, clean, great music. It’s beautiful. I’ve been in the Majestic Theater in London and find this one comparable to it. It’s always a pleasure to come here when I visit. Great sound. — Beverly C., Beddiford, ME “Great new movies in a classic setting. Experience films before they were disposable. The Grand Lake Theatre reminds us that movies used to be a place to see the community.” — Justin H., Oakland “The most leg room of any theater.” — Gary S., Alameda “We love this theater! We remember it from when we were children and now we take our kids here.” — Mr. & Mrs. Richard S., Berkeley “Oakland’s Grand Lake is worth the trip from out of town. But for some it’s an easy walk. Either way — historic charm and comfort. The Grand Lake is a treasure.” — Mike & Cecelia T., Oakland “Magnificent! Opulent! From the sweeping staircases in the lobby to the soaring sounds of the live pipe organ, the Grand Lake reminds us of a time when moviegoers were treated like kings and surrounded by finery.” — Will C., Livermore “This place is a masterpiece — one of Oakland’s jewels.” — Lori H., Oakland “This is a GRAND theater; we look forward to it every time we come here. The interior decorating is breathtakingly beautiful. Thanks for this special treat in Oakland.” — H. & B., Oakland “We love your theater! I always come here for movies if possible . . . Love the new seats.” — J.T., Alameda “The Grand Lake has something that none of the new theaters will ever acquire — character.” — Kua P., Oakland “It’s wonderful to go to one of the only classic theaters left in the Bay Area. A pleasure not to be in a crowded multiplex.” — Karen L., Oakland “This is my favorite movie theater because it makes going to the movies as beautiful as going to the ballet — what a treat!” — L.S., Oakland “ . . . I can’t emphasize enough how much I love this theater: Thank you for the experience.” — T.C., San Francisco * Last names have been omitted to protect the privacy of our patrons.

Recorded Information (510) 452-3556 JUNE 5, 2011 5 Vintage Style Solutions by Sandra Michaan Our Resident Style Expert Summer Lovin’ at The Point Show producer & our resident style expert takes you shopping for vintage summer essentials to keep you cool. Last month at the Alameda Point Antiques Faire, the former jet runways were burning up and it felt like a summer scorcher. When temperatures rise, it’s time to shop for summer staples. Literally hundreds and hundreds of vintage goodies are waiting to be discovered, and with bargains at the Point, you can deck yourself out for a whole lot less than that summer dress at the mall you’ve been lusting after and have plenty left over to deck out your deck, on a budget. - Allyn Scura Eyewear booth at The Alameda Point Vintage Fashion Faire - Jara Ra & Sandra Michaan with their French Cafe finds for Eye on the Bay commercial - Cat Eye glasses & a wide brimmed hat on Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” I recreated a French café for a commercial airing on Eye On The Bay for under $200.00 at the show and you can watch it on our website’s blog and on Facebook. Even with sunscreen, the all day filming got me a little sunburned. I couldn’t wear a sunhat for the shoot but I highly recommend a wide brimmed chapeau for shopping or a parasol for protection. Here are some fun retro fashion tips to keep you cool. When shopping at the Point, fill up your jewelry box with loads of new accessories, add some big straw bags into the mix, and amp everything up with outfit-changing belts. Go bohemian with crystals, feathers and tribal cuffs. Anything with fringe or macramé is right 6 on trend for a 70’s beach goddess vibe. I found scores of vintage sandals for $20 or less to relieve my aching feet. Retro-shades: Protect your peepers at the Point. Vintage shaped shades are in a retro frame of mind. At the Alameda Point Vintage Fashion Faire, Allyn Scura Eyewear offered many playful patterns and styles in vintage frames for both men and women. They also sell the Alameda Point Antiques Faire so you can find your perfect summer shades. Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in ‘Breakfast at Tiffanys’ remains a fashion icon and since retro styles are on every celebrity, it makes sense to see cat eye sunglasses back in the spotlight! THE POINT There are still the main basic trends - retro, oversized, glam and aviators - and when you look at the Spring/Summer 2011 runway, most of these are present. But there are always a few standouts each season, and cat eye is one of them right now. It was a very popular shape back in the 50s & 60s. You can find many options, at every price at the Point. For decorating, create a groovy sea shack. Alameda island life begs for a surfboard décor. Why not buy some vintage surfboards and hang ten? Two or three from the 70’s hanging on a wall can serve as art if you collect vintage boards. Add some rustic tones of pottery and beach scene photography in your scheme. I always see - Beach signs in the booth of The Vintage Bricoleur at the a wide array of beach art for sale every month Alameda Point Antiques Faire from shells to lifeguard signs. Life is a beach party. Get creative for summer and you’ll have it See Sandra’s Blog for more vintage style tips and made in the shade…at The Point! trends: www.alamedapointantiquesfaire.com - Paid Advertisements - The Original is Back!

Our style crew spotted Joshua Rowland of San Francisco and stopped him to find out about his score. What do you do when it’s cold out at the Faire? Buy vintage fur! It amps every outfit up a notch and is perfect for the occasional gray day by the Bay.

