 patrons, with lifeguards who patrolled it in rowboats. For many years it 
 was a famous attraction at Ocean Beach along with Sutro Baths, the Cliff 
 House, and Playland-at-the-Beach. Mike Phipps will give a photographic 
 presentation on the pool’s history, from its glory days in the 1920s 
 through to the 1970s, when budgetary concerns and civic indifference led to 
 its closure; now only a piece of the bathhouse remains as a silent reminder

 Shop\n11:15 a.m.: PRESENT HISTORY: A Visual Documentation of Urban 
 Environment\n\nSpeaker: Stacey Carter \n\nStacey Carter’s artwork serves 
 as a visual document of the surrounding urban environment. Her multimedia 
 compositions are based on photographs that are transformed by use of 
 skilled printmaking technique combined with loose expressionistic hand 
 painting. Layered and compositionally rich, her art is a study of how 
 experiences define one’s environment, an acknowledgement of what has 
 passed and its importance to the present. Her work tends to “freeze 
 time,” making a platform for individual histories to be recalled and 
 shared once more.\n\n\n\n \nNoon: Chanteys: The Work Songs of Merchant

 Supervisors passed a law criminalizing the wearing in public of “a dress 
 not belonging to his or her sex.” From the Gold Rush, the civil rights 
 movement, and entertainment industry, drag has played a role in shaping the 
 city’s history. We will explore the stories from the colorful venues as

 House\n\nOrganization: 7 Mile House\n\nSpeaker: Vanessa Garcia\n\nIn this 
 first-ever comprehensive narrative on “The 7,” as it came to be called 
 in the 1950s, Vanessa traces its roots from 1858, when it began as a toll 
 gate carved along the bayside of San Bruno mountain; to a saloon, hotel, 
 and wheelman’s exchange in the early 1900s; to an illegal gambling den in 
 the years leading up to Prohibition; to a melting pot of carefree workers 
 from the Southern Pacific Railroad in the 1940s and S.E. Rykoff in the 
 1980s; to the largest illegal sports gambling syndicate west of the 
 Mississippi; to the family and dog-friendly restaurant, sports bar, and

 Film Museum\n\nSpeaker: David Kiehn\n\nIn 1912, film pioneer and co-owner 
 of the Essanay Film Manufacturing Company Gilbert “Broncho Billy” 
 Anderson arrived in the small town of Niles, California, searching for the 
 ideal location to film westerns. There he set up shop and over 350 films 
 later had cemented the west coast branch of Essanay in film history, with 
 major players such as Charlie Chaplin, Wallace Beery, and Ben Turpin along 
 for the ride before it all ended abruptly in 1916.\n\n\nSprague Anderson, 
 Bruce Cates, Diana Serra Cary (aka silent film legend Baby Peggy), and 
 David Kiehn. Courtesy Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum.\nUsing equipment 
 and techniques from the silent era and locations that are much like they 
 were over 100 years ago, Broncho Billy and the Bandit’s Secret presents a 
 fictionalized account of Anderson’s arrival in Niles, and how the town 
 sheriff joins forces with the movie gunslinger to bring a group of bandits 
 to justice. The concept of the film started out as a 15-minute short and 
 years in the making, it grew into a fully-realized feature two-reeler 
 complete with cowboys on horseback, a horse & buggy, 1908 Cadillac, 
 stagecoach, a gunfight and a robbery on an actual train and an appearance 
 by Diana Serra Cary (former silent film star Baby Peggy), it’s a trip 
 back in time unlike any other!\n\nWindow to the Past is an accompanying 
 documentary detailing the history of the project.\n\n \n3:45 p.m.: 
 Nowsreal\n\nOrganization: The Diggers\n\nSpeaker: Judy Goldhaft\n\nThis 
 loose network of San Francisco activists used guerrilla theater, direct 
 action, and a good sense of humor to explore social alternatives. Poetry 
 readings, arrests, free food, burning money, and tie-dyeing were all part 
 of the fun.\n\n\n\nNowsreal (1968) is a documentary that looks at the 
 Diggers scene in the Haight circa 1967. It was made by Kelly Hart and
