November 1925 'The Buzzer'...

Sadly, this is not the complete issue of the Gaylord's November 1925, 'The Buzzer'. A couple of the pages are missing. But still, some interesting events listed in the issue that were taking place at our beloved home.

Of note, the 'Brilliant Affair Planned by Notables,' which was hosted by USC President, Dr. Rufus B. Von KleinSmid and brought together a talented group of artists & musical composers, such as Carrie Jacobs Bond, composer of many song and Howard Chandler Christy, the man behind the 'Christy Girl' illustrations.

3 faces of screen & stage, topped by the beautiful Greta Nissen.

And, mention of the Gaylord debutantes, after a bridge tea, partaking in 'a free-for-all Charleston contest,' which I recall from a later issue, this dance being banned from the Gaylord by management because it was deemed vulgar.

Good times!