Baker Butterflies in flight, flowers blooming, recreation and reinvention – spring is definitely in the air. Michaan’s Auctions Jewelry Department presents in the June Fine Sale dazzling and delightful pieces that echo the beautiful creatures and colors of spring. The whimsical items range from the 19th century to contemporary designs, sure to please serious collectors as well as the young at heart. During the early 19th century flowers remained popular in jewelry design but the period also saw a resurgence of animals as inspiration. A re-emerging interest in naturalism drove the animal motifs to a new level of popularity and by the latter 19th century, animal, insect and fantasy creature designs crawled their way onto many arms, necks and fingers. Reflecting the styles of this period are a Victorian ruby, diamond, 14k white gold bouquet brooch (lot 1329, $9001,200), an Edwardian diamond, 14k white and yellow gold, platinum insect necklace containing a 1.85 cushion-cut diamond (lot 1354, $1,8002,500), a Victorian garnet, diamond, silver, 14k yellow gold bug brooch displaying a beautiful blood red color (lot 1355, $2,750-3,000), an emerald-eyed, diamond, 18k white gold gecko brooch (lot 1356, $1,200-1,500) and an early 19th century ring featuring a sapphire, ruby, silver and 14k yellow gold basket of flowers (lot 1357, $700800). Contemporary styles featuring like-minded themes are also available. A wonderfully geometric Asch Grossbardt multi-stone, 18k yellow gold bee brooch is being offered as lot 1382 ($400-600) as well as a tourmaline, emerald, diamond, 14k yellow gold bug brooch with beautifully detailed wings (lot 1387, $2,5003,500), a pair of diamond, sapphire, 18k yellow gold drop flower earrings (lot 1414, $1,9002,500) and a jadeite, diamond, ruby, 14k white gold butterfly brooch with carved jadeite wings (lot 1469, $1,200-1,500). Rounding out the unique novelty collection is a Pomellato, 18k yellow gold Orso teddy bear pendant (lot 1377, $800-1,200), a Lalaounis 18k yellow gold sea horse brooch (lot 1379, $400600) and a Corletto emerald, diamond, enamel, 18k yellow gold tiger ring (lot 1380, $1,4001,800). Three Ruser items are also up for auction, beginning with a 14k yellow gold “Sundays Child” charm (lot 1402, $300-500), a synthetic sapphire, freshwater cultured pearl, 14k yellow JUNE 5, 2011 gold “Angel” charm (lot 1403, $250-350) and a synthetic sapphire, freshwater cultured pearl, 14k yellow gold heart charm (lot 1404, $250-350). Lastly, are two decidedly feminine pieces: a ruby, diamond, 14k yellow gold ballet brooch, designed as a dancer in mid-performance (lot 1406, $600800) and a diamond, 14k white and yellow gold ribbon brooch, that could attractively finish any woman’s lapel (lot 1411, $800-1,200). All of the pieces will be up for auction on Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 2751 Todd Street, Alameda, CA 94501, with the auction beginning at 10 a.m. 15 The Art of Tiffany Windows by Reyne Haines, 20th Century Decorative Arts Specialist By the time Louis Comfort Tiffany began designing windows, the art of window making had been alive almost 500 years. The earliest windows were a mix of colored glass, all handmade, and filled with imperfections which added to its unique character. The glass pieces were small, and put together like a puzzle with broken lead. Stained glass windows would be the next phase artisans would create in window design. Larger pieces of glass were used and they would be stained with a color or enamel to create detail. Many of the stained glass windows found in churches in the United States in the 1800s were produced in England. Most stained glass artists in the United States found it necessary to import glass. In the late 1800s, two American’s began to lead in window design: John LaFarge and Louis C. Tiffany. Both began experimenting with different types of glass, and different ways to create the scene of the window without painted detail (except in figures, faces and hands). In the 1870s there was a large demand for windows in America. Not just in churches, but in schools, political buildings and mausoleums. Tiffany and LaFarge were no longer the only players in this field. In the New York area there was Heuser & Hausleiter, Lamb Studios, Francis Lathrop, and H.W. Young. There were other Midwest firms producing as well. In the early years, Tiffany did not manufacture his own glass for his windows. He purchased it from several East Coast glasshouses, and also from a new manufacturer called Opalescent Glass Works in Kokomo, Ind. When Tiffany finally began experimenting with glass production he had the misfortune of his first two glasshouses being destroyed by fire. In 1893 he opened a new glasshouse in the Corona neighborhood of Queens. In his constant striving to be the best, Tiffany traveled abroad to find the best glassblowers and chemists to bring back to the Corona factory. here would be no color of glass he could not create. 16 Tiffany windows were not designed strictly for commercial buildings, but for private residences of the rich – from the Vanderbilts to the Havemeyers and even Mark Twain. Tiffany’s windows were expensive. He would lose the option for many commissioned works simply because of the price. The cost of a mid-size window was $700, the equivalent of $15,000 today. As times and tastes changed, so did the love for all things Tiffany. As the Art Deco movement began to take hold, more people began to remove their Tiffany windows and either pack them away or discard them. Geometric lines and crystal colors defined the Art Deco movement. Tiffany’s brightly colored lamps and windows were thought to be garish and out of style. Today Tiffany windows can still be readily found gracing residences, churches and public buildings across America. A few of the betterknown in the Los Angeles area are the windows at First Presbyterian Church, First Methodist Church and at the Ginter Mausoleum at Hollywood Cemetery. THE POINT - Paid Advertisement - What’s It Worth? by Jane Alexiadis, Appraiser, Michaan’s Auction qrstuwvxjy pqrstuwvxjy pqrstuwvxjy pqrstu Q. This bear was given to my Mom as a Christmas gift in 1918 in Washington Sate. He is straw filled and has rods in his legs and glass eyes. He is in very good condition. I was told he is rare, and that the he was made in Germany, by a company that went out of business during the war. Wondering more about my bear. The child in the photo is me, when I was about two years old. A. What a wonderful heirloom and treasure! While stuffed dolls and animals have been around forever, the unusual synchronicity of the birth Teddy Bear as we know it happened independently in the United States and Germany in 1902. In Germany, art student Richard Steiff, the nephew of stuffed toy maker Margaret Steiff, had begun sketching the animals at the Stuttgart zoo. The zoo at the time had a pair of bear cubs who were sketched frequently by Richard with realistic looking long snouts and humped backs. In 1902 Margaret Steiff ’s company began to produce stuffed bears based on these sketches. In the United States, president Teddy Roosevelt had visited Mississippi to help resolve a border dispute with Louisiana. According to the story, his Mississippi hosts took the avid outdoorsman on a hunting trip. The hunt was unsuccessful so his hosts, hoping to please the president, managed to capture a mother bear for Roosevelt to shoot: Roosevelt refused to shoot either the Mama or her cub. The incident, “drawing the line” was captured by Washington Post cartoonist Clifford Berryman. He depicted Roosevelt drawing a line in the earth to settle the border dispute while drawing the line ethically by refusing to shoot the bear cub. 18 The cartoon went the 1902 version of viral and toy companies jumped on the trend producing cuddly stuffed bears. The most successful of these companies, the Ideal Toy Company, modeled their bears sitting upright in an innocent pose after the cartoon. By 1906, after Roosevelt campaigned with a bear cub mascot, he was serving his second term and children and adults alike clamored for stuffed bears. Your marvelous Teddy Bear with his humped back, long limbs and long snout represents the German style realistic bear. The stuffing is probably excelsior and the fact that it has rods in the limbs leads me to believe that this might have started its life as a pull toy rather than as a cuddly stuffed animal. Steiff and other German makers posed bears, dogs and donkeys on all fours and mounted them on four wheeled trestles to be pulled around. Most of the Steiff bears of the period featured swivel necks but your neck appears to be stitched. This leads me to think that your bear is not a Steiff but perhaps by one of the many other high end German toy makers such as Hermann or Schuco. Your bear seems to be in great condition with minimal wear to the mohair fur. If it were to come to auction it would sell in the $200-300 range. I hope you can hand your lovely bear down to a grandchild yourself someday!

