I’ve been researching Hollywood history for my novels for 10 years now, and this is the first time I’ve come across the existence of the Ciro’s Scroll. I’m guessing it hung on the wall? Near the entrance? Does anybody reading this recall it? Below is a partial list of some of the signatures. Click here to see an enlargeable version.
Jack Benny, Lucille Ball, the Ritz Bros., Mary Pickford, Basil Rathbone, Harold Lloyd, Bob Hope, John Payne, Merle Oberon, Jimmy Durante, Roy Rogers, Hoagy Carmichael, Jeanette MacDonald, Joan Bennett, Roy Rogers, Dana Andrew, Claudette Colbert, Harold Lloyd, Ann Miller, Jane Withers, Ross Hunter, Victor Mature, Edgar Bergen, Gloria de Haven, and Yvonne de Carlo.
Oh how I wish you and I could have gone to Ciro’s together – we would have had SO much fun. Love, Blue & Lou.
