Slept
late as we didn't get to bed until late. It seems we don't
find much time to spend at Tom Lyle's Villa Valentino pool these days.

Took a long ride to Beverly
Hills
and the Bel
Air section
to see the homes of the movie stars.
 |
| Silent Film Star Buster Keaton |
The old Buster
Keaton
home was impressive in all it's grandeur.
 |
| Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford |
Saw Pickfair
which reeked of wealth.
Loretta
Young's
home was very lovely, but we had to catch a glimpse very quickly as
the small space at the front gate is the only opening from the drive
to the house. The shrubs and trees almost hide the house.

| Child Star Jane Withers with Mickey Rooney |
Of course, we saw hundreds of potential homes and
most of them belonged to Stars, but we didn't know which home
belonged to which Star.
Had dinner tonight at the Beachcombers. The food was all
different from any we have eaten before,but delicious.
Had a Gold cocktail before dinner, which set the dinner off fine. I had never tasted a Gold before. It is a rum drink, delicious, but powerful and served only at the Beachcombers.
This spot is very attractive, all South Sea Island decorations.
After dinner we went to Olvera
Street,
which is the oldest section of Los Angeles, all Spanish and Mexican.
The little shops are all right on the street, and reminded me very
much of Juares,
Mexico.
Tom Lyle bought some perfumed candles for mother and aunt Frances. We saw people in the shop making candles.

In other shops we had our
handwriting analyzed, our palms read and caricatures of Annette and
me.
