\nPaul Rever
e Williams’s inspirational story has fascinated historians for the simple
fact that his journey was so improbable. The orphan son of an African Amer
ican fruit-and-vegetable merchant\, he was repeatedly told he had no chanc
e of ever realizing his childhood dream of becoming an architect. And yet\
, he ignored the naysayers to reach the pinnacle of his chosen profession\
, while overcoming widespread discrimination throughout early- to mid-twen
tieth century America. The odds against him succeeding were enormous.

\nPatrick J. Watson was born in 1876 to his parents\, C olonel James Alexander Watson of Scotland and Maria Dolores Dominguez on t he old Manual Dominguez Rancho\, which encompasses much of present day cit ies of Torrance\, Wilmington\, Compton\, Carson\, San Pedro and the South Bay area of Los Angeles. This was the first Spanish land grant in CA from King Carlos of Spain. Patrick Watson was the vice president of the Watson Land Co and in 1923\, he sold his share of the original Rancho property to The Pan American Oil Company which was a subsidiary of the Doheny Company . In the mid-1920s\, Patrick Watson & his wife\, Miss Mamie O’Farrell of S an Francisco\, were looking to move off of the original Rancho property an d decided to build a new home for themselves in the fashionable and develo ping area of Hancock Park.
\nPatrick hired the notable Architectural firm of Hunt & Burns to design his new family estate on a large double ac cess lot located on a prominent corner in the new district of Hancock Park . During their tenure together\, Sumner P. Hunt and Silas R. Burns built some of the most beautiful buildings in the Los Angeles area including: < a href='https://digital.lib.washington.edu/architect/structures/5029' targ et='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'>Automobile Club of Southern Californ ia\, Headquarters – 1921-1923\, Children’s Hospital\, Los Angeles – 19 10\, The Wilshire – Ebell Club\, Cl ubhouse – 1926-1927\, Los Angel es Public Library\, Vermont Square Branch – 1913\, McKinley House\, Lafayette Park\, Los Angeles\, CA – 1 917\, Scripps College\, Claremo nt\, CA – 1929\, The Los Angeles Tennis Club – 1927 and The Wilshire Country Club – 1919.
\nFor his new home\, Patrick Watson would enlist the services of the Sweden-born master builder C.J. Nordquist who had a well-deserved reputation for buil ding some of the grandest homes and public buildings in Los Angeles.

\nIt’s 1938 and women seeking a quick\, no-questions split from their husbands head to the “div orce capital of the world\,” Reno\, Nevada. There’s one catch: they have t o wait six weeks to become “residents.” Many of these wealthy\, soon-to-be divorcees flock to the Flying Leap\, a dude ranch that caters to their ev ery need.
\nTwenty-four-year-old Ward spent one year at Yale before his family lost everything in the Great Depression\; now he’s earning an h onest living as a ranch hand at the Flying Leap. Admired for his dashing g ood looks—“Cary Grant in cowboy boots”—Ward thinks he’s got the Flying Lea p’s clients all figured out. But two new guests are about to upend everyth ing he thinks he knows: Nina\, a St Louis heiress and amateur pilot back f or her third divorce\, and Emily\, whose bravest moment in life was leavin g her cheating husband back in San Francisco and driving herself to Reno.< /p>\n
A novel about divorce\, marriage\, and everything that comes in be tween (money\, class\, ambition\, and opportunity)\, Better Luck Next Time is a hilarious yet poignant examination of the ways friendship c an save us\, love can destroy us\, and the family we create can be stronge r than the family we come from.

Wednesday\, Se ptember 22nd. 7:00 PM. In 1933\, “Fortune” magazine suggested to the Ameri can fashion industry that they could benefit from the showmanship demonstr ated by the Hollywood designers in order to compete with the French coutur iers. The Hollywood designer “Fortune” most praised was Adrian of M-G-M. I t was a logical choice as Adrian’s design for Joan Crawford in the 1932 fi lm “Letty Lynton” dominated the fashion industry for the next two years.

