Harry Chandler's Hollywoodland
Rachel Chandler’s great-great-grandfather, Bohemian Grove and his wicked ways
Harry Chandler was well versed in illusion and magic which is a time-honored method used by intelligence agencies. An example is the 1923 construction of the Hollywood sign situated on top of the Santa Monica Mountains. It originally read “Hollywoodland” and was installed to promote his new housing development. Chandler and a handful of real estate partners spent $21,000.00 for the 45-foot-high letters. In this instance illusion or magic is used as an advertising tool.
