Los Angeles<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0The Times account of the pornography raid shows that by the 1950s the adult film industry had a heavy presence in the San Fernando Valley and that the ring operated much like a regular studio.George W. Richter, 63, 9721 Lemona Ave.<\/a>, a North Hills man with a long history in the porn industry, provided the film processing lab while his sons George F., 13019 Bracken St.<\/a>, Pacoima, and Robert C. Richter, Northridge, operated the cameras, The Times said.Distribution was handled by Jack Rappaport, 51, through his luggage store at 1734 S. Vermont Ave.<\/a>, and Lee La Beau, 42, of 5651 Melrose Ave<\/a>. (an address belonging to Aldik Artificial Flower Co., according to city directories and newspaper ads), The Times said.\u00a0And then there was the on-screen talent: Donald Harvey, 10660 E. Dorado Ave.<\/a>, Pacoima, and Barbara Jean Elliott, a.k.a. Kathryn Douglas.Similar arrests five years earlier seemed to have little effect. In August 1952, vice detectives raided George W. Richter’s lab at 1715 N. Mariposa<\/a> and seized 100 16-millimeter reels of pornography, The Times said.\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0“My headquarters has always been in Hollywood, Calif. I used girls who came to Hollywood to be in the movies but failed.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0“I had a post office box in Beverly Hills to get my C.O.D. returns from my express shipments. All my business was done over the telephone or by Western Union. I never used the mails in my business.”<\/p>\n

“In my time, I produced about 40 films and had another 60 duplicate negatives of other films. I should say I sold about 100 prints of each one.”<\/p>\n

“I furnished films for Tijuana, Mexico; also for Havana, Cuba, for burlesque.”<\/p>\n

“From 1931 to 1945 I had a photographic studio at 1605 N. Cahuenga Blvd., Hollywood. This was merely a blind. I made contacts with girls who came to me to be models. I later used them in my movies.”<\/p>\n

“In 1928 I made my first picture at 1154 N. Western Ave.<\/a>, Los Angeles, Calif. I used a prostitute and a studio truck driver for my cast. I made the picture for [blank] of San Francisco, who is dead now. I had the 35-millimeter negative of this picture. From this I had a 16-millimeter reduction negative made. I started to sell prints to friends of mine.”<\/p>\n

“I met a Chinese merchant in Chinatown. I sold him about 60 prints of this picture. Some of them went to China, so I was told. Then a Mr. [blank] came out to the coast from New York. He brought with him some new pictures. We traded back and forth. Then I sent two men to tour the country to make contacts for me. They were [blank] and [blank].”<\/p>\n

“They made connections and would telephone me the orders. I would send them by express or Greyhound bus. They would always collect in advance for the orders. This is how I got my connections all over the country.”<\/p>\n

“During my time, I guess I made about $50,000 a year. I spent it as fast as I made it, on women and liquor.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
