Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton -- our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
First up, from July 1909, a quick but very detailed article about Lillian Nordica's third marriage to New York financier George Young. Nordica and Young were separated when she embarked on her South Pacific tour.
YOU CAN READ MORE ABOUT NORDICA AT THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE HERE.
Next up, from Croton's own Gloria Swanson, an ad and clipping for the 1924 Allan Dwan production of HER LOVE STORY.
It was produced by Famous Players-Lasky, distributed by Paramount Pictures, and starred Gloria Swanson and Ian Keith. It was based on a short story by Mary Roberts Rinehart, often called the American Agatha Christie. You can read more about her here. The 1924 film is unfortunately, considered lost.
Swanson's co-star, American actor Ian Keith, was a veteran character actor of the legitimate theater, and appeared in a variety of colorful roles in silent features of the 1920s. His stage training made him a natural choice for the new "talking pictures" but he enjoyed a long and varied career. YOU CAN READ MORE ABOUT HIM HERE.
One of the Everything Croton Elves is a big fan of Croton artist and cartoonist, Abe Birnbaum, who died in 1966. She came across this post on Birnbaum from INK SPILL; read more at https://michaelmaslin.com/new-yorker-artist-abe-birnbaum-nothings-ugly-everything-is-what-it-is/