\nDespite offers to go into the retail business as early as 19 28\, Adrian did not enter the commercial fashion world until 1942\, after leaving M-G-M\, but taking his fame with him. In 1944 he would win the pre stigious Coty Award for fashion design. One of the reasons he did so was h is innovative Trompe l’oiel painted imagery on fabric\, a tasteful solutio n to the L-85 fabric restrictions of World War II. So proud of the award w as Adrian that he added the line “American Designer” to all his advertisem ents in the prestigious fashion magazines.
\nBy 1952\, he had achiev ed all his dreams. He was famous\, successful\, married to a lovely woman\ , movie star Janet Gaynor\, father to a son\, Robin\, had traveled to Afri ca\, and was working happily in fashion\, theatre\, and fine art. Unfortun ately\, a weak heart demanded he give up his fashion business. His “retire ment” however\, was hardly inactive.
\nAttendance at a film festival in Brazil in 1952 led the Adrians to build – by hand – a home outside the new capital of Brasilia. They spent half their year in Brazil and half in Los Angeles. Janet made a return to movies in 1957\, and Adrian designed his first stage production since 1924\, a musical version of his film hit “Grand Hotel”. Dual offers came to Janet and Adrian to continue theatrical work\, her to star in “Midnight Sun” with Arthur Hill\, and for Adrian to design for the musical which became “Camelot” and for which he was awarde d a posthumous Tony Award\, shared with Tony Duquette\, who completed the production after Adrian suddenly died three months into the assignment.
\nThe nostalgia boom began just a few years after Adrian’s passing\, b
ut the surviving pieces of his film work were soon commanding high prices
at auctions\, with the Judy Garland-worn ruby slippers becoming the most v
aluable of all movie artifacts. Also\, his couturier work began to be pres
ented in museum exhibitions all over the world.
\nAccording to their
son\, Robin\, neither Janet nor Adrian dwelt in the past. He would probabl
y be a little surprised at the attention his work still receives\, but wou
ld nonetheless be pleased about it\, I’m sure.
I have studied Adri an and his work for the last two decades\, with the result being my book\, “Adrian – American Designer\, Hollywood Original” and I am pleased to be able to share new information with those familiar with his work and to int roduce him to new audiences who know the designer\, but not as much about the man.

\nHaving been approached by many guests\, patrons\, and employees over the years\, Keith has heard it all. “Two tourists walked up to me and asked how they could get inside the mansion for the tour. When I told them the interior i s closed to the public one replied\, ‘Oh\, because we saw a man in period clothing staring out the window and we thought he was part of the tour.’” This marks just one encounter of 237 paranormal stories documented at Grey stone Mansion. Keith spent nearly three years researching the supernatural activity at the estate. With 86 interviews\, including guests of the park \, City staff\, police officers\, movie crew personnel\, and janitorial se rvices\, Ghosts of Greystone – Beverly Hills promises you a riveting histo ry and ghostly encounters. For more than two decades\, the mystery surroun ding the strange events taking place in and around Greystone Mansion has b een suppressed\, ignored\, and disbelieved. Along with rare photographs an d intriguing details about the landscape and architecture\, Keith delves i nto the family of Ned and Lucy Doheny\, including the fateful murder/suici de on the night of February 16\, 1929\, and other unfortunate deaths that surround these enigmatic grounds that may have stoked the paranormal fire of activity. “People from all over the world come to visit this iconic loc ation. They want to peek behind the curtain and observe this ghostly estat e for themselves. Ghosts of Greystone – Beverly Hills will allow them to d o just that.”

\nA mode st but determined young dancer from Glen Rock\, New Jersey\, Rosemary Nove llino joined the Radio City Music Hall Ballet Company\, the classical danc e counterpart to the world-famous Rockettes\, in 1966. After a shaky begin ning\, she danced with the group for twelve years\, eventually becoming it s Dance Captain and Assistant to the legendary choreographer Peter Gennaro . In the mid-1970s\, questionable behind-the-scenes changes in Music Hall management alarmed hundreds of employees\, but no one was prepared for the official announcement in early 1978\, that Radio City Music Hall was slat ed to close that April and be demolished.
\nDrawing upon formerly un tapped inner strengths\, Rosemary refused to let this happen. She became P resident of “ The Showpeople’s Committee to Save Radio City Music Hall” and motivate d fellow workers\, friends\, thousands of Radio City fans around the world \, New York and national media\, cultural leaders and politicians to suppo rt the cause.
