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 of a bygone era.

Female impersonation and drag has changed throughout the course of not only San Francisco’s history, but throughout the world. In the 1860s the San Francisco Board of 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.

Organization: 7 Mile House

Speaker: Vanessa Garcia

In 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 live music venue that it is today.

2:15 p.m.: Broncho Billy and the Bandit’s Secret/Window to the Past

Organization: Niles-Essanay Silent Film Museum

Speaker: David Kiehn

In 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.


Sprague Anderson, Bruce Cates, Diana Serra Cary (aka silent film legend Baby Peggy), and David Kiehn. Courtesy Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum.
Using 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!

Window to the Past is an accompanying documentary detailing the history of the project.


3:45 p.m.: Nowsreal

Organization: The Diggers

Speaker: Judy Goldhaft

This 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.



Nowsreal (1968) is a documentary that looks at the Diggers scene in the Haight circa 1967. It was made by Kelly Hart and Diggers founder Peter Berg, with help from celebrated cinematographer Haskell Wexler. The movie will be followed by a Q&A.
