Los Angeles notes from a Beverly Hills to Manhattan jaunt
A 1934 travel column recalls downtown Los Angeles as distant to Beverly Hills and Hollywood residents while detailing elite enclaves on Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevard. The piece surveys socialites, studios, and encounters with Charlie Chaplin and Paulette Goddard, with reflections on San Francisco, New Orleans, and New York as cultural contrasts. It chronicles sightings of Ted Healy, Doris Kenyon, and Jay F. Price, ending with a humorous hotel restaurant critique and a farewell to Los Angeles ambience.
