'Glimpses' from Sept 1927...

With this issue, read the blurb in the story on page 11; about our old neighbor, the Brown Derby and other local novelty eateries from the time (photos on the following pages).
On page 14; photo of the lovely Broadway actress, Georgette Cohan, whom we made mention of in last months 'Glimpses.'
On page 15; mention of the return of resident Mrs. Ralphs, the wife of the founder of Ralphs grocery store chain.
On pages 16 & 17; a story regarding when the Gaylord turned #05 & #07 units and #14 & #16 units into combined larger units, with double door beds AND each of the #14 & #16 combos being furnished with baby grand pianos!!! The color schemes for these apartments all sounded quite beautiful.
