Lovely Arlette Marchall...

Miss Marchall was a French film actress who starred in over 40 films. She came to Hollywood in 1926 to work in the industry here. Arlette chose the Gaylord as her residence and while living here, was featured in the Academy Award winning Best Picture film for 1927, 'Wings,' which starred Clara Bow, Gary Cooper & Hedda Hopper. She teamed up again with Clara Bow for 'Hula' and starred in 'A Gentleman of Paris' with Adolphe Menjou, both filmed in 1927. She worked in several other films before returning to Paris in 1928 to continue her career in the French film industry up through the 1950's.

Back in the mid-late 1920's, the Gaylord seemed to be teeming with many film actresses in every hall and corner. Their spirit lives on within our walls today!
