THE POINT
WINNER! EAST BAY’S BEST
MOVIE THEATRE
with the Best 3-D Presentation in the Bay Area
Experience the beauty of Hollywood’s Golden Era of movie palaces.
Read what our favorite critics*, our customers, say about the Grand Lake. . .
“The Grand Lake Theatre is truly “grand!” One of
the few great, classic movie palaces still remaining.
Seeing a movie here is a special experience.”
— Robert H., Piedmont
“The Grand Lake is an architectural marvel that
harkens to a time when cinema was meant to lift its
audience to a place of beauty and enchantment. It is
wonderful how well it is maintained and preserved.
More than a movie, a trip to the Grand Lake is a
total entertainment experience. Best wishes.”
— Chris C., El Cerrito
“Going to the movies at the Grand Lake leaves me
feeling like I’ve really been somewhere — just like
I did when I was a kid. The gracious surroundings
and ambience contribute greatly to the moviegoing
experience for me. I’m so glad it is here and
refurbished for generations to come. A true
landmark.”
— Mary Lou W., Hayward
“This is a wonderful place to see a movie. It makes
going to a movie a special occasion, bringing you
into an elegant, otherworldly environment. Great
sound system and comfortable seating, too.”
— Nikki N., El Cerrito
“Viewing a film at the Grand Lake is a special
experience. It is immensely more than a home
video and doesn’t compare to your average
multiplex. The Grand Lake Theatre is like a Rolls
Royce while the multiplexes are so many Hyundais.
However, unlike the cars, the price is the same.”
— Andrew C., Piedmont
“. . . regal, magnificent . . .makes me want to stay for
hours. 2 Thumbs Up, Way Up!”
— Pam C., Oakland
“We love the Grand Lake Theatre — it’s the best!”
— Carol B. & Beth S., Oakland
“It is always enjoyable coming to the Grand Lake
Theatre and experiencing what a ‘real’ movie
theater is like.”
— Dan L., San Leandro
“A theater in the grand manner of the ‘palaces’ of the
1930s and 40s. It is wonderful that this theater still
exists. It is a jewel.
— Estelle S., Long Beach, NY
“This theater is awesome. I sat down and scanned
it from stem to stern and could not believe the
grandeur of it. Spacious, clean, great music. It’s
beautiful. I’ve been in the Majestic Theater in London
and find this one comparable to it. It’s always a
pleasure to come here when I visit. Great sound.
— Beverly C., Beddiford, ME
“Great new movies in a classic setting. Experience
films before they were disposable. The Grand Lake
Theatre reminds us that movies used to be a place
to see the community.”
— Justin H., Oakland
“The most leg room of any theater.”
— Gary S., Alameda
“We love this theater! We remember it from when
we were children and now we take our kids here.”
— Mr. & Mrs. Richard S., Berkeley
“Oakland’s Grand Lake is worth the trip from out
of town. But for some it’s an easy walk. Either way
— historic charm and comfort. The Grand Lake
is a treasure.”
— Mike & Cecelia T., Oakland
“Magnificent! Opulent! From the sweeping
staircases in the lobby to the soaring sounds of the
live pipe organ, the Grand Lake reminds us of a
time when moviegoers were treated like kings and
surrounded by finery.”
— Will C., Livermore
“This place is a masterpiece — one of Oakland’s
jewels.”
— Lori H., Oakland
“This is a GRAND theater; we look forward
to it every time we come here. The
interior decorating is breathtakingly
beautiful. Thanks for this special treat
in Oakland.”
— H. & B., Oakland
“We love your theater! I always
come here for movies if possible
. . . Love the new seats.”
— J.T., Alameda
“The Grand Lake has something
that none of the new theaters
will ever acquire — character.”
— Kua P., Oakland
“It’s wonderful to go to one of
the only classic theaters left in
the Bay Area. A pleasure not to be
in a crowded multiplex.”
— Karen L., Oakland
“This is my favorite movie theater
because it makes going to the
movies as beautiful as going to the
ballet — what a treat!”
— L.S., Oakland
“ . . . I can’t emphasize enough how much I love this
theater: Thank you for the experience.”
— T.C., San Francisco

