In the Movies...

The Gaylord made an appearance (on the left) in 1925's, 'The Red Kimona.' Starring Priscilla Bonner, the film tells the story of a woman who finds herself working as a prostitute in New Orleans and eventually winds up in Los Angeles. RACY! The production of this film was lead by a mostly all female team. You will notice the Talmadge (on the right) and that there is no Wilshire Christian Church in site yet, at the corner of Wilshire & Normandie (foreground, left), that would be constructed in 1926.

A big THANK YOU to Camille, up in Oregon, who spotted our Gaylord while watching the film and sent us this film still.
