I’ll look it up, but IIRC even at the time Chandler was writing there was this ‘old school’ pronunciation of Los Angeles that they were using to weed out the ‘newcomers’ (lol, this is in like 1930)— and the old school pronunciation, Chandler mentions somewhere, is what we’d think of as the super Anglo one. Los Angul-lees.

The proper way would be with a Spanish accent. Technically. But, it’s been anglocized.