Vintage Style Solutions
by Sandra Michaan Our Resident Style Expert
Summer Lovin’ at The Point
Show producer & our resident style expert takes you shopping for vintage
summer essentials to keep you cool.
Last month at the Alameda Point Antiques Faire,
the former jet runways were burning up and it
felt like a summer scorcher. When temperatures
rise, it’s time to shop for summer staples.
Literally hundreds and hundreds of vintage
goodies are waiting to be discovered, and with
bargains at the Point, you can deck yourself out
for a whole lot less than that summer dress at the
mall you’ve been lusting after and have plenty
left over to deck out your deck, on a budget.
- Allyn Scura Eyewear booth at The Alameda Point
Vintage Fashion Faire
- Jara Ra & Sandra Michaan with their French Cafe finds
for Eye on the Bay commercial
- Cat Eye glasses & a wide brimmed hat on Audrey
Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”
I recreated a French café for a commercial
airing on Eye On The Bay for under $200.00 at
the show and you can watch it on our website’s
blog and on Facebook. Even with sunscreen,
the all day filming got me a little sunburned.
I couldn’t wear a sunhat for the shoot but I
highly recommend a wide brimmed chapeau for
shopping or a parasol for protection.
Here are some fun retro fashion tips to keep
you cool.
When shopping at the Point, fill up your
jewelry box with loads of new accessories, add
some big straw bags into the mix, and amp
everything up with outfit-changing belts. Go
bohemian with crystals, feathers and tribal
cuffs. Anything with fringe or macramé is right
6
on trend for a 70’s beach goddess vibe. I found
scores of vintage sandals for $20 or less to relieve
my aching feet.
Retro-shades: Protect your peepers at the
Point. Vintage shaped shades are in a retro frame
of mind. At the Alameda Point Vintage Fashion
Faire, Allyn Scura Eyewear offered many playful
patterns and styles in vintage frames for both
men and women. They also sell the Alameda
Point Antiques Faire so you can find your perfect
summer shades.
Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in
‘Breakfast at Tiffanys’ remains a fashion icon and since retro styles are on every celebrity, it
makes sense to see cat eye sunglasses back in the
spotlight!
THE POINT
There are still the main basic trends - retro,
oversized, glam and aviators - and when you
look at the Spring/Summer 2011 runway, most
of these are present. But there are always a few
standouts each season, and cat eye is one of them
right now. It was a very popular shape back in
the 50s & 60s. You can find many options, at
every price at the Point.
For decorating, create a groovy sea shack.
Alameda island life begs for a surfboard décor.
Why not buy some vintage surfboards and hang
ten? Two or three from the 70’s hanging on a
wall can serve as art if you collect vintage boards.
Add some rustic tones of pottery and beach
scene photography in your scheme. I always see - Beach signs in the booth of The Vintage Bricoleur at the
a wide array of beach art for sale every month
Alameda Point Antiques Faire
from shells to lifeguard signs. Life is a beach
party. Get creative for summer and you’ll have it See Sandra’s Blog for more vintage style tips and
made in the shade…at The Point!

Fierce & Fabulous at The Point
You come to shop for vintage treasures, stay
for the tasty treats – but people-watching at
The Point is a well-known, pleasurable pasttime. Our style crew spotted Joshua Rowland
of San Francisco and stopped him to find out
about his score. What do you do when it’s
cold out at the Faire? Buy vintage fur! It amps
every outfit up a notch and is perfect for the
occasional gray day by the Bay. So Fierce!

NEW RAINOUT POLICY
The Alameda Point Antiques Faire has established a new Rollover Faire Date Policy. If a show
is rained out we will automatically schedule a make up show for the following Sunday, the 2nd
Sunday of the month. The Rollover date will only be scheduled if show management cancels
the show. Check the website to see the status of the show. Look for your favorite dealers in their
regular spots, as most of them will be there.
We still hold the show in light rain, so how do you know if the show has been rescheduled?
There are 3 ways to get this information:
•C
heck the website for updates before the faire. We will post a notice that the show has been
cancelled, along with the rescheduled date.
• S ign up for Antiques Faire information. You can sign up on our website to receive email
notifications for show reminders, information or rain updates. Look for the registration box
on the main page of our website: www.alamedapointantiquesfaire.com.

