In the glass case, opposite the passenger elevators, you will find one of the hotel registers from 1926. On the right page, some of the signatures listed here are those of J.B. Lilly and his wife, Ruth Lilly, who arrived on 08/31/1926 and checked into unit #201. J.B. was one of the original owners and the President of the Gaylord and Ruth was editor, for a time, of the original 'Gaylord Glimpses' magazine.
Also listed on this page are Eduardo Ortiz and Mrs. Antonia Prieto de Ortiz, who signed in on 09/03/1926 for unit #604, from Mexico City. At the time, Mr. Ortiz was the Secretary of Communication & Public Works for the Republic of Mexico.
On the left hand page, glancing down to 08/20/1926, you will find the signature of actress Marjorie Daw, coming over from the Ambassador Hotel and registering for our unit #1114. Miss Daw was featured in 72 films from 1914 to 1929.
These are just some of the distinguished signatures that have graced the pages of the Gaylord registers.
