Shout out to Elizabeth...
...who has two of the coolest, sweetest, as well as most fashionable AND the youngest kids regularly hanging out at the Gaylord with their YaYa, Coco, as part of the Gaylord family. Thank you for the refreshing company of Poppy & Shephard! It would be great fun to watch them explore the Children's Garden at the Huntington Library, Museum & Botanical Gardens. The Children's Garden is also a great place for adults to explore, just as long as you do not get stuck in the underground crawl tunnel!

Notes of intrigue for January 1926...
In the preceding Gaylord Glimpses of January 1926 there were some notable particulars listed...
Page 7, the photo & announcement of engagement for Gaylord resident, Elaine Hammerstein of the famous Oscar Hammerstein family. Elaine starred in over 40 films and appeared with Boris Karloff in 'Parisian Nights' in 1925. Her film career spanned the silents from 1915-1926. Tragically, Elaine & her husband were killed in a auto accident in 1948, near Tijuana. She was 50 years of age.
Page 8 & 9, interior photos of how the Gaylord originally looked. Notice the architectural features around the elevators. You will also notice the original mailbox that still hangs proudly today.
Page 10, mention of Charlotte Greenwood taking leave of the Gaylord, after her run at the Orpheum Theater. Charlotte had a long film career from 1915-1961, starring in 34 films. She starred with Don Ameche, Betty Grable & Carmen Miranda in 'Down Argentine Way' in 1948 and was also featured in 'Oklahoma' in 1955.
Page 10, photo & story on Peter Bernard Kyne, Gaylord resident & writer (over 100 titles). He was finishing the novel 'The Understanding Heart' while living here, which in 1927 was made into a film of the same name, starring Joan Crawford.
Page 12, entertainment that took place in the Gaylord that sounds very similar to the events we have going on today in sort of a variety show.
Page 18, the mention of a floodlight being installed at the corner of Kenmore to light the way for pedestrians. Seems they were having problems with vehicles speeding by back in the day also!