THE POINT
A Specialist’s Perspective
“June Bug” Jewels by Laura A. Baker
Butterflies in flight, flowers blooming, recreation and reinvention – spring is definitely in
the air. Michaan’s Auctions Jewelry Department
presents in the June Fine Sale dazzling and
delightful pieces that echo the beautiful creatures
and colors of spring. The whimsical items range
from the 19th century to contemporary designs,
sure to please serious collectors as well as the
young at heart.
During the early 19th century flowers
remained popular in jewelry design but the period
also saw a resurgence of animals as inspiration.
A re-emerging interest in naturalism drove the
animal motifs to a new level of popularity and by
the latter 19th century, animal, insect and fantasy
creature designs crawled their way onto many
arms, necks and fingers. Reflecting the styles
of this period are a Victorian ruby, diamond,
14k white gold bouquet brooch (lot 1329, $9001,200), an Edwardian diamond, 14k white and
yellow gold, platinum insect necklace containing
a 1.85 cushion-cut diamond (lot 1354, $1,8002,500), a Victorian garnet, diamond, silver, 14k
yellow gold bug brooch displaying a beautiful
blood red color (lot 1355, $2,750-3,000), an
emerald-eyed, diamond, 18k white gold gecko
brooch (lot 1356, $1,200-1,500) and an early 19th
century ring featuring a sapphire, ruby, silver and
14k yellow gold basket of flowers (lot 1357, $700800).
Contemporary styles featuring like-minded
themes are also available.
A wonderfully
geometric Asch Grossbardt multi-stone, 18k
yellow gold bee brooch is being offered as
lot 1382 ($400-600) as well as a tourmaline,
emerald, diamond, 14k yellow gold bug brooch
with beautifully detailed wings (lot 1387, $2,5003,500), a pair of diamond, sapphire, 18k yellow
gold drop flower earrings (lot 1414, $1,9002,500) and a jadeite, diamond, ruby, 14k white
gold butterfly brooch with carved jadeite wings
(lot 1469, $1,200-1,500).
Rounding out the unique novelty collection
is a Pomellato, 18k yellow gold Orso teddy bear
pendant (lot 1377, $800-1,200), a Lalaounis 18k
yellow gold sea horse brooch (lot 1379, $400600) and a Corletto emerald, diamond, enamel,
18k yellow gold tiger ring (lot 1380, $1,4001,800). Three Ruser items are also up for auction,
beginning with a 14k yellow gold “Sundays
Child” charm (lot 1402, $300-500), a synthetic
sapphire, freshwater cultured pearl, 14k yellow
JUNE 5, 2011
gold “Angel” charm (lot 1403, $250-350) and a
synthetic sapphire, freshwater cultured pearl, 14k
yellow gold heart charm (lot 1404, $250-350).
Lastly, are two decidedly feminine pieces: a ruby,
diamond, 14k yellow gold ballet brooch, designed
as a dancer in mid-performance (lot 1406, $600800) and a diamond, 14k white and yellow gold
ribbon brooch, that could attractively finish any
woman’s lapel (lot 1411, $800-1,200). All of the
pieces will be up for auction on Thursday, June 9,
2011 at 2751 Todd Street, Alameda, CA 94501,
with the auction beginning at 10 a.m.

The Art of Tiffany Windows
by Reyne Haines, 20th Century Decorative Arts Specialist
By the time Louis
Comfort
Tiffany
began
designing
windows, the art of
window making had
been alive almost 500
years. The earliest
windows were a mix
of colored glass, all
handmade, and filled
with imperfections
which added to its
unique character. The glass pieces were small,
and put together like a puzzle with broken lead.
Stained glass windows would be the next
phase artisans would create in window design.
Larger pieces of glass were used and they would
be stained with a color or enamel to create
detail. Many of the stained glass windows found
in churches in the United States in the 1800s
were produced in England. Most stained glass
artists in the United States found it necessary to
import glass.
In the late 1800s, two American’s began to
lead in window design: John LaFarge and Louis
C. Tiffany. Both began experimenting with
different types of glass, and different ways to
create the scene of the window without painted
detail (except in figures, faces and hands). In the
1870s there was a large demand for windows in
America. Not just in churches, but in schools,
political buildings and mausoleums. Tiffany
and LaFarge were no longer the only players
in this field. In the New York area there was
Heuser & Hausleiter, Lamb Studios, Francis
Lathrop, and H.W. Young. There were other
Midwest firms producing as well.
In the early years, Tiffany did not
manufacture his own glass for his windows.
He purchased it from several East Coast
glasshouses, and also from a new manufacturer
called Opalescent Glass Works in Kokomo,
Ind. When Tiffany finally began experimenting
with glass production he had the misfortune
of his first two glasshouses being destroyed by
fire. In 1893 he opened a new glasshouse in the
Corona neighborhood of Queens.
In his constant striving to be the best,
Tiffany traveled abroad to find the best
glassblowers and chemists to bring back to the
Corona factory. here would be no color of glass
he could not create.
16
Tiffany windows were not designed strictly
for commercial buildings, but for private
residences of the rich – from the Vanderbilts to
the Havemeyers and even Mark Twain.
Tiffany’s windows were expensive. He
would lose the option for many commissioned
works simply because of the price. The cost of
a mid-size window was $700, the equivalent of
$15,000 today.
As times and tastes changed, so did the
love for all things Tiffany. As the Art Deco
movement began to take hold, more people
began to remove their Tiffany windows and
either pack them away or discard them.
Geometric lines and crystal colors defined the
Art Deco movement. Tiffany’s brightly colored
lamps and windows were thought to be garish
and out of style.
Today Tiffany windows can still be readily
found gracing residences, churches and public
buildings across America. A few of the betterknown in the Los Angeles area are the windows
at First Presbyterian Church, First Methodist
Church and at the Ginter Mausoleum at
Hollywood Cemetery.

