Notes on January 1927...

The complete Gaylord Glimpses, from January 1927, is pictured in the preceding blog post. Click on any one of the pages to enlarge the image and focus in on the content. Some notes of interest I came across...

Page 6, actress Greta Nissen (32 films)having left the Gaylord for a 6 week engagement with the Follies in New York City.
Page 9, a travel story to Lake Arrowhead (and having just read the Feb 2011 issue of 'Sunset' magazine, I will have to take that drive to explore a certain antique shop and enjoy the fresh mountain air).
Page 11, the marriage of film actress, Laura La Plante to film director, William Seiter, residents of the Gaylord. Laura appeared in nearly 90 films with such actors as cowboy star, Tom Mix in 1921 and John Wayne in 1931. William directed nearly 150 films & tv shows, winning a Director's Guild of America award in 1956.
Page 12, a story on our beautiful cast iron & glass screen in the lobby, which was lovingly restored by our Martha, last year.
Page 14, the very first Gaylord residents, Dr. & Mrs. H.S. Chapman. They moved in before the completion of the building and had to bring their belongings in through a front window.
Page 16, the hilarious photo of the forlorn looking proprietress of the official Gaylord flower shop, Kathleen Clifford.
and Page 18, winter resident, S.E. Florsheim, founder & owner of the Florsheim shoe kingdom, gentlemen.