JUNE 5, 2011 Here is a profile of one of our bikes that we hope you enjoy: This Schwinn American bicycle represents the best of what we today call classic. Built in the good old U.S.A., it is what comes to mind when we imagine the idyllic promise of mid20th century American life. Loved by millions of young boys and girls, in the ‘50s and ‘60s, the “paperboy” style frame, durable and sturdy, became the go-to “clunker” bike at the dawn of what is now known as mountain biking in Marin in the late ‘70s. This and many other fine examples can be found and bought at Changing Gears Bike Shop. 19 - Paid Advertisements - MARIN OUTDOOR Antique Market (The French Market) 9am-3pm Antiques, Collectibles, Vintage Furniture, Vintage Jewelry Every Month & Clothes, Retro Décor, Shabby Vintage Chic June thru Oct! and a host of other items.

THE POINT A Specialist’s Perspective The Changing Definition of “A Museum Piece” by Gregory Ghent, Director of Fine Arts, Michaan’s Auctions Today the phrase “museum piece” has become synonymous with “a masterpiece,” a remarkable object or artwork worthy of being admired by the entire world. This is a fairly new definition of the term. Even just 50 years ago, a “museum piece” was an artwork loaned or donated to a museum because the owner, for a variety of reasons, did not want it in the home - or castle. There was much less prestige attached to the loaning or donation of art to a museum, historical society or institution. A masterpiece was meant to be enjoyed at one’s home - or castle, while a museum piece was a discard. Not anymore. Since the 1960s art collectors bang on museum doors to give or loan a masterpiece they’d bought only a few months earlier. Museums can be picky about what they accept. Plus, most museums now have acquisition committees with budgets to buy artworks that they really want. Did you know that at auction previews you can get an up-close first-hand look at artworks destined to be a museum piece? Michaan’s June 9th Fine Art, Furniture, Decorative Art and Jewelry Auction has samples of such pieces. We invite you to preview!