What’s It Worth? by Jane Alexiadis, Appraiser, Michaan’s Auction

Q. This bear was given to my Mom as a Christmas
gift in 1918 in Washington Sate. He is straw filled
and has rods in his legs and glass eyes. He is in
very good condition.
I was told he is rare, and that the he was
made in Germany, by a company that went out of
business during the war. Wondering more about
my bear. The child in the photo is me, when I was
about two years old.
A. What a wonderful heirloom and treasure!
While stuffed dolls and animals have been
around forever, the unusual synchronicity of
the birth Teddy Bear as we know it happened
independently in the United States and Germany
in 1902.
In Germany, art student Richard Steiff, the
nephew of stuffed toy maker Margaret Steiff,
had begun sketching the animals at the Stuttgart
zoo. The zoo at the time had a pair of bear cubs
who were sketched frequently by Richard with
realistic looking long snouts and humped backs.
In 1902 Margaret Steiff ’s company began to
produce stuffed bears based on these sketches.
In the United States, president Teddy
Roosevelt had visited Mississippi to help resolve
a border dispute with Louisiana. According to
the story, his Mississippi hosts took the avid
outdoorsman on a hunting trip. The hunt was
unsuccessful so his hosts, hoping to please the
president, managed to capture a mother bear for
Roosevelt to shoot: Roosevelt refused to shoot
either the Mama or her cub.
The incident, “drawing the line” was
captured by Washington Post cartoonist Clifford
Berryman. He depicted Roosevelt drawing a line
in the earth to settle the border dispute while
drawing the line ethically by refusing to shoot
the bear cub.
18
The cartoon went the 1902 version of
viral and toy companies jumped on the trend
producing cuddly stuffed bears. The most
successful of these companies, the Ideal Toy
Company, modeled their bears sitting upright in
an innocent pose after the cartoon. By 1906, after
Roosevelt campaigned with a bear cub mascot,
he was serving his second term and children and
adults alike clamored for stuffed bears.
Your marvelous Teddy Bear with his
humped back, long limbs and long snout
represents the German style realistic bear. The
stuffing is probably excelsior and the fact that
it has rods in the limbs leads me to believe that
this might have started its life as a pull toy rather
than as a cuddly stuffed animal. Steiff and other
German makers posed bears, dogs and donkeys
on all fours and mounted them on four wheeled
trestles to be pulled around.
Most of the Steiff bears of the period
featured swivel necks but your neck appears to be
stitched. This leads me to think that your bear is
not a Steiff but perhaps by one of the many other
high end German toy makers such as Hermann
or Schuco.
Your bear seems to be in great condition
with minimal wear to the mohair fur. If it were
to come to auction it would sell in the $200-300
range. I hope you can hand your lovely bear
down to a grandchild yourself someday!

Here is a profile of one of our bikes that we hope
you enjoy:
This Schwinn American bicycle represents
the best of what we today call classic. Built in
the good old U.S.A., it is what comes to mind
when we imagine the idyllic promise of mid20th century American life. Loved by millions
of young boys and girls, in the ‘50s and ‘60s,
the “paperboy” style frame, durable and sturdy,
became the go-to “clunker” bike at the dawn of
what is now known as mountain biking in
Marin in the late ‘70s. This and many other fine
examples can be found and bought at Changing
Gears Bike Shop.

A Specialist’s Perspective
The Changing Definition of “A Museum Piece”
by Gregory Ghent, Director of Fine Arts, Michaan’s Auctions
Today the phrase “museum piece” has become
synonymous with “a masterpiece,” a remarkable
object or artwork worthy of being admired by the
entire world. This is a fairly new definition of the
term. Even just 50 years ago, a “museum piece”
was an artwork loaned or donated to a museum
because the owner, for a variety of reasons, did
not want it in the home - or castle. There was
much less prestige attached to the loaning or
donation of art to a museum, historical society
or institution. A masterpiece was meant to be
enjoyed at one’s home - or castle, while a museum
piece was a discard.
Not anymore. Since the 1960s art collectors
bang on museum doors to give or loan a
masterpiece they’d bought only a few months
earlier. Museums can be picky about what they
accept. Plus, most museums now have acquisition
committees with budgets to buy artworks that
they really want.
Did you know that at auction previews you
can get an up-close first-hand look at artworks
destined to be a museum piece?
Michaan’s June 9th Fine Art, Furniture,
Decorative Art and Jewelry Auction has samples
of such pieces. We invite you to preview!
