AMONG THE HILLS

home seekers the Deautiful little valley
of Eagle Rock. Lying six miles from
the heart of the busy city of Los An
geles, Eagle Rock had waited for years
unnoticed and almost unknown. When
once however, through the advent of
the street railway, her beauties be
came known, it was not long before the
strangers who came to stroll on her
pretty highways or follow the many
trails over the hills, or to rest in her
shady canyons decided that here was
the ideal spot for a home.
And so it is no wonder that within
the last three years Eagle Rock val
lev has become a most thriving little
community with a class of residents OF
which she is justly proud She mas
gathered about her the highest class
of professional and business men ana
their families whose substantial homes
may be seen on every slope of the
valley
Famous artists, musicians and edu-
Gators also are rapidly building up a
community which will bring to Eagle
Rock valley the credit it justly de-
serves and we believe that no other
place in Southern California can pre-
sent to the artistic or cultured class
of people the many advantages which
Eagle Rock valley is oHeIlhS eNeiS
day.
TO the artistic it offers an endless
nanOrama of magnificent views, OF
brilliant skies, majestic mountains
rolling meadows and wooded canyons
To the tired man of business 1t offers
quiet, peaceful home at night where
the few hours he spends away from
his business may be spent in pure
atmosphere amid healthful surround
ings. To the men and women who are
raising families it presents the ad-
yantages of two splendid schools
thriving churches, a progressive Wom-
ans club and delightful social life.
And so it is not surprising that to-
day the stranger may stand on any
hillside in Eagle Rock valley anu
a vista of beautiful homes growing
up around him and among these are
the homes of many men and women OF
note who have already achieved Drill
liant recognition of their work ana
who are today finding deep ana
abiding happiness in homes among
the pleasant Eagle Rock hills.
In a pretty little bungalow, at the
ton of a summer slope with her hus-
band and a baby girl lives Mrs. Elsa
Won Grofc MenaSCO, famous Nlollhcel-
list, Possessed of most charming
personality Nine. Menasco had won IlCf
wav into the hearts of the residents
of Eagle Rock before it had ever be
come known that in Nine. Menasco
was an artist which the greatest
American and European musical critics
had delighted to honor Nine. Menasco
is a member of a family of fine mu-
sicians. her father, b. Bierlich, belng
first cellist of the Los Angeles sym
phony orchestra. AS a pupil of julius
Klengel of the royal conservatory at
Ieipzig Madame Menasco has gained
for herself the plaudits of the musical
world of Europe and America. Ana
although the busiest of women, Nine
Menasco has yet a little time to spare
for the Womans Twentieth Century
Climb of which she is a member and with
her cello has generously contributed
MANY times to the pleasure of the mem
bers and their friends. And still with
the memory of the applause of the
roval courts of Europe yet in her
heart. and the enthusiasm of her many
friends and musical deVOtees constant
ly surrounding her Madame Menasco
finds her greatest happiness in her ut
tie home among the hills and in the
companionship of her wee girl who
promises from present indications to
follow in her famous mothers foot
steps.
